Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .

“Make offer – mostly original 46 column shift. Runs,drives,stops. Matching numbers, solid wheels, new seats(original frames), shifts smooth. Comes with original key coil and other parts. Leaks little oil (rear main). Very original. I am 3rd owner. Little rust in the typical places. Reason for selling: running out of room in the garage, I have 2 other Willy’s I’m restoring. More pics on request. Please PM for any questions/offers.”
Neither jeep has front frame horns, so it’s not clear exactly what years these are. Both appear to be militarized CJ-2As or CJ-3As in very good shape.

All original, CJ 2A with the iconic Go Devil engine. This little Willys has all original drivetrain. It runs great! Starts, steers and stops as it should. New clutch. New gas tank, new fuel pump, and rebuilt carburetor.  New tires on some sweet vintage deep dish wheels. Clean Colorado title in hand. We bought a side-by-side for my wife, so I need to liquidate a little of my Willys collection to help the bank account recover.”
This has potential. Thanks to Tom for sharing.

“This is a 48 or 49 model Jeep and it is in Brady, TX. Been in the family for a few years. It runs and drives, no problem👍 The data plate is worn and hard to make out on the last digit of the VIN.

A YJ powertrain comes with this project. Unclear how much value is here. Note the object between the axles and frame. The glove box may indicate it is a replacement body, though it’s in rough shape.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/421519533743411
“This is a near all original cj2a with m38. It is hard to tell which model because of the mix up of parts during their creation. The engine is an iron duke from a postal Jeep. Extra transfer case and parts included. I HAVE PAPERS and a powertrain from a 1990 yj 2.5l I wanted to swap but never got around to it for an addition 1000$ I have a ton more photos available. The windshield frame is rotted aswell as the floor pans. Though fixed poorly they are solid. The top has since been removed. Car is not running”

This column-shift CJ-2A has lots of rust.

“Hi there, for sale is my 1947 Willy’s Overland CJ2A. This little jeep has been an awesome vehicle, and doesn’t need much. It has the F-Head Hurricane Willy’s engine that was torn apart and completely gone through, along with the transmission and transfer case. Gaskets and seals were replaced and fresh oil throughout the drive train.
This will start on the first crank even after sitting for a couple weeks. The differentials have fresh fluid and the manual hubs have been gone through.
The transfer case has a high and low range Newer drum brakes and it stops reasonably well.
I drive it all over town and have had it on the freeway for short periods. It will go 35 great, but should probably get some new tires if you plan on long freeway trips.
The Jeep is coated in a Linex type coating that is extremely tough. No rust on the Jeep, any old spots were cut out and repaired by the previous owner. Asking $8,500 open to trade offers.”
This looks like a nicely restored VEC.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/933505475021821
“1946 CJ-2A VEC (Very Early Civilian). This Jeep is an early production of the CJ-2A with a column shift transmission. I am the 3rd owner and have documentation from the original family including pictures and the history. It was purchased by a family friend who had it restored. The Jeep includes many accessories including an extended bed and an original style half cab top. I am currently in the process of installing a new radiator, new transmission synchronizers and some steering components. If you want it before I get that work done, we can negotiate a lower price.”
This looks solid and has a few updates.

“Edit: buyer who I was holding the Jeep for did not come so it’s back up for sale is my 1947 Willys CJ2A. I’ve owned this Jeep for several years, I did not do the restoration on the Jeep. If you’re looking for a “correct” Willys this is definitely not the one for you. The Jeep has a mix of aftermarket parts as well as an aftermarket body kit, you DO not have to worry about rust repair with this Jeep as other flat fenders of this era. It runs and drives okay, I ended up buying a Ford GPW military jeep so I’ve lost interest in maintaining and driving it. Clean and clear PA title in my name. With a Jeep this age there are a few issues- typical Jeep oil leaks. Occasionally the transmission will grind when downshifting into second, it DOES not pop out of gear, just will grind when going to a downshift. The fuel gauge also is not accurate whatsoever, I believe this to be a float issue, the rod might need to be adjusted accordingly to the fuel level in the tank. Vehicle is sold AS IS.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6250. As Muley notes, and I completely missed, this is 2WD. The engine and radiator suggests 2A, but the front frame rails have been modified, so those are no help in identifying it. The axle might be DJ, but it is five lug. So, appears a mix of parts based on the pics.
(02/26/2023) This has a fiberglass body with a solid back and a fiberglass front clip.
