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 .
Another “Last Ride” candidate for today. I’ve not seeing much but scrap value here.

“1940s Jeep Cj. No title. Bill of sale only. It is rough but it can be saved. Would make a great ratrod. No engine but trans and t case are still there. Just trying to thin out the heard too many projects. Will trade for good running generator, truck bed tool boxes that mount on flatbed, 100 Gallon skinny fuel tank.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3750.
(06/21/2022) This is a this running jeep. The body has some rust.
“1946 Willy’s jeep cj2a
Starts, runs, drives, stops
Yellow with black racing stripes
Way too much to list. Just give me a call.
NO TITLE. BILL OF SALE.
There is a very easy, legit, and fully legal way to obtain title for this jeep. If you’re interested, I’ll gladly tell you how.
A brief rundown about this jeep:
It sat in a while in a field at the original owner’s property. I don’t know exactly how long. I was told it was in a shed.
It was VERY not running when I got it.
There was very clearly some work work/maintenance done to it however..
What I have done over the past 2 years:
I was going to make this into a plow vehicle, but have decided to stick with my atv.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(05/30/2023) Little known about this 2A, but it seems to have potential. I don’t see any obvious rust.

“Listing for family. 1947 CJ2A needs a new home. Very little is known about it. Looks to be mostly complete and appears that it was driven in to the shop where it currently resides. Is currently in Republic.”
I’ve never heard of using Suzuki Sidekick brakes on a jeep.

(06/20/2023) Seems worth a look. It includes a Sears Deluxe hardtop.

“This Willys CJ2A is in pretty solid shape with good floors, tub and frame. I haven’t found any severe rust that I’d worry about. The paint is peeling up, but the panels are quite straight and ready for a new coat. It has a soft top under the hard top, a spare tire carrier and all the glass. This little champ ran and drove when I got it, the previous owner had put an industrial l134 under the hood. It had a head gasket leak and enough water got into the crankcase that is developed a knock. I shut it off immediately, so that motor is definitely rebuildable. I put the original motor back in it, an l134 that was recently rebuilt before seizing from sitting. I got the pistons free but one of the valves is still stuck, I’ll continue trying to break it loose. No title. I’m looking to sell it for the 3k I have in it, since I don’t time for it anymore or the facilities. Ask me anything else you want to know!”
This may have a replacement body. Either way, it looks solid.

“1946 willys Jeep 2.8 GM V6 $3,600 located in northeast Nebraska”
Listed as a 1948, this has a column shifter. Looking at the interior pic of the left side, this might have had indents that were filled in. Unclear how much value is here given the engine issue and body rust.

“I have a 1948 Jeep Willy CJ2A The engine will need to be rebuilt and atleast one tire replaced. The front floor board has several rust spots. There is no windshield. This is definitely a project Jeep”
This has a variety of updates, including an unusual headlight setup.

“Rough shape, potential project! Have title which is huge with these old Jeeps. Unfortunately not the original engine, but fortunately it has a 5.8 liter motor from an 80s ford! Hit me up with questions!”
Listed as a 1947, the body looks to be a Lefty, so likely a 1948.

“It needs work for restauration, it has motor and transmission, papers”
Thanks to Greg for spotting this one. Looks in good shape for the price.

“Nice running fun Willys Jeep, motor and trans been gone through, converted to 12 volt. Fun to cruise-“
This could be a good deal. I would follow the fuel line or clean the tank, as it sounds like something is plugging up the fuel given the description.

“Runs, Goes, Then Dies, Then Runs Again… Needs a little love from someone who knows what they are doing. Probably a simple fix to be reliable fun. Sold As Is.”
This project has been stored a while.

“Cj2a in good shape very solid body it’s been stored indoors for last 20 years. I did have this jeep running briefly about 2 years ago. New seats gas tank and fuel lines. Tractor tires do not go with the jeep. I will put different tires on the Jeep if it sells.”
The pics are pretty small, so hard to tell much. I’m guessing this was not an original CJ-2L.

“Stretched CJ body and frame. I do have a title for it”

“Cool Flat Fender, CJ2A, Big trencher, Double PTOs, 4 Cylinder, Beefed up frame, Very complete, Just Bought it a few months ago and was going to take the body off for my jeep project but can’t bring myself to disturb it’s completeness, may trade for a nice CJ of equal value!”
This is one of the nicest looking 2L’s that I’ve seen. Given it’s proximity to Spokane, it’s highly likely it’s a 2L out of that area.

“1947 Willys Jeep converted to pick-up. Archive photos. Original engine swapped out for older Ford Ranger engine, charging system converted from 6 volt to 12 volt. Starts, runs, needs some brake work. Original engine included in price. Barn stored in winter. Looking for younger, more mechanically inclined owner!”
Roger Martin spotted this 2A. It looks like a good price.

“1946 Willys CJ2A. Restored by previous owner. Buick V6 engine, 3 speed transmission.

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $12,500.
This jeep has a new tub. It lacks a few of the original details, such as bow holders and a pto bar.
“1946 Willys cj2a with L134 engine, T-90 3 spd transmission. Complete new steel repli-tub kit from Willys Overland Motors including tub, fenders, hood, tailgate, and windshield frame. Has new directionals, seat belts, electronic windshield wiper, gas tank.Frame was sandblasted, primed, and painted. New brakes (complete) exhaust, wiring harness, and seat cushions and covers. Has front seats and rear folding backseat. Whole jeep currently in black epoxy primer with Bullet undercoating. Fun jeep! Currently registered and insured. Asking $12,500”
It appears all three are CJ-2As, based on the bodies.

“We have these 3 Willys Jeeps for sale. 47 has a title. Two of them have motors and transmissions, one is the flathead and all three are 4 wheel drive 1/4 ton. All three roll. The first one pictured turns freely, has oil and antifreeze. I think it would start with a good starter, the starter is present but does not work. Fix up or part out, there are lots of parts between the three, you could probably make two good ones out of the three.
This one looks to be a Cj-2A based on the radiator.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6300.
(06/22/2023) This looks to be built as a sand jeep. It is 2WD.
