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 .
This appears to be a solid flattie.

If the tire mount is original to the driver’s side location, then this may be a “Lefty”. There are no top bow holder brackets on the passenger side.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/250259077992750
“945 Willys CJ-2a. Heavily modified, setup for an old corvette engine with auto tranny. Complete Koenig king winch and Kelly hard top. None of the 45 stuff is left other than the body frame axles and possibly T-case. Not a single data tag either, but the serial is stamped into the frame by hand, #10938. Body is in pretty good shape rust wise but has plenty of dings and bondo from the era when they wanted em SMOOTH on the outside.”
This has an aluminum body and a Ford 4cyl engine.

“Cool project hand built body out of aluminum don’t know much about it hit me up with cash or trades ”

(07/03/2023) It’s a project with a 283/t90 combo and 2 225 Buick V6s, along with an SM420.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/6497372277050989
“I started something I can’t finish 1947 CJ2A… I bought this about two years ago. Ran and drove good, shifted well then had carb issues. It had a sbc 283/t-90 combo, but it started running rough. I pulled the 4 barrel Holley carb for a motorcraft 2 barrel, in doing so stripped the threads in the intake manifold. Ended up pulling the motor, found 2, 225 odd fires out of a jeepster. I also bought a SM420. Planned on building a nice trail rig. With lack of funds this project has been on standby and it’s not going anywhere. I have a rolling chassis of a jeepster along with this. I’m asking $6k for everything. Id be also inclined to trade, fishing boat, dual sport motorcycle, harley, Hobie PA, etc . I’m open to ideas. Of course delete is this is not appropriate. I AM IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA I’ll take $6k cash for everything.”
Engine runs. Has a Sears-type half cab. Unclear how much value is here.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/308097185136602/
“1952 CJ3a. The 4 cylinder flat head runs for a second or two when gas is poured down the carb. Tub has lots of rust. Clean title in my name. The windshield and hard half cab are for a CJ2a and do not fit quite right. Seat frames, wheels, and heater appear to be period correct. Located in Ashton, Idaho AND NO WHERE NEAR and hundreds of miles away from Boise or Coeur d’alene, Idaho. Tires will hold air just long enough to load on a trailer. Price is firm or I will part it out to make my money.”
Floors are patched and drains holes filled.

“Just testing the waters to see if there is any interest in this ole girl. It’s a 1949 Willy’s CJ-2A. She’s a blast to drive and will go anywhere and do anything. I’m open to offers but would also like to see it go to the right hands. Shoot me a message with what you think”

“Have a 1946 Jeep cj2a for sale. Runs and drives. Have title in hand. Asking 7k but negotiable.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5200.
(05/05/2023) It’s a project.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/618056067019552
“1948 Willys CJ2A with clean Utah title in hand. The Good: 350 CI Chevrolet Goodwrench crate engine with very few miles, it runs well. Edelbrock Pro-Flo multiport EFI, adapter bellhousing mates to the original manual transmission, transfer case features twin shifters. Clutch is like new, All new brake shoes and wheel cylinders, new wheel bearings and hubs in front axle, and lots of other new parts. AutoMeter gauges all work. Includes a soft top. All fluids are fresh. The Bad: Power steering isn’t connected, unsure if it will work or not. Brakes and clutch are not working, likely a bad master cylinder and possibly a clutch slave cylinder. Some cancer on the floor pan support rails which is common because these were built with wood between the metal in these areas. Otherwise the rest of the body is cancer free. This 1948 CJ2A is a great platform for a rock crawler, sand buggy, or whatever your vision is. The 350 small block Chevy has tons of power for a small, lightweight vehicle like this. You can finish it as is or put the clean body on a custom frame built for whatever you’re in to.”
This appear to have some late model Free-Lock hubs.

“Complete CJ2 jeep Needs engine rebuild. Drive train is good. If I don’t sell it as is I will be asking $6500 with a rebuilt engine. Not sure on the miles. On non opp and title in hand. floor boards are not rotted out. The engine has been sitting for years with the cylinder head off. so the cylinder bores are rusty.

Might be value here.

View all the information on eBay
“Willys. 1946 CJ2A (agri Jeep or farm jeep) Note the extra shifter in the floor….. I purchased this Jeep from my parents estate. My dad had many Jeeps through the years and this one he thought was special because not many agri jeeps were produced. Has been in storage for last 8 yrs right where these pics were made. I did crank it a few times but I think fuel pump has gone bad since. 134cu.in. “Go Devil” engine makes 63 hp @ 2,000 rpm.
These Jeeps were hitched to plows, cultivators,mowing machines, harrows,and lime spreaders to tackle common farm tasks. Tires are dry rotted, there is a small hole in floor board on pass side [see pic] all other sheet metal seems to be in good shape. Chassis not rusted, only surface rust. Was painted best I can remember 20 yrs ago… New top bows as indicated in pics, do not have the canvas top. Tilt out windshield. Also have an extra engine, transfer case and trans, along with 2 extra heads. Not sure of the year but looks to be the same thats incld. Will assist in loading. Could get it running and drive as is or restore.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
