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 .
Rebuilt a couple years ago.

“1946 Willys CJ-2A fully restored. This is a non-military model. Complete ground up/frame off restoration on this vehicle. The only thing that was not fully rebuilt was the engine (it had plenty of compression and was super clean). Differentials, transmission, and transfer case have all new gears, bearings, and seals. New master brake cylinder along with new brakes and brake cylinders at all four wheels. New clutch, pressure plate, and release bearing. Synthetic lube in all gear boxes and silicone brake fluid. Tires are new non directional tires and it has always been garaged since it was completed. Over $15,000 worth of parts were used (not including labor and materials such as welding rods, hardware, etc). System was converted from 6V to 12V and turn signals were added. The rest of the vehicle is original.Two and a half years were spent putting this all together and it looks factory new. Great to take to shows. Gets a lot of attention.
Complete proceeds from the sale of this Willys will be going to our church. Asking $20,000, which is a more than fair price given all that was done to this vehicle.”

I don’t see anything to indicate this is a 1945 2A. More likely a 1946 given the triple dash plates.

“This is my Willys 47′ CJ2A. I found a new project Jeep that I want to restore so I’m putting her up for sale. New odometer reads miles since rebuild. I put a ton of hours into her. It was a farm Jeep originally then a car collector did a quick fix up on her. Body is solid. Only bondo was where they took off the spare tire holder to customize it a bit. The spare tire support in the wheel well was kept in tact. They changed her color to red. Under the gas tank and other concealed spots found her true gray color. Originally I was going to drive it “as is” but every pinion yoke leaked badly due to the leather seals that were still on her. Then I found the gas tank leaked as well as the radiator. The brakes needed new cylinders and the wiring was brittle. Transfer case we as ok but the transmission would kick out of second gear when down shifting. The “Go Devil” flat head motor ran ok but had the problematic cracks above and below the distributor. I can go on.
Now here’s what I did to her.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,900.
(05/07/2016) This has some unusual mods, especially the tow bar/front bumper. It’s listed as a ’49.

“For Sale: One of a Kind 1947 Willy’s Jeep (CJ-2A)
This Jeep has been carefully rebuilt from the ground up over 3 years by my father, a retired certified ASEA mechanic. Starting from a sandblasted frame, new-off-shelf (N.O.S) parts were used whenever possible. Every piece has been carefully rebuilt and reassembled – you won’t find a cleaner, or more authentic rebuild of a 1947 Willy’s. Lots of fun to take off-road, or cruise around town with the windshield down. See below for details on each component. Thanks!
