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 .
The body appears in good shape. I doubt this one lasts long.

“Price Reduced! Turns heads wherever it goes! Military paint scheme, OD green. Great town car and fun to drive. Nothing run by a computer on this vehicle! This modified CJ2A has a 1972 Ford Pinto engine, modified steering system and a Cj3a windshield. In the past year it has all new military tires and tubes, 15 inch rims, new right front hub, all new brake drums, new brakes, new carburetor, alternator and regulator and battery. Windshield wiper on driver side. Original transmission with added overdrive (55 mph on highway.) It runs well and will inspire you to continue to improve it. It’s a WILLYS JEEP.

(09/12/2022) TJ shared this jeep. Interestingly, the manufacturer of the hardtop is “Overland Manufacturing Ordinance”.

“1947 Willys CJ2A. Original flat head 4 cylinder, 3 speed. Vehicle ran well when I garaged it 27 years ago. It has been in a closed garage since 1995 except for the last 18 months. Vehicle is complete but in need of a restoration. I primered it when I originally bought it to discourage rust but there is still some decay in the expected spots. Comes equipped with a “Overland Manufacturing Ordinance” hard top which is in OK condition. Asking $3500 or best offer.”
It’s been stored for a while. The body was repaired at some point.

“1946 willys jeep. Recently pulled out of storage after 30 years. All original. Was going to restore but plans have changed. $5,500 OBO or open to trades”
This is a mix of parts and ingenuity.

“1940s-1960s MB, GPW, Willys, CJ2A A lot of new parts, bearings, seals, gaskets, U joints, sandblasted frame and body plus paint, wiring and hoses/lines.

This body has been rebuilt.

“Candy apple red cj2a 1948 Willy’s 11” drums original drive train new wiring hubs windshield all new brakes lines and cylinders everything works as it should. Another frame with springs axels transfer case steering box”
It’s a project with some new parts. This may be partially disassembled.

“1947 Willys CJ-2A for sale. Frame is solid and the Engine is not frozen. Was in the middle of restoring it but we sold our house, so it needs to go. 3 speed on the tree (only 7500 made).

Listed as a 1946, it appears to have a later grill. It seems like there could be some parts value here at the very least.

“Listing for a friend. If interested, message me your number and he will call you when he’s available. 1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A with title.”
Unclear how much value is here. There is a rear PTO gearbox included.

“Has go devil motor with pto has a body in not so good condition and lots of other parts”
This seller has several partial jeeps/chassis for sale. Not all of this is CJ-2A.

“I have 3 cj2 a frames with trans and transfer case in each a decent body hood and grill fenders are rough there are 2 4cyl one runs good other unknown and 1 flat head engine that is disassembled have 1 1948 title and vin on the frame $3000 obo can deliver for $1.50 a mile”
This looks to be a CJ-3A chassis with a CJ-2A body.

“42 willys army jeep. Been in the shed the last 15 years. No title but ran when parked motor is not locked up”
UPDATE: **SOLD** was $5000.
(09/02/2022) This has no title or registration. What does the shifter between the seats control? Is that a plow-related device?
“Listing for my father in law. I know nothing more that what is in the ad. Was used an driveway plow in the past but has not run in years. Long side front axle shaft is broken. Been in barn sitting.”
UPDATE: Still Available.

“Rust free 1947 willys jeep everything but fuel gage works. Runs and drives as it should. Firm on price. Cash only no payments or trades.”
UPDATE: Steve notes the plates indicate this is a 1948.
This appears to be a later model CJ-2A; the seller does not seem to know the year (no title?).

“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A Does not run. Driver’s side wheel studs are broken off.”
This was priced at $12,500 and seems to have sold pretty quickly. Of note is that it has the Hudson steering mod. If Wikimedia is correct, this may have been from a 1954 Hudson.

“Redone by previous owner, who upgraded from Go Devil to Hurricane engine. I bought in 2016. Converted to 12V in 2019. Just redid brakes and added dual-reservoir master cylinder this year.

“No engine or title. Rest is almost complete and in good shape. Floor pans are the worst. Wouldn’t take much to get it running and driving. 2 new tires.”

(07/03/2022) I believe this has a Porter & Reed hardtop, though the back of this top appears more curved at the top than the normal Porter & Reed tops.

“1948 cj2a runs and drives left rear and front right tires go flat no title 4000 obo”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
(07/03/2019) I can’t make out the serial number on the dash plate, but this has tool indents and it has rear floaters.
The white jeep has a fiberglass body.
“Both for one price . One has fiberglass body. Haven’t been cranked in years”
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/611258357250977
Maybe some parts value?

“1946 Willy’s Jeep, Project car or Decoration piece. Rolling project, no engine. Transmission, transfer case, driveshafts and differentials are there. Also the bell housing is for 350SBC (Small Block Chevy). I might consider selling the transmission separately. Will need fair amount of work. Depending on what you want to do with it. Tires are 30×9.5 R15 LT 6PR. On (Driver side rear tire was not holding air. I got tired of it and bought, brand new tire.) Sorry, No title. Just BOS. Price: $1750 Prefer cash deal, but will consider Trade to a 1972 or older car or truck or newer BMW 1600cc Touring bike”
UPDATE: price dropped to $1100.
(06/07/2022) One of the CJ-2As has a DJ-3A hardtop. The other CJ-2A is disassembled.

This might have a 2A body on it (I think I see the ignition switch hole on the dash for a 2A).
