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 .
Roger Martin spotted this 2A. It looks like a good price.

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.

“1947 Willy’s jeep! It has the original drivetrain in it. Flathead 4 cylinder with a manual transmission and t-case. It ran great until it spun a main bearing last spring so it doesn’t run now and I don’t have the time to get it there at the moment. I don’t need to sell it but would rather have someone fix it then it just sit. It comes with an extra hood, grill, bed extension, half cab, transfer case, one spare wheel, and some other parts like a front bumper.
I’m asking $3,000 and have a clean clear title in hand.”

This jeep has some interesting history. The hardtop looks to be a Kelly 23 series.

“Ser# 69677. speedometer shows 99,537 (???). Runs well, no significant rust or body damage. Best offer, would consider trade for vintage project.”
I thought I’d previously listed this one? It’s got a custom tub.

“Original 4 cylinder engine, tranny, transfer case and axles. Has a winch, tire and fuel rack and all 3 seats. Top and doors are in good condition and the heater will sweat you out. Runs great for a 1948. Rebuilt carb, new distributor and coil, new radiator, electric fan and electronic fuel pump. Mileage is an unknown This Jeep has manual steering and no lift, about as stock as you can find one nowadays. Has numerous spare parts and a towbar. Have too many kids and can’t fit all of us to go play outdoors”
Listen as a 1946, this looks more like a CJ-3B. However, if you look closely under the midsection of the first photo, it appears the transmission crossmember is slightly visible. I think you only would see that if it were a 2A setup. So, my guess is this is a 3B body on a 2A chassis. Also note that it lacks front frame rails, but there has been some work of some kind on them as well.
