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 .
Looks like a fun rig.

The good: Drivetrain is rock solid. Engine smooth with no knocking, ticking or smoking. 4WD high and low good. Transmission good.
The bad: Well, look at it
Classic barn find. Has never been on the road, has never had a plate. Was sold back in the day as a farm implement and then spent a lot of its life at a cabin in Wisconsin. I have the title from 1979 and my Indiana title all clear and normal.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2750.
Looks like a good price.
1947 Willys CJ 2A. Runs and drives good, has original L-head engine. 4×4 drive train works well. I have owned the jeep for the last 16 years and in the last year replaced the head gasket and installed a new master cylinder. Brakes work but wheel cylinders need some attention. Has 6 volt system and needs a battery. Title and registration current.”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $6500
(08/21/2014) “Have a 1948 for sale, she is very pretty and has original 4cyl engine. I could rattle on but the pics should be the best way to advertise her. Have a soft top as well. Fact is I would really like the Willys to find a good home, just don’t have garage space for her. Don’t have room to keep this anymore, price is negotiable. Any questions drop me an email.”
http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/cto/5619241445.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500. See Glenn’s comment about the unusual rear PTO gearbox on this.
“We are selling a 1948 Jeep CJ2A. It was converted to 12 volt years ago but the gauges were never switched so they do not function. It has a power take off unit out of the rear. Other than that, it is stock. It has rust over several areas, though none are severe. There is no top for it anymore but the windshield is still fine.
It has a new carburetor, new brake lines and new brake pads. The gas tank is out of it but has been cleaned and the welds tidied up. The engine is a 4 cylinder, and has always performed perfectly in my life time, though it has not been started for the past 5 years since the fuel system has been apart. The tires look to be original so I do not know how much longer they might last.
There is one original seat frame but no cushion and two new boat seats that will easily bolt to the body.
The vehicle was purchased by my grandfather in the 1960’s and used as both a commuter vehicle for several years and then as a farm vehicle after that.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3900.
Never heard the term “T-block”
“1947 Willys CJ2A (Civilian Jeep Model 2A) it has the original style 4 cylinder engine (I think it is called a T block)
– grandpas jeep been owned for well over 35 years in family
– steering assembly upgraded and a new clutch.
– steering gear is new
– engine had new valves and rings a few years back (but not very many miles given use)
– clutch also replaced a few years back (again not that many miles)
– barn stored (better than outside).
– less than 200 miles per year have been put on this jeep (its a vehicle that is stored mostly at a second home)
– pink slip in hand
– mileage not exactly known as odometer is not working.
– runs well but needs a bit of TLC (there is an oil lease but its a jeep from the 40s go figure)
Strong running engine .. but it sits for most the year outside of its 200 miles every year. . will make a great restoration project for someone!”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $7400.
Cody did some research on the “Desert Troop” group. The founder was Bud Adair, who later ran for office. The group was founded in 1972.
I wonder if that hood design was painted in the early 1970s. Could have been.

Greg’s got the CJ-2A for sale.
“For Sale is a 1946 Willys Cj2A with 52K original miles. It has the original 134 Cubic Inch inline 4cylinder engine, T90A 3 Speed transmission with rare column shift, Spicer 18 transfer case and Dana axles. It is 4X4 with high and low gear that work as intended. The carburetor was just rebuilt and it runs great with good clutch and brakes, the parking brake works as well. The water pump, the fuel tank and the fuel pump were just replaced. All lighting, gauges, turn signals and horn work as they should. This vehicle also has the rare heater box under the dash. This vehicle was a barn find and has just been recently repainted with olive drab green paint as you can see in the pics. It has less than expected rust for a vehicle of its age and has a very solid frame. The seats were also redone. The Jeep was recently displayed in a local car show and received numerous compliments. It is fun to drive or show. I will entertain any REASONABLE offer.”

“Purchased this ‘lil Jeep several years ago and shipped it from Washington state to upstate NY. Have loved it ever since. Hate to sell this and my other Jeep listed, but am planning a move and can’t take all my toys with me. This Jeep has been built by/with some of the best names in Off-Road engineering, such as Advance Adapters, Novack Enterprises, Walck’s 4WD and Olympic 4WD (have all reciepts). Comes with a lot of spare parts, etc. if interested.
Interesting wiring strategy along the frame. I wonder how that will work out.

Has a fiberglass body.
http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/cto/5610304007.html
“’47 Willys CJ2A for sale. Restored by the previous owner, this Jeep is a nice little runabout with some flair. I bought it from a Navy man who painted it in the livery of the ship on which he served and used it at one of their reunions for rides and a photo shoot. If you are not into naval history, the markings are all vinyl and could be peeled off. The frame was stripped and blasted, then treated with a preservative paint for auto frames. The fiberglass body is, of course, impervious to rust, but the tailgate and grill are original. The Jeep has a newer BesTop, made in the USA. The tires were new Firestones installed with the resto and now have less than 600 miles on them.
