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 .
Needs an air clear, but looks solid otherwise.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9999

– 4 x 4
– 3 speed manual transmission

Maybe some value??
“I have for sale a 1948 jeep. It’s been sitting in a barn for 15-20 years so it is a project. Or would be great for parts. It has 129,997 original miles. It ran before being put away. Has a rare hardtop. Typical rust such as floorboards and rockers. Would make a great farm truck or something to restore for parades.
Asking $800 HAS A TITLE!
Can haul within reason”

“Selling my ’46 Willys CJ2A. Runs and drives, has no brakes….at all. Carb was just rebuilt with a master rebuild kit so not just the gaskets and float but the jets and nozzles too. Will need a new tub more than likely and about a foot or so worth of frame reinforcement on the right rear side. Not in a rush to sell but would rather have my girlfriend’s car in the garage over the winter and not dump every red cent of mine into this thing at the moment. Has original seat frames and is all numbers matching.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
(11/07/2015) “Up for sale is a ’48 Jeep Willys. It’s in fair condition, could definitely use a little TLC. Originally bought as a resto project for myself but I no longer have the time Lethe funds. My loss is your gain.
$1500 Or Best Offer. Im open to entertaining offers, no reasonable offer will be turned down.”
Marty checked out this jeep yesterday. He was most curious about the hardtop and got a bunch of photos of it for us. He believes the hardtop was a custom creation, but well done. The curves and drain edge are a nice touch, too. As for the CJ-2A, there’s not much left. The seller believes there is plenty of value, but Marty smartly disagreed.
” I have a 1942 Willys Jeep civilian four-wheel-drive that is pretty rough looking on the outside but everything is there motor tranny running gear everything complete with a set of extra leaf springs all four an extra radiator add an extra gas tank all stock all original I’ve done some checking on the Jeep Willys and I know what it’s worth in the condition that exam no reasonable offer will be refused please come look I need to get them out of here”

“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A. This is an all original Willys Flat Fender Jeep. It has an original flat head four cylinder engine. It is a great little Jeep that has been fun to drive. It has the original gearing in the axles, so it tops out at 45-50 mph, but it does great on the trails. It has a clear AZ title. I can have more pictures on request. I’m asking $2500.00 OBO. I can deliver it for mileage compensation.
It’s too old for a car history report, so don’t ask for one. It’s a 67 year old piece of history. It doesn’t have a top, and no heater. For an additional $1000 I’ll throw in a second mostly complete flat fender for parts. I have titles for both.”

Nick’s got these CJ-2A parts jeep for sale.
“This is a ran when parked 1948 CJ2A Willys Jeep… 30 years ago. My buddy and I got this in a package deal for a Jeep we’re restoring. It looks to be an old school doodlebug. I have a clear title in hand. Rims are ‘believed’ to be original 16” Kelsey Hayes, I’m no rim expert but a few of us think they are after comparing pictures. Also the bellhousing is either very early CJ or military, you can see how the linkage goes inside rather than the clutch fork sticking out like the later models. Feel free to call/text me any time of day and if I don’t answer I’ll get back shortly. We have forklifts to get it right on your trailer.”

It’s got a couple patches in the back of the body.
“Obviously, any 69 year old vehicle is a head-turner. This one does that and more. Your brain triggers, and suddenly your back in the armed forces or perhaps on your grandfathers farm. Or maybe your sitting in that sand pile with a toy jeep in one hand and GI Joe in the other.
I,ve owned this Willys for 4 years here in Massachusetts. I bought it in Georgia and had it shipped here. Its history starts from a Willys Jeep showroom in Chicago, to a farm outside the city. 1946 was the first year a civilian could purchase direct from a showroom, all before were strickly military vehicles. Available only thru military surplus outlets. From the Chicago farm it went to a “gentleman’s” farm in Georgia. This family used it for hunting deer and other animals for many years. Since bringing it here to Massachusetts, the first year, it was a daily driver to the coffee shop, then it sat as I was out of the country for 2 years. This past year, I’ve had the transmission, clutch and transfer case overhauled. I’m leaving again and want someone else to enjoy and love it as I’m not sure of when I may return.
Not shown in the pictures, but does come with it….side doors matching the roof and a “V” tow attachment for the front. Any normal pick-up can pull it with a normal trailer hitch.
Lots more to say, if your serious, email me your number for me to call or sit and write me what your concerns are.”
