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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8900

(02/28/2014) Lots of updates, including a fiberglass body.
“I’ve had this for a few years and I’ve had a lot of fun driving it! it a 1949 chassis and a fiberglass body.
its a great little rat rod if you like getting attention at car show or just driving around town.
the motor has a noise a valve maybe. I have driven it like that since I have had it. the seats are original jeep seats. last time I drove it to a local car show and parked close there was more people around it than any vehicle and kids love it!
PS As you can see I bend the water can, but it didn’t hurt anything else, it has three bolts holding it on. If I don’t sell it I’m going to order the original can holder and a new can that works, for around 75 dollars, thanks for looking!”
Needs brakes and new clutch.

Unusual paint job.

http://kokomo.craigslist.org/cto/5105271644.html
UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $6000.
(01/04/2014) This has some tool indents. It could be a VEC. It doesn’t run, but does have a rebuilt engine.
“1948 jeep willys cj2a $5,500 offers will be considered..completed with rebuilt motor,transmission, transfercase, new brakes, new tires, carburetor points.. body is in good shape,runs real good. Contact me at ”
This is a mix of parts.
“This Willys is a true survivor. The id number is a MB number, but is considered a 1947 by the DMV. The tub is a MB. The driver side has been smoothed over with bondo at some point, but the ribs for the tools can be seen on the inside. The window is post war as well as the M38 grille. The jeep will need to be seen. It needs tlc for sure but is a driver.
I have the window rubber, just no glass.
The engine is what I can best figure is a 1953 F-Head Hurricane engine. It has the generator, but is wound to a 12v system. It has Model A tail lights. It comes with a complete Willys-Overland Arctic Cover or hard top. They fit MB’s as well as M38’s.
The tires are too big, so I pulled off the rear, but the front still cause it to rumble a bit. When it sells I will be taking off the rear wheels and putting back on the big ones. You will need to put new rubber on unless you don’t mind the rumble and wobble they cause. ”
http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/5126578300.html
This body has an M-38A1 rear and maybe a 3A(?) cowl. It’s listed as a 46 in one location and a 43 in another.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1300.
Doesn’t have an engine.
“1948 Willys cj2a. Good condition, no engine $1300. Clean title.”
Here’s a nice looking 2A. The seller listed this elsewhere and was unsatisfied with the response. It sounds like he got a lot of people who just wanted to ride in it.
“Frame off restoration by owner with many new parts. NOS where possible. 6/8 volt. Civilian. Was a farm jeep so there are some dents in the bed. 4×4. High/Low gear box. 3 speed transmission. No PTO. 429xx miles on the odometer, but I cannot say it has never been replaced since I do not know that for sure.
Listing here on Craigslist for a more target audience. Had it listed on another site that had too many inquiries in too large an area for me to sort though and reply to.
If you were one of the many who inquired earlier please include the site you found it on so I know you are serious. Others, please do your homework on CJ2s so you know the basics about them. Asking questions where the answer is obvious is a sure tell sign you are not serious.
I don’t have time or the desire for showing just for the fun of it so make sure include enough info so I can determine how serious you are.”

Has some updates. Looks solid.
“I am selling my 1942 Willys CJ2A. One of the first Jeeps ever produced. The drive train and engine are in great shape, as well as the axles and driveline. The motor is a 3.8L buick V6 that i just tuned up and registered for road use. It has nice hi-back seats, working gauge cluster, padded roll bar, windshield wipers, fold out and down windshield, dual exhaust, Warn M8000 12volt winch, updated front and rear axles, updated suspension and lift, jerry can and spare tire rack on the back, optima yellow top battery, overdrive installed, tires are 7.00-15 LT.
