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 $4000
(03/24/2015) Runs and drives.
“I BOUGHT THIS WILLYS A FEW MONTHS AGO AS A PROJECT. MY JOB HAS CHANGED NOW I AM ON THE ROAD ALL THE TIME. THE JEEP RUNS DRIVES AND LOOKS GOOD IT NEEDS TO BE DRIVEN AS IS OR RESTORED TO ITS GLORY DAYS. I AM JUST LOOKING TO GET WHAT I PAID FOR IT 4000.00. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
All three look rough.

I have an old Willy’s jeep CJ2A I need to sell. Been in a barn over 20 years till the barn blew down. It does not run and cannot find title but it is a solid jeep for its age.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700.
Could use some new seats!
“Selling my 1946 Willys CJ2A. Definitely not the prettiest cj you’ve seen, but she’s a beast! Runs and drives. 4 cylinder, flat head Motor has been rebuilt at some point, but i’m not able to verify how long ago. Fresh oil and coolant.
Converted to 12 volts. Rear offset dana 44. Also has rear seat included
New battery. I’ll be replacing the Regulator and Ignition tomorrow. I’ll also be rebuilding the carb as well, because it has a hard time idling.
I also have 4 extra original CJ2 wheels (15×6), as well as 2 spare tire mounts. I will also include a tow bar.
Transmission shifts good. No grinding or popping out. 4×4 works.
Obviously, this jeep needs some body work, as you can see in the pics. Some cancer spots, and places where bondo is chipping off from an old restoration. But this jeep is VERY restorable, and will be worth plenty of money after body work and some tlc.
Title in hand. have the license plate for it as well.
$2700 or best REASONABLE OFFER. no trades. Cash speaks.
Call or text the number in the reply section.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
Unusual rear bumper. Are those rings hold it to the jeep?
“Civilian model, original 134L, 4 cylinder, 4 Wheel drive, 3 speed, high/low range, 12 volt conversion. Runs and drives great, lots of extras…hard top and doors, rear seat,and tow bar with lights. she has 5:13 gears so 45 mph is the top speed, but it will climb a wall! Lots of fun with the windshield down!!!”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $2500.
At the very least needs a fuel line.
“I have a 1946 willys jeep for sale. It runs just needs a fuel line. I do have the roof and the doors that go with it. Great project car”
Looks like parts vehicles.
“This listing is for 2 Willy’s Jeeps. I know very little about these, I’ll do the best I can to field any questions.
We do not have titles for these vehicles. We are selling these as parts only and have no way to acquire a title. They were donated to our charity. We will of course provide a bill of sale. We had a mechanic do a once over on the one with the body off to the side and he said that it had good compression in 3 cylinders and low in the 4th cylinder. We also installed a new starter.
The oil looks great and was recently changed.
The other Jeep engine oil is milked, but appears in solid condition. LOTS more pictures here: http://www.v8s10.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=39657”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer
The seller lists this project at $4000, but notes he didn’t know how to price it. Obviously that’s a bit high, so he encourages offers.
“It is time to SAS my 4runner so I need to sell one project to fund the other project.
1946 Willys cj2a with clean California title in my name. It is current and is in non-op
It is essentially in stock form with the exception of a chevy 265 V8.

I have a ton of parts.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
(02/25/2015) Ian is selling his near complete jeep. It ran until he experience a problem with the starter. Ian includes lots of information about the jeep.
I have fallen into the classic trap of rebuilding old iron – I got deep into a project before finally realizing that I am not enjoying it. What I have is 95% of the way to being a totally awesome retro offroader – not the lifted V8 junk that most people do, but rather something that keeps the classic style of the Willys Jeep and improves its performance in sensible ways.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(10/30/2014) Seller believes this is all original, but the M-38 body suggests otherwise.
“1947 Willy”s Jeep universal ready to restore. It is all original except the four cylinder engine. It has a rebuilt pinto four cylinder engine. For the person that is looking for a rock climber, this one can be set up just for that purpose. It has the original transmission, transfer case, front and rear axles. It has fog lights, and a tow bar, with lock out hubs. It has been stored for the last seven years. Please no texting,”
John’s selling this Boyer Jeep. The jeep has less than 9,000 miles and was formerly a DNR wire jeep. I have the stainless steel racks that were on the jeep and the tailgate. I don’t have all the side mounted tool boxes. I also have all the canvas. Roof, doors and back. As for the knob on the front by the headlight it is hand throttle. I suspect it was used for the water pump that at one time was mounted on the front. This is why it does not have the proper front bumper I suspect.
You can email him at jrhackett42@yahoo.ca
UPDATE: **SOLD** Were $1800.
Only one jeep show in pics, but two mention in the text. The one in pics is a VEC with full floating hubs. The body is crap, but there might be some value underneath.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
(04/03/2015) It’s a Texas-like hunting jeep.
“Very solid ,clean, and good running Willys jeep. All original except seats. Back seat is quickly removable.”
For a project, it’s on the high side, but that body sure looks straight.

Not much value here.
“For Sale 1948 Willys/Jeep CJ-2A

It has been sitting for many years. Also will consider trades on 3 point hitch tractor equipment, box blade, bush hog, finish mower, . . . Or generators 5kw or larger, gas welders, small cars.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
Looks good for the price.
“This is the classic Willys CJ2A that represents the first year the CJ (Civilian Jeep) was introduced (after wartime production). It has been restored and runs beautifully. Not a bit of rust. All new wiring, all new brake system, rebuilt starter, rebuilt transfer case, all new gauges, all new 12V electrical parts (converted from original 6V by previous owner), new muffler, just about everything new. Odometer wasn’t working so not sure of mileage. Clean title. Needs some minor work including horn, windshield wiper motor and some other little things. It doesn’t have a top (there were no tops/doors back then except a bimini style). I don’t recommend this vehicle for young drivers since there are no seat belts or roll bar (also not invented then). This jeep is worth twice what I am asking.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Bill forwarded this ad. The sides have been reworked a bit, but it might run and drive well.
