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: Still available.
(09/16/2022) Unclear how much value is here. The driver’s side front spring near the rear shackle was somehow badly damaged. I’d say there are a few more items missing than just the windshield and brake lever ….

“Willys-Jeep CJ-2A, only missing windshield and emergency brake lever. Has all the hard to find parts. This is the 7 slot grille civilian model. Serious inquiries only”
This has a replacement body. The package includes a trailer. The grille has either been replaced with an earlier grille, or this is an earlier jeep. Note the rear floating hubs, too.

I haven’t heard much about the Mercury engines, but the reports are the 1980 versions can produce some pretty good horsepower?

(11/16/2022) My guess based solely on windshields is that one is a 2A and one a 3A. Unclear where the 1957 and 1958 dates originate, unless the chassis of each is later.

(08/06/2022) This combo package includes a CJ-2A, boat and trailer. I have no idea what the value of the boat and trailer would be. It has a Porter & Reed hardtop.
“Here is the ultimate travelers package. Jeep, boat, and trailer. The Jeep is in good condition and is great for any outdoor enthusiast. The Jeep is a 1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A. The mileage is unknown. Facebook wanted a number so we we made something up. The boat is a 12’ 1962 Montgomery Wards Sea King Jon Boat. The motor is a 1942 Montgomery Wards 3.5 HP. The boat comes with the trailer.

“Up for sale all original 1946 Willys CJ2A. Runs and drives super smooth. Recently work done on all oils replaced, transmission gasket changed etc. Very powerful torque, easily goes 45 mph, it could go 55 mph but didnt try it. I restored it partially after getting from a ranch sale last year it was used on the farm and around town as a work horse. Great original patina and sound. 4 WD works nice as well. I wouldnt change anything on this beauty. Electrical bulbs might need to replaced, thats all.”
Has a few mods, but could be a good price.

“This Willys was handed down to me by my father so I know its past 65 years of history. We did a frame off mini restoration 2 years ago and at that time I powder coated almost every inch of it. There is zero rust anywhere which is easy to verify due to the powder coating. I replaced the suspension, fuel lines and all electrical. Since I was doing the electrical I went ahead and put in the switch box and off road lights plus wench. This engine is in excellent condition and has never (not started up) even after sitting for years at a time. It will need wheels and tires and several things leak fluids as expected from a 75 year old vehicle. But nothing major. This price is firm and I do not “Need” to sell this thing so no low balls. It will also be out in the front of the house for my garage sell this weekend if you want to come by and see it.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6000. Possible DJ-3A body or replacement body?

I suspect this has a replacement body. The dash lacks typical holes and stamps.

“1945 Willy’s CJ2a (first year of cj) 39,000 original miles on original flathead four-cylinder. Original oil bath, air cleaner and all.  Runs, but will need a carb rebuild kit due to leaky seals. And brake work. this is number 1505 of 1824 on the first production run. There are a few small spot where rust is bubbling the paint job which was done in the late 70s. I have a white top and doors in good condition. Great candidate for restoration or just enjoy it as it is. this was a barn find purchase. Where it had been sitting since 1984.”
