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 $7000.
(03/21/2013) This is a solid looking CJ-2A jeep.
“1946 CJ2A willys jeep rare 3 speed collum shift, runs and drives great, solid body all around, clean title comes with a parts jeep. it can also come with a hard top and doors if interested.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“Original 1947 model New Mexico Willys Jeep CJ 2A . It has a 3 speed floor shift standard transmission and original flathead 4 cylinder engine. All lights work as they should as well as do the original gauges. Mileage showing 42157 however the speedometer cable was broken at the time I purchased it. Therefore I cannot know actual miles on vehicle. Color-Dark Green and not the original paint. Other non original items include, new seats, new gas tank installed approximately 10 years ago, as well as the 15 inch wagon spoke wheels. The original 6 volt battery and generator system has been updated to a 12 volt battery with an alternator. This is a major improvement for faster more reliable engine starts. The original element style oil filter has been replaced for a more efficient screw on style of filter. The jeep has been kept in my barn for the past 35 years with very little use. The jeeps starts and drives very well. Cons- The jeep does have the usual oil drips of a vehicle the era. It will also jump out of second gear as it gears down ( not in the powering up motion) which I understand in not unusual for this particular model.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $3000
This needs some work, but looks very solid.
“1948 Willy’s Jeep, CJ-2
needs transmission work and seats recovered. A little tlc needed, 90% restored.
Top and doors would come with the deal.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
It’s a project. Looks like there is value here. It includes a warn overdrive.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $650
There may be value here.
“This is a mostly complete CJ2a. The drivetrain is there, but the body is rough. It is not in running condition. There is rust in the body. This could be the start of a new project, or used for parts. I do not have the title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
This is an incomplete project with a mix of parts.
“I have cj2a that I was building,but I have to many projects to finish this one. It is a cj2a body mounted to a m38a1 frame. The frame is straight and crack free plus has been sand blasted and in primer. The body is in good shape for its age and new floor pans started; just need to finish welding in. It is sitting on dana 30 with disc brakes and rear dana 44. I have no motor transmission or transfer case. Plans where to put a chevy motor in it. Open to trades for 4×4 truck or suv.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800.
This is a project/parts jeep. The roll cage is unusual.
“Entire Jeep – 2800 .. Has a running 289 (I was told).. trans is bad… Complete with hood and grill… Has non op reg.. current title… ready to go… so no back fees…
Roll bar … Very Unique – Chrome some if it is peeling.. but its straight….. Cool shape.. 150 obo

UPDATE: *SOLD** Was $3800.
(03/23/2013) The price on this looks good. The body looks like a CJ-2A/3A rather than a ’44’. The windshield appears to be a 3A rather than a 3B.
“My wife and I are getting rid of our beloved CJ-2A Willy’s Jeep. We have had this rig for around 10 years and have done a great deal to it. It still needs some minor work as all restoration go, but baby runs good and catches the eye. We have had it in the Ocean Fest Parade many times and we take it on rides to the beach, dunes and the hills. Never hot rodded and adult owned. It has the F-134 4 cylinder, new carb, water pump, head gasket, clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing, master cylinder, exhaust, brakes, bench seat for two extra passengers, roll bar, bikini top, spare tire, 5 gallon Jerry Gas Can, new gauges, new fuel tank, electric fuel pump, CB radio, and more stuff. The body was removed, most rust removed or treated, body was undercoated, frame was wire brushed down, treated with good quality rust kill, primed and undercoated. Paint is a Fountain Green with metal flake. several repairs on the body was done, but not perfect. We did it this way so we could use it and not just for parades or shows. We have 3 Border Collies and they love the ride. The engine is from a 50’s Willy’s. The tub is a “44” and the windshield is off a CJ 3B. Many Jeeper folks do that due to the look. We have a windshield frame that comes from the 40’s and the rig also comes with an extra Tranny with Transfer case and other extra parts that was on it originally. It also has a tow bar, magnetic lights for towing and small brush guard, mainly for the tow bar to secure it to when driving the jeep.
My wife loves “Smokey the Bear” and that’s what we put on it.
You can contact me at : willysdude47@hotmail.com When you do, put “Willy’s” in the subject box and I’ll know you’re real. Anything else will be considered spam and dumped where it belongs. Take care.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Some imperfections? There are a variety of dings and dents.

It takes most people years to find a rust free Willys to start their restoration project, combine that with its original trailer!?! This is an amazing find!!
