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 .

It hasn’t been started in two years, but is supposed to run.
“This jeep has been in my family for at least 1/2 of its life as well as been garaged during this time. I’ve had it for @ 10 years and my Mom and step-dad had it at their lake house in Nebraska (always garaged, was used to put the boat & jet ski’s into the shore stations), we did joy-ride in the jeep around the lake property but it is not licensed or street legal as it has not been modified. Prior to my Mom & step-dad getting it from my step-dad’s uncle, I am not aware of how long my step-dad’s uncle (now deceased) had the jeep or if he was the original owner. The title only indicates the names of my step-dad’s uncle, my step-dad and now my name.
The tag under the hood on the body indicates the following:
Willy’s Body
CJ-2A 71042
Willys Overland Motors, Inc.
Loledo, OH USA
Kindly note that in the pics I removed the driver’s side seat and gas tank to show the condition of the body as apparently that is where rust through would take place in these jeeps. The jeep does run, however, has not been started for @ 2+ years. The front bumper also has the same VIN number as the body.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(09/07/2012) This may be a pretty stock jeep, but them boxes across the front sure don’t help.
“I have an original 1947 Jeep Willys CJ-2A for sale. It has been used as a hunting truck for its entire life. It has green paint, power take off (pto) winch, tow bar, mud terrain tires with a lot of tread left, heavy duty snow chains for the tires, and a heater for those cold mornings in the field. The only reason I am selling it, is it belongs to my great uncle and he doesn’t use it anymore because of his age. He has a stack of receipts and paper work for every repair/work done to it. This rig is completely original, right down to the 6v wiring.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.

(10/04/2012) This is supposed to have front and rear PTOs.
“1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A up for sale. It has been converted to a fully operational ranch truck with additional original components. This Jeep has the original, more rare and powerful inline six cylinder engine, 4wd (High/Low), and 2 P.TO. connections (front/rear). The front P.T.O. has a fully functioning Koenig 8,000 lb winch. It currently has a set of A/T 33 x 12.50 tires/wheelset mounted, but the original wheels + spare (5 rims in the original farm red) are included. The jeep has the Willys hood and folding windshield. Mechanically it is pretty much stock with the original motor and transmission, however a Suzuki Samurai steering column was installed as well as a Mico air-lock parking brake (great for winching). Also included are a set of doors, hard top (not matching this jeep/painted) and soft top if you wanted to do a real classic restoration.
I used it on my property for one season, then I took a travelling job so it sat for 7 months. Will be back traveling again and I don’t want it to sit collecting cob webs and dust, she should be used! At one point it was street legal/CA plated, but not anymore. It has a tow bar mounted to the front so trailering it home is not required.
Come take this baby home and own a piece of History. Keep using it as a multi-purpose ranch truck or convert and restore it back into an amazing classic. I can deliver if necessary, depending on mileage and final selling price. Asking $5000 O.B.O and needs to be sold by Oct. 17th. Please call (or text) 925 seven 8 four 5 one 5 zero with any questions you may have. Looking forward to hearing from you and releasing her to a good home”

It has no title, but it does have a great service bumper.
“I haven’t had time to work on it so keeping it In my garage is useless. I put a rebuilt carb, new starter and seats in it. It ran before I started digging into it but a little elbow grease will get it going. I bought it 3 years ago this summer but the other owner couldn’t find the title so it still has no title. Call or text 17347320416. Ben is the name”

UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
There is an item I can’t identify on the floor in front of the transmission shifter. Is that some type of heater?
“1948 WILLYS JEEP RUNS GOOD. GOOD TRANSMISSION. I DON’T HAVE MUCH HISTORY ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN LOTS OF PHOTOS SO PLEASE CHECK THEM OUT.”
The engine runs.
“Selling a cj2a that’s between 1946-48 with a homemade tub and a 1948 2a complete body. The replacement body is original, has vin, with the correct tub, windshield, good front end and hood. Has floorboard and hat channel rot under the driver and passenger. Rear floor solid. Has the top’s bow pocket brackets except for one. Lots of extra parts between these two bodies. Will not separate, must take the whole lot. The jeep with the motor will fire up, sounded pretty good, but it has no gas tank and a busted radiator, so we couldn’t keep it running long. It has all the running gear, though the brakes aren’t working. Have two sets of gauges and headlight buckets. No title. Both hoods stamped Willys. Both windshields stamped Willys. Toolbox under seat has correct Jeep script. Both dashes in good shape. Tailgate on replacement body has Willys stamp. 15 inch wheels.
