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
(11/04/2012) I’d like to see more pics of this. I wonder if it has VEC touches, too.
“Complete frame off restoration of a late 1945 early 1946 CJ2A. All matching numbers. Original engine.
6 volt system. 5 new original tires, tow bar, Bestop Tiger Top. Will consider trade for vehicle of equal
value.”
This has no title. I’m unclear why the gas inlet was modified. Note the header runs through part of the step area.
“This is a down to frame restoration, we kept everything as original as we could, repairing and restoring parts rather than purchasing new Chinese replacements. The wheels and tires of course are not original nor the bucket seats and headers. High and low range 4×4 work, the transmission we took completely apart and restored but 3rd gear slips out occasionally going down hill, a simple fix but I need to move on. I have some seat attachments and floor plates that need installed and I have a muffler for it, I just think it sounds better without it. You’ll need floor mats if you want them and the back seat This Jeep is completely road legal but I wouldn’t recommend pavement unless you put the original tires and wheels back on.”

UPDATE: Was $2500. **SOLD**
This might be a pretty stock jeep.
“My husband recently passed away of cancer and I need to sell this this 1948 Willy’s Jeep ASAP. I am asking 2500.00 OBO. It does great plowing snow as well as grading roads and making them smooth. It does burn a little oil If you are interested in taking this little jeep home”

(10/19/2012) This may be worth a look. I love the looks of those Ford Flathead motors.
“I have a 1948 Willys CJ-2a that is in decent condition. The body is pretty sound, there are a few rusty spots here and there. The main area of concern is a few spots in the front toeboards. If you have the capability to weld, these repairs should be no big deal. Overall this Jeep is very fixable. The master cylinder and slave cylinder need to be rebuilt, and this thing could be drivable.
Someone retrofitted a late model Ford flathead v-8 motor into this thing many years ago. The motor runs excellent, and has 50 pounds of oil pressure. Clear title to the Willys. I can’t tell you anything more than what I wrote here, you’re going to have to assess the vehicle with your own two eyes in person.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
(11/15/2012) The step has been redone and this is missing a few details.
“1946 Willys Jeep Asking $5,000”

There may be some value here. According to a reader, “It was owned by his grandfather and left outside. Tub is gone but he doesn’t state how gone. A new front floor plan my be all it needs. Don’t know if it is locked up or not. No title.”

The price looks good. The pics are very small.
“I have 2 Willy’s jeep’s for sale. One is a ’42 which does not run but can be used for parts or as a project. It has all the running gear, front and rear axle, tranny and t-case, both drive lines, i do not have title for this jeep. The other jeep is a ’46 this jeep run’s i converted it to the 12 volt system with a new alternator, battery, coil, and resistor. It has new plugs, and wires, new clutch, throw out bearing, pilot bearing, pressure plate and re-surfaced fly wheel. It also has a new steel fuel tank and tie down strap, new 12 volt headlights, wiring, ignition switch and headlight switch.

This looks like a clean build. The front springs are reversed. The rears might be outboarded, but I can’t tell for sure.
“New Fiberglass body, Nice Paint, 4.3 Vortech motor, brand new top, Has bedliner flooring, Cage, This is a super clean Jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
It runs and drives. The sides have probably been patched a little.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Still needs work.
“Selling a 1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A. This Jeep has been partially restored but still needs some wiring done, a windshield replaced, fuel tank cleaned and repaired, tires, and misc. The engine was running recently but has been sitting. It will turn over. I have not tried to start it. Most of the parts are there. The brakes are not working and may just need fluid. The origional wiring is still in place for the most part. The front floor is made from fiberglass and is strong and has been covered with carpet. There are some rust spots in a couple places but the frame appears to be solid. This vehicle was made 65 years ago and I can,t guarantee that all the parts are in perfect condition. I’m selling The Jeep “as is” with no promises. The running gear seems to be in good condition and rolls freely. It’s a good start on a nice little vintage 4X4 Jeep that could make your summer or winter much more fun. ”

(08/15/2012) Take a close look at the pics of this. It’s unusual. I like the body work on the hood which more tightly fits the old mb/gpw grille. It appears to be a CJ-3B body. I’ll bet completed this might look good.
