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 .
This looks in good shape.
“CJ-2 Jeep Willys

Given the price this might be worth a look.
“Upgrades include: Newer F-head engine, Warn overdrive, 2″ spring under lift, Saginaw steering box, new carburetor. Runs, drives, stops. Has good tires. Needs to be wired. Body is in fair condition. Has Bestop Tiger Top soft top. Price is firm. No trades.”

(05/27/2012) Those are some Yabba Dabba Doo floorboards.
“I will part this out or sell it hole make offer or it will be going to junk yard soon.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2750
(04/07/2012) This is a project.
“Considering 66 years have passed since this CJ2a came off the line it is in nice shape. Why would you buy a Rhino or gator for your ranch when you could drive a piece of history, this is the first civilian jeep very much like the one our grandfathers won WWII in. Drive Train runs strong, has a slightly later F head engine with a side draft carb instead of a hole in the hood, brakes have been rebuilt, new carb. The front clip is nearly perfect, the tub has some welded in patches and needs some attention. I think the steering box is missing a tooth and the wiring could be redone, but otherwise it is pretty much complete.”
UPDATE: Sold. Was on eBay.
John pointed this out. It includes a video.
“A rare, working, 1952 Willys Jeep CJ2A with an Auburn Jeep-A-Trench trencher. It will dig a trench 6″ wide and 46″ maximum depth. The trencher was made in Auburn, Nebraska by a company that is still in existence today. I have used this trencher 3-4 times a year for the past 6 years. It has been kept in a barn, each time I just put battery in it and it is ready to go. I have used it for installing water lines, electrical lines, drainage tile and rain water downspouts. It was previously owned by a local plumber. It is simple to use and once digging is started you just stand back and watch it work. It runs great and has not overheated in our hot and humid Kansas summers. Brakes are soft and steering is stiff but you’re really not going to drive it any distance anyway. It is self propelled via creeper gears and the digging outrigger can be raised and lowered via an electric motor. All of the standard Jeep CJ2A features are still retained. It was converted to 12 volt then the trencher unit was added at the factory along with a Governor to regulate engine speed, a PTO unit, an additional drive shaft, heavy springs and frame stiffeners. Exact mileage unknown, but it can’t be to high because the trencher has been on it since day one. Comes with spare parts including extra trencher teeth and chain links and owner guide. Have a clear title. Sold AS IS, no warranty. Also for sale locally. I will not deliver. If you arrange shipping I will assist with loading. Deposit payment of $500 via PayPal within 24 hours of auction ending. Balance of payment will be cashiers check or cash. Cashiers check must clear to be paid in full prior to shipping or removal from sellers location.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1100.
This runs and drives.
“1946 Willys Jeep. Buick V6 motor. Starts and goes!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000
There are a variety of holes in the windshield, so you’ll want to patch those before driving in the rain.
“1948 Willy 2As Jeep. The first civilian jeep model. Used originally as a farm vehicle. This jeep runs great and is in very good condition. Rebuilt and mostly original. Original flat head four cylinder engine. A blast to drive.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $25,000
“1948 willys cj 2a jeep. Original. Perfect! $25000 firm. Serious inquiries only.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Those are some meaty ties. It must make a rough ride.
“1947 cj2a complete , not running but will with a little work , $100 worth of literature , dana 44 rear , warn hubs, converted to 12 volt 3000 obo”
This runs. I wonder if all the shell casings in the driver’s side is included?
“This is a running jeep and can be driven but smokes and has rust on on the floors. It would be a great project and yes it does have a pinkslip , but has not been regesterd in MANY years and doesnt not appear in the DMV system therefore it will not be hard to register.
Let me know WHAT YOU HAVE to trade before asking questions. Call me, text me, e-mail me, smoke signals, or messenger doves, WHATEVER ! 310 819-7838 Ed, dirtrock310@gmail.com”

I’m not sure if these are $1500 each or $1500 for both. Only one pic of the CJ-2A and it doesn’t show much.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $700
(05/20/2012) It runs …
“This is a 1948 Willys Jeep, model CJ2A. It does run with a jump start, shift and move, but it does not stop. I put a new fuel pump and a rebuilt carburator on it to get it running. It has no tags, therefore it has no papers. Good for parts. The body is in poor condition. You will need to bring wheels and tires because the wheels on it are already called for.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(06/19/2012) This appears solid, but still needs work.

“TRADE I have a 1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep. This vehicle has been used in numerous car and Jeep shows. It is drivable and is in excellent running condition. This Jeep has a front tow bar, so it can be flat towed. It is 90% original, other than some added on diamond plating and a half top roof. This vehicle is one of the Jeeps that is in the Guiness Book of World Records for being part of the World’s largest Jeep only parade in Butler, PA 2011 (Certificate of authinticity is available).
I am looking to trade for a inspected and running Jeep Wrangler (prefer automatic transmission, 4 or 6 cylinder) of equal value.
I am looking for a “daily-driver” now instead of an occasional “summer-drive show” vehicle.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(05/17/2012) This doesn’t run; it probably needs a fuel pump. This appears to have a MB body.

This appears pretty stock. It will probably restore pretty nicely.
“Serial number is 35945. Odometer shows 36,262 miles and I am told that this is original mileage. Has been garaged for many years. All original. Clear title. Used to tool around the mountains of Southwestern Colorado. Good running condition. Four wheel drive works well in both high and low range. Since it has been in Colorado all its life, no rust problems. Has been repainted.
After it came out of storage, I had the following repairs done to it to return it to a safe driving condition;
Good tires, also has three other tires and wheels. Has two sets of doors with hardware. One set is original. Has the back cover. Comes with owners manual, mechanics manual and two boxes of extra parts. Has Warn locking hubs.
A true classic that has not been messed with or altered !”
