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 $700.
Tires and wheel have been sold already, so it may be sitting on blocks?
“This is whats left of a 1948 Willys Jeep Model CJ2A. It runs (with a jump) as well as shift, all gears, high & low, front axle in & out. It has no brakes. The body is in very poor condition although the windsheild frame is salvagable. I put a rebuild carburator and head gasket on it to get it running. It has no tags, therefore, no papers. Unless you’re really motivated,”
UPDATE: Was Make Offer. **SOLD**
Listed as a 1946, it has a CJ-3B body.

UPDATE: Was $9500. **SOLD**
It could be the pics, but the underside doesn’t look like it’s been completely rebuilt and painted. Looks solid.
“RARE SECOND OWNER 1947 WILLYS JEEP. I BOUGHT THIS IN 1996 FROM THE RANCHER’S FAMILY WHO BOUGHT IT NEW IN GEYSERVILLE.

Both are pretty rough.
“2 willys jeeps, 1 complete other for parts. Neither jeep runs. Package deal. Please no emails call only.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
(03/13/2012) This isn’t 4wd, but it looks like it has a good body and rollcage. This appears to have a mb or gpw body.
“late 40s steel body willys jeep. set up for sbc and turbo 350, has dana 44 with limited slip diff and 410 gear, straight axel front end and leafs all around.. needs eng, trans, wiring, seats, and paint… good starter project $1200 ”

tan willis is fixable black only good for parts. Make Offer have more pictures if
you wish to see them just text me at the number below”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
(04/20/2012) For the price might not be bad.
“1948 Willys CJ2A
original style L134 head “Go Devil” 4cyl engine
15” alum wheels
31×10.50×15 BFG Mud Terrains
hi back cloth seats
power steering
roll cage
not all original but does run and drive
has a windshiled now
rear has been filled in like the Military versions (no tail gate)
Rear axle has been rebuilt, new fuel pump, rotor button, valves adjusted
$2500 OBO”
UPDATE: These parts were donated to a church for sale by the church. They have been sold. They were $900.
The fact that this body has a drain hole by the step, but no gas inlet is a little puzzling. It has full floaters in the rear, but also has a tail gate. The windshield is CJ-2A. The hood and fenders are civilian, while the grille is ww2. This appears to be a mutt of a jeep to me.
“1941 Jeep Willys… The world war two 4×4 original ! Engine was rebuilt less than 500 miles ago and have documentation for rebuild…
It is a very cool ride to have. Had it sitting for a few years in storage( inside)
It has an electric fuel pump but still has all original equipment too.
Runs good and needs to be registered if you plan on driving on the street…
It has the original Tire setup also….. a true piece of history you can drive and show off.
Paint is worn a bit but virtually no rust….
Ive posted pics for you to see, havent even washed it ! lol It has a TOW bar so you can pull behind RV or Truck…
Needs a battery and thats all !
Only serious buyers ! no Low-ballers….. remember, this is a piece of American History”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
This needs a motor.
“Up for sale is my super cool 1947 Willys CJ2A. First off, it does need an engine and is currently not running, but won’t be too expensive to get it going. It’s got a Chevy 350 V8 with a SM420 4 spd manual transmission with granny gear. Dana 20 transfer case, Dana 44 rear diff with welded spiders and stock front diff. Has new Warn hubs on all 4 wheels for flat tow and includes a tow bar. Tub and floor is coated with Truck bed coating. Tires are brand new 33x1250x15 Mastercraft Courser M/T mudders and have maybe 200 miles on them if even that much. Chevy 350 engines are easy to find and can usually be bought in running condition for $500 or less. This Willys has a fiberglass hood, but I also have 2 original steel hoods for an extra $200. Has electric fuel pump, new tailgate, good windshield. I’ve even done the body work and shot it in primer. I never did shoot paint on it becasue I thought it looked cool in primer. Has brand new racing seats mounted on steel brackets. This is a cool rig and has been lots of fun for me but I need to make room for other projects. If interested, give me a call or email me through Craigslist. Please don’t bother me with spam or trying to scam me. I won’t fall for that crap. I would consider offers and am willing to sell without the new tires and wheels for $1600. Not willing to part this rig out. I may consider trades, just let me know what you have. Please don’t offer me junk.”
This doesn’t run.

This looks pretty solid.

Rob forwarded me the jeep below. It’s an odd melding of a CJ-2A and a Wagon. I’d love to get a closer look to see how various problems were solved.
This jeep is one of several jeeps in different conditions being auctioned, though nothing is in amazing condition. Tools and other vehicles will also be auctioned, including a deuce and a half that looks to me (not being an expert) in very good condition.
The auction takes place on June 16th, 2012, at a place tbd. You can learn more about the auction by Fenbert Auction Services and see the other vehicles at here.
Here’s the oddball CJ-2A/Panel Wagon hybrid:

UPDATE: Was $2000. Status Unknown
Plenty of surface rust. Ok, Im not sure why, but that hardtop has a bit of an alien feel to me. Maybe it has just settled funny on the ground or something.
“47 willys was running about 3 years ago, comes with a hard top. $2000 cash,”
