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 $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.

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.

(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 !”

UPDATE: Still Available
(04/11/2012) This might make a nice stock build candidate.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Both are projects.
“Two 1947 CJ2A Jeeps. These jeeps are unfinished projects. First jeep has a 283 Chevy, 350 Turbo Trans, Disk Brakes, Lifted, New 33″ tires and wheels plus more. Second Jeep has no motor, the rest is pretty much all there”
There might be some value here, but the body is probably shot.
“Not driven/started for 15 years. Includes detachable cab, new(unused) fuel tank, four winter tires.”

This picture comes from Elizabeth, Colorado. Conrad is checking out the beautiful scenery and, perhaps, contemplating the sale of his jeep, because “Lizzy” was sold a few days ago to her new owner Mark. This CJ-2A is very stock and even has its original black paint (quite rare).
Mark plans to take good care of it and preserve it as is. So, despite being sad it had to go, Conrad is happy it is going to Mark and Mark is thrilled to get it. Even better, Mark and Conrad have become friends.
UPDATE: This seller has redone several different CJ-2As like this. I may be mistaken, but it looks like the same paint that was used on the body was used on the motor.
“ENGINE:ORIGINAL 4 CYLINDER WILLYS FLATHEAD ENGINE, NICE RUNNING-ORIGINAL 6 VOLT SYSTEM.STARTS,RUNS,SHIFTS & STOPS GREAT.ENGINE HAS NO KNOCKS,TAPS, SMOKE,OR RATTLES.FRESH OIL CHANGE & LUBE.BRAKES ARE REAL NICE AND STRONG.SMOOTH,QUITE,STRONG RUNNING ENGINE.TRUE MILAGE UNKNOWN ON THIS 64 YO.

Unclear if this runs.
“Ideally I want to trade for a motorcycle(sport bike or similar preferred) I’m even willing to pay a little out of pocket for the trade if the bike is nice.”
http://nashville.craigslist.org/mcy/3085156391.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4200.
Seller needs to sell quickly.
“Super cool CJ2a 1948 Willy’S Jeep
Jeep has a full cage roll bar.
custom lift, bumpers, tires, 327 Chev engine, Dual pipes.. a mut see”
The body, windshield (square washers) and grille appear to be from an early ’46.
“Great running CJ2A Jeep with lockout hubs and starts great with strong engine…. body not so good but good enough for a cottage beater or workhorse around the farm… has a Wisconsin title and original rims with digger type tires…. brakes do not work, lights probably not also, but more uses than a 4 wheeler ATV!!…. Had planned on putting a different tub on the jeep and fixing it up but I have to many jeeps already and its to good to part out…. parts alone are well worth the 850.00 so the price is firm… will consider taking a different jeep in on partial trade, or jeep parts as I do have racks of parts that I use for projects…call 920-856-65three nine…. scammers wanting to send check with shipper need not respond…. ”

I’m wondering if those mini-terras are newer retreads. They appear in good shape.
“1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep. Mostly orgional and unmolested. very good base for a full restore project. or have a nice toy/farm/woods jeep with just a little effort. I was planing on restoing it but have not had the time to get started on it. Don’t want to see it sit, when somebody else could be using it. It has the orgional Go Devil flat head engine, 3 speed transmission, with high low 4×4 The previous owner changed the seats, converted it to 12volt, with an altanator, and added an electrit fuel pump. the plugs wires and fuel filters are fairly newer. it also has manual locking warn hubs The jeep is a project, and has not been drove in over a year, so it will need to be trailered. The orgioanl plates under the hood and in the cab are there and readable. I have a title for it These old jeeps are very hard to find, and even harder to find this complete, and has not spent it’s life as a mud bogger. price is $3200”
