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 .
TJ spotted this jeep. There may already be a pending offer on it.

“For Sale 1949 Willys CJ2A
This is a well running classic! Engine runs great, body is in good condition. I was planning to fully rebuild, but decided to work on other projects. Upgrades already include full custom roll bar assembly ($800) consistent with original dimensions, canvas cover ($750), and original front Koenig TPO winch which is extremely sought after for these vehicles!!! Good tires. Newer exhaust and muffler. A radiator with fan switch has been added so it can safely operate in the Nevada heat. In July 2021, replaced the battery, fuel filter, ignition coil and fuel pump and have receipt ($750). Has a 6 cylinder engine that was a popular replacement engine for this Willys. Have paperwork on what work has been done by the previous owners over the years. Also have a number of new gasket and seal kits that I purchased from KaiserWillys, but have not had a chance to install. These are all included. Clean title in hand. $7,200. Please no low ball offers. Vehicle is in Las Vegas”

Bailey’s selling this jeep. It seems worth a look to me. It appears to have a rare windshield extender that on top of the windshield frame that (I think) allows a channel for a 3A and later top to attach (it does come with a top).
“1947 CJ2A with original engine in good condition. Fully restored in 1996 with updated electrical and new transmission in 2018. Fully street legal and currently registered in Texas. Kept in garage for last 8 years and driven regularly. Great weekend cruiser or Jeep for the Ranch. Comes with aftermarket top and doors for winter driving. ”

“Hunting jeep great shape. It runs!!needs brakes. Have master cylinder Make an offer”

It doesn’t run. The floor has been rebuilt, but it wasn’t rebuilt to any standard specs, nor does the floor sit over the frame on hat channels.
“1948 Willys Jeep. Clear Texas Blue Title in my name. Original engine, transmission and transfer case. Motor spins freely. Clean, clear oil and water. Hundreds of new parts. Perfect frame.

The rust-colored 2A is a column shift, but not a VEC. It also may have the Hudson steering mod. It’s rim style is hard to find, too. Not sure how much value is actually here though.

“48 Willys CJ-2A with a title in my name.
Rough shape but all there except interior.
All drivetrain is there. The engine is newer not the original flat head. Has an over head valve engine that I’m pretty sure is bad. Does have a rare hardtop with one door that’s in bad shape but probably fixable.
I’ve owned the jeep for years and realized I’m not going to have time to do anything with it.
Looking for $1000 will negotiate in person if you’re interested.
Feel free to call or text me with any questions.”
The price appears to be for both. No pics provided.
