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: Status Unknown. Was $900.
Actually, it doesn’t look all that terrible to me.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400/each
(04/13/2012) There’s some value, but hard to tell how much. That green jeep looks particularly sad.
“Two Willys jeeps for parts or rebuild. One has engine & transmission (has not run in a long time)but body about shot, the other has a better body (not great)but no engine or trans. No titles. $400 ea. cash only. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500
“This is a good running, solid, fun 1948 Willys CJ2A. I have owned this Jeep for 21 years and originally rebuilt it in 1994 and militarized it last year. It runs, drives, stops excellent. It has a very solid body with Gillispie 319 paint. Under the hood it is clean and has been converted to 12v. The tires and tubes are less than a year old. The drivetrain has less than 2k miles on it since rebuild. Also included is a bunch of original Willys parts such as: an original 1942 MB grill, a back seat, 6v starters and generators, carbs, driveshafts, axels and more. This is a great old Jeep and I hate to see her go but really don’t have time to enjoy it like I should.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
Unclear just how much value is here.
“Not original engine, engine is a small block V6. Jeep has all body parts.”
It’s a project.
“’46 Willys Jeep project —–$350.00. 509 – eight eight four two 611. The wife of the house says “thank you!!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Hard to tell much from the pic.
“You are looking at a 1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A The body has been rhino lined inside and out and does not look bad. Problem with the rhino lining is they also did the dash and other areas that probably should not have been done and although very well protected I think it would look better if these areas had not been done. The engine is a Ford 5.0L, 302ci with a Carter ASM 750 CFM Carburetor. The block casting number shows it is a 69-73 before they were detuned and the compression lowered due to emissions, when a muscle car was still a muscle car. I have rebuilt the carburetor, timed it and done a full tune up. It runs good with all the power you might need and it will smoke all four tires if you want.
I am pretty sure that the transmission, three speed, and drive train are original. The clutch works well, it shifts fine and the 4 wheel drive works fine. Most of the underneath has been redone and is new including springs, shocks, tie rods, etc. There is approximately a 2 inch lift on the spring shackles that you can see in the picture of the rear end. Everything else looks pretty much stock. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
(04/19/2012) This runs, but is rough.
“For Sale:
1948 Willys Jeep
Snowblade with Hydrolic lift
Good motor and drivetrain
Runs great – looks rough!
Homemade hard top
We have been using it to push snow on 4 driveways for several years
Great little machine!”
This looks to be a solid jeep.
“Rumor had it this Jeep was used in a few movies back in the day (anyone say: Kelly’s Heroes). The previous owner bought it and planned to restore it, after many years he was ready to let it go. He had rebuilt the Engine and put in a new Radiator, and converted it to 12 Volt system with Alternator. We bought it in this condition, pretty much “rust-free” but with a few dents and dings (Jeep in Dark Green-white wheels). We CHOSE to leave that, so it looked more like a Combat (Field) Jeep – not a “SHOW” JEEP!”
View all the pics and info here
According to the seller, “no modifications have been made on this jeep“. I count at least 21 modifications (not counting the tires). That said, the body looks pretty good.
“This jeep has been garaged except the last the few months. Had to do some remodleing in my garage. There is little surface rust in a few spots nothing major. Role bar in back, snap on soft top. Small rust hole on passager side floor board. ENGINE NOT RUNNING, This jeep is in great shape considering the year it is made. Reply to this or call 360-249-4063. Ask for Kurt
Thanks for looking. This jeep wouldn’t take much to fix up nice if you have time and money that I don’t have. This jeep is all original from 1946, no modifications have been made on this jeep. There is not speedometer in the jeep, there never has been so I have no idea how many miles are on it, it the second engine that has been put in it. Asking $2000.00 for it, title in hand.”
