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 .

(08/09/2011) This has some unusual features, including the cupholders.
“Customized 1947 Willys Jeep CJ2a
This Jeep is sporting a 1963 Chevy II 153 cid four cylinder with a Turbo 350 automatic transmission pushing power through the original T-18 transfer case. Four wheel drive is still operational, drive shafts have been shortened and lengthened as necessary professionally. The car is completely rewired with a Painless harness for an 80’s CJ. Thermostatic electric fan for the cooling system, pertronix ignition system, chrome valve cover, lifter covers, coil, and starter motor.
All of the body seams have been removed, Vega tail lights mounted sideways in the rear, aftermarket reverse lights, polished diamond plate step covers, polished diamond plate panel over steering in front, S-10 rear bumper with ’94 Sububan center insert, power brake booster, cup holders front and rear, later model Jeep seats front and rear with Willy logo stitched in to head rests on front seats, retractable seat belts front and rear, electric wipers left and right, AM/FM CD with MP3 capabilities, one soft top with removable doors and one bimini top, heater and Cadillac horns, they are LOUD!
Bed liner inside the tub, Locar shifter, custom dash with later model Jeep gauges, the gas tank has been moved to the rear with later model Jeep gas hole on the drivers side rear, custom lockable glove box under the drivers seat keyed to the ignition key, sealed from weather so you can keep the registration out of the weather,store the radio face and maybe your walet a lockable storage box under the back seat also keyed with the ignition key, steering is later model Jeep Saginaw with closed knuckle spicer in front, Dana’s front and rear, chrome cover on the front, steering stabilizer and matching shocks, parking brake mounted to the floor between the seats, custom made floor mats front and rear, roll bar with retractable seat belts for the driver and passenger, I have the set up to install the Sirius radio back in this car, I had it taken out a while ago, plugs into the radio already in the car.
Paint is PPG base coat clear coat, very nice finish all of the hardware is stainless, such as the hood hold downs, all of the visible exterior nuts and bolts etc. This car took a best in show at a local car show earlier this year. It is not a trailer queen, it drives and off roads like a Jeep should.There is a crack in the paint on the drivers side about two inches long, paint is five years old and still looks very very good. Crack is not even visible with the soft top installed which is what is normally on this car year round, we found the crack when we installed the bimini in the spring of this year, so not sure how long it’s been there…”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500
(04/12/2011) It runs good, but to say this is in good condition seems like a bit of a stretch. The body looks pretty rust based on the pics.
“Runs good, needs a starter though. Frame is solid. Good condition for a 65 year old jeep.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(08/15/2011) Runs and needs work.
“Willys CJ2A, it runs but is a project, a lot of rust, previous owner put in a 6 cylinder ford motor so the firewall has been chopped, I have not driven it in a while but I drove it to where is it parked now.

I think this is a mix of DJ-3A and CJ-2A parts.
“according to the serial number this is a 1946 willys cj2A. It does not have a title so it is for parts only. engine is in it and complete but unknown and some parts are missing but still has tons of useable parts for someone restoring an old willys.Tub is pretty rusted out but grill fenders and other body panels are salvagable.
you must take the whole jeep no cherry picking It does roll freely to tow I just pulled it out and moved it to where it is now.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4500
(09/18/2011) I know this has been listed previously, but I couldn’t find it.

“CJ2A Willys Overland Motors, Inc Toledo, Ohio VIN number 158927. We specified the year as a 1940 because we are unsure what year model it is.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800
(10/04/2011) There looks like some value here.
“1948 WILLYS CJ2A. the motor has been replaced with an 1986 ford ranger 2.3 leeter which has been adapted to the warren t90 tranny. it runs and drives as is but the wiring needs to be finished. it has the ranger wiring harness, just needs to be connected. rear seal of the transfer case leaks a little. got the new seal just haven’t had the time to put it in. a new hood wouldn’t hurt much. comes with a set of 28 tsl’s super swampers. one needs to be replaced. has inner side wall damage from being ran to long with low air presure. if your interested email me. $800 don’t want to sell it but i got bills to pay.”
UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $6000
(12/26/2008) From the parts list and description, there’s been a great deal of work and money invested in this jeep. This nice looking CJ-2A sports a fiberglass body, tub and fenders. My only concern about this jeep is the way the rollcage appears to connect to the back wheel wells rather than connecting directly to the frame, as should be done with a fiberglass body.
“Built 377Ci Chevy Small Block w/Edelbrock manifold and Carb Mallory unilite distributor, coil and fuel pump, Doug Thorley Headers, SM465 Chevy 4 speed tranny with centerforce clutch & t18 dual stick tcase with the Warn Overdrive, Narrow track Dana 44 front and rear with the full float axle conversion all around for flat towing it, One Piece shafts in the rear, Disc brakes in the front, Chevy Power Steering ….”
UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $2000
(08/20/2011) This looks pretty rough.
“This is a project I wanted to play with but havent had the time.”
UPDATE: Price bumped to $650.
(09/01/2011) I believe this jeep might have cushioned the fall of a UFO.
