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 .

This is a mix of parts.
“For sale is a Willys cj2a with a Ford Gpw tub and fenders. The rest of the jeep is a cj2a. The engine number is j145205. This jeep does not have a title and is sold as parts. The windshield is in rough condition. The tub does have rust through in the gas tank well, rear floor, hat channels and other places. The engine currently is stuck. The frame looks very good. The tires are not useable. No seats or fuel tank. The footrest, side handles, corner handles, door strap bolts, and fenders are F marked.”
This sure looks like an early VEC to me.

https://denver.craigslist.org/cto/d/golden-1948-jeep-willys-cj2a/7420675481.html
“This is a 1948 Willys CJ2A with a 3A windshield
It runs and drives great starts right up with no issues
Plenty of power for an old Willys
55MPH all day long if you would like
At some point, a previous owner swapped the original engine for a Chevy 4 Cylinder MERC engine!
Has the original carb and transmission and they work great!
It’s a blast to drive
Comes with a tow bar
New Battery
Comes with the soft top two doors and a Koenig Hardtop (Which needs a bit of work but not much at all )
Different gas tank has been installed in the back. This has an inline 6 engine.

“This listing is for a 1947 Willys Jeep. The Jeep has been in my possession or my father’s position for a very long time. It was in my father’s garage in Prescott forever and we brought it down here to Phoenix. It has a new battery but needs some overall work. The engine will crank and start but does not keep running. Most of the items on the Jeep are not original – notice the newer wheels etc. However, the battery, upholstery and windshield are fine. Headlights, taillights and blinkers all work fine. It does not have the original engine – the original engine would have been a 4 cylinder. This has a 6 cylinder and I am pretty sure it is from a Studebaker. The odometer gauge does not work and it says 21,227 but I’m sure there are more miles on it than this. I am hoping to sell this to an individual who is into Jeeps – I don’t need help selling it and I am not looking to trade it in – so no dealer emails. Thanks.”
It’s worth some more pics.

Bill is selling his beautiful 1947 CJ-2A. We met with Bill back in 2018 and I saw this jeep in person at that time.

Listed as a 1948 CJ-2A, the body looks to be CJ-3A. The front frame rails lack the gussets. Might be a good price.

“This 1946 willys cj2a jeep is in very good condition. The jeep runs is a real eye catcher. I bought it in great shape & added a lot more of new parts to it.”
The price has dropped on this 2A. At first, I thought the battery was located in the case attached to the PTO bar (looks similar to a plastic battery enclosure).

“I have a 1948 Willys jeep for sale. It runs and it drives. I have a clean title in hand. …. It is a four wheel drive Willys with a manual transmission.

It appears to be $600 for all. The white body looks to be a 3A. I can’t tell what the bottom body is. At least one frame is a 2A.

“Two jeep tubs and 3 frames. No titles. Year unknown.”
This may need the master cylinder fixed or replaced.
