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 $3500
It looks like Terra Tires all around.
“For sale is a 1949 CJ2A Willys Jeep. Does not have original motor, it has a Buick V6 in it. In good shape, runs great.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3300
(08/16/2011) Not a perfect restoration, but looks fun just the same.
“If you are in the market for a four wheeler but would like to be able to enjoy the ride with more than 2 people, this Jeep is for you!
It’s small enough to fit down most trails but big enough for family and friends to all enjoy!
This Willy’s runs great, along with having new shocks, alternator and has been well taken care of. I have owned it for the past 3 years, but it has been stored indoors for at least the past 10 years…since its restoration.
If interested please call 612-321-6206 and ask for Matt, thanks!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“This is a very clean, well restored, and well running CJ2A. You don’t see them like this very often. I hope I look this good when I’m 64 years old! Complete body off restore done in 2001 and garaged full-time since then. Driven occasionally in parades or short trips around town since then. I tried to keep everything original. It’s been in the family since before I can remember but it’s time to pass it along to someone else who will baby it.
Original flat head engine. Engine has been started regularly and runs great. Starts on the first crank every time. Doesn’t burn oil or leak. Belts and hoses are good. New radiator keeps engine nice and cool. Engine compartment is clean, no rust or corrosion, and everything is easy to reach. Manual choke. Foot starter. Starting the jeep by hand is very fun with the hand crank starter (included). Manual 3 speed transmission plus reverse. Odometer reads 1335 miles but I have no idea if that is accurate.
Jeep has been converted from 6V to 12V. New battery, new 12V generator, new wiring harness (every wire in the vehicle is new), lights and gauges are all new or originals that work fine, driver’s side heater with electric fan and on\off switch, high \ low bean foot switch, dash panel light. New headlights and brake light.
Body is in good shape. This is the original tub which was removed and new steel welded in to repair all existing damage. Front and rear floor boards are completely solid with no rust (unusual in jeeps this old). Tool box is clean and dry. New gas tank. Side mounted spare. Frame and underside was sandblasted down to metal, all damage was repaired and repainted. Shocks and springs are good. Drive train is solid. Brakes work well. Rubber floor mats fit floor boards well. Good solid roll bar. Jerry can mounted on rear.
Most rubber is new and in good shape. Window tie-down belt secures the fold-down window in place when its down. Wood blocks on the hood support window when its down. Pneumatic windshield wiper motor (missing the blade) works using engine vacuum. New heavy canvas from Beachwood Canvas Works with no tears anywhere. Seatbelts added front and back to make it legal.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
The engine is apart.
“’47 Willy Jeep CJ2A. Flat Head ford engine. body in fair condition. Everything for under the hood there but in pieces. No interior, fuel tank. Have original seat frame. $1000 OBO.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
This has an unusual front fog light (or turning light?) solution on the front grille.
“1948 Jeep Willy CJ2A — odometer reads 60383 miles — New Exhaust Pipe, Muffler, Tail Pipe, Carburetor, Master Cylinder, Fuel Pump, Wheel Cylinders and Brake Pads, Rewired. Hard to start at times, but runs good when started frequently. Driven on road in 2010. Garage kept since I have owned. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
Unclear if it runs or not.
“I have a CJ-2A Jeep which I think was built in 1942 – 1945? I’m selling this for my father. As you can see there’s a fair amount of rust in the body so it’s maybe a good vehicle for parts. The engine looks to be a 4 cylinder and it has a manual transmission. No current registration but a bill of sale will be provided at the time of sale”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
“1946 is the first year Willys manufactured the civilian jeep. Over 65 years young. Why not own a piece of history? Classic cars grow in value every year. This jeep was used as a gentleman’s grove jeep for many years.
Areas in the floor boards can use some welding repair, overall good condition. Jeep is titled and insured for street use. Runs great. Transfer, gear box, hubs operate perfectly. Spare tire / same as the 4 on the jeep. Spare parts include steering worm and pinion, new oil filter, rear shocks, new in box. Seats covered in green leather and seat belts added. New brakes, including all cylinders and hoses. Serviced September, 2010 ($1,600.00), bill available for inspection. Used little since. Garaged. Needs speedo cable. Amp wires reversed shows neg (-) instead of pos. (+)”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8,500.
(09/05/2011) This looks solid.
“This is a 1945 Willys cj2a. It is in great shape for its age. It has all the good up grades.
Steering box and colum, brakes, seats, gauges, suspension, tires, etc… Everything works.
Original 4 cylnder flathead motor that runs great. There are only so many of these left today.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200
(04/18/2010) “Body in ok shape rear replace and extended with square plate, straight frame, engine was pulled not running, still with jeep, title was lost by previous owner haven’t gone to DMV to replace. Larger project than I anticipated or have time for would just like to recoupe some of the money I payed for it, asking $1,200 o.b.o.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This fiberglass body has an unusually short dash. I can’t tell if it came that way or if it was cut.
“Willy’s CJ2A 1948. Fiberglass tub, all tires 99%, newer wheels, Baja lights, new starter switch and master cylinder, tow bar. The brakes need bleed, battery works but needs replaced, and engine is hard mounted. It also has a transmission leak from somewhere. Engine starts easily. Four wheel drive works. The title says 1949 but the VIN is from the 1948 period so I’m not sure what happened there. No VIN tag. Head 648830 engine P31351. from what I can tell its a F-head engine M-38. Block 646228-L-W10ANI-CR-N2.
Willy’s CJ2A 1946 parts jeep. Dualmatic hubs, hood is restorable, gas tank appears to be good, transmission appears to be ok, wheels are restorable, vin tag in place. VIN 79023, tailgate 6988. The engine was already removed whe I got it. I pulled it apart and it appears to be rebuildable. Head 640161 engine J206101. No title for this jeep. Block 641087-L-W7ANI-CR-N2 4-22.
I have described these to the best of my ability. It has been a while since I wrote all these numbers etc down so I hope I got them all correct. If you have questions please ask. I bought these to restore but due to back problems I had to stop.
I have more pictures if interested. All pictures were taken today. I plan to loosely assemble the spare motor with all misc parts bagged and tagged. All is sold as is and final.”
No pics provided, but sounds interesting.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200
(07/18/20110 I can’t quite tell how much rust is here. It looks complete, but obviously also needs restoration.
“This is a post war civilian model with the original flathead 4 cylinder engine, and 3 speed transmission.
There are no seats, and no top. The glass is gone from the windsheild.
I do have the doors, but of course the canvas has rotted. The frames are intact.
This would make a neat project for someone who has more time that I do.
I like the old jeeps alot, but realistically, I’ll never have time to fix it up.
The engine is not running, and may need rebuilt. I do not know.
I bought it from a friend just to get it out of his yard. I’d like to get my money back out of it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3850.
There have been a few changes to this VEC, but it looks pretty solid. Note the non Willys hood (Maybe a M-38?).

I have already emailed for pics of this ….
“Hello, Here is a strange bird. It is a 1946 cj-2a with a 47 willy’s wagon body chopped and married to the flat-fender 2a. It was sitting since 92 and i have since had it running. The fuel tank needs to be changed out but i have one to throw in on the deal. It needs floors, brake work and the plow is not mounted. this is strictly a yard driver!!!! It has a l-134 kaiser super-sonic 4 cyl and a original willy’s plow. I can send pics if you are interested.”
