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.
All original except for the updated parts and the replaced parts.
“I have a 1947 Willys Jeep for sale. ALL ORIGINAL!! It runs great too!!!! Has 11″ brakes in the front and 10″ brakes in the back.”
It’s not 100% authentic, but it wouldn’t take much to be 100%. The front frame rails look unmolested and unbent. Strangely, there are no pics that show the sides.
“1947 Willys jeep CJ2A, completely original tub (body). built in MAR of 1946. originally a texas truck, moved to Missouri, until a close police officer friend of ours brought the truck up to canada. the truck is 100% authentic Willys Jeep (original body, motor and frame). Runs and drives well. driven daily, currently licensed and plated”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4200
(04/01/2011) Looks nice.
“1948 Willy;s Flat Fender Jeep- 302 V8 Engine
Tilt locking wheel, extra fuel tank
New ragtop, IN THE BOX. Buckshot mudder tires.
Lifted, Lots of Custom work(rollcage, bumpers, dash and more!)
$4,200 Or best Offer ”
This is interesting. This used to be an extended CJ-2A, but has been cut back down to a stock size. The rollcage is only $50, which is a great price.
“Flat fender jeep body. Has the general rust under the passenger seat and drivers side. It was a rare long bed that in the 50’s I road in. But between then and when I bought it someone cut it down to a regular CJ2A size. the cut is just stitiched and needs finishing. Overall its not a basket case but will be a good project. I also have a roll bar that is custom for a 2A for $50 that is sitting on it and a windshield that needs the inner piece and a new panel across the front for $50. There are side diamond plate for the foot rest and along the side for $50 and some other 2A and 3A parts. I also have a complete project jeep for $1300. Body needs some work but for its age is better than most. You buy the project I will throw in the body listed above for any part it may need. I have L head motors that will need rebuilding for $300.”

No pics provided and needs some work.
“The older brother to the other CJ2A I am selling, this one is titled and under non-op status. It is also nearly complete but needs to be gone through stem to stern to make it road worthy. It has a few rust issues, unlike its brother. My intentions were to build one but they are both so good, each deserves a new life. I can send photos. If you buy both, plus all the extra stuff listed in the other ad, I’ll toss in a Postal jeep frame, an extra CJ2A frame needing only minor work, an extra bell housing and transmission housing and transfer case housing, gas tank, and other odds and ends all for $5000. That would give you a great start on a fleet of CJ2As!”

Don’t worry, this had a fresh rebuild when parked.
“its a 1947 willy’s jeep its been sitting for a while motor is complete its the flat head 4 cylinder and only had 10 miles on a fresh rebuild when it was parked, also i believe it is already converted to a 12 volt style alternator. has a manual transmission with a twin stick transfercase only thing that was wrong with it when it was parked was it was grinding going into gears because the clutch was not engaging properly, needed adjustment. does not run but shouldnt take much to get it goin
not sure what it is worth in this condition will ask 2000 OBO do not be afraid to make a cash offer or trade offer will consider anything interesting…”
Hey, it runs!
“1946 Willys Cj2a – Runs and drives, needs brake work. Ford Pinto motor with stock transmission. Lift with 35’s used strictly for off-road. (906) Two eight seven fourteen hundred”
http://up.craigslist.org/cto/2555956109.html
This looks solid.
“This jeep starts right up and is a lot of fun to drive. The Jeep has an excellent running V8 engine, a Warn overdrive (transfer case is twin-stick, gives it a high and low range for each gear), a new soft top, and a new gas tank. The transmission on this jeep is a smooth-shifter and it works perfectly.
I had all of the brake wheel cylinders replaced (along with a couple of brake lines that needed to be replaced) and the brakes work great. I also just had all of the tranny and differential fluids drained and replaced….this jeep is ready to go as a daily driver or for off-road use.
The jeep has a few small holes / spots in the floor that could be patched if desired, but they are minor and overall, this vehicle has very little rust and is in very good cosmetic shape for it’s age.
Everything works on the jeep except the speedometer and fuel gauge. I have the kit to put turn signals on the jeep, but, I have not installed it yet – buyer can have the kit for free if they like. The jeep also needs a rear view mirror to be registered in some states. I also have a set of large rock crawler tires that came with the jeep. I haven’t put them on but assume they fit and work.
This jeep is currently registered / titled in Idaho and it is a clean and lien-free title in my name. Mileage is unknown.
It pains me to sell this jeep but my wife says it has to go as I need the space in the garage for our boat.
Will sell for best offer received over $3,450.

This is a project or parts jeep.
“Willis Jeep 1948 Flat Fender. This Jeep was bought as a project vehicle. But things have changed & I don’t have time for it. My loss your gain. The vehicle has a clear TN title. The body is rough. The motor is free. This would a good restoration project as it is pretty much complete with a title. 4 x $ with lock out hubs.”
Needs work.
“1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep. Firewall plate intact Serial Number CJ2A 187943. All original matching numbers engine, body, tailgate. Ran last time it was used in 2007. Stored since then. Transferable Registration. $6000 in parts already installed or ready to go. Tub is rough, but mechanically Jeep is sound. Hand Brake even works, but rest of brake system needs rebuild. This Jeep can be parted out for significantly more than this price. This is a restoration in progress. Not ready to drive home, but a gem to those that want to own a true classic and are willing to complete the needed work. Or, take Jeep and the parts home, part it out, and make some money.
Call Craig @ 845-266-3139. Leave message if no answer and I’ll get back to you quickly.”
