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 $950.
I don’t think this looks all that bad. I’ve seen worse rust.
“1948 WILLYS JEEP CJ2A NEEDS RESTORED.
Recent engine work ran last fall thats the last time it was started.
Needs clutch and brakes. Not bad for 63 years old. Will trade for a good running SMALL car or truck.
May trade to a four wheeler or a good running tractor mower.”
UPDATE: Does not run, so now priced at $3000
“Needs work. Brand new Battery. Has been stored in closed garage for years. Owned by World War II Vet. Used for hunting. Perfect for someone who is interested in restoring this Beauty!”

By ‘cherry’, does the seller mean the color is cherry?
“Rebuilt, with 1956 engine. Runs good. 12v system.
Good rubber. this Jeep is Cherry!

(11/21/2010) “This is a great jeep, it does need some restoration work. Would be a great project for the gear head in your family. It is set at a low price, which is negotiable. It has been in the family since 1960. Has the rollbar (not original) and winch original. The pictures do not do it justice it is old but beautiful if you are an old car buff. We need to sell due to losing our home and would prefer not to take it with us. We have the title and the first one with cash will walk away with a piece of history. I have included some information from a site about the jeep. If you have questions, want more pics or would like more information please dont hesitate to contact me..”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
This appears solid.

“1947 flat fendered Jeep Willys with all parts except carbrator. It’s a good project rig. It’s actually not all the way put together because I was in the process of restoring it. Obo”
Mostly solid body?

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a NellyBelle look-a-like. Note the bent frames rails in the fourth pic.
“”Whoa Nelly” Being a fan of Roy, Dale and Pat I decided I wanted a Nelly Belle of my own so this 1947 CJ2A turned into one. It sure isn’t “the” Nelly But I think Pat would recognize her. She is very stock, 6V, L head stock axels. Tires about 2 years old with less than 500 miles. Radiators good, fuel tanks new, all gauges work. Starts, runs and stops fine. No steering wobble. The Nelly Belle tins included of course, 20 mm ammo cans, hand fabricated doors and a cut down windshield complete with gun port. She’s ready to parade or play, biggest problem is finding people who know who Roy, Dale, Pat and Nelly are. Isn’t that a shame.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(07/30/2011) The seller knows the whole history of this jeep.
“1946 Willy’s bought new at Al Archard Motors 224 E. Grand ave, Escondido. Has the very desirable half cab top that was originally canvas but was covered in galvanized tin back in the early 1950’s by tom Bandy’s Blacksmith shop. She starts right up and purrs ! Engine runs strong and all gearing and four wheel drive components function. It will need the brakes, steering, suspension and cooling system addressed before putting her back on the road. This jeep was built for both agricultural use and recreation. The prior owner told me stories of he and his father driving it up 395 into the Sierras in the 1950’s then returning home to use it as the tractor on the ranch. It was still attached to a plowing disc when I purchased it. This little Willy’s is perfect for parades, Tractor shows or just looking good in the yard. I have title and it is registered ‘non-op’.”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $4200
(01/30/2011) The steps look a little odd.

Buz spotted this beautiful CJ-2A that will be auctioned August 20th. You can learn more about the auction at the Owls Head Transportation Museum or visit the museum, which is on Route 73 about 85 miles north of Portland, Maine. I think that will be a long drive for most of us!
It isn’t particularly stock, but it looks nice enough.

I guess the part about the tub being part CJ-2A and part CJ-5 is only shared on a need-to-know basis. That said, for a run about vehicle it probably functions just fine.
“1946 Willys flat fender Jeep ,New exhaust, tub sand blasted and primed, new wiring, Buik 326 engine, frame repainted with zero rust on the vehicle. runs great. tires are 80-90%. I am open to trades and part trades. I am very interested in a street bike. preferably a 500 and higher, street legal, Dual sport. call or text anytime. 541-297-746 seven”

There might be some value here, but not a whole lot.
“jeep in rough shape but almost fully complete. body in bad shape has complete drive train. would think that drive train would need full resto. frame is solid. need gone so make an offer all I can say is no. will consider some offers but really like $$$$.”
http://wilmington.craigslist.org/pts/2547185871.html
This has a few odd mods.
“im selling my hobby 1948 WILLYS JEEP originally purchased and shipped from MS………its in perfect runnig condition, little to no rust that i can see, the jeep is painted army green, its in great physical and mechanical condition unlike most jeeps of this year out there, it has new spark plugs, wires, distributor cap & rotor, new carburator also its been converted to a 12volt system instead of the 6volt………so standard automotive batteries will work with this baby……..asking $3500 OBO SERIOUS INQUIRES ONLY”
http://reading.craigslist.org/pts/2520670109.html
UPDATE: Was Make Offer. **SOLD**
There is some value here.
“1946 CJ 2A Willys Jeep frame, rear axle, transmission, transfer case, L-head engine block and head, hood, two fenders, grill, and 4 -16″ tires and rims. Body is in tough shape but the front clip portion is generally good.The engine will need rebuilding and does not run Also have many parts including 6 v generator, voltage regulator, coil, headlights, and starter. I also have 2 front seat frames and other misc. parts for CJ 2A Willys. If interested, email me with a phone number and I will call you.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
For the price this might not be bad. It generally looks solid.
“1946 Jeep Willy… asking $3000
Running, Good condition.
Must Sell”
Debbie, you and I need to talk. Seriously. I mean, to claim this is “Unadulterated” is a bit of a stretch, don’t you think? I know it is a big word, but, still, I feel like I have a pretty solid grasp of the concept and this isn’t it.
“A fine unadulterated example of the CJ2A model from the last year they were manufactured. It has an older Emerald Green paint job that’s year appropriate and looks fine at 20 feet, but is peeling in places. The body and frame are very solid, showing only light surface rust and no rust penetrations. It starts easily, runs and drives well, the 4-cyl flathead “Go Devil” engine is strong and blows clean. The electrical system has been converted to 12-volt for reliability.
The jeep has been barn kept for the past 10 years and used around the farm to pull garden equipment. This jeep would make a great summer driver as-is, and is the perfect candidate for a simple restoration to make it a 10.
To view and drive please call Debbie at 802-877-9291″

UPDATE: Was $3500. **SOLD**
This doesn’t run. It might be a VEC. I think it might be a column shift.
“I have a 1944 willys jeep for sale 3500.00 or best offer. It has a new battery, original top, wheels, engine, and the original owners manual. Just bought a battery for it. The engine turns, but i did not try to turn it over because it needs work, just wanted to make sure it wasnt frozen. There is some rust on it, and it does need work. Would very much like to sell it to someone who has the time to restore this.”
UPDATE: Was $3900. **SOLD**
This looks solid.
“1949 Willys Jeep, 4wd with hi/low transmission. Excellant tires and wheels, new battery, runs great and is always garaged. Has nice seats and a removable soft top. New paint and tune up last year. An excellant buy, far below actual value. I don’t drive it much and need the garage space for winter.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
This has an unusual striping motif. The last tags were in 1981, so I suspect the miles on the engine are pretty low.
“48 flat fender willys w/ roll bar and a 283 small block, new rear seal, new upholstered black leather seats. has canvas top and doors but is in fair condtion. drop down winshield, new battery, and all the lights work too…. tires are good but could use new ones in the future, its not a daily driver but it will climb a tree….. the last tags r from 1981, have clear title….it runs killer and has lots of power.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
This has some solid lettering Dogs. It sure looks like a racer from the 80s maybe.
“This is a project rig. It does not run. I don’t know what kind of shape the drive train is in. I found it in a field. I was told it used to be raced and the axles are welded up. I due have a title for it. I can’t remember the year at the moment but 46′ sticks in my head. I was going to build a wheeler out of it but I have no time or money. I’d like to see $800 but feel free to make an offer. I can send more pics. It’s currently in storage in Othello but I live in tri-cities.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** No price listed.
This has 3 data tags and I think is a column shift. It also looks like there are or may have been tool indents on the driver’s side.
“For Sale: 1941? Willy Jeep”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
This appears solid. The gauges and bumper have been updated.
“1948 CJ2-A Willys Jeep. Good condition. Original drivetrain and 134 ci L-head. Recovered seats. Replaced brakes, fuel pump and battery. Starts and runs good.”
