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 1948 CJ-2A sports a rare Worman Half-Cab (Jee Cab), though sadly it took a hit of some kind on the topside.

“1948 willy’s jeep with factory blade to rebuild as is – complete original parts ($2500 obo)”
This may be worth a look. Has rear mounted custom tank.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/374736948716973/
“1946 Willy’s, has a Buick v6 motor plenty of power, new paint, new tires, nice seats, has the original running gear that works perfect, new fuel cell, been in the family since 1960, the ultimate side-by-side, if a tree gets in your way just mow it over, this thing is built to last, no flimsy A arms and tiny axles, it’s a tank, I had it lifted, with big tires and rims, it looked good but didn’t perform off road, back to a two inch lift with skinny tires, works the best, put chains on the front tires, and you will never get stuck. The motor so strong it will sling mud thirty feet in front of Jeep.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(05/24/2024) This looks solid. It’s got a replacement body, so it should be in good shape.

“Runs great and looks amazing! Took first place in the one car show I took it to and all the other parts come with it along with a v6 Buick motor. Open to trades but not selling individual parts!”
This has a rear PTO and gear box.

“Runs, drives. starts with key. brakes not working. has title. L134 engine, T90 transmission. PTO shifter with complete PTO unit on back of jeep. when you engage the PTO shifter, a spline on the back bumper turns.”
The seller has a variety of parts, including what looks to be an FC door. The body appears to be a VEC CJ-2A.

“Custom Massey Harrison 1946 Willis drive train all Custom 4×4 works starts drives and stop head turner vary nice jeep and really fun driver”
This has at least one combat rim. It’s also got full floaters in the rear. It might also have been a column shift. It could be a ’45.

“1946 CJ2A military police jeep. Needs a lot of work. Everything is there to put back together. I priced what I think it would take to do it right, you would be looking at probably 10,000. Everything now is original, I think.”

“This Jeep runs and drives well.We have it legal and ride it on roads some.Many new parts.Needs a little time and effort put into to make it new again.Great little project.”
The front frame rails suggest this might be a 3A chassis. It includes a new body.

“1946 Willy’s jeep got a brand new body front fenders good and tail gate paid 5,000$ for the body alone it runs and moves under it’s own power clutch is free had all intentions on redoing it just to many projects 5,000$ or best offer no title!!! Needs gone”
Not sure have much value this column shift CJ-2A has.

“I have a 1946 Jeep Willy’s complete running gear everything but the top don’t know much about it other then it ran 13 years ago. Along with it I have a 1947 frame and running gear the motor has already been changed to a 12 volt system it ran 5 years ago would be great to freshen up and fix the buddy on the other 2500 Firm will not respond to is it available When I get the data tag information and serial number the price will go up due to me finding more information on the proper age and exactly what I have.”
The frame horns suggest this is a CJ-2A chassis topped with a DJ-3A body and hardtop.

“Willy’s jeep. Needs work. Lots of good parts. Have title.”
The front springs have been outboarded some and I imagine the rear springs have as well. Looks like it has been lengthened, too.

“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A
Looking for that one special Jeep for the Sierra Nevada Rubicon Trail….THIS IS IT!!

Hydraulic Winch, Power Steering, Dynatrac Axles & Rear End, 4 wheel disk brakes
Transfer Case & Transmission Upgrades, Air lockers Front & Rear, Tilt Steering
Professional Row Bar, 33 12 x 15 Pro Comp Tires, On Board Air, No rust, professional paint job, new nuts and bolts.
Survived the Sierra Nevada Rubicon trail. Have owned for 3 years and it’s been parked in my garage. The jeep deserves to be driven and not just sit. It’s over the top!”
This might be a late 1948, or early 1949 CJ-2A, as it has the current CJ-2A ignition hole on the dash, but lacks frame horns (possibly they were removed). You’ll note in the video that the oil filter was moved to the fender using the stock mount, which seems to work pretty well.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/448763574439100
“Runs and drives. Has alot of new parts already installed.”
Unclear how much value is here. Based on the grille, this is likely a late ’46 or early ’47.

“Up for sale a complete 4WD Willys Jeep without engine or title. Year unknown, but it is a 2A. Use it as parts or put an engine in it and drive it. Previous owner or owners put a 6-cylinder engine in it, fire wall is cut up. Great is you want to put a Chevy small block, now it has clearance for the distributor. Has all 4 original 16″ wheel, has the front seat frame (needs cousins). the 3 speed T90 and the Dana 18 transfer case is there. Like I said, complete less engine and title.
Perfect summer project, or a father son project. These Willys jeeps stopped production darn near 70 years ago. They don’t make them anymore, so maybe you should take this one home.”
Looks like a good price.

“For sale: 1947 CJ2a. Here is everything I know about this Jeep. I bought it a year ago for hunting. I packed out deer and antelope with it, but the area where I hunt elk is a roadless area and vehicles are not allowed. I need something I can use to carry out an elk so I am selling the Jeep to buy a pack horse, otherwise I’d love to keep it. The guy I bought it from in Gillette, WY. bought it at auction, so I don’t have a lot of historical info or receipts. It runs like a top, started on the third try after storing it in a barn for 8 months. It clearly has a replacement metal body. Original type engine and running gear. I put brand new tires on it last fall and maybe have 500 miles on them. I put a new carburetor on last summer, new one works great. I just drove it for half An hour in and out of 4wd – terrific! As far as problems – it needs some electrical work – starts without a key, headlights work but taillights don’t. Oil, electrical and gas gauge works, temps, speedo/odometer don’t. There is no parking brake. It has original (weak) brakes. Paint has chipped off on hood and tailgate. Price: $6,000. I’d prefer to have you pick it up but I can deliver it if not too distant, or we can arrange delivery in some way. I am in Dubois, WY.”
It’s got a few mods, but still may. be worth a look.

“‘m finally selling my Willys jeep. It has a clean Colorado title. It is a CJ2A that has been converted to a 12 volt system and it starts right up and runs great. Everything works on it including the horn, wipers, guages, and lights. According to the Title, it is a 1946, but many things are not of that year. Many parts have been repaired or replaced. It has a new radiator, carburator, wiper motor, sun top from a M38, tie rod ends, steering stablizer, Gas tank, brakes, head gasket, rear floor mat, and windshield frame with glass. The overall body is in good shape with small rust under the passenger side, and some dings and cracks in the paint. It also has a small glovebox.
If you are a purest, this is not the jeep for you, but if you want one to play around in the hills, this is it. Also comes with Grill guard and tow bar.”
This project includes a Porter & Reed hardtop.

“I’ve owned this 1948 Willys CJ2a since 2009 and have thoroughly enjoyed driving and working on it, but am in a different stage of life and now it’s time to let someone else have some adventures with it.
Highlights:
• Frame-off restoration in 2010. Sandblasted and coated the frame, replaced leaf springs (NOS) and shackles, shocks, overdrive, electrical harness, seat cushions and canvas covers. Engine and transmission were solid when I bought it. Total mileage unknown, I’ve put about 10k on it.
• Body is original steel tub as far as I know. It has a few dings and small ares of corrosion. Original Luzon red re-painted in 2010.
• 134 ci. flathead “Go-Devil” engine with Solex carburetor and electric fuel pump, 3 speed T-90 manual (6 forward speeds with overdrive split), 4WD of course :).
• I have a soft top and all the bows for it. I’ve been told it is an older aftermarket “Sunbrella” top but I’m not 100% sure. It keeps wind and shade off you, but is a little tired and is not waterproof.
• I’ll also include a timing light, dwell meter, mechanical fuel pump, and some other spare parts and accessories.
My goal for this Jeep was never for it to be a show vehicle, just something that looked nice and drove like the original. It runs and drives well; it’s a hoot around town and even more fun up in the mountains”
Tom shared this solid looking 2A. Is there a bolt missing on the front lugs?

I have a passenger under seat storage container, hardtop and full doors with glass, Jerry can and holder (unmounted) and heater. 8000lb winch works well. Growing young family and unfortunately not toddler friendly. My loss is your gain. Asking $10,500. Southern Maine”

“Selling my Willys CJ2A. It has a clean Colorado title that says it’s a 46, but many things are different and new. It has a new 3A windshield with glass, an M38 sun top, glove box, and is 12 volt. Everything works including wipers, horn and lights. It has a new rear floor mat, radiator, carburetor, brakes and lines, head gasket, tie rod ends, and steering stabilizer. The jeep fires right up and runs great. I’m selling it to hopefully get a WWII 40 to 45 MB.”
