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: Already sold! Was listed at $500
This may be good for parts.
“this 46 willy is very rough but has a lot of good parts.Last time running was about a year and half ago but ran very good,only reason not used is that father inlaw parked it because ether the transmission or rear end froze up.Will not take no less for it so don’t ask.Call me at 334-685-1741 for any more info.”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $600
(01/11/2011) Given the paddles are included, this might not be a bad price.

UPDATE: **SOLD**
Brett reports that this seller has two projects for sale:
1. **SOLD** Price is $1800. Old Willys jeep with steel shell, engine rebuilt, new tires, carburetor, one of Dad’s many unfinished projects, worth the time to look,”
2. **SOLD** Price was $1500
“Old style jeep, minus windshield, engine complete rebuild, new carb, new tires, shocks, nice red paint. Dad is gone and this is one of his many unfinished projects.”
Brett spotted this fine. It looks pretty solid. I’m not sure if this runs or not. It doesn’t seem as complete as the seller believes. Maybe there are parts in a box somewhere?
“1947 Willys CJ-2A. Solid jeep, great starting point for restoration, or finish the wiring, add some seat cushions and use it as is. I’ve restored a couple of the WWII era military jeeps (MB & GPW) over the years. This was going to be my first CJ restoration, but my current work schedule isn’t going to allow time for it.
You don’t find many this complete and unmolested anymore. Check out the photos and feel free to call or email with any questions. Thanks! Chris (801) 831-0741”

An upside down steering wheel is never a good sign!
“1946 Willys CJ2A for sale; Flathead, 4 cylinder motor in good condition; Drive train also in good condition; Body rough; Runs well but will need a replacement gas tank; $1200 obo;”
The body is supposed to be solid.

It just goes to show you that you shouldn’t believe everything you read (regarding NADA) — with the exception of what you read at eWillys … ok, most of what you read?
“Previously restored. Garage kept. Hard top included. NADA average retail of $10,700.”
This needs a new front R&P, but otherwise sounds like it has some value for the price.
”
1948 Willys- 69 Buick V6 225 cu, Saginaw non-PS, two fuel tanks-with electric fuel pump, back seat, decent top, seats need replaced or covered, rewired with one wire alt, heater from 68 ford p up, receiver hitch for winch in front, set up for York air compressor on engine, has oversize brakes on front and have axle assy with brakes to be installed on rear axle, two jerry-can carriers on rear, tire carrier is a complete hub assembly. Have extra parts for it-two trans/transfer, misc steering components, misc axles. Only 1 problem with it now is the the front diff is blown. It still goes down the road, you just don’t have all wheel drive. This Willys has been a running project/toy. Been used mainly for running in the snow and hunting. Have taught two children to drive in it. I have bought another Jeep and have to many projects. Not a fancy rig but will do what a Willys will do. Call 541-566-2818 or 541-377-0106.”

I don’t think I’ve seen Willys spelled ‘Wyllis’.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
I’m thinking this needs a little more than just some wiring. What is on the hood?
“Has been converted from 6 volt to 12 volt. Complete. Needs to be wired”
UPDATE: Was $750. **Sold**
(01/05/2011) The floor seems to be missing some floor.
“1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A. Great restoration project! Engine, frame and drive train is pretty good. The tub is the worst but repairable. The front portion of the Jeep has minimal rust and is solid “floor board curve forward”. Engine turns over and has spark. New 6 volt battery 1-3-11. No title, but I will work with you on getting that resolved.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600.
There might be some value here. I’m sure it can be picked up for less. The seller incorrectly identifies this as a CJ-2A.
“What you see is what you get – This 1948 Willys CJ-2A Jeep was on a property that was purchased by a Realtor so it does not run and has no title. Been sitting for a long time, but rolls freely. The transmission shifter is stuck in gear. All other shifters work just fine. No seats – and missing 1 plug wire, otherwise it appears to be all there. The engine is a 1953 Hurricane motor out of a CJ-3B. Comes with the original Willys rims, too.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
Needs engine. The body is rough.
“i have a 1947 to 1949 jeep willys 4×4 it would make a great hunting or mud toy it has 31×15 50 tires it needs a motor it is set up for a 4.3 or 350. just call or text 256 348 4631 i can txt pictures or email me”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
Includes an overdrive.
“Has small block 283 Chevy conversion. Probably done in the 60’s. Body is pretty straight. Needs rust repair but it is flat pieces of steel. Has swinging pedals and overdrive. Good Willys tailgate. It has been sitting for years, not running. First $1,000 takes. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** $600.
Motor still turns over.
“I have a 1948 Jeep Willys. the jeep ran when i parked it a year ago. still turns over but wouldn’t cank a few days ago when i tried.
