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 appears solid.
“This is a 1947 CJ2A, the first civilian jeep built. This jeep is pretty much complete and does run and drive. (smokes a little, especially when first started) It has the stock 134 flathead engine with 3 speed manual transmission, and 4 wheel drive. The body tub is decent and so is the frame. It would be a great jeep to restore! It has a new battery and I replaced the wheel cylinders and shoes, so the brakes work as well. Not pictured, but I have a complete set of seats with decent covers. I also have a hardtop that fits it for sale seperate. Call me for more information. Nathan 402-813-5312. I might be interested in trades…..”

“I have two Jeep CJ2A’s (?) that need to go to a good home. One is restorable and the other one is for parts. NEITHER OF THESE TWO JEEPS CURRENTLY RUN. Once again…..they DO NOT RUN. They need to be gone by the end of January or I will be forced to crush them for scrap. If you want them, please let me know. $800 cash for BOTH of them. I DO NOT have a title for EITHER one. Radiator and starter has been rebuilt for the green one so that I could pin point the engine noise in it which was a bad rod bearing. If you need more pictures, I will send them. If you want to call me, EMAIL me and I will give you my phone number. Better hurry because I need them to GO!!!! I think I hear the Jeep crusher coming now”
This is a good looking rig.

When someone lists a jeep as ‘professionally restored’, it is only natural that I’ll examine it a little more closely. It appears sound, but sports an early CJ-2A grille, doesn’t have the bow holders, and is missing, as best as I can tell, windshield wipers. The custom looks nice. The strangest issue, in my mind, is that there is white paint around the edges of the gauges (probably just taped off the gauges), which doesn’t look all that professional to me.
“1948 WILLYS JEEP MODEL CJ-2A 4 CYLINDER 4 WHEEL DRIVE,THAT HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY RESTORED TO SHOW CONDITION.WITH BEAUTIFUL RED PAINT (ORIGINAL COLOR) AND A NEW CONTRASTING ORIGINAL STYLE AND COLOR BLACK SEAT INTERIOR.

This is great! Looks like it could make a good restoration candidate.
“1947 Willys Overland CJ-2A. Purchased from a family that had owned it for 27 years. This vehicle was barn fresh. As sold to me it still runs just needs new gas tank and possible some starter work. Was driven around farm occasionally up until a few years ago. Was orginally owned by a Jeep Dealer in Colorado and still has advertising lettering very visible on body. All tires are good and hold air and also have a new spare with tube. Jeep is all original except previous owner put some new springs under it with shocks a few years back.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $450

“Your are looking at my 1947 Willys CJ3A that has been turned into the ultimate trail/rock buggy with the ability to cruise safely at freeway speeds all day long. It started as a 47 CJ then we stretched the frame 6″ for stability, put a Y modified 4 link with limit straps in the rear, flipped brand new leafs in the front (this is how street ability was kept….no bouncing here!). We put in hydraulic ram steering to make turning those 39″ pitbull tires effortless. Dana’s front and rear (locked), twin stick Spicer 20 transfer case with Warn overdrive unit, rock crushers, allied bead locked wheels, new 39″ pitbull tires, disc bakes up front, NEW Vortec 4.3L fuel injected crate engine, headers, magnaflow exhaust, extreme built TH350 tranny, Ron Davis Twin cooling system, Fuel cell with Holley Red pump, all cases vented, under hood back up mechanical gauges, fully intregated roll structure etc. Way to much to list. This was built with the best of the best, you will not simply break anything on this rig. Price is somewhat firm. I will look at all trades. Reason for selling: Local State trooper is stalking me for no mud flaps!!! Rig is in Idaho, but I have family in the bay area and can get it there no problem…”

“This jeep might be a M38 vin-ed as a cj2a, Im not an expert with these so it could be a late military jeep or the first civilian jeep made. This jeep is in great condition and runs strong, everything works except for the few following, the choke cable is broken so the choke is held wide open (not a big deal in AZ), the oil canister leaks a tiny bit but all it needs is a new O-ring/gasket (napa sells them), the transmission has a small leak or it could be the rear main seal not sure but I have both on order and should be here this week, the brakes need to be bled there is air bubbles in the lines so the bakes need to be pumped once to engage them. The seats are out of a cj5 but the original seat frames are still in place, all they need is new cushions. Other than this being 65 years old it is in great condition, there are a few small rust holes, 3 total about the size of a quarter. I bought this for a project and I do not have the time due to my work schedule, If you want to come look at it or go for a ride I can show you everything works including the 4 wheel drive high and low, The engine was rebuilt about 1000 miles ago. Please only call after 330 on weekdays but you can text me or email me anytime,”
