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 $500
The seller claims the body condition is good.
“ok i have an old willys jeep in nice condition. does not currently run but its a great project jeep. very nice for the price. The body tub is in great condition no heavy rusting and overall is like i said nice. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2600
This has a fiberglass body and front clip that appears in good shape.
“1946 Cj2a willys jeep. Runs very good, motor has been freshly rebuilt. it has a fiberglass body, hood, and fenders, so no more rust…It will need seats.. Also has new exhaust.. frame is in great shape.”
It sounds like they just want to get rid of this. It appears complete.
“48 Willys that has been sitting for a while. We don’t know if it runs so its probably just good for parts. Make me an offer. 715 604 0073 please text if possible.”

Now that is a bent bumper …
“1947 Willy’s Jeep CJ-2A 12 volt flathead 4 cylinder. Extra chassis with transmission and top. Needs restoring. Runs good and 4 wheel drive works.”
That bumper looks suspiciously DJ-3A to me.
“I have a mostly complete CJ2A for sale, it’s just more of a project than I have time for right now. It has no engine or seats. There is a windshield frame but no glass in it. Has trans, transfer case, axles, etc. Steering is intact, it rolls and steers fine but one tire will only hold air for a few minutes. I have a spare front and rear that will go with it. NO TITLE.

You don’t see many Jeeps with a Datsun drive train.
“Fun times in this old Jeep. Drop the top, remove the doors, and enjoy the weather. Runs great. Has a ’76 Datsun B210 4 cyl. engine and auto. transmission.”
UPDATE: Was Make Offer. **SOLD**
This appears to be a late ’46/early ’47 CJ-2a.
“Willys jeep 4×4 for sale. Jeep is in the Sulphur Springs area. Extra parts include: engine head, fuel filters, coil, head light and more….”
Two sellers, who are also neighbors, each own a 1948 CJ-2A that they are selling. These are about 1/2 hour away from me. No images provided.
“My Jeep has the original 4 cylinder engine, the tub is not so good, but comes with an extra tub in good shape. No fuel tank. Will run, but needs work. $1000. Call 830-9597, if interested.

This Jeep was used as an advertising vehicle.
“This jeep is in AMAZING condition. It was a mid 90s restoration. Besides a few minor oil leaks this Jeep is ready to go. Love box company used it as an advertisment vehicle for years. Which explains the box graphics painted on the sides. The tires are new. The motor is a flathead 4cyl. It runs and drives great. Strong 4×4. Starts up everytime and goes down the road great. No rust on the vehicle at all. This is a must see for a collector. Ive seen similar CJ2A jeeps bring 12-15k. I would like someone to make me a reasonable offer. You wont be disappointed in this one. The restoration was deffinitely done right.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4500

This does not run.

This has a variety of mods.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $900.
(11/07/2010) This still has a little VEC left. SN# 14901.
“I have a project cj2a. It ran a little over a year ago when we started to take it apart to have the body redone. It needs new floor panels. The body and frame match numbers. I have everything for it. I personally just ran out of time. It is at the point where my mom wants it out of our garage. The frame motor trans are in great shape. The fenders are good and the windshield has good glass. It is #14901. Great project. I am asking 900 cash. I would consider partial trades but need at least 600 cash with the trade.”
This looks like it has an updated grille and windshield at the very least. It also has a rear PTO.

UPDATE: The original NelleBelle sold for $116,000 at Christie’s in the summer of 2010, which is much higher than the $20k-30k it was estimated it would bring.
Jim forwarded this for our viewing pleasure. So if I understand this correctly, this is a replica of Nellybelle, but wasn’t actually in the show? You can learn much more about NellyBelle and Roy Rogers and the CJ-3B Page.
‘This is the 1946 Willys CJ-2A Jeep named NELLYBELLE II, and made to replicate the jeep NELLYBELLE from the ROY ROGERS TV show from the 1950’s. It has been on display at the Roy Rogers/Dale Evans Museum in Branson,Mo. This is a piece of History of the 50’s Hollywood television history. It’s in excellent condition as it was at the museum as it has been garaged since we bought it. It starts fine but will smoke some,tires are a little dry.Has new brakes and drums, a new fuel pump. Beautiful piece of memorabilia to expose at parades,auto show,etc..”
