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 $15,000
(10/25/2010) This has the 3 data plates, so it’s a pre #46000ish CJ-2A. The driver’s side has seen a major repair. It also has a rear PTO.

“1948 Willys CJ2A – $1000 cash firm – M38 Tub – Rough condition but fun – L head engine – T90 tranny and T18 transfer case – plates good until 3 – 2012
*This has rust and is not in restorable shape* It has been my daily driver for over 9 months. I have recieved about 4 calls and the first question being asked is “Does the tub have rust”. Please consider the cost of the parts included which is well above what I am asking for this fun old willys. Thanks.
This was my daily driver until the electrical went out. In the process of replacing the solenoid, coil and distributor the old 6 volt starter went out. New Solex carb, distributor, coil, solenoid, tie rod set, front knuckle seals, tranny seals, transfer seals, front and rear diff seals, spark plug wires, clutch bell crank kit, brake pedal, clutch cross shaft and new master cylinder. Also included are 4 new shackles with LH and RH thread to replace the “redneck’ lift. A set of new 4 Ubolts for the rear axle. There is a new set of front 8 leaf springs which were supposed to be rear ones but Crown sent the wrong ones. I wanted to change out the wrong rear springs. Radiator needs to be patched driver’s side bottom and a new choke cable along with the starter problem.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4200.
Can’t say I’ve seen anything quite like this mod.
“Classic 1948 Jeep CJ3A. Mostly original, including motor. 12V conversion, saginaw steering. Always garaged. 42,000 original miles. 3rd owner. No rust, never wrecked. You won’t find a cleaner original 1948 jeep.”

(05/04/2010) There’s some nice updates on this rig, including an updated dash. You couldn’t build this for that price.

Daniel has his CJ-2A for sale. He’s says that it is solid and runs good, though a previous owner did some strange alterations to the fenders and steps.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
This still needs some work. I can’t tell if this has tool indents or not.
“Beautiful jeep, good condition. Needs some work to get it running. Also garage kept.”
This might make a good restoration project. The body has some rusty surface, but appears solid otherwise.
“cj2a is a original condition easy restore. email any question or to come see it. Ed”

(02/05/2010) This has got a great sounding drive train. There’s still some work left on this rig.
“I have a 1946 CJ2A that orginally came from CA. It has been on the Rubicon, down to Pismo Beach and many CA jeep runs. It has competed at Weiser in the Sand Drags and Hill Climbs and in the Mud Boggs in the Boise Pavillon, years ago. I purchased this jeep in 1987. Rebuilt the motor in the 90’s. Has only about 100 miles since the rebuilt. This is what the purchase includes: 1946 CJ2A body, all lights and hardware removed and body sand blasted, no rust, small amount of bondo, but body straight, fiberglass hood, winshield intacted no cracks. 1964 Ford 289, rebuilt, Cobra Intake, Cobra Valve Covers, Cobra Oil Pump, bronco air filter, 4 speed, Warn Overdrive, Posi 4:56 gears, dual shocks at each wheel, small lift, but very stiff suspension, custom dash with Stewart Warner gages (5). Bucket Seats, back seat with storage box, roll cage, battery mounted in rear tub,spare tire carrier with CB antenna mount, and spare. Old 11×15 on 15 inch rims Armstrong Tru Tracs, Set of Dick Cepek 14.50x 15 Sand Paddles on 15 inch rims (old). This jeep isn’t perfect:, brakes should be replaced, final sanding and paint, all hardware and lights reinstalled, and the radiator has a small pin hole leak. If you are looking for a jeep to drive in the hills, sand. or rocks this is the jeep. If you are looking for something to drive on the street look at something else.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
(10/27/2010) This has an unusual rear bumper.
“1947 Willys CJ2A, mostly all stock, 134 ci flat 4 cyl, 3 speed , 4X4, street legal, clear title, registered as antique so no inspection only needs registered every 5 years, starts and runs great, drives nice, new exhaust, new steering stabilizer, new tires- 31×11.5 super swampers on 15×8 black steel wheels, factory tires and rims also included, leaks some oil, body and frame in good shape, brakes need serviced. Speedometer and oil pressure gauges work. Floor has been replaced at some point in the past but parts of the old floor are still connected underneath and could use removing.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is definitely not ALL stock. In particularly, check out the funky way the windshield rotates up. It’s been connected to a bracket that rotates.
“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A. This Willys is in GREAT condition it does run but does not drive, I was told from the guy I bought it from that the issue was in the transfer case. It has no rust, Mileage is unknown. This Jeep is stock except it has been switched over to 12v battery.”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $450
(05/21/2009) It appears this body sports an early CJ-2A body with a VIN number of 11891 (though the seller believes it to be a 1947 body). At the very least, it’s got the driver side cutouts to validate the VIN number. It’s hard to tell what else is original.
“This jeep was a project vehicle for our prop building studio. It was intended to be used in parades, promotional pictures, and promotional videos as a Cobra runabout. We got this far, before we just didn’t have the spare cash or time to pour into it any longer. Serial Number appears to be 11891. The plate is still in place on the dash, but is pretty weathered, so the last digit may be off. You can judge for yourself, as I have added a pic of the Serial # plate…..”
