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 $1995.
(01/26/2010) Looks good. The seller notes this has a 3A body.

“Willys Jeep cj2a-mechanically good, body fair to good. Has a cj3a windshield installed, comes with but not installed rollbar assy, sidesteps, no top but a new all weather cover,it has later cj 15 inch wheels and almost new m&s tires (also comes with 5-16 inch jeep wheels), all 4 new springs (mounted on another Jeep but never ran), front hubs, diamond plate rear body covers (not installed) a really nice tow bar and towing lights plus lots of other Jeep parts.”
This might be a good price.
“Runs good, i drove it around town before it got t o cold. Everything works but a couple of the gauges and brake lights. I’ve put everything from plugs and wires to carb. rebuild, bearings in the front end, hoses and belts, lights. Gas tank rusted out so i put a plastic one in for now. I have the windsheild just hadn’t had time to put it in. Email me at jrmycone@yahoo.com for more pics”

This looks to have a replacement body.
“1948 Jeep Willy’s CJ2A. This jeep has been fully restored around 10 yrs ago. It had 10,000 dollars put into it. It is in extremely good shape and virtually rust free. The paint is still in excellent shape. It has been converted over to 12VDC so as to make it easier to start, especially in cold weather. It has a flathead 4cyl, and runs excellent. The 4 wheel drive works great and shifts smooth. The gear ratio is 5:38. It has been stored indoors. The only trades I am interested in would be a 3/4 to 1 ton 4X4 truck either chevy, gmc, or dodge. Of equal value.
If interested please call Mike at 859-797-3830 or Bill at 859-797-1411 NO CALLS AFTER 9:30PM.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1300
This looks stock and rough.
“Old Army style Jeep. Has plow with hydraulics. Needs carb cleaned and hoses replaced to make run. I bought to use this winter but am not putting the time forth to work on it.”
It doesn’t run.
“jeep willys 4500 obo hasnt run in a year call 9289414439 or text 9282460859”

UPDATE: **SOLD** was priced at $2000. This is a no-glove-box slat grille MB.
Dexter forwarded the pics and noted, “This guy sent me lots of pics. It’s an early slat without a glovebox. The engine number is I10885, which puts it in the “no glovebox category.” The 10,885th slat made.”
“1942 willy’s Jeep L134 engine runs & drives.”

UPDATE: Was $2000. **SOLD**
(12/10/2010) The head is off, but this sure looks solid.
“This jeep is all original.Most of its life has been in eastern washington,so there is very little rust.The engine head is off because of a bad head gasket.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
“I have for sale and old army jeep, and a lot of spare parts, I would be good for a farther and son project its been in the shead for the last two years and I don’t have the time. i have posted pictures and it would be a pick up so if you live around Milwaukee racine or kenosha that would be good. Thanks. Larry.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $850.
There’s some value here.
“1949 Willey’s CJ – 2A Jeep; Good Title; No motor – set up for Chevy V8; Special hill climbing transmission; Frame & axles sandblasted and rust proofed with POR 15; All sheetmetal sandblasted (Top & Bottom); 2 sets fenders – fiberglass & steel; Toebar & winchplate; Southern vehicle – other parts available. ”
UPDATE: Lester reports this *might* be a scam, as 936 is a Texas area code rather than a Iowa code. Of course, cell numbers are so portable, of which I’m a perfect example (I have a cali area code), that it’s not a definitive sign.
No pics. The seller will text a pic. I’m gonna guess this is either a MB/GPW or CJ-2A.
“It needs some work. Its seventy years old. The body is in good shape for the age. It has the origanal engine, trany, as far as I know. Can send pic text. Call or text Joel 936-230-4650”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5900

(01/21/2010) It last ran 3 years ago.

http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/cto/2116876092.html
This needs work and is priced a bit high for a project; however, I’m betting this has a variety of drive train updates.
“Project for the Jeep enthusiast! Has been sitting in shop for a while, husband passed away, he started work on it, never finished. Call for what info you want….

UPDATE: Still Available
(08/03/2010) It runs and drives, but sure won’t win a beauty contest.

This looks sound.
“Engine Purrs Nice, Foot Brake pressure hard to apply. Please Call Jon : @ 575-613-2897.”
http://santafe.craigslist.org/cto/2114245999.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $20,000
(12/15/2015) It looks nice; is this missing the rear bow holder?
“this is a frame off total restoration with full documentation. i am the second owner. the jeep is totally original with only 500 miles on the rebuilt motor. it is in mint condition, like rolling off of the dealers show room!!”
UPDATE: Status unknown. Was listed at $2000.
(12/08/2010) I’m guessing this is either a MB/GPW body or a DJ body. It has seriously funky front and rear bumpers. The way the front bumper connects is also a little odd. Price isn’t bad though.
“VIN: CJ2A168524. 5 SPEED, 4X4, V8 AND RUNS WELL BUT HAS TWO CONCERNS: NEEDS BRAKES, AND HAS A SLIGHT ANTIFREEZE LEAK. THIS IS OUR COST ON THIS UNIT AS IT WAS A TRADE IN. FOR MORE PICTURES CLICK HERE: http://www.ronjohnsonauto.com/WILLYSJEEP.html .”
