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 $2000.
(09/02/2010) This might not be a bad price.

Brett spotted this .. something’s not quite right. This jeep was recently in Cave Creek, Az, at a price of $10,000 (http://www.ewillys.com/?p=33651). What’s it doing in Booneville for $1500? Has to be a misprint? 2 of the pics are the same in both ads.
“Ive own this version of Nellybelle for 25 years and it is time for it to find a new home. It is a head turner for those of us who remember Roy Rogers. It is titled and ready to drive or display. if interested.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $5000.
Both run, both appear in good shape. This might be a very good deal as the seller is throwing in additional parts.
“TWO 1948 Jeep Willy’s, both run, good for collectors, on the road or off road fun. Assorted hard to find spare parts also included. Upholstry in very good condition, no rips or tears. Tires in excellent condition. Additional information available.

Bill is looking for a CJ-2A body in reasonable shape. Contact him at bcarter702 [at] hotmail.com if you think you have something interesting.

Not much room between the rear tires and the body.
“i am selling my 1948 willys jeep it has been a great little 4×4 but i dont use it that much anymore so time to let it go runs and looks great 3 speed 4×4 everything works is a great toy to have”
This looks pretty rough. If it has no papers, than I’m not sure how the seller knows it is a ’42?
“It is a 1942 willys was used in ww|| powerful lil 4 cyl runs great new clutch needs work good for project or work horse has plow set up no plow call 631 745-5373 no papers”

(07/20/2010) “one of the badest jeep stands next to the best in america… not a scratch… 350 chev.. all brand new… flawless in every way”
Colin’s friend Al has got a nice collection of Willys. Colin forwarded a few pics of Al’s jeeps with some notes. Nice looking vehicles Al!
Colin writes, “I attached a photo of a CJ2A [al toy] that I did for a buddy of mine sitting on the hood of his August-built 1945 CJ2A with column shift, rebuilt with a lot of the leftover MB stuff that Willys used to get the first CJs on the road.
Al also has a 47 2WD wagon, a 49 Willys truck and a 49 Jeepster that is undergoing a repowering with a 55 Chrysler 331 Hemi, 727 trans, Mustang II front suspension and 56 Corvette rear end. Aside from body work and paint, Al does all the work himself and does an excellent job. The shot of the wagon with whitewall tires is the same wagon. Amazing what a set of wide whites will do for a car.”
This looks like a good price.

“1947 Jeep.

Great projet!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
Here’s a good looking flattie with a fiberglass body. This might be a good price.
“the jeep has a 4 cyc ford motor 3 speed trans. 4×4 all works good the body is fiberglass all in good shape has a heater late steering gear box highway gears”
This also includes a rebuildable MB/GPW of some sort. No pictures of that.

This doesn’t run at the moment.
“1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A Service Manuel Included. 3 Speed Stick Shift. NOT RUNNING. Motor is all here but it is apart. Newer Tires. If Interested Call And Make Me An OFFER. ”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1650.
(07/05/2010) This looks good, though it needs the gas tank replaced.
“Selling a 1947 Willys CJ2A. Runs good and the 4 wheel drive works great. All lights work, headlights, tail lights, brake lights, turn signals and dash light. Heater works great. Steering is sloppy, interior floor could use some work, seats torn up (not original). Fuel tank removed, using portable boat tank now. I do have two fuel tanks, but they need work. Inner windshield frame needs work or replacing. Have extra windshield frame, modified to single glass. Windshield wiper motors need replacing. Would make a great wheeler or great for restoration project. Have title. Asking $1650 OBO. Am looking for guns, Ford Bronco or Ford F150 short bed (only 4×4) in trade, either part or straight across. Don’t have what I am looking for, shoot me an email with pictures, most I can say is NO. Rigs must run. Let me know what you have. Call Phil at 503-359-4520.”

UPDATE: Robert reports he sold this.
(07/31/2010) There is some surface rust, but the front clip looks pretty straight.
“This is a 1948 Willys CJ2A with spare tire mount on left side (lefty). Solid frame with some rust in tub. It does not run and will need engine work. Please e-mail with questions.”
Jeep Number 3 is a 1965 CJ-3B, based on the serial numbers from the CJ-3B Page, and not a CJ-3A as listed by the seller.
“Jeep Number 1: CJ5 – Blue, no title, no VIN tag or data plate, no axles, no engine, just a body. Most likely late ’70’s.
Jeep Number 2: CJ2A – Red, no title, no VIN tag or data plate, complete with engine but missing crank. Both axles, complete running gear. Most likely around 1947 due to round recessed turn signals.
Jeep Number 3: CJ3A – Red, no title, VIN: 8105 118510 – complete with engine. Both axles, complete running gear. Most likely around 1949.
Jeep Number 4: CJ2A – Yellow/Green, no title, VIN: 60979 – complete with engine (engine has been removed) Both axles, complete running gear (transfer case in bed). Most likely around 1946.
I will throw in additional axles, driveshafts, motor, and a couple transfer cases…”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
There’s some value here given the rebuilt running gear, tranny and tc.
“1948 Willys flatfender Jeep. No motor, but I have a totally rebuilt T-90 transmission and rebuilt Dana/Spicer 18 transfer case. Has totally rebuilt dana 44 rear axle and rebuilt Dana 25 front end.

(05/25/2010) “1946 CJ2a, 1968 ford engine (runs) . Needs brakes, windshield, some body work. Painted as WWII Military. 203-4078450, after 5pm.”
http://catskills.craigslist.org/cto/1919293608.html
UPDATE: *SOLD** Was $4500.
This isn’t quite original, but looks good.
“This first civilian version of the US Army Jeep remains in near original state. I have the original front and back seats. The Willys was stored indoors since 1998. I replaced the master cylinder, wheel cylinders, cleaned the fuel system, rebuilt the carburetor, put in fresh plugs, points, rotor, capacitor and distribution cap. The 6 volt system operated the lights and starts the Willys with ease. The differential lube has been changed as well as fresh oil in the motor. The original style tires are mounted with tubes and hold air, but I’m not sure how road worthy they would be. The picture shows just how original this Willys actually is. It would make a great ranch or hunting Jeep. It comes with tow bar not pictured. Asking $4500 or best offer, but don’t hesitate to make a reasonable offer.”
