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 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.

(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…..”

(09/05/09) This looks in pretty good shape. If the rust situation is good, this might be a good price. Cats sold separately?

This CJ-2A looks good. The seller reports this has a knock; it might be worth checking the harmonic balancer to see if that’s causing the problem.
“1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A – Clear Title (In my name)

(07/13/2010) Samuel Clemens (aka Mark Twain) once said that the coldest winter he ever experienced was a summer in San Francisco. Well, I lived in Aptos (just south of Santa Cruz, Cali) for several years and I’d argue it’s summers were every bit as cold or colder than SF when that damn fog rolled in, which seemed to be every evening! Fortunately, I only had to drive to the next town (1 mile away) and the fog would disappear …
Anyway, here’s a nice looking CJ-2A that lived somewhere close to where I was (aptos is a pretty tiny town).
“1947 Willy’s jeep original everything, under 8k miles been garaged most of it’s life and really wants to go 4 wheeling. no rust, no dents engine still looks shiny and new. If you have wanted a Willy’s this is your chance to start with the original right down to the military style tires! everything works great, runs great just needs a home with less vehicles so it can be driven. Paid 8k for this awesome truck back a few years ago it has been driven twice since then. I just don’t have the time and too many cars. So come give this little red jeep a good home I would like to get 6000. but will consider all offers. I can hear her crying in the garage wanting to go out to the wide open trails, someone come help her out.”
UPDATE: Was $1000. **SOLD**
This looks rough.
“1948 cj2a 4×4. Has original engine, starts but smokes. considering all offers. have title. Vehicle sold as is and would need to be towed. asking 1000 obo”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5400.
I sure think that is a fiberglass body. I don’t see any body seams.
“Clear AZ title.1948 Willy’s flat fender JP body style, strong stock running gear. I recently replaced all steering linkage, Battery, alternet-regulator and Brake master cylinder. Immaculate apperance, body and interior.”

This appears to be a collection of Jeep parts, probably based around a CJ-3A.
“For sale: 1940s to 1950’s Jeep. Rebuilt Ford 260 C4 transmission. Lots of new parts. Over $6000 invested. Asking $3000. Call 603 491 0731.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was7500.
(10/10/09) There’s nothing I see to indicate this is a M-38 body, accept for the dash panel. But, it’s missing the battery box lid, the jockey box in the dash, drain holes, and a gas inlet at the very least.
“Up for sale is a nice 1946 Willys the original four cylinder is out and I have it but there is a V-6 under the hood and runs out good with lots of power. It is a M-38 Military body. There are 35-12.5-15’s on the jeep now but I also have a new set of 31”s for the jeep if you want smaller tires. This is ONE SWEET JEEP!!! Call for more Imf. ”
UPDATE: This is back on eBay
“1946 CJ2A. Western vehicle, stored winters, very solid. Has three speed column shift. Comes with both aluminum hard and original soft top. Heater works. Jeep is blue, but original green paint shows in some locations. Third photo shows tool box floor – only surface rust, not rusted through like you find in many. Family owned for many years prior to my purchase. Starts and runs, stops fine. Shifting is a bit tricky and could use adjustment, but otherwise good to go. This was going to be a keeper, but unfortunately I need to sell. I’m pretty firm on price, but will entertain reasonable offers. Serious inquiries only please. I prefer if you contact me on my cell phone 608-212-3995 with questions.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200
(10/05/2010) This appears to be a project.
