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 $1000
The engine is in the back, but this thing looks in good shape. It looks like a deal.
“CJ2 jeep 1946, this is a builder the engine is in the back, see photo. I think the engine has been rebuilt. I took off the valve or tappet cover and it is clean inside. The outside of the block is also clean.”
UPDATE: Mike notes the general consensus on this VEC is that maybe only the frame and running gear is from the ’45.
With a serial number of 10,077, this is an early CJ-2A. Unfortunately, it appears someone spray painted this wildly. Interestingly, it is missing the tool indents.
“This Jeep is the 77th Civilian Jeep manufactured by Willy’s and includes a ” 3 Point Hitch ” for the Farmers of America. The engine is a “Flat Head 4 cylinder that runs good ….no smoke”. The shift for this jeep is a 3 speed on the column. The tires are new and are mounted on original solid Jeep rims. The brakes have been worked on. There has been some body work and the Jeep was painted recently. Mechanically the Jeep is in good condition but will require some tinkering (TLC)….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
This looks solid. I’m not sure what’s up with the headlights (covers perhaps?)
“1948 WILLIS JEEP RUNS GOOD, ALL ORIGINAL, AND NO SMOKE $3000 OR BEST OFFER”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
The good news is it runs. No title.
“Bought as a project last year, but don’t have the time for it. It was running, but the battery is weak, pushed it to start it. It is all original, but missing the windshield, oil bath air cleaner and gas tank. The body is in fair condition for the age. The floor pan either needs to be replaced or extensive work on the drivers side. I do not have the title, this jeep sat on a deer lease for a number of years. I paid $800 for the jeep last year, but am open to offers including possible trades for ???? Must get rid of soon.”
This looks like a good price.

Here’s another hunter out of Texas.
“For Sale 1946 Willys Jeep. Untitled and set up for hunting or ranching. Industrial foam filled tires-(NO FLATS). New springs front & back, New gas tank. New brakes front & back, new alternator. Newly rebuilt starter —-This jeep runs and works great, the only reason I want to sell it is to restore a CJ5 I just bought”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5000
(01/12/10) This CJ-2A has a few interesting features. One is the spare tire holder, which uses a strategy I’m considering for my build. Also, this jeep runs the treadwright retread tires.
“1949 CJ2A – Excellent (not perfect) condition. Has been redone from the ground up. A must see. Starts, runs, steers, brakes. Many features including a Warn overdrive, Tulsa Ramsey winch (electric), Saginaw steering, 12 volt electric system with alternator and modern lights. I have used it – it is not a garage decoration. Engine was torn down, did not need rebuilt/bored…and was filled with new parts. Transmission and Transfer case have been rebuilt. Has a dual master cylinder. Parking brake works.”

UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/06/09) I don’t anything to indicate this is a ’45 or a VEC. It appears the body is a replacement body. It appears in good shape.

“1947 Willy’s (Airport Jeep). Extremely rare designed and built for airport use. All original very good condition runs great! Not licensed or registered. Has been on the Klamath Falls airport for 50 years and in storage for the last 28 years!!!”
This looks like a great price. Maybe it doesn’t run?

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4250.
This looks like a good price on a nicely updated CJ-2A.
“47 Jeep Flat Fender with 350 fuel injected chev with T465 4sp and 205 transfer case. Detroit lockers front nd rear, marlin crawler alloy front axles, 35X12.5 tires (50%), power steering and brakes, Chev tilt wheel w/working turn sigs, amfmcd, tow bar, Best top & bimini top, 8000# Warn winch, aluminum radiator, heater & more. Will sell for 4250 which is much less than invested.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
(05/10/09) This jeep looks good. It appears to have an updated motor of some type as I think I see a header coming down on the passenger side. It doesn’t look like there’s a muffler attached to the header.
“I have been storing my fathers 1946 Willys hoping to one day restore it in his memory. Unfortunately, with the present economy I am not working and can’t afford the extra storage fee. It was last restored in 1989 so is in need of a facelift. It has a 350 small block with headers and custom built roll bar. If your a jeep lover you will be familiar with the Armstrong tires that it rolls on and the Warn wench that it has up front. Currentley, it is non-op and needs alittle TLC. It is very hard part with this vehicle so serious inquires only.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
(02/09/2010) It looks a little rough for $2k.
“asking $2,000 obo. i have the title and it turns over so i’m sure it will run”
There’s another pics here: http://fargo.craigslist.org/cto/1593226384.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
It’s not clean, but appears solid.
“1946 Willys. #47677. Mechanically original. Very straight & solid body. Adjustable seats in good condition. Original L head motor. Ran when parked quite a while ago. Always stored in doors. Excellent for restoration or building a classic rock crawler. ”

http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/cto/1601552861.html
It runs, but has to be compression started. It’s got the tool divets.

Besides two drivelines, this also appears to need seats.

UPDATE:**SOLD* Was $1500.
This is a project.
“Jeep – 1947 CJ2A. F-Head motor (not original). Engine just freshened new gaskets/ rings / cylinders honed / head rebuilt. Runs great, no smoke no problems. 3 speed standard transmission. 4wd low & high works. Transmission grinds a little but you would to if you were sixty three years old. Clutch seems to work fine. Frame is solid. A little surface rust but in great shape for it’s age. Interior could use some love. The drivers seat cover is pretty much non-existant, I’m not sure what gauges on the dashboard work, there not original though. Someone put a keg in the back for a gas tank. Body seems good for what it is … Price is $1500 obo. Don’t need to sell it… I bought it with intentions of fixing it up, rebuilt the engine and somewhat lost ambition. If I dont get what I want, within reason, I’ll just keep it. ”
UPDATE: more, bigger pics. The interior looks good and it has new gauges.
The windshield on this is pretty vertical. It appears in solid shape.
