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 .
Pics are a bit blurry.

“Hunting jeep great shape. It runs!!needs brakes. Have master cylinder Make an offer”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4250.
It doesn’t run. The floor has been rebuilt, but it wasn’t rebuilt to any standard specs, nor does the floor sit over the frame on hat channels.
“1948 Willys Jeep. Clear Texas Blue Title in my name. Original engine, transmission and transfer case. Motor spins freely. Clean, clear oil and water. Hundreds of new parts. Perfect frame. Has unknown transmission issue. Class 3 2” receiver hitch, great brakes. Body has been professionally re-floored. Larger seat recesses already done. Real nice potential for restoration or just enjoy.

Feel free to PM me or call me directly to come and see the jeep. It is located on our ranch in May, Texas.”
The rust-colored 2A is a column shift, but not a VEC. It also may have the Hudson steering mod. It’s rim style is hard to find, too. Not sure how much value is actually here though.

“1946 keep Willy. Parked 2 years ago and it ran. I think all it needs is a new carburetor and some TLC. Open to offers No low ballers! Very rare item I know what it’s worth. Have been putting off selling it for years but just don’t have the time to make it look pretty again!”

“48 Willys CJ-2A with a title in my name.
Rough shape but all there except interior.
All drivetrain is there. The engine is newer not the original flat head. Has an over head valve engine that I’m pretty sure is bad. Does have a rare hardtop with one door that’s in bad shape but probably fixable.
I’ve owned the jeep for years and realized I’m not going to have time to do anything with it.
Looking for $1000 will negotiate in person if you’re interested.
Feel free to call or text me with any questions.”
The price appears to be for both. No pics provided.

“This is a 1948 Willys CJ2A with a 3A windshield
It runs and drives great starts right up with no issues
Plenty of power for an old Willys
55MPH all day long if you would like
At some point, a previous owner swapped the original engine for a Chevy 4 Cylinder MERC engine!
Has the original carb and transmission and they work great!
It’s a blast to drive
Comes with a tow bar
New Battery
Comes with the soft top two doors and a Koenig Hardtop (Which needs a bit of work but not much at all )
Different gas tank has been installed in the back. This has an inline 6 engine.
https://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/cto/d/phoenix-1947-willys-jeep-cj-2a/7416454581.html
“This listing is for a 1947 Willys Jeep. The Jeep has been in my possession or my father’s position for a very long time. It was in my father’s garage in Prescott forever and we brought it down here to Phoenix. It has a new battery but needs some overall work. The engine will crank and start but does not keep running. Most of the items on the Jeep are not original – notice the newer wheels etc. However, the battery, upholstery and windshield are fine. Headlights, taillights and blinkers all work fine. It does not have the original engine – the original engine would have been a 4 cylinder. This has a 6 cylinder and I am pretty sure it is from a Studebaker. The odometer gauge does not work and it says 21,227 but I’m sure there are more miles on it than this. I am hoping to sell this to an individual who is into Jeeps – I don’t need help selling it and I am not looking to trade it in – so no dealer emails. Thanks.”
It’s worth some more pics.
