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 .

“1947 jeep cj2 f flat head 4 spd.. Shackle lift with 34×9.50 super swampers… Custom soft top, and heater… Otherwise mostly stock… Clear title… Far from perfect but plenty to work with… Starts, runs, stops… Good hunting rig. Currently gas tank needs to be drained of old gas, running on remote tank… I will attempt to correct that if it doesn’t sell first… I intended to keep but a little small for me🤣 $4000 bo/trade.”
Has a rear PTO. The front clip has been modified with a 3B hood, though the grille is a 2A grille that’s been raised. I’m pretty sure we saw the “red” version (bottom pic) of this for sale, but I can’t find it now. The current owner has yet to receive the title from the former owner.

This has potential. It includes a winch.
“1947 willies jeep, extra set of tires. Some tub rust. Winch, 4cyld flat head.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
This looks in good shape. The engine has a later model oil filter bracket, so the engine might not be original.
“Selling my 1948 cj2a. Was running great until a couple days ago. Won’t turn over or nothing. Lights won’t come on. Just had it tuned up and all the fluids changed about a month ago. Also put a new fuel pump in.Put new tires on it. Asking 8,000 obo Located in central Kansas”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1800.
(05/21/2021) It’s a project.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/254375243128717
“Motor turns freely and ran before tear down but due to carb leaking we didn’t run it long. Has lots of rust that someone doing the work themselves could fix but customer doesn’t want to dump more money than it’s worth done to fix it. Roll bar or seats are no longer available. All other still come with Jeep including data plates. Early 1946 with column shift, complete motor and drivetrain. I don’t think there’s anything else that I forgot. Floors have been patched but were done pretty crappy by just screwing metal over top of the cut out areas. It also still has fuel tank and storage box on passenger side. $2500 located in Longview Washington 98632. Edit…wheels and brakes are put back together and it is a rolling project now.”
This has potential (and some turbine rims).

“1947 Jeep Willys Complete
Needs Restoration”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800.
This lacks a title, but runs. The seller recently bought it, so may not know much about it.
“This Jeep was setting beside the neighbors barn at a property my son purchased. I love old Jeeps so I made him an offer. He said he had owned it for 20 years, hadn’t driven it for at least 10 years and couldn’t find the title.
Got it home, put in new spark plugs and gas and it started right up.
-It is completely original
-Flathead 4 cylinder, This is the famous L4-134 flathead engine, nicknamed “Go Devil” because of its
reliability.
-T90 transmission
-twin stick transfer case
-No holes cut in dash or anywhere else.
-It needs complete tune up. plug wires, points, distributor cap, etc. and a carburetor rebuild. It runs rough.
-I put on a set of roller tires. They are good to drive around on but they don’t make it look good.
– rust in the usual places, but one of the least rusty Jeeps I have owned.
-This would make an excellent hunting rig
Again, NO TITLE”

“1947 Jeep Willys CJ2 for sale. $15k OBO
I am listing on behalf of a friend who has moved away.
Solid body and frame. Runs and drives well – only known issue is that one of the brakes starts to get sticky after longer drives. It was substantially rebuilt from the ground up about 5 years ago.
Otherwise, it’s in good shape and my friend would love for it to go to a Jeep enthusiast who can give it the love and enjoyment it deserves.”
The floors have been replaced/patched.

Ready for your tires of choice and body work, or just take it out as is. No title, you will need to get a bonded title from DMV if you want to put it on the road. You will have more fun with this than a modern side by side and make new friends as well. Cash or cashiers check.”
