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** the listed price was $800. Purchased by an eWillys reader. Note the circles on the sides. Learn more about this jeep in the comments.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2400.
The seller says the entire body is painted with bed liner. I’m assuming that means the outside too? I’m hoping my assumption is wrong, as the body looks straight and clear of rust.

Here’s a jeep plus a ’43 body that looks in at least reasonable condition.
“This is a solid 1948 Jeep CJ2A. . Everything is there including a clear title…the frame is solid…does have a cracked windshield.

(11/20/09) A restorer’s dream? Well, it does look pretty stock, but I wouldn’t call it dreamy.

It doesn’t look to bad compared to some I’ve seen today.

Motor & Hubs had been rebuilt years ago. Hasnt been ran in a few years But use to run great. Needs gas tank & brake work. Dont think it would take much to get it running.Family lost interest in it & left it to me. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
(08/30/09) I’ve never heard of Ronald. It appears to be next to Roslyn, Wa (the stand in town for the TV series Northern Exposure).
“48 Willys, original except for the 289 V8 and the front bench seat. $3000 obo. May trade for same value 2 horse slant load trailer.”
UPDATE: Something strange is going on .. this jeep is listed below for $2000 in Chico. On eBay it is listed for a single bid of $5500.
This looks a good price on a CJ-2A. This is listed as a ’43, but I see nothing to indicate that this is anything other than a CJ-2A.
“Turn key ready to go. Overdrive works great. Transfer case smooth and easy. Converted 12 volt system. Immaculate seats and back seats. L4-134 purrs like a kitten.
*Less than 7500 miles on rebuilt original L4-134 (four cylinder) engine *A rebuilt carburetor *All steering components are either new or rebuilt *New speedometer and cable *A new radiator *A new master cylinder *New windshield and rubber *original four speed transmission and overdrive *Two speed heater *New floor pans *Canvas soft top *Upholstery and tires in good condition * AM radio, C.B. ready *Tow bar and trailer hitch *Epuipped for hunting with rear mounted deer deck *Interior lights, lights under hood and back up lights *Gas, amp and water temperature gauges *Two locking tool boxes mounted inside the jeep *Two five gallon powder coated gas cans mounted on the rear with locks *The jeep comes with more that $500.00 worth of spare miscellaneous parts *11″ brakes not installed, but still in the box *PTO *The jeep is in excellent condition and has been hightly maintained and serviced on a regular basis. Only addition I put on are knew front hubs. We are not using it. This jeep needs a great home. The only flaw is that hood could use new paint. There are a couple of paint chips. Machanically it is in great condition. For more info you can call or text me at (530) 906-2229 my name is Scott”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(10/22/09) There’s something growing out of the driver’s side fender ….. This seller is selling about 5 other jeeps (CJ-5s) on ebay as well.
“1946 Willys cj-2a column shift jeep. No engine is installed, just the original transmission and rest of drivetrain. Unfortunately, no serial number plates have been left on this jeep. Many very good parts like the hood, grill and fenders. Complete column shift linkage and working transmission is also present. Frame is very good, except for one of the front horns where some metal was welded on to reinforce one side. Looks like it should be removable with frame remaining intact. Snowplow lift is bolted on. The body has rust in the front floors and on the side bottoms. Body can be restored with repairs in the front floor area and the right rear corner. Rear area is pretty good and amazingly not dented up.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
It runs and drives. The motor appears to be an inline six of some kind. And, where did they put the radiator? It’s got hydraulic swing clutch and brake pedals. There was some work done to this jeep at some point.
“46 Willys Navy Jeep, chevy 6cyl , jeep trans and T-case, nice alum hard top &doors. This jeep has been sitting for years but runs and drives”
