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 $1800.
(12/09/09) Not much of a description It looks pretty stock.
“RUNS GOOD, GOOD DRIVE TRAIN…NEEDS BRAKES”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(11/14/09) I don’t suppose it last ran when parked on the trailer?
“this willys ran when parked. It has a 4 cld.replacement moter 4 speed and is 4×4 everything works needs battery and air in tire tire has slow leak. will sell for 3,000 or best resonable offer will concider trade for older running crew cab pickup and will look at other trade options”
It appears complete. It’s not running. It might make a good trail jeep.

This looks in good shape, though note there is a hole in the gas tank.

“This kills me to do, but i need to knock down some debt. i have a restored 46 cj2a that i would like to sell. it has not been restored to original, but is exceptional none the less. everything was done 2 years ago. the windshield frame, fenders, and grill are all original. the tub was replaced, the engine rebuilt, wheels and tires replaced, new spare tire mount, new gas tank, all new seats, new glass, new top and doors, remote oilfilter kit, new battery, new brakes, basically the whole willys was rebuilt, except the transmission and transfer case. it runs the original flat head (rebuilt about 4-5k miles ago), tranny and transfercase, and axles. i have daily driven this for teh last 2 years during late spring, summer and early fall. it fires right up, runs smooth, sounds good, and has been perfectly reliable. the tires are 1.5 years old 30×9.50 bfg mudterrains mounted on 15” ford steel wheels. the whole jeep was repainted when the tub was replaced, and teh interior and fenderwells have all be sprayed with tinted spray in bedline to match the paint exactly.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** “Was $1000.
There’s been work done on the body. It sounds like the seller must sell before xmas, so this might become a great deal.
“My 1946 jeep is for sale, son decided to take apart and rebuild, and ran out of follow through! Engine and all parts are there, with several extra pieces and parts. Body parts sanded and primed. Jeep was running fine as we used it around the ranch, until he decided to “fix it up”. Flat head 4 cylinder, oil bath air cleaner, minimal rust. I believe it is a CJ2A civilian. Has a removable homemade hard top, 16” tires. Email me offers, has to go before Christmas day.”
It runs and drives, but the pedals are frozen? Can someone explain that to me …
“1947 Willys Jeep with Chevrolet 4 cylinder 153 engine. Has new Coil, plug wires, points and condenser. Runs and drives. Engine smokes some. Pedal assembly froze up and multiple rust perforations in floor. Has tow hitch brush guard and roll bar. I drove it last Saturday after Thanksgiving.”

There’s been some body work on this jeep. For example, note the sharp angle of the fenders rather than the normal smooth corner. The body drain holes are missing and there’s something unusual about the tailgate area.
“1948 JEEP WILLYS, 4X4, HAS APROX 2000 MILES ON ENGINE, NICE TOP, NEW PAINT”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
Checkout the positioning of the levers. What’s going on with that?

I recognize those seats, but this jeep must be listed under a new city this time.

UPDATE: Kaweh says he’s asking $380/obo for the Cab, which includes a windshield, good glass, wipers, parts, etc. It’s all there. If you are interested, you can email him at ketminan-rad@jccscpa.com.
Recently, Kaweh used eWillys to find this 1951 CJ-3A in Osbourn, Idaho. The owner named the jeep Leapin Lena. She owned the jeep for 50 years and made Kaweh promise that he wouldn’t change the jeep’s name.
The jeep came with a top that Kaweh doesn’t want. He’s included some pics below. He hasn’t determined a price yet, so if you are interested, drop a comment below and I’ll make sure he gets your information.
In addition, Kaweh is looking for a CJ-2A windshield. If you have one and aren’t too far away from Missoula, drop a comment below. Thanks!
About the top, Kaweh writes “The window on the driver side (not the driver door but the window in the cab itself) is cracked. Otherwise the cab is in great shape just needs some TLC and paint.” Kaweh and the top are located in Montana. The windshield that is currently on the Jeep is part of the cab (you can see how upright it is installed). The doors are in really good shape; even the insulation is still there.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.
“This is a fun little jeep. It has the 302 Ford V8 with conversion kit. It has been rhino lined both inside and out to prevent rust. It needs a little bit of work with the starter to get it working. Call or email with any questions. Thanks.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
“I have for sale a 1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A. The jeep is very solid. The only thing is the passenger fender is bent in. The engine is locked up but the engine, transmission, and transfer case are there. Would be a easy restoration with a new drivetrain. Has the split windshield frame. Asking $1000 obo.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800
Note the bottom blue tub. It has the custom dash that I’ve seen on 5 or 6 or jeeps from California. Also, it appears that it doesn’t have a driver’s side gas inlet as a part of the original design. Anyone know anything about these bodies?
“I have 2 1940’s willy’s tubs the one in the photo the grey one on top has fenders hood tub and windshield frame – needs grill and tailgate and the blue one on the bottum is just a tub I am willing to sell them together or apart please call.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
