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 .
It looks it good condition. It’s got the f-head telescope.
“1946 willys cj2a its in great condition and the color of it is red with a brand new cloth top running gears work perfect and 4 wheel drive works perfect..and new breaks,head lights,paint job..and has a L134 engine.”

“Jeep 1946 Willys CJ2A. Tub is in fair to moderate condition. Fenders, grill, tailgate in good condition. Windshield frame in moderate condition – there is some rust on the lower portion, but the split glass is intact and the venting mechanism is intact. Frame is in great shape. Transmission shift tower has some slop in it, but internals are fine. Transfer case seems fine. No known issues with the axles. Engine does not currently run, but I imagine it would if it was wired. Engine is not locked, and it has a Supersonic head. Intake and exhaust manifold are new. Starter and generator have been rebuilt. It has new wheel cylinders on the back and new brake drums. Master cylinder needs replaced or rebuilt and brake lines need to be replaced. Seats appear to have been recovered recently with olive canvas. Gas tank and radiator are there and appear to have no holes. Comes with tow bar. I do not have a title. All VIN plates are intact and I will provide a SC Bill of Sale. I am also in the market for a new manufactured 6 X 12 mesh floor trailer that I would consider towards sale.
Hey, it runs; what more do you want?
“Up for sale here is a 1947 willy’s hard-top jeep. Bought 35 yrs ago and used during hunting season thru the 70’s and into the 80’s in upper Pa where I have family.

It doesn’t run, but appears complete. Based on the year, I’d say this is a CJ-3A, but the bow holders on the driver’s side suggest CJ-2A.
“It’s a pretty great jeep. I really, REALLY hate having to sell it but, as we all know the economy sucks. Anyways, about the jeep: Of course it doesn’t run it’s been sitting for about 2 years, under cover about 1 year 6 months. Mostly electrical work is needed, and I imagine there is a load of work to be done under the hood. Ran and drove 2 years ago. Stock cover is still in great condition, just needs a thorough wash. Interier is dusty and smelly. Hundreds of extra parts laying around. (Doubles of what’s on the jeep already). NOT a parts vehicle, or un-finished project. Just needs a good strong elbow or two on her for a while.
Will most likely need all 4 new tires, but they haven’t been filled with air in a long time so they might still work, who knows Lol. All are welcome to take a look if you like, shoot me an offer first and we’ll see where we can go from there.”

Check out the knob sticking out of the emergency brake hole. What is that? Also, the carburetor just barely sticks out of the hood. I suspect the air cleaner attaches above the hood? The seller notes that with the exception of the engine, everything is original, which isn’t true.
“This jeep is in good condition with a 52 overhead valve engine, everything else is original…Steering has been rebuilt…new battery…This has the 4 wheel drive with low and high…and it works good.. It shows 36967 but I can’t confirm this. This would make a great hunting/fishing jeep or one to just have fun in…thanks for looking..rudy”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $700.
This looks like a good price for a project jeep.

It’s a parts jeep. Note the later model drive train from a CJ-5. I’m not sure what’s attached to the back of the jeep.
“clean out garage have to may project going on 1947 willys jeep for sale NO TITLE . Has dauntless v6 last run last summer .. All jeep drive train form a cj5 have everthing .”
This runs and is supposed to be 98% rust free. Might be a good deal. That’s not the original engine, but at least there’s no hole in the hood!

There’s little I find interesting, except those headlight bezels. Those look like 5 1/2 bezels in reasonable condition. NOT easy to find!
