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 .
There’s been some body work if this is truly a CJ-2A body. There was no description of any significance. You can view more pics and contact information here.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
“Excellent example of a 1946 Jeep Willys. It has been converted to a 12 volt system. Body is in good condition, runs and drives good. Interior is in good condition. It has only been driven a few miles as an occasional Sunday drive. The jeep used to have the red carpet in the back, I took it off, and the floor is amazingly solid. This rare CJ2A is currently registered and driven, also comes with custom tow bar.”
This looks to be a good price. This might have been one of the ’48s with the spare on the driver’s side and the bow top holders on the passenger side.
“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A. Runs great; Low time on rebuilt engine; New brakes; Reupholstered seats. 715-822-8394”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $850
It’s complete and runs, but need work.
“Decent condition 1948 CJ2A. Seats need to be refinished but frames are still there, and some body work will have to be done in the normal areas. Has spare tire carrier on back gate. Has full hard top. Started to break it down for restore but another vehicle caught my fancy. Engine smokes a little and carb has been taken off to soak. All the parts are there.”
It looks like a tiny periscope sticking out of the hood. Otherwise this looks solid.
“1947 CJ-2A Willys Jeep 4×4. Rebuilt engine, hubs, and brakes. Gone through. Tow bar. $3000.00 obo Carl 970-785-6121”
I’m pretty sure the other stuff isn’t included.
“Came from CJ2a should fit 3a. Needs Sanding and a coat of paint”
No doubt the price will drop, but it’s a good looking jeep.
“This Jeep is a CJ-2A Jeep Willy, made after WWII, the CJ stands for civilian jeep and was based on the ones used in WWII. This Jeep was fully restored by its previous owner, a former military mechanic who spent a lot of time restoring this vehicle and making it run amazing. After his death his wife sold it to us because we were friends and her kids didn’t want it. Runs amazingly, fully restored and hasn’t been driven off road since restoration, no scratches dings or even tears in the seat cushions, an instant parade, car show or whatever vehicle, this was the original ATV and can go anywhere you want it to, asking $18,000 for it, reasonable offers will of course be considered, email me for more info, pricing, pics or whatever. Email me at Hekatonheres@gmail.com thanks for looking”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Listed at $1400
It runs. It even stops now.
“I bought this Jeep twenty years ago and rebuilt the engine. Since then I have only used it to plow snow in the driveway. I recently replaced the brake wheel cylinders and two brake lines to get the brakes to work. I used it 20 years without brakes; I never went fast enough that I couldn’t stop by lowering the snow blade. The lights don’t work; I never needed them. I never had it registered on the road. There is still a license plate on it from 1976. I imagine that was the last time it was registered”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
“This is a running street driven crawler , needs some TLC that is why I have dropped the price , I am going to have back surgery and can no longer work on or enjoy it . Have over 12k in to building it and saved most recites . My loss is your gain and is a must sell right now.”
I am guessing the year of this jeep based on the serial number and the CJ-2A website production serial numbers. This jeep includes a Monroe Lift.
“Nice CJ2A Willys Agri-jeep with a Monroe lift. starts and runs good. Monroe lift has been off of the jeep since the mid 1970s. The previous owner used it to run a bush-hog cut fields. Hydraulic hose are dryrotted and needs replaced. Tires and spare in good condition. comes with air cleaner, hydraulic pump (missing rubber bushing), resivor and control valve, PTO belt drive, PTO V belt pully. The body has rust and is not straight at all. Paint less that fair. leaks oil. It needs restored but i don’t have the time to dedicate to this project.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1300
I’d like to take a closer look at this one. I suspect this might be an ambulance or troop carrier of some kind.
“1948 willys jeep with a Ford bronco v6 engine. Was running and being used when an axle broke. Has been parked since, about 10 years. Comes with lots of extras including tranfer cases, transmissions, a hard and a soft top, blade hardware and odds and ends.”
I can’t tell if this is a road ready jeep or still a project, though I think it’s the latter.
“I have a 1948 Willys CJ-2A civilian Jeep. The Willys is a project meant for that one person that has the time and passion to work on it. I myself have spent endless amounts of time,money and passion into it. Due to college expenses I do need to sell it, I will only sell it locally and if you are out of state I would love to make arrangenents to conclude a deal here at my home. I do have a pink slip in hand. I have done alterations to the jeep myself here is a brief list:….”
**SOLD** Was $950.
“This is a 1948 Willys Jeep CJ. It ran good when it was parked about 4 years ago, not running now. Good start on an early Willys. I will deliver for free in the Albuquerque/Rio Rancho area. Body is pretty good and floors are decent too. All there and has title. It is a project and will need some work. Upcoming out of state move forces sale. $950”
It looks like this jeep received a makeover at some point. If you like green flames, you’ll really like the hood.
“Have a 1946 Willies CJ2A jeep. New tires, New Top, 3 speed tran, 225 Buick Motor, 4 barrel carb”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“Up for auction is a 1946 Jeep Willys CJ 2A. The vehicle is mostly original except for the engine, which is a fuel injected Chevy V6 out of an S10 pickup. The engine probably has less than 50,000 miles on it, but I dont know for sure. The frame is straight and the body is in pretty rough shape in my opinion, although not bad for its for its age, has some rust spots, nothing all the way through, and has also had some paint and body work as well, which I did myself, so its not perfect….”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was on eBay
“I went to great lengths to get this Jeep back to what it would have looked like after a few years in it’s original job. The Jeep was painted it’s true color – Normandy Blue and the wheels are Sunset Red – more of an orange – which is their original color. This Jeep towed planes and helicopters, plowed snow, and was a mobile airplane mechanics toolbox at the Akron – Canton airport. In recognition of that, I left the big channel front bumper and the custom “towing tab” on the bumper. I also instructed the body man to leave the dents in the bed – I wanted some of the patina ( I now wish I’d just had him fix the dents, I think)….”
UPDATE: Last listed in 2009. The bumper appears Surreyish.
(07/13/2009) This has been family owned for it’s entire life.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900.
This CJ-2A deal includes an unusual trailer. This appears to be a good price.
“46 cj2a flatfender, 4cyl, 3spd, stock, steel removable top, matching 2a trailer, winch, engine hoist, towbar, daily driver, az title, 2900, trade, ratrod, project,”
Here’s a great price on a fine looking CJ-2A.
“1947 WORLD WAR II WILLYS JEEP (RUNS) COMPLETE WITH AN ALUMINUM TOP AND DOORS”
This might not be a bad price.
“1947 Jeep cj2a in great running shape. Body ok. Rebuilt engine. Almost new tires never been on pavement. Used for pulling dock/boat in at cabin. New front end, brakes reworked. 12 volt change over.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1400.
This is a great price. I assume the windshield is from a hard top.
“1947 WILLYS JEEP CONVERTED FROM 6 VOLT TO 12 NEW TIRES BATTERY ALTERNATOR STARTER COIL FUEL TANK ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP AND 12 VOLT GUAGE CLUSTER, 6FT PLOW WORKS GREAT VERY MINIMAL RUST. TANSFER CASE AND TRANS. REBEARINGED AND RESEALED 3 YEARS AGO 1400 OBO RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT”
The price isn’t bad, but the body sounds like it is bad.
“Serial Number in the 17,000’s so it’s EARLY. Has the column shift, has the tool indents and the pockets on the side. Motor sputtered a little bit, I pulled the carb and starter off for another jeep. Floors are gone, and the passenger quarter is rough. Rest is decent. Tranny has PTO. 1200 obo, or trade for pre 1965 cars and parts. Looking mainly for pre 1955 ford parts.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
This appears to be in reasonable shape.
“Great Condition for this 48 CJ Upgraded to the 134 F Head (Overhead Valves), 3 Speed, Thor Locking Hubs, Rigged for towing with 12 Volt towing lights and Tow Bar, 6 volt system, All Gages and Light work, Tires are in Great Condition, Bikini Top, Full Top with doors in great condition.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This has some interesting features. The wide rimmed fiberglass body with no tailgate is unusual. I’ve only seen the wide rimmed fiberglass bodys with tailgates. The exhaust feature is something I haven’t seen either. It appears to allow the drive to automatically switch between a direct header versus a muffler. My concern with this jeep is the roll cage attached to the rear wheel wells instead of the frame.
“1946 Willys Jeep for sale. Great condition. Runs great. 2 Wheel Drive. Chevy 350 small block built by Hines Race Engines in Cleves, OH. Automatic transmission, fiberglass body. Dual Flowmaster exhaust with electric exhaust cut-outs. New windshield, Daytona tires are like new. Edlebrock carburetor. Moroso valve covers and air filter. 373 rear end. Five point racing harness in the driver’s seat. Some very small chips in the paint which are shown in the pictures. I have pictures, drawings, and receipts from the build. Mileage on title lists 75,000 but actual mileage is unknown. Light weight and fast.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2400.
Here’s what might be a great price on a CJ-2A with an Overdrive. It isn’t running, but maybe it wont’ take much to make it run.
“1948 willys cj 3 super clean no rust complete with extra flathead 4, hood wheels, warn winch and overdrive, new seats, soft top, not running.”
