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 $3500.
“Fresh tune up, Runs good, 4WD does not work, but parts are available to fix it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
“I have a 1947 Willys Jeep. Needs some work. Asking $2000 or trade for a Polaris Sportsman 4 wheeler.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This has a few unusual features. (1) Note the location of the 2nd battery, (2) note the “Power Train” hubs [I don’t recognize this brand] and (3) the interesting location/position of the heater.
“Up for auction is ‘Ol Fred, my very rare 1948 Willy’s Overland CJ2A. Purchased two years ago, and has been stored indoors ever since. A restoration was done by previous owner.. not so much as to “show” the vehicle, but to use it. Drives like a new Jeep. This vehicle is extremely tight. The Original Go-Devil L-Head 60bhp engine runs perfectly, as does the Original 3-speed transmission. Shifts like new. Complete Drivetrain was overhauled. The Transfer Case is equipped with drive pulleys for running external implements such as water pumps, generators, etc. New Brakes. Still runs original 6 volt system with additional 6 volt battery…..”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6000
This is one of the better hard top restorations that I’ve seen. Most people dump them.
“Have a 1948 Willys CJ 2-A in absolutely perfect condition Frame off restoration with a 198 Buick V-6 with warn overdrive that runs perfectly. All 12 volt with all new gauges that all work. All hat channels perfect as the rest of the tub. Really nice Sears aluminum top, insulated on the inside. Goes down the road like a dream and I drive it daily. Top speed 60 MPH with the overdrive. Absolutely no rust anywhere, frame perfect, and all wiring, lights are perfect. Have Pa title in my name Serious buyers only for more pics One NICE Willys 2-A Please call 814-590-7732”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800.
It’s not clear how long it was in a barn. It appears to run.
“Barn Find 1947 Willys. Runs Good, everything works, great shape for 62 year old rig. Civilian model, original motor and tranny. Military Soft top and doors. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD — Purchased by an eWillys Reader** The reader got a great price (under $2k). It had very little rust. Receipts totaled $8k worth of work and included parts in boxes never installed.
(01/15/09) The above price is meant as a starting point. The seller will negotiate. It needs to leave the garage. It’s got some updates and new tires & wheels.
“If interested – make me an offer. My Jeep needs to go… Great Jeep, but Needs work – You want this Jeep, but you need to have the means, place, ability to work on it. (or pay someone to). 1948 CJ2A – runs, has great heavy duty tires/new wheels (tires/wheels > $1000). 1976? Ford 2.3L 4-cyl engine runs good (new camshaft). very, very little deep rust. new radiator & electric cooling fan. Stock transmission, transfer case. 11” drum brakes all around. GM steering column and steering gear …. I spent $$$$ having this Jeep “gone through”, however the synchronizers were not replaced so you have to double clutch or you will grind gears shifting down. The transfer case still leaks some, so that may need attention also, but everything is “supposed” to be sound …. Price is negotiable. I put what I would like to get as a starting price, you can feel free to make me an offer . The jeep has loads of sentimental value, but I need it gone… 🙁 ….. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500
I can’t tell much from this photo.
“1948 Willys flatfender Jeep. Bowtie Willys V8, Winch, BFGoodrich 31″ mud terrain w/ matching spare tire, 2″ receiver towbar, Hate to sell it, just had a baby…. you know the story… $5,500 OBO”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
“Reconditioned in 2006. Runs good and is in good condition. Was sand blasted , primed, and painted. The jeep has new tires, new brakes all around, new master cylinder, new muffler, replaced all gauges, recover seats, installed seat belts, rhino lined interior, new gas tank, new carberator, new fuel pump, new distributor, new coil, rebuilt starter, replaced battery, has a bikini top, and new radiator. Great for the deer lease or ranch.”
I can’t tell if this is running or not.
“Great little project, runs & drives same family for years stored inside & use to pull the boat up. Notarized bill of sale $2000 406-660-0115”
UPDATE: The price has dropped to $600. This is looks like a good price. It even runs (if you hook up the gas tank).
Either the year or the model is wrong. I’m gonna guess this is either a highly mashed jeep (maybe a 43 frame with CJ-3a body parts and a CJ-2A windshield) or a 1948-9 CJ-2A.
“1943 cj3a with the orignal 4 cyl f head engine. gas tank is unhooked but it runs if you hook it up again. most mechanical work has been taken care of and it has several new parts. everything other than the suspention is original as far as i can tell.the body needs work and so does the interior, but if your looking for a cool old jeep and a great project this is the jeep for you. if you have any questions feel free to call me at 307-321-0612 I can deliver, but it will cost gas and milage.”
This is unusual. I can’t say I’ve seen a grille like that. the light placement is a bit odd, too.
“willys jeep. street legal. title in hand. brand new super swamper tires. 304 amc v8 in it. very strong motor. need to sale. 3200 cash or trade for motorcycle. some rust to body and frame. call 239-910-1075 or email for additional info or pics”

Here’s a nicely restored CJ-2A.
“This is a 1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A; I purchased this jeep from an individual in 2003 and spent until 2006 restoring it; I stripped it down to the bare frame and started all over from the beginning; it has the original frame, but has been beefed up in the spots that were rusted; all new springs, shocks, brakes, brake cylinders, brake lines, master cylinder, rebuilt entire steering system, steering is nice and tight; original rims with new tires and a spare; front and rear axle are original, but completely rebuilt; engine has been completely overhauled and runs perfect; new exhaust system; ….”
UPDATE: Rick found this in Sultan via ewillys and had it shipped to NJ. It’s a gret looking flattie.
“Very clean flat fender! NO RUST! 4.1 liter Buick v6, t18 4spd, Dana 18tc, warn overdrive, 5.38 with lockers front and rear, Dana 44 rear and 30 front, GM power steering, 10k warn upright winch, both tops, full and half doors, GM tilt column, full roll cage, painless wiring harness, updated gauges, boxed frame, reinforced tub, like new radial swampers, on board air with tank in rear bumper, WORKING heater, aluminum radiator, line lock, 11″ brake conversion”
This looks like a good price.
“1948 willys jeep. Runs well with original flathead 4cyl engine. 3sp standard transmission. Body has minimal rust for year model. Also comes with front carry rack. Jeep is mostly original with the exception of a few modifications. Jeep has been converted to a 12V system as well. Ran very well for 2 years at hunting lease.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
“Heres my 1948 CJ-2A for sale that I acquired in July of 1992. Now its 62 years old Its a 4 cyl L head as it should be with original 3spd, and 4wd.Kept indoors before I had it and has been garaged the whole time I’ve owned it. Runs and drives.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $700
Not much info and a dark pic.
“46-47 willys rough shape but would be good river jeep or RAT ROD material 700 obo”
This appears mostly stock.
“1948 Willy’s Jeep for sale. It has a Flathead 4 cylinder Jeep motor, 12 volt, removable soft top, new brakes, spare tire, and extra motor. Runs good. For more information please contact me by phone (541)421-5127 or email at lindakhunt@hotmail.com.”
http://eastoregon.craigslist.org/cto/1416393931.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
(08/08/09) It looks good.
“Ford 302 V8, runs. Like new 33X12.50 Tires and wheels. Three speed with overdrive. Does need some work. I did some work on it last summer and haven’t touched it since. Picture was from last summer right after work was done. Asking 4000 OBO.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
(10/11/09) The jeep appears mostly stock, though there are minor issue. Given it doesn’t run, I suspect the price will drop.
“Original engine, trans, transfer case, with matching numbers. Needs a frame up resto. Doesn’t run. Please email me for more info.. Firm on price.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown
(08/16/09) It appears in good shape.
“1946 willys jeep for sale. Upgraded to a V-6 motor, lots of power. Beefed up transmission with low miles and new rear end with even lower miles. Used only for hunting. Serious inquiries only.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
(09/22/09)
“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A Has straight six in it right now thats knocking real bad, but Have running original four cylinder that goes with this. Also have front and rear axle to go too. Body,frame,all running gear in very good shape. Will be nice little jeep when running again. has collector plates, so no tabs to worry about. ”
The seller needs to sell immediately.
“Have an original 1946 Willy’s Overland Jeep that I must sell ASAP. CJ2A flathead, 4 cylinder, UNRESTORED. 57K miles. In storage. $4800., or best reasonable offers considered. Thanks. Call 978-870-6944”
The price for the jeep looks good. This might be a good price. The trailer is also $2800, which seems a bit high to me.
“Willys jeep and trailer for sale 2,800.00 for jeep and 2,800. for the trailer will sell together for 5,000. runs great good tires. ask for Bill 951-692-2207”
http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/1412094720.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
“1946 Willys Jeep. Original paint and top. Engine, transmission, transfer case rebuilt. $3,500 OBO.”
This is a project, but based on the parts list, it sounds like it might be worth the price. The front clip looks like it is fiberglass. I would guess the truck tranny is either a sm420 or sm456. It’s difficult to see whether it would really only take a couple hours to make this run.
“48 cj2a, rebuilt 283, never started. Chevy truck 4 speed, rebuilt x-case, diff’s rebuilt W/11 in drums instead of 9. This jeep just needs finished. The front clip is almost worth what I’m asking. Realistically with a couple of hours you could be runnin. Wife said it’s gotta go. # is 630-6601, Price is negotiable. Thanx fer lookin.”
