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 $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 $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.

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

“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”

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.”

This is a project and it is apart. The pics below show what it used to look like.
“Here is my 1948 Willys Jeep that I started as a porject some years ago and just didn’t finish. I put new wheel cylinders, master cyl, shocks, fuel pump, coil, plugs, ans did some body work. It ran very well when I disassmbled it. It needs wiring harness, gas tank and seat frames….almost ready to go for the right person.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900.
“Hunting season is here! Classic 1948 Willys CJ 2A “Civilian Jeep” Original 4 cyl 134 ci “Go Devil” engine and 3 Speed manual T-90 transmission. The engine, transmission, clutch, 4WD, transfer case, high/low range and lights are all in working condition. The body is extremely solid. The floor pans have been patched. It has the 6 volt electrical system, with an electric fuel pump. It has a little play in the steering and the typical fluid drips and leaks for a CJ2A of this vintage. Although it’s not perfect, it’s in much better shape than a lot of the older Jeeps that are available on the market. Come and take a look – you know you’ve always wanted one! Located in Duluth.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3700.
(08/10/09) The jeep’s hard to see in this pic, but at first glance looks good.
“1948 Willys Jeep with a Chevy 283 V-8 with a Warn overdrive. Everything is 12 Volt and has a heater and comes with two original backseats. Original transmission, axles, and differentials. Extras include a bikini top, front push guard, spare gas tank and tire and the Jerry gas cans. Tires are in great shape and the body and tub has no rust. I really do not want to sell it, but I just do not use it anymore.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2290.
Well, there’s nothing that indicates this is an MB. It looks more like a CJ-2A You gotta love this ‘matching’ trailer. But, the price is good.
“1943 Willys Jeep For Sale!! $2290 w/ the matching “army” green trailer.. 4WD, runs well, new carburetor, new starter, gas tank, new water and fuel pumps.”
Looks good.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
It’s got a new winch. The tires look good. It also has a big foot pedal. Do you need any more than that? I’m not sure why it has lights in a 2 pics and not in the other two pics.
“It is primarily for off-road use only. 6-cylinder engine; it runs but smokes. No title. It has a new Warn 8000lb. wench mounted on front. $1500.”

(02/11/09) I’m not sure what a Canadian transfercase is?
