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 $550
It says it’s never been used, but it looks like the front clip was ready to be installed. If it is in as good as shape as advertised, then this is a great price.
“Willy’s Jeep CJ2A, CJ3A, or MB Fiberglass Tub with Steel Fenders, grill, & tailgate. It’s never been used, no cracks – good shape! Also has a fiberglass tailgate included. There is a frame included if you want it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
“’47 Willys CJ2A, 2300 Pinto engine, T-90 3 speed, 8.75 Chrysler rear end, Warn Overdrive, Arctic hard top, 11″ Brakes, 16 gallon fuel tank $3,500.00 OBO”
It looks like a nice jeep. If it is really a 1949 CJ-2A (rather than a CJ-3A), than it’s one of only 2182 produced that year.

Is this that barn find you were hoping to run across? 31 years in the barn — no mention if it stills runs.
“49 willys all original,it has been stored in our barn since 1987 and I need the space, priced accordingly, $2000.”
This jeep’s body looks pretty straight. It looks like there is a muffler on the driver side, but none on the passenger side?
“I have a 1946 jeep willy’s. I bought it to restore and got too busy with work and family, I would like to sell it, great for hunting or wheeling. 231 Buick motor almost new top, runs great. fairly new tires power steering but needs new hose, has a new aluminum radiator has a few dents and dings. has aluminum fender well covers with rear seat attached. I am asking $3500 obo. Call Frank at 503 896 4773 leave message
or e mail tfalick@yahoo.com”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1599
Given this is a non-running project that has had some mods done to it, the price is a little high. I don’t see any obvious rust on the body and the back looks pretty straight, but I can’t see much more from these pics.
“1948 Willys cj2a project needs a new home. Not running. Needs starter. Painless wiring kit partially installed. New gauges. New ignition switch. Do not have time to complete. Must sell”
Get out your welder. This might be a decent deal depending on how good the condition of the body is.
"Runs. 1000 miles on rebuilt engine. 12 volt system. Recent frame crack requires more skill than I have. Great project car. Call Matt for more information (cell) 707-290-1611"
James found this cj-2a with a m38 body on Craigslist for $2,000. He pounced on it immediately. I'm not sure how I missed it during my searches! Just goes to show I can't find them all.
This is an excellent find, especially since the body is in excellent condition reports James. It's also one of the best California deals I've seen …
Here’s an early CJ-2A with the column shift. The seller doesn’t not indicate whether it runs or not, but it looks whole — it looks like it might run. Obviously, the hood and windshield are a bit rough.
“For sale is a 1946 Willys with early column shift.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500.
“1946 CJ2A: Frame off restoration with 4200 miles. New 1967 Buick 225 V-6/300 hp. Boxed in frame for winch support. Titanium alloy “Rock Crusher” rims. Gas filled guages.

“jeep has a newly rebuilt motor and i have hardly driven it. it has a spare gas can and a tow bar on the front. the body is in fair shape. this would be a great project jeep. cashiers check or cash only please.”
This is a fine looking CJ-2A sporting a M-38 body. The rims are interesting.
"1946 WILLYS CJ 2A JEEP. 4 CYL. 3SP. RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT. USED AROUND THE PROPERTY THE LAST FEW YEARS. NEW TIRES. CHEAPER THAN A GOOD 4 WHEELER. EMAIL OR CALL 802-754-2978"
This is one of the most rusted flat fenders I think I've ever seen. Next, I noticed the rear PTO water pump, which was cool. Then I noticed the solid back — no tailgate, yet the body doesn't look like a MB/GPW. It's hard for me to believe that this jeep rusted so much while in storage.
"Willys,4 x 4. NO TITLE. year unknown, needs complete resto. has drivetrain intact. rear water pump pto driven. was in storage for 25 years until last week…. coalbiz2001@hotmail.com"
I think this is the first jeep I've posted from Alabama. Either that's a brand new body or someone has taken very good care of that jeep.
"1946 Willys' Jeep Model CJ2A – civilian style. Yellow with black interior and black bikini top. All new (not rebuilt) front end, steering, tow ends, both transmissions and belts, hoses, etc. Parade ready."
This is a sharp looking jeep. I would guess the reserve is pretty high on this one.
"For Sale: 1947 Willys Jeep 4×4. Spent most of its life in California. Absolutely NO rust. The paint is not perfect and has some chips. It has a GM V-6 with roller rockers, aluminum high rise intake with 4 barrel carb, headers, spark arrester header mufflers, electronic ignition, high performance clutch with T-10 4 speed, big face tac, true-loc axles, 3 inch lift, aluminum wheels with 33 inch mud tires, 2 fuel tanks. Grant steering wheel (also have original big Willys steering wheel and side mirrors), Bimini and full convertable top with canvas doors. The motor has less than 5000 miles on it and is either built by Kenne Bell or has Kenne Bell parts (this information was provided by previous owner)…. Call Dave at (419)303-4918."
It looks like the steps have been modified. Probably should do a close rust check of that area.

A reader named David has shared an old picture of his parents racing around the sand dunes in what looks to be a CJ-2A. This picture is a good reminder that you don't need a fancy jeep to go out and enjoy a day in the sand. David will be sending a few more pictures along with some background text soon. Thanks David!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500
“1948 Willys Jeep CJ-2A. AS-IS parts or restore. No title. The drive train is complete But the chassis is shot. We do have a few other little parts in a box that we didn’t want to walk off in the wrong hands. Overall this truck has a whole lot of potential. We also have a few other jeeps and 3 1/2 Mighty Mites for sale as well. We are liquidating some of the collection. ”
I’m gonna guess this is a 1953 CJ-3A with a 2A windshield and a MB grille. It looks like it needs a few more details completed than the seller lists.
“1953 Willys Jeep with Trailer. $5000 or Make me an offer… I have not run this jeep since I began restoration, but it ran well before I began. It does have overdrive. I am including all the parts to make it look like a 1945 Willy’s. It still needs the seat cushions and speedometer. It will need to have the gas tank hooked back up as well. Has a 6 volt system. Both Jeep and Trailer have been sand blasted and painted. Pintail hook and regular ball trailer adapter is included for the trailer. Trailer has a hill brake.”
There have been a few updates to this daily driver.
"This old willys is a daily driver. It has had almost everything replaced or rebuilt. It runs great and is very dependable. It has the original 134 cu engine in it and gets great gas mileage. I can deliver to the front range for free. Call if you have any questions 785-821-1943"
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
Hmm .. maybe there’s something here?
“Not Running, turns over with hand crank, all original, no modifications, have the title, good running gear and frame, needs work but could be restored to original condition, don’t have the time to start on it, make me a offer. “
The ad for this jeep is pretty funny. Note the comment "No Rot". Now, look at the pic — somewhere along the line there must have been some rot (unless that wooden box seat was a rare factory option)!
"1946 willys jeep cj2a original 4 cylinder, twin stick transfer case, some sort of wood body from previous owner, runs strong, no rot call with any offer 413-231-4677"
Here's a garage find. The starting bid of $3200 is a bit high considering this hasn't been run in a while.
"garaged original 1947 willey jeep soft top with door, not running , 4 cyclinder body mint no visable rust sold as is looks complete engine may need to be gone through for pick up only from estate sale uncle passed away has not been moved in years 2 original black calif plates unsure of auctual miles"
This seems like a reasonable price for an updated, trail ready jeep. The windshield looks like it’s a CJ-3A windshield, but it is flat. I wonder if there was some custom work done on it.
“1947 Jeep Willy’s with Chevy V6 engine. 4 speed manual transmission, power steering, tilt column, racing seats with 6 point harness and soft top. Has ultra aluminum wheels, 35″ Super Swampers and comes with 4 extra wheels. Includes tow bar.”
