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 $20,000.
The jeep looks in good shape.

“1948 Jeep CJ2A project. Original flat 4 , aftermarket suspension. I don’t have time to work on it, so it’s time to send it down the road. I was told wen I purchased it that that I ran and drove but has steering issues. 2500 firm no trades.”
UPDATE: SOLD. Was $1400.
Engine spins. I can’t make out the front hubs.
“1946 willys jeep 4×4 has motor, transmission, and transfer case. Motor is free. She is rough but is all there and I don’t think it would take much to get it running again. Don’t have time to mess with it. $1400 O.B.O or trades No title but can get one.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500.
(02/01/2021) This has a set of leaf springs in place of the front bumper.
“Nice running jeep with the 134 4 cyl that was gone through 13 years ago but only 5000 since, just tootle around the back roads. Has been in the same family since 1954. We replaced the block, front and rear mains, carb. and newer brakes, wheel bearing, leaf springs. Good body with un-cut fenders, no patch work or repairs on the body. small spot in tub. Real nice starter or enjoy as is. $9500 clean title and know of good shipping”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1700. This project has a serial number of 15947, but I’m not seeing any VEC details on the body.
(02/09/2021) This CJ-2A has been disassembled.
https://seattle.craigslist.org/skc/pts/d/kent-1946-jeep-willys-cj2a/7305179733.html
“1946 CJ2A. I’ve torn the entire thing apart, repairs and sandblasted the chassis, began rebuilding the engine, and now we are moving and I can’t take it with. The plan was to completely restore it. Needs a fair amount of work and some parts.”
UPDATE: Status unknown. Was for trade.
(04/06/2021) There looks to be 2 CJ-3As, 3 CJ-5s, and a DJ-5. Sell has a very brief description.
“I have 6 jeeps
Any trades”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2900.
(03/03/2021) It doesn’t run.

“1948 civilian Jeep project. Engine turns over freely. Have not tried to make run. Of course it has some rust in the body but it is a very restorable Jeep. Note the air cleaner, glass fuel bowl and headlight trim rings are sitting in the Jeep. Has title”
That seems an odd place to put a winch, but maybe it was only used for light items?
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/153141710054966
“Was a great hunting rig. Just not being used, would like to see someone enjoy it again.”
Definitely a bit rough.

“1948 Willys CJ2a rear 540 PTO. Starts and runs well brakes work well New seats it’s in retty decent condition giving its age. Frame is solid and all the lights work”
Seller listed a big price, but noted that it is just a placeholder. Given the column shift and lack of tool indents, I’d say this is likely a 3X,XXX serial number.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/453877039161414
“Price is a placeholder only – Best offer for this very cool project Willys Jeep! Call to discuss. Not currently running but all original. Mileage unknown”

This has a 2A body, so the listed year of 1950 may be incorrect. It’s got a few other odd mods, too.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1156921921410986

It’s a project.

(11/14/2020) This lacks a motor, tranny, and tc. Listed as 1947 (probably a seller guess), it appears to be a 1946 based on the data plates and grille..

“Runs good, new tires 2 years ago, gas gauge doesn’t work, speedometer doesn’t work needs new cable, tear in passenger seat, just replaced universal joints, professional rebuilt starter and alternator. New fan belt. Driven weekly, starts good. Clear Maryland title.”
Maybe the rims are worth the price?
