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 .
Has a variety of updates.

“This is a world war II era 1945 Jeep CJ-2A. The engine is a Buick V6 odd fire, 4-speed manual, the exact mileage is unknown because the previous owner did not reset the odometer while doing the engine swap. There was a conversion from the original drum brakes to disc brakes. There was been work done on the transmission and clutch. New brake linings, new seats.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(05/08/2021) This runs and drives, but the seller notes it will need more work to be road worthy.

“This rare “flat fender” jeep has a rebuilt engine, new OEM carb, new tires, front springs, exhaust, new brake lines, wheel cylinders and master cylinder. I have checked and lubed the front and rear axles, and driven it around the block after putting it back together for my winter project.
I got this years ago as a complete “field find” and would run. It had been converted to 12V with alternator. However, I noticed milky oil due to head gasket leakage, and it had no brakes. The engine was pulled and inspected, cleaned and found cylinders had been bored and the pistons/rings in good shape. It was then reassembled with new bearings and gaskets.
I replaced the master cylinder, all the brake lines and installed new wheel cylinders. I did not replace the old drums and brake shoes. I cleaned and repacked the front hubs/wheel bearings and the front and rear differentials covers were pulled to inspect gears and add new gear oil. This winter it was further restored with a new carburetor, new exhaust system, new tires, and new front springs/shackles. The rusty floor was treated and painted with POR15 and the body was sanded and hand painted with red rustoleum.
It starts easily and I have driven it around the block, but needs additional work before being “road worthy” such as new brake drums/shoes, wiring for lights and gauges, and oil leaks from the tranny/transfer case.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $9750.
The front bumper/frame rails have been modified, but otherwise this may be fairly stock.

Tom spotted this jeep. Described as “in near perfect condition, it looks like the rear portion of the tub has been repaired/modified and it lacks a tailgate. The front looks in good condition. Listed as a 1948, it may actually be a 1949 CJ-3A.

This has some Allstate or Husky hubs. It looks rough for the price.

“1949 Willy’s CJ, great little jeep, don’t use it as much as I planned, runs good, needs the oil pump gasket replaced, little drip going right onto the exhaust, haven’t gotten around to fixing it. Pretty clean body was redone awhile ago. Only trades would be for an older 12 valve”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
This jeep has some updates, but still needs a few things addressed.
“Excellent condition and needs minor TLC to make it complete. Engine was replaced with 1967 Buick 225 cid V-6 odd fire engine. Body was recently painted black, reupholstered seats, padded roll bar, locking hubs, elec radiator fan, new Rochester carb, electronic ignition. Clean Ohio title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.
It’s a project. This may have a DJ-3A grille.
“I have had a 1946 Willys for a long time with the plans to bring it back to life but I don’t have time or money for it.
This is an old picture.
I have a 350 bare that would come with it. Transmission and transfer case that line up with it. It is now sitting on a CJ5 frame which is heavier duty. I have a sand blasted hood, windshield frame, and tailgate. I hve 2 original Willys metal seats and the fuel tank that goes under the seat. I’m Sure I’m missing something.
Bill of sale only.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2600.
(04/08/2021) This seems to be a pretty stock VEC, which is why the lack of bow holders surprises me. This is one of several CJ-2As that makes me wonder if it was possible to get a CJ-2A without bow holders on the side.
“If this ad is still up it’s still for sale. 1946 Willys VEC CJ2A #22085 has tool indents, still column shift, eay air cleaner, correct generator w/cast iron pulley, early smooth cyl head. Has all body & frame tags, clean title in my name. Motor is stuck (soaking with MMO currently). Trans & tcase shift & steering steers. Sheetmetal needs some love but imo is salvageable.”
Runs, but body is rough.

“Body in rough condition, runs, stops, lights work. Was fixing to be used around the property, a cheap side by side.”

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/4098620606826040
“Roller frame, body. Title in hand. 305 motor and transmission. If it is still posted, it is available”
This may be a 19790s CJ-5 chassis with a 1948 ‘Lefty’ body. It’s got a 1970s CJ-5 grille among other 1970s details.

“I have a 1947 Willy’s Jeep cj2a 3 speed, 4×4. That has been in my family since 1947. It was my great grandpas, he used it on his farm in east tx. It sat in a barn for roughly 40 yrs until my grandpa restored it. It has been garage kept since then. After my grandpa passed away several years ago my mom got the Jeep and she gave it to me. I have no place to keep it besides in my back yard. It runs and drives, and attracts everybodys attention. I know it’s worth a decent amount of money, I’ve done my research. Im asking $8k or best offer or I’m considering trades just let me know what you have the worst I can say is no thanks.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(09/24/2020) Has a few mods including an f-head. This may have a Bobcat hood, but I can’t tell for sure.
