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 .
This probably has an f-head. It’s got a few other updates, too.

“1946 Jeep Willys CJ2A
Original Body with matching ACM numbers on tailgate and gusset.
Engine is from a 1953 Jeep Willys. It runs great and starts up with one turn of the key.
All 4 brake cylinders replaced last month and master cylinder.
Very little rust. Read Less”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600.
Listed as a CJ-2A, this might be a replacement tub. If it was a DJ-3A convertible tub, it would have two vertical supports inside the back of the tub.
“Very nice tub has surface rust but very small spots of rust through. Windshield frame,hood,fenders in above average condition. Missing grill.
No Engine.
Has Transmission,transfer case,diffs,
Boxes of misc parts.
New gas tank.
No title”
I’m not sure what the purpose is for the frame work in the cargo area.

“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2a runs great, many new parts including: gas tank, sending unit, gas gauge, ignition switch, headlight switch, hi/lo beam switch, steering wheel, spark plugs, fuel pump, and fuel lines. Also replaced exhaust manifold (cracked) and gaskets. Included but not installed new shift boots, master cylinder, plus more new parts. Engine, transmission, and transfer case previously rebuilt and work as they should. Carb rebuilt a few months ago. Recent oil/filter change. 4 of the 5 tires are very old, but all hold air.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
Nearly stock VEC #12683.
“I’ve owned CJ-2A serial #12683 for a couple of years, and I enjoyed it. The serial number indicates this Jeep was built in the first few weeks after the end of World War 2, making it a “VEC” (very early civilian) Jeep. I think it would be better off with someone with the time to restore it.
Overall the Jeep is in good condition considering its age: it runs and drives fine, though the brakes pull to the left; I’ve checked the adjustment of the brakes, and it seems fine, so I’d recommend disassembling the front brakes completely to see what’s going on before driving it.
***You’ll need to tow it home unless you’re my neighbor. Tow bar is included.***
During my ownership, I fixed a few things:

Not sure there’s much value here.

“This is a Jeep Willys from the 1940’s we think. It ran when we got it a couple years ago but we were going to fix it up better. We’ve changed our minds and would like to sell it and not fool with it anymore. It could be a nice one if someone took the time to do it. The basic parts are here – the body and windshield and seats, etc. There is rust and some rebuilding is needed.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(04/17/2019) The body may be in good shape.

“1946 CJ2A JEEP BEEN IN DRY STORAGE FOR YEARS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION ASKING $10,000”
The floors may have some body liner on them. There might be a patch on the passenger floor, but I can’t tell for sure. Otherwise, seems pretty solid.

“1947 CJ2A Willy’s Jeep, 2900 miles on rebuilt motor, runs great. All original. Always garaged.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1000.
(11/24/2020) Advertised as a 1949, this has a 2A body based on the ignition holes in the dash, so it might be a 3A with a 2A body or a late 2A or some other combo.

“1949 willys project good frame transmission and transfer case has had new barrens and seals put in and a gm adapter to use a gm engine has a v6 buick engine in it also have the original redator for sale or trade”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(09/05/2020) Unclear what value is here. It’s listed as both a 1945 and a 1946. It could be early, as it has the early windshield squares.

It’s a project. Only one pic provided.

“This is a PROJECT CJ2A! It doesn’t have an engine or windshield, but it is solid with typical California light rust. It has clean California title on Non-Ops and what you see is what you get plus a new upper cawl panel. More pictures on request. If you email I will only respond to those that leave contact information.
Asking 1800 OBO,”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
Everything is original? Floor is in great shape? Not much value here, but may have some early 2A parts.
“No title. Does have an original bill of sale and can write a bill of sale; bonded title is easy to get. Floor is in great shape, not a lot of rust. Numbers do match engine, transmission, and front and rear axles. Everything is original, needs minor work in order for it to be street worthy. Bring a trailer”
This restored CJ-2A probably had indents. It still has the column shift.

A steep price for a jeep with a broken differential (if that’s actually the case).
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/284784356281170
“demás trabaja bien … translated to English: 48 Jeep with all the original parts. is broken the differential everything else works well”
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $5000.
Not too many jeeps with Dodge engines anymore.
“Firm price. 1965 318 Dodge motor installed. Not original. Needs brake work. Needs wiper installed (included). Needs some work not much. I also have soft top metal and door metal. No fabric. Also tow bar. Runs great”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Based on the pics, it seems both of these vehicles are included? The ex-service station red one with the sears half-cab is definitely included. There could be value here.
“1947/1948 willys cj2a project 99% original and complete. Functional before disassembly. Was originally a Standard gas service vehicle from big timber. plenty of extras. Engine is a L134 go devil (ww2 gpw) runs and supposedly fresh rebuild. Start of PTO front and rear.

Needs: some more body work Springs, wiring and some break work. 1500 OBO or trade.”
Not the best pics. The video is probably more helpful. The tailgate appears unoriginal.

“I have a 1946 Willys Overland Jeep I have a video of it running has 4 wheel drive and about to get painted cranked up on a dime. New belt hoses and gaskets clean good looking jeep !!!!!”
Listed as a 1964, I suspect the seller meant 1946, as it looks to be a VEC (though the seller listed the year wrong twice).
