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: Price dropped to $3500.
(04/28/2017) Craig spotted this 2A with updates.
“Run and drives no title”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(01/16/2017) Steve’s got this 2A with a rear PTO and governor for sale.
“1948 Willys cj 2a farm Jeep. Powered by a Flathead 4 cylinder engine. Jeep runs and drives but needs brake work. Body in repairable condition. Running off a 1 gallon gas can that goes with the Willys. Has a Novi Governor (Not on engine) and a rear power take off to run farm equipment. PTO does work as well as the 4wd. Not interested in any trades. $3500.00 obo. Jeep will fit on a 6 1/2 x 12 landscape trailer. Clear Title in my name.”
Looks like it would take more than $2500 to make it original.
“:Great jeep with just about perfect body
:Runs good to drive around Town
:Needs about $2500 worth of work to bring it back to original
:Comes with original rims but the tires are no good
:Seats are not original. Original seats are metal so these are more comfortable to sit on
:Paint job not original
:Carburater not original
:Steering wheel not original
:If you have the time and want to restore it back, this Jeep could be worth $12,000 or more

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
It’s a project.
“This vehicle is a great candidate for a restoration and or driver. It’s completely original and unmolested. It has been converted to 12volt and had aftermarket tires installed sometime threw its life. It was used by the Ga forestry service early on and owned by a farmer for the last 20-25 years. I have a love for jeeps and recently purchased the vehicle to restore. However I have since found a 1942 willys mb I’m interested in. I’m looking for a good home for this Jeep. Someone to bring it back to original.
Needs an engine at the very least.

Paul spotted this photo of a CJ-5 used to navigate the length of the 85-mile Delaware Aqueduct in 1957, still the longest tunnel in the world (construction photos). This was the last time the tunnel was navigate in its entirety. Because of the knowledge gained during their survey, the last living member of this party, Victor Feigelman, was consulted on the state of the tunnel up until his death in 2016.
If you zoom into the area just above gas inlet you’ll note the warning: USE WHITE GAS –ONLY–. The need to limit effluents inside the tunnel also explains the odd exhaust setup.
From Wikipedia, the Delaware Aqueduct … takes water from the Rondout Reservoir through the Chelsea Pump Station, the West Branch Reservoir, and the Kensico Reservoir, ending at the Hillview Reservoir in Yonkers, New York. The aqueduct was constructed between 1939 and 1945, and carries approximately half of the New York City water supply of 1.3 billion US gallons (4,900,000 m3) per day. At 85 miles (137 km) long and 13.5 feet (4.1 m) wide, the Delaware Aqueduct is the world’s longest tunnel.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
Appears solid.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.
There’s some value, but hard to tell how much.
“I have 3 CJ2A Willys jeeps for sale. They are in varying states of condition. None run, all have engines and trannys. 2 have original engines and 1 has a ford engine. I have many parts for these even some steel patch panels for the floors. Projects that never finished and cant now. They all roll although there are a few flat tires. If I parted these out I could get more than what I am asking for them.
They are located on my ranch west of Trinidad Colo.
I do not have titles for any of these.
Asking $2200 for all three and would like to not separate.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,000.
