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: Dennis reports this has sold. It was listed at $1500.
This hasn’t b een run in a while and has rot on the driver’s side at the very least. The half cab looks good.
“MOTOR REBUILT IN EARLY 1990’S, BEEN IN STORAGE FOR LAST 15 YEARS, LAST STARTED IN 2001. 6′ BLADE INCLUDED.”
This looks pretty stock, but has plenty of rust, too. Mostly surface rust?

UPDATE: Back on eBay
(11/26/2011) This look solid.
” I am selling my 1948 CJ2A Jeep. It has a NEW 4cyc Old Stock engine! This particular engine is still braking in and has under 100 miles on it… I also said that it has approximately 55,000 miles, I am estimating this as I am not sure if the odomitor is correct… this is truly non-significant, but I did want to bring this too your attention… This engine is in PERFECT shape…Body is in great shape and does (as far as I and my mechanic can see) NOT have any major rust issues…I have put a new Electric Fuel Pump, New Battery, New Tires, New Brakes… it has been converted to12 volts with alternator.
Original CJ2A Split Windshield too, nothing seen as reproduction concerning body, windshield, etc… Please see pictures, this one is a super deal, because of it’s shape, and condition…Plus Warn overdrive, Selectro Mechanical Hubs. It drives very well, the transmission does NOT pop out of gear and it does not smoke…
I have added detailed pictures, and if you have any questions please let me know… I looked for a long time to find a NICE CJ2A jeep that could be fixed up and made nice without a lot of trouble or expense, etc. This is one of the nicest ones around and it took me a long time (over 3-4 years to find)… The biggest need is for the seat to be re-upholstered as the cushion and leather is bad… The seat frames are great… If one wants, it could be painted.
Why am I selling? I am starting a “special” medical clinic to help people and our soldiers who have Post Traumatic Stress Disease. I need to purchase more equipment for the clinic. Please know that my work is still based on donation and all my patients who want help, will get help.
Thanks for bidding, and thank you in advance for who ever purchases this jeep…YOU are doing a great cause to help those who suffer from PTSS, PTSD, Depression, etc.
Sincerely,
Dr. Victor J Wedel”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500. Lefty?
There might be some value here.
“This is a 40’s vintage CJ2A Jeep. It has no motor but has complete rolling chassis with tranny and transfer. Has both front seats and fuel tank. Would make a great winter time project. Asking $500 or best realistic Offer It comes with it’s own tow bar with a 2″ ball hitch.”
This runs, but does need some work.
“I am selling a 1948 willys cj2a “lefty” Jeep!! There were less the 10,000 of these jeeps built one year. Willys put the spare tire on the drivers side instead of the passenger for a few months of production. The jeep does have some rust and body damage but can be fixed pretty easy.. the motor starts right up and seems to run good but the carburetor could use a rebuild. I put a new gas tank with sending unit in the jeep and also I have new canvas seats coming for the jeep… Jeep does need some TLC but would be a nice project to fix up for hunting or to do a full restoration… Please fell free to call me at (970-210-0680) for any question… Jeep is located in Crawford CO but I can deliver the jeep..”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600.
This looked like an average parts jeep until I saw the bow holders on the passenger side.
“Doesn’t run. Titled in Colorado. Has most of original parts. Was going to build a rock crawler but kids came. I have no time to fix need to sell.”
UPDATE: Was $4000. **SOLD**
It needs some body work. This is a lefty (spare tire mounted on the left).
“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A. Runs great original engine. Will need some under body work. Great project for someone who has the time.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $850. I assume the unusual windshield is due to the hard top.
Here’s a jeep with an unusual top. and it appears to be a lefty, though the tire is mounted pretty high.
“Project i never had time for, nearly complete except for a few parts that were taken by midnight shoppers. starter air cleaner,carb missing.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
“I bought this about 15 years ago and it has been a blast. I have a large farm and we used it to cruise around here and taught my kids how to drive on it. It runs excellant and has the original Hurricane 4 cyl. Red Devil engine with a 3 spd. Trans. The tires are great, but as you can see they are not original equip. Recently installed entire brake system. We would use this to ride around at hunting season and the occassional trip down to the local watering hole. It has been great to us and has always started and never left us stranded. It truly is a great piece of history that would make an excellant canidate for restoration or use as is. We have had our fun with it but just don’t use it much anymore so it is time for it to go to a new owner.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
“We have a 1947 Willy’s Jeep, white with Blue seats and top. It was pieced together with 1942, 46 and 47 parts in the late 1980’s, trailered from Arkansas to Michigan in the early 1990’s and has been stored in a pole barn since then. The body is in good condition, the engine runs, it does drive but it does seem to ‘eat’ batteries. My husband and I don’t have the time or resources to work on the jeep and hate to see it set. It comes with the spare tire and the gas can that hooks to the side. There is a title to this jeep, and it was licensed back in 1994.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3995.
