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 $8000
This appears to be a CJ-2A chassis with an MB body.
“Very good condition. Good running condition. Has a canvas top to go along with the Jeep. Also, has a military Bantam trailer that is available as well.
Asking $8000 for the Jeep. Trailer is negotiable.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8995
This militarized CJ-3A looks solid.
“I am offering up for sale my 1949 Willys CJ-3A Jeep. I have owned this Jeep since 1995 after searching for years for a solid flat-fender. It was originally a Fire Jeep from New Jersey where it was used for fighting brush fires. It had always been garaged and was rust free. It has 48,000 original miles. When I acquired it, the owner had painted over the original red paint with an amateur camo pattern, so I decided to do it up as an M38 in WW2 OD. It has always run like a swiss watch. Sheet metal is all original and it is still 6-volt. I installed lock-out hubs, but have the originals. It is a very early CJ-3A, as it has the Dana 41 rear axle, and the windshield is dated Dec. 48. If you are looking for a nice original solid flat-fender, this is it! This is no cobbled-up rust-bucket resurrection like most you see for sale. I have a spare transmission/transfer case and front & rear differentials from a 1952 M38A1, all excellent, which I will include. I dearly hate to part with this Jeep, but we are moving and I will not have storage for it. This is an outstanding early Jeep and a rare opportunity. The CJ-3A is the rarest early model Jeep with only about 100,000 ever made. I will not entertain any low-ball offers, so please don’t waste your time or mine.”
UPDATE:**Status Unknown** Was $3500
(07/26/2014) Looks solid and a good price.
“1946 Willys CJ-2A with WWII GPW/MB grille and painted as WWII Army Jeep. Great patina, almost Rat Rod-like! Great for parades, reenactments, and just running around town.

Includes spare and gas can too. Military NDT style tires. Over $4000 invested. Carburetor just rebuilt. New gas tank. Tie rods just rebuilt. Trans and transfer case recently rebuilt. Clear Iowa title. Fully licensed and street legal. Serious inquiries only. Must sell. No low-ball offers please.”
UPDATE: Was $15,000. **Status Unknown**
This militarized CJ-2A looks solid.
“I had long wanted a Jeep MB like the one I used during the Korean war. I have restored several vehicles through the years and in 1994 I began searching for a Jeep to restore. Turns out these Jeeps are quite rare, and even those few I found were never exactly equipped like that Jeep.
At that point I decided the only way to duplicate that Jeep was to build one. I started with two parts Jeeps (a non-titled 1945 and a titled 1946) and went about testing the condition of components, disassembling the parts, cleaning and painting and listing those items I still needed. All original Willy’s engine and running gear are retained. The bodies of my donor Jeeps were fairly rough and the decision was made to fit it with an exact duplicate, all steel reproduction Jeep MB body. It is absolutely rust free. This Jeep is Michigan titled as a 1946 Jeep.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500
Looks solid. The steps have been repaired on this militarized 2A.

“1946 CJ2A Jeep. Priced to sell. $8900.00. Finished in military. Good running condition. Good parade vehicle. Jasper engine.”
UPDATE: Was $4800. **SOLD**

In addition, restored 1978 M416A2 trailer (A2 model has rebuilt actuator braking system with new master cylinder, shocks, and lines), new canvas, new parking brake, and lights/wiring system.

“listing a very nice 1948 cj2a jeep that has been done in military desert tan color. jeep starts,runs and stops as it should. has perfect body with no rust or dings. has florida title”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was eBay.
This runs and drives. There’s some value here.
“As you can see from the pictures this a 1948 Willys CJ2a. It is in need for a total restoration even though I have used it “as is” for 7 yrs. running it around the Chino airport.
The jeep starts right up every time.
It has been converted to 12 VOLT, thus the charging system works very well.
Has a heater not hooked up, people tell me they are rare?
Shift into all gears, grinds if you go to fast.
The brakes are stiff (not strong), it may just be the linkage or pads, not sure but they should be redone.
The steering is hard to turn? In the pictures you can see it comes with the 3 tie rod ends and the steering link end so that you can renew the steering arms. The shafts probably need grease and or rebuild?
Tires are old, cracked, and warn but they almost never need air.
The body has rust in the corners and some places on the floor have been replaced but seems to be attached well and strong.
Windows have cracks, body has dents
Comes with two pneumatic wiper motors that I was told were NOS.
There are many parts in the pictures that go with the Jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,399

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500
It appears solid. I’m wondering which data plates those are on the dash. The aren’t from a ’47. Maybe repros without a number.
“Need to sell ASAP! Restored 8 years ago. You will get the looks driving this down the road!! Email with questions. does not come with military gear shown in pictures”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here’s another refurbished jeep from Brigantine Beach. In regards to the seller’s answer to a buyer’s questions (see the ebay ad), while true the U.S. Air Force wasn’t formed until 1947, prior to that it was either the Army Air Corps (AAC) or the US Army Air Forces (USAAF). This jeep isn’t about accuracy. It’s about having some fun.
Then I got to thinking. As a point of discussion, is it a misuse of government intellectual property to paint on and resale something with USAF like this? I’m not that concerned about it, but I was just wondering if it’s technically legal. I might have to research that.
