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 $4850.
The windshield lacks glass.

(Civilian / M-38 Military Clone)
1951 Willy’s CJ-3A Jeep (Civilian / M-38 Military Clone)
Serial# 3J77908
This jeep is privately owned and 100% turn-key. Selling only because I have multiple project vehicles and no time to enjoy this one anymore. It’s a great weekend cruiser and gets lots of attention wherever it goes. Truly classic Korean War era jeep that would be a great addition to any collectors line up.
I purchased this jeep from a farm in upstate NY and was my fixer-upper project back in 2009. I have the clean title in-hand, exempt status, antique registered w/ period correct tag, recent oil change, new tires, and only needs a few minor repairs to make it perfect. I have put only 1,500 miles on it since purchased, no accidents, adult owned, garage kept, never seen rain or snow, never off-road, non-smoker and no dents or dings, 46k original miles on drive train. I start it every weekend and take it for a short ride to keep her running. Continue reading

“1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A Military Restoration
1947 painted to resemble an old military version. It was a little more complicated and expensive than I thought but it will last a long time now and be alot of fun for the kids for years to come.
I replaced the brakes from the master cylinder, lines to brake cylinders and replaced the pads and two drums, plus the emergency brake. New shocks, tires (original WWII bi-directional), a new bell housing, clutch plate, new radiator, hoses, belts and seats. We degreased the thing 3 times before I had it sand blasted and painted. Restored in 2001 and pretty much garage parked since. Engine is original and in pretty good shape. Still has the original bucket body with bullet holes ! (Well, painted rust holes)
It has been covered up over the winter. But it ran fine last summer. Let me know if you want to see it, I will uncover it for you. I am not getting auto insurance for it this summer. So you wont be test driving it except on my driveway. I do have a current video of it running so you can hear the engine
I have about 30 current photos so let me know what you would like to see !”

Very nice toy. I have rebuilt it about 95% “original” with only slight “modern” aspects. Runs and looks good, but NOT a museum piece. This is a “runner”.
This unit was issued civilian, but I chose to rebuild it as military.

Nick’s got this militarized CJ-2A for sale.
“For sale is a Jeep I shipped from Las Vegas. The Jeep is nearly rust free. It runs, drives, and stops. Lights work. Clear title.
It was a part of the infamous Phil Maloof auto collection, owned by the curator with a mechanic on staff. The collection has been visited by Jay Leno and Pawn Stars. This Jeep sat next to Duisenbergs, Rolls Royces, Lincolns, and V-16 Cadillacs.
-New canvas top, seats
-New tires
-Somewhat recent engine rebuild
-Saginaw steering – turns like butter
-Early style engine & full floating rear axle
It sat this winter – and could use some carb tuning/rebuild to run smoother.
Paint job isn’t the greatest. Other than that, this is a very nice vehicle that you can enjoy during the summer. It’s nearly impossible to find an original condition Jeep in the midwest that hasn’t been patched up. Only patched area is under the toolbox.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
Those are Free-Lock hubs in the pics.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
Not all original, but could be good for the price.

(10/29/2016) Bruce has this 2A & Trailer for sale. Contact him at 865 456-3535.
“I hate to do this, but I am finally ready to sell my 1947 4WD Army Jeep and trailer. It’s a CJ2a, restored, new seats, new top, great tires, new clutch and throw-out bearing, and the transmission has been totally rebuilt. I made it into a Military Police Jeep with a working siren, faux M-1 carbine in a rifle holder at the base of the windshield, ax and shovel mounted and a military trailer to pull behind. The engine is original, and if the speedometer is correct (and I believe it is), there is 28,000 miles on her. It will go about 50+ MPH, but with the military tires, I like to stay around 40. The overall length of both the Jeep and trailer is 21 feet. I restored it myself and have used it in numerous area parades. The looks and thumbs up I get can’t be counted. Folks are so appreciative to see a working WWII era Jeep. Of course, during the 5 years I have owned it, she has been garage kept.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
Craig shared this one. It could use some body work. But, it’s a trophy winner!
“I am selling my jeep willys cj2 … it runs and drives. I am the 3 owner. Its 95% orginal… Un restored. In good condition for its age. I know the history and where it came from…. I entered it in one car show and it earned a trophy…..”
It’s a 2A body that the seller has modified to look more MB/GPWish.
“I have a 1946 willys cj2a. It is a very good jeep, in good shape, and runs good. It was rusted and full of big holes when I got it. I spent a lot of time repairing, I cut out the holes, and welded in new steel. This jeep didn’t come with a glove box, I built one for it. It has the four cylinder hericaine engine that is real strong. And Dana 18. This is a civilian jeep, so it had a taile gate, but I was converting it to a 45 military, so I put in the solid rear panel. I only put it in one car show, and won 2nd place. That might have just been because of the gun. I don’t need to sale the jeep, I just don’t do anything with it anymore. I hate to see it not being used. I want someone new to enjoy it like I have. The browning 1919a4 that mounts to it, I have it in semiauto belt fed. I don’t want to sale it, but if the offer is good I will let it go with the jeep. I might be willing to trade for guns, or a jeep wrangler. $8,000 is just an opener, call me, let’s deal.”
