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 $2000
(05/27/2010) There have been a few mods to this, but it might not be a bad price. The rear is missing the original full floating hubs.
“
1944 jeep will 4×4 great project car if you are interested for this fun summer car”
UPDATE: The original NelleBelle sold for $116,000 at Christie’s in the summer of 2010, which is much higher than the $20k-30k it was estimated it would bring.
Jim forwarded this for our viewing pleasure. So if I understand this correctly, this is a replica of Nellybelle, but wasn’t actually in the show? You can learn much more about NellyBelle and Roy Rogers and the CJ-3B Page.
‘This is the 1946 Willys CJ-2A Jeep named NELLYBELLE II, and made to replicate the jeep NELLYBELLE from the ROY ROGERS TV show from the 1950’s. It has been on display at the Roy Rogers/Dale Evans Museum in Branson,Mo. This is a piece of History of the 50’s Hollywood television history. It’s in excellent condition as it was at the museum as it has been garaged since we bought it. It starts fine but will smoke some,tires are a little dry.Has new brakes and drums, a new fuel pump. Beautiful piece of memorabilia to expose at parades,auto show,etc..”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
(10/31/2010) Those funky seats need to go, but otherwise this looks like a good price.
“American classic .. just replaced steering gear box and new clutch and is fully functional. Lots of replaced parts, lights and signals all work. You will love driving this one! Must sell, reasonable offers considered. Title in hand.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,995.
This looks like a beautifully restored CJ-2A. The MC engine indicates this (the head or engine) was originally out of a M-38.
“Thanks for viewing my auction, I am selling with NO RESERVE, my 1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A. This Jeep was restored 7 years ago. Every nut and bolt was removed. All components on this Jeep have been disassembled, repaired, rebuilt, refurbished and or replaced. It is painted in the original Willys colors of Normandy Blue with Sunset Red wheels with black stripe. The vehicle was done by Professional automotive technicians who specialize in Willys restorations. The cost to correctly restore a CJ2A would exceed 25,000.00. My starting bid is 11,995.00
There are no modifications that have been made to this Jeep, There are some places where there were stainless nuts and bolt were used instead of steel. The body is a replacement steel body, It does include the PTO with hard to find safety guard and Monarch governor. The governor to carburator rod has been removed , but is included with the Jeep, along with the original top bows however no canvas is included.
The paint is PPG base clear also included is the left over paint for touch if required.
This jeep starts, runs and drives like a new 1947 CJ2A, It has only 500 miles since this complete restoration, you are welcome to come and see it, no disappointments here. The engine number (behind the water pump) is MC75860.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“1946 Willys CJ2A in original almost rustfree condition, there is slight surface rust on the under body and one spot of rust on a hat channel at one of the mounting bolts. The inner windshield has rust around the glass area and probably could be replaced. The body itself has normal farm use dents and dings but nothing serious and would be a easy restoration, the area around the side holes are probably the worst they had a rubber cover bolted to both of them see picture, I have had it about 20 years and enjoyed it as is. Mechanically it runs great and everything works, including the originak key coil switch, has normal leaks at some of the seals. The brake lines wheel cylinders and master cylinder have all been replaced. The seats have powder coated frames and replacement cushions covered with vynil, the rear seat is a reproduction. Original seat pans springs and coverings go with the Willys. Wheels are powder coated with white vynil strpes and almost new non directional tires. I believe the Willys a has about 29,000 miles as it has on the speedometer. The wireharness could stand replacing, horn button doesn’t work but the horn does, windshied glass is a litttle scratched. The Willys comes with a complete all original Monroe three point hitch with a motor mounted hydraulic pump not installed.PTO with rear gear box and farm belt pulley and governor,V belt pulley for generator or welder, belt driven buss saw I believe it’s a Newgren and a peson that has a Newgren saws the brass tag is right. Front bumper weight, complete operational Linkbelt capstan winch with most original parts, rope roller assy is a reproduction and winch drive bracket is fabricated from steel and works well. Also has original owners manual, chaff screen, and complete set of top bows.”
This looks like a nice CJ-3A.

This CJ-2A looks good. The seller reports this has a knock; it might be worth checking the harmonic balancer to see if that’s causing the problem.

(07/13/2010) Samuel Clemens (aka Mark Twain) once said that the coldest winter he ever experienced was a summer in San Francisco. Well, I lived in Aptos (just south of Santa Cruz, Cali) for several years and I’d argue it’s summers were every bit as cold or colder than SF when that damn fog rolled in, which seemed to be every evening! Fortunately, I only had to drive to the next town (1 mile away) and the fog would disappear …
Anyway, here’s a nice looking CJ-2A that lived somewhere close to where I was (aptos is a pretty tiny town).
“1947 Willy’s jeep original everything, under 8k miles been garaged most of it’s life and really wants to go 4 wheeling. no rust, no dents engine still looks shiny and new. If you have wanted a Willy’s this is your chance to start with the original right down to the military style tires! everything works great, runs great just needs a home with less vehicles so it can be driven. Paid 8k for this awesome truck back a few years ago it has been driven twice since then. I just don’t have the time and too many cars. So come give this little red jeep a good home I would like to get 6000. but will consider all offers. I can hear her crying in the garage wanting to go out to the wide open trails, someone come help her out.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5400.
I sure think that is a fiberglass body. I don’t see any body seams.
“Clear AZ title.1948 Willy’s flat fender JP body style, strong stock running gear. I recently replaced all steering linkage, Battery, alternet-regulator and Brake master cylinder. Immaculate apperance, body and interior.”
