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 $200
(06/18/2012) Well, the price is right. Now, what does it fit?
“6′ wide by 11′ long has all hardware intact zippers, fasteners, etc
2 windows, one has small crack in plastic, one of the zippers may need a little adjustment, and the color is a bit faded on the red
probably fits a Willys”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
(04/19/2012) “IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A GREAT WILLYS YOU WILL HAVE TO FIND ONE IN THIS GOOD OF CONDITION LOTS OF NEW PARTS CALL FOR INFO”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This doesn’t run, but it has floating hubs, which suggests this might be a VEC. This doesn’t have a column shift.
“Nice little cj2a. NO rust, nice shape, not running”
The seller is willing to trade the top for some CJ-2A Parts.
“This is a Beachwood canvas military style soft top.it is in like new condition and I have all of the hardware. I believe this was a custom ordered item to work on a cj2a.i also have a cover for the complete jeep for when this top is installed. This is a very nice set up and the cover has never been used.i would consider trades for some other 2a parts that I need or maybe a full or half cab hard top.guns or cash 301 991 348seven”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
This is at Mercedes Benz of Melbourne. Apparently, they don’t know how to install a top?
“THIS IS A RESTORED 1947 WILLYS – Dealer inspection, This WILLYS is in Excellent overall exterior condition, Excellent overall interior condition, seats – This 1947 WILLYS JEEP CLOTH Truck . It is equipped with a Manual transmission. The vehicle is Green with a Green interior. It is offered As-Is, not covered by a warranty. – AM-FM”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on ebay.
That’s a pretty rare top.
“Up for sale is a 1963 Willys Universal Jeep with only 20,595 miles. This is a 2 owner Jeep with a Hurricane 4 Cyl engine and famous 4 wheel drive. The drive train is in very good condition and a new Fuel Pump, Carburator, and master cyl. have been installed. The tires are like new.
This jeep was bought new by the Antioch, Ill volunteer fire department and was used to fight grass and brush fires for years. Please see the picture of a similarily equipped jeep in this add and a period advertisement for the unit. A member of the fire department purchased this jeep and has owned it for many years. It has been carefully housed in Florida for some time and was only used as transportation to the Fort Myers Beach. There are a couple of pictures showing some minor body rust spots.
This is your chance to own a classic Jeep in very good operating condition. With some minor body work, it will clearly make someone an excellent piece of automotive history.
The successful buyer is responsible for transportation expense from Fort Myers Fl. The seller will accept a cashier’s check or cash on or before delivery of the unit. A deposit of $1000 is required within 5 working days of the close of the auction. The balance will be due prior to transport and transfer of title. Also the seller reserve the right to close this sale or auction at his descretion because the Jeep is for sale locally. The owner does not express or imply any warranty coverage of this vehicle. The sale will be on an “as is” basis.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800.
(01/11/2011) I suspect this was more likely produced somewhere between 1943 and the beginnings of the CJ-7.
“This is a nice and clean Willys Jeep. It is titled as a 1943 but is most likely a post war model. The serial number is GPW122460 which should help identify it for lovers of these jeeps. It is in great condition. It runs great and has 56,775 miles. New tires and a nice seat covers with a matching top makes this a great looking vehicle. It’s currently registered as an Antique Vehicle and is a great collector item.”
Blaine spotted this CJ-5 with a factory V8 at Ecola St. Park along the Coast of Oregon. The angle top is pretty rare, though it could use some retightening.
This appears solid.

How about this unusual top?
“I have for sale a Willys JEEP CJ2A. The jeep is currently titles as a 1972 because it is very hard in my state to get a new title. The original serial number is on the jeep. The jeep is tagged and i have driven it alot on the road. The jeep has always performed very well for me. The body has been patched over the years with new metal, (no bondo that i can see). The frame is in good shape. All the brakes have been replaced, (master cyl., wheel cyl., lines, shoes, ect. ). The wire harness has been updated to 12 volt and all the lights work fine. The 4 wheel drive also works great. The engine runs good and all the gears work fine in the trans. The water pump is new and the starter is rebuilt. I bought this jeep when i retired 5 years ago to pull a wagon with firewood out of the woods, I am older now and find it hard to get in and out of so i bought a tractor instead. This is a really fun little jeep and i hope some one will enjoy it as much as i have. This is a reserve auction and i will not reveal the price. The jeep is being sold “AS IS” with NO WARRANTY”. There is a $500.00 non-refundable deposit required within 48 hrs of end of auction. If you have any questions or would like to make an appointment to inspect the jeep before bidding yo may call me at 443-553-2712 my name is MIke. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The seller provides a long, detailed list about this jeep. It also includes a food storage box (grub box). I think that is a custom top.
“It has a 4-speed gearbox with the lowest gear ratio of 6:1. The 4-cylinder, 2.3 liter Ford engine was rebuilt less than 5,000 miles ago. The Saturn overdrive was rebuilt about 1,500 miles ago. It was purchased by the current non-smoking owner in 1977 and complete maintenance records are included. The jeep is fully operational, licensed through January 2012 and can be driven as is . . . visit the bay ad to learn more.”
UPDATE: Was $8000. **SOLD** Looks like it has a Muller Top.
(08/30/2010) Here’s an unusual CJ.
“1946 WIllys CJ2A Jeep custom built.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
It doesn’t run at the moment, but looks solid.
“This is a 95% complete and original Willys CJ-2A. It is a perfect unmolested candidate for restoration to drive in a parade or to the beach this summer. It has always been stored indoors. The original L-134 Go Devil engine turns over freely with its own starter. I do not have time for this project and so I am choosing to sell it. I am including a spare Borg Warner T90 transmisison and Dana Spicer Model 18 transfer case for parts. Consider trade for wide front end farm tractor.”

When someone lists a jeep as ‘professionally restored’, it is only natural that I’ll examine it a little more closely. It appears sound, but sports an early CJ-2A grille, doesn’t have the bow holders, and is missing, as best as I can tell, windshield wipers. The custom looks nice. The strangest issue, in my mind, is that there is white paint around the edges of the gauges (probably just taped off the gauges), which doesn’t look all that professional to me.
“1948 WILLYS JEEP MODEL CJ-2A 4 CYLINDER 4 WHEEL DRIVE,THAT HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY RESTORED TO SHOW CONDITION.WITH BEAUTIFUL RED PAINT (ORIGINAL COLOR) AND A NEW CONTRASTING ORIGINAL STYLE AND COLOR BLACK SEAT INTERIOR.

The price might be good on this. I can’t tell if there’s rust across the rear bottom of the windshield or if that’s just an illusion.
