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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .

“1952 Willys Jeep. M38 body stretched 10 in. with an MB grill
This jeep was hand built using an International scout frame
shortened to a 97 inch wheel base. The Scout frame is a very sturdy boxed frame. The body is an M38 body (new steel after market 100% rust free) stretched 10 inches in the door ways to match the wheel base. We installed a carbureted Ford 302 ci. engine because it is light weight and quick to rev. We backed the engine with a heavy duty clutch and a smooth shifting T-5 transmission with a 300 transfer case. Dana 44 Axles with disk brakes front and rear, 427 gears in rear ends and Richmond spools front & rear. Also there are polished stainless steel covers on both rear ends. We installed custom made Twin sticks ( in & out of 4 wheel drive, and high & low gears ) for specialized off roading. There is High clearance leaf spring brackets for easier access over obstacles. Revolver shackles (front) to aid in articulation. Full role cage tied to frame, and heavy duty nerf bars to protect the body sides.
Corbeau racing seats with 5 point racing harness.
Ramsey 12,000 lb. winch (new never used)
Mickey Thompson aluminum bead locks with Superswamper TSL 33in. tires on the rear. (also have a set for the front at an additional cost if wanted)
Buckshot’s on aluminum slots in front.
Custom made bumpers front & rear
Aluminum gas tank with ¼ in. diamond plate skid plate
Bikini top and a new matching 2 A wind shield needs glass
Has blackout marker lights and the dash switch
The color is PT Cruiser Gold with hammered silver floors
This Jeep is easy to drive both on the high way and off road
It’s quiet a show piece and turns a lot of heads.”
UPDATE: WAs $2500. **SOLD**
It’s got some floor board holes and more issues.
“We used it up around our cabin for many years. We sold the cabin three years ago and brought the Jeep home and put it in our barn. We now realize that while it is very cool – we aren’t going to use it.
The bad:
– The driver and passenger floors have rust holes. They are from before we owned it. They have been primered and are not rotting. The Jeep has been garaged for the last 10+ years.
– The front passenger fender is bent.
– We tried to move it last year and while it did start and run great – we found the clutch plate rusted to the flywheel. We’re not sure what it will take to free it.
– It pops out of 2nd if you slow down without holding it in gear.
– I gave about 30 seconds of effort to start the jeep this year and had no luck. No fuel was getting to the electric fuel pump. Looks like the rubber lines might be cracked and the pump is sucking air or could be something else. We’re hoping to find someone who likes to tinker with that stuff to sell it to.
– The steering is not tight
The good:
– It did drive into the barn where it is parked and we were driving it on the road at the time
– It is in good shape overall – far from a basket case
– It has warn winch
– It has a cargo rack on back
– All of the original army plaques and tags are present
– It shouldn’t take too much work to get it back on the road
– It is a ton of fun, gets attention everywhere it goes and until we stopped using it, was very reliable.”

“1948 CJ2A Jeep Willys. It does not have a transmission but everything else appears to be there. Has a motor but have never heard it run. I do not want to go through the hassle of parting it out so ill let somebody take it out of here for $800. I know it is worth more than that in parts so the right guy can make some serious cash off it. The body seems to be pretty free of rust considering its age. No title and will need to be towed or trailered out of here. It rolls and steers just fine. Call or Text any time. Please no dumb offers. $800.”
It’s a project.
“For Sale are several items. First is a 1946 Jeep CJ2A. This Jeep has a 4.3L V6 in it. Extra parts the Jeep has are as follows: two windshields (one solid, one that splits in half), two aluminum doors, home made bumpers, two hoods, two steering columns, extra front and rear axle, two extra transmissions and transfer cases. Old set of tires and rims. I was planning a disk conversion and have a new XJ pedal assembly with a new clutch and brake master cylinder (the old is still attached, have a new master cylinder for that also). I also have the seats out of an XJ for this Jeep. I also have a new aluminum radiator. Unfortunately, it is mostly in parts right now, the body and motor/transmission are on the frame, but it is not in running order. Asking $1300 (this vehicle has a title).
Separately, I have an unused Rancho 2.5 inch lift kit for a CJ2A with RS-5000 shocks and the swing shackles (these were extra, not included in the kit). Asking $550 (firm) for the entire kit (has 4 springs, 4 shocks, swing shackles and hardware).
Lastly, I have a set of Advance Adapters Jeep outside frame rail headers (PN 717019-HDR, one is painted black, the other is still bare steel, also have the gaskets). These are also unused. Asking $250 for these (firm).”

Needs a few parts.
“It missing the radiator and need a battery but other than that it’s all there. The engine is free and will turn over with a battery hooked up to it. It is a former army jeep and the title has been lost over time. Would make a great restoration project I just don’t have the time for it right now. Fill free to call or text me with any questions or for more pictures.”

Tim forwarded this parts rig.
“I’m getting ready to scrap an old 1948 or 1949 Willys station wagon. There isn’t much on it that is any good at all, except for the desirable Overdrive transmission. It I’m pretty sure the trans is a T-96 model. The trans is still in the car, and you will have to remove it yourself.
Want to buy the transmission?
Bring your tools and $75 cash.
Want to buy the whole car?
Bring a trailer, your own wheels and tires and $76 cash.
Want to buy the whole Willys and the dolly that it is sitting on?
Bring your own wheels and tires and $425 cash?
Just to be perfectly clear, there is no way that the wheels and tires are going with this. I need them for another vehicle. The wheels are 5 bolt with a 4 1/2 inch bolt pattern, the same as Ford Rangers, Crown Victorias, Mercury Marquis, etc.”

(05/27/2014) It doesn’t run.
“Deciding to part with one of my projects,
It’s a 1946 Willys CJ2a
“Go Devil” 4 cyl engine- Turns over but can’t get it running, will fire occasionally but not run.
Tub is pretty rusty, I started to cut out some spots and removing some of the old layers of paint but if you want to restore it it would probably be easier to buy a new tub
Frame is solid
Newer brakes, new Solex carb(carter WO included) new points, condenser, coil, and plug wires. Have a new fuel pump for it but have not put it on.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
Lee’s decided to sell his CJ-2A.
“This is a 1947 CJ 2 A. This Jeep was bought new in Calif.by the Edison Co. and used for four years and then sold. My friend bought it from the Edison Co. in Calif. and then took it up to his cabin in the Sierra mountains and used it. It was stored in a shed when not used. Then it was moved to his hangar and stored and that is where it is now. That was 49 years ago! I am the third owner since new. I have owned this Jeep for over 8 year. This Jeep has very little rust. I had the rims sand blasted and painted and installed 5 new tires and tubes.
5 new tires and tubs
rims sand blasted and painted

$4,700.00 or trade for 1978 to 1985 CJ 7”
