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 .
UPDATE: This sold. Was listed at $13,500. I got a chance to look at this up close.
(03/09/2013) “This 1947 Willy’s CJ2A is a striking example of a piece of American history that has been meticulously maintained and cared for over the past 60 years.
With a 3 speed transmission, powered by an updated Dauntless 225 V6 motor, and front and rear Power Take Off, this Willy’s is sure to impress at car shows, or off roading.

“This jeep is not 100% original but the body and engine are. It’s a good runner and I have taken it on trips over 100 miles round trip. It has what it to be believed to be 20k miles.”

I restored this jeep 6 years ago and I has about 2000 miles since then… The original 134 flat head engine was rebuilt .040 over and hardened valve seats were installed. the frame was sandblasted/ painted and everything was gone through. It is 12 volt with an alternator, the gauges were upgraded as were the bucket seats, and it has a rear mounted stainless fuel tank. It does have turn signals and I do have the wiper motors which are not installed”
No pics provided. It’s disassembled.
“I have a 47 Willys jeep, CJ2a, it was a good running jeep, I have completely disassembled it for restoration, but now I do not have the time to finish. It is a titled and registered jeep, the tub has some rust but nothing not repairable, the frame is good, all parts there plus a few new parts. Again this is a restore project and it is completely disassembled, make a great project for someone with the time to finish it. I don’t need to sell but just seeing if there is any interest.

This looks to be a CJ-2A column shift drivetrain topped with a MB/GPW body. I suspect the drain holes were added later. The front bumper is odd.
“1946 WILLYS CJ2A, VIN NO. CJ2A30868A, this is an early column shift, it has what appears to be a WWII composite body, a jeep guy told me that he thought they used left over WWII jeep body parts on very early CJs. It could be, as it has the CJ factory drain holes in the sides, the glove box opening shows no lid or box ever being installed, the rear tool boxes show no signs of ever having a lid installed. Maybe someone can verify that information.
The previous owner stated the engine was rebuilt, it starts quick, runs smooth and does not smoke and has 25-30 psi oil pressure.
Has been changed over to 12 volt electrics with alternator, windshield wiper, turn signals, stop lights, headlights, electric fuel pump.
Starts, drives and stops, new gas tank, 4 wheel drive works good, transmission works, but nosy in 1st and reverse and sometimes hard to shift (you can’t shift fast), second and third is quiet and shifts smooth, steering is tight and holds good running down the road, did not jump out of second, suspension is pretty quiet and it has like new tires that are balanced. Roll bar is bolted on, so removing would be easy. It has indoor carpet, but appears to have no rust through.
Just registered (has black sticker which means it has no liability ins.) and new correct title will be in this week.
It is ready to go play and not worry about messing up the rattle can paint job (so it would be one color, not several). The seats are after market, but easier to get in/out and have more belly room.”
