About eWillys
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.
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 .

(04/17/2012) Given the later model axles, there may be some parts value here, but not a whole jeep.
“his jeep has been my project for several years but I just don’t have the money to finish it and I don’t think I will any time soon. It has a complete body and I have alot of parts I have collected for it over the years. The body is complete but not all the body parts are on it in the picture It has a transmission (non PTO) but no engine. It has the usual rust problems and the frame is no good but I have an extra frame as well as later model axles and springs that are heavier than the stock ones. I would like to get around 700 or 800 but feel free to make me an offer. All the stuff I have for it is worth about 400-500 just in scrap weight and the parts are probably worth over 700 but I don’t want to part it out. I would like to see it go to someone who w ill be able to finish it. I can send pics opon request. ”
(01/12/2014) It says there is a rear PTO, but I don’t see the unit on the back.
“1948 WILLYS cj2a with rear power take off with 63 cj3b engine complete with 2 replacement fenders and grill comes with plow parts or repair engine doesn’t run will need to be towed 845-518 four 034”
The CJ-2A looks in good shape. It may go quickly. It is priced at $5,580, but you can also make an offer.
“Great running and fun to drive. Has current tags and inspection sticker. This jeep has been completely gone thru mechanically in 2013. Over $3500 spent in 2013. All new brake system in 2013. All wiring redone throughout for lighting and brakes. All guages working perfectly.

UPDATE: Was listed at $3300. **SOLD**. It has been fixed up and is now listed here.
(11/18/2013) “I have a 1948 willys cj2a for sale. I have had it for a couple years and been fixing it up to run around in, but don’t drive it that often. It has a new radiator, hoses, thermostat, carburetor, fuel pump, fuel tank, brake lines, shocks, tires, clutch and just has primer right now. Includes some seats but will need to be mounted in the passenger side. There is a few dings in the body but overall decent shape. It is a 3 speed shifts good and doesn’t kick out of gear 4wd and low/high both shift and work.”
“Alright CL, up for sale is my ’49 CJ2A. It’s got a 4 cylinder flat head and 3 speed tranny. Little background, I was given this by my grandfather a few years ago before he died, I had the intentions on making it a project for myself, but it’s just gonna take too long for me. It’s a restoration, not a project. Before I was given it he primarily used it around the property, my uncle told me he rebuilt the motor and tranny a few years before it was given to me. It doesn’t run now as i let it sit, i’m sure with new plugs, a carb cleaning and some fresh gas it will though. I always loved this thing so I’m not gonna let it go for dirt cheap, they’re not too easy to come by, but I also know it’s no museum peace,the body is pretty bad. Frame is surprisingly decent. No seats or seat brackets, when i first got it the seats were shot so I cut them out and planned on welding in new brackets for larger seats, but never did. It was always in a carport until last year when the snow destroyed it. Now it has multiple tarps over it. Look up what these go for, and make an offer.”
“1947 CJ2A Willys Jeep – Has hard top, wide wheels, back seat. Does not run right now, but when ran blew blue smoke. Have extra engine – needs crank polished and put back together. Other than the engine, all original and body in good condition.”
