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 .

Perfect for the next Road Warrior movie.
“have a 47 willys jeep runs and drives great, four wheel drive works. the body has been modified, looks more like a mud buggy. the engine, trans and running gears are all factory. everything is their as factory other than the body. interested in trading or saleing, if you have an offer throw it out there you never know. i like anything that that has a engine and wheels, any kinda parts that u may have (chevy parts mainly) has no tittle is for off road only, you can file for a savagle tittle but it is 47 jeep with the top speed of about 40 mph not really highway material.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
This appears solid, though the area around the steps might have some rust (hence the primer).
“1947 Willys CJ2A. All orginal. Very good condition. Runs great. Seat in rear is easily removable. Clean Title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
This might be worth a look if the body really is good. The passenger rear quarterpanel certainly has some dents.
“This is a 1949 CJ2A Jeep. It is a 4 cylinder 3 speed. It runs good, and has a good body. Please call me with any questions you have, or to set up a time to come look at it”
UPDATE: Pics now provided and price dropped to $5999.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This was a barn find that has had some work done.
“This Jeep just began rolling the streets after it was in a barn for over 20 years. I arested the surface rust on the outside and it still remains to be adressed underneath. The tool box is shot but still holds some gear. Surface rust uinderneath is not bad. The tool box area is the worst. The jeep has a couple spots on the floor level on the outsides that needs cut out, patched and painted but not bad. I put a 12 volt alternater and lights in the unit and new emergency breaks. New plugs, points and condenser. I replaced the main break and fuel line and fuel tank. New master break cylinder. I had to repair the fuel pump attachment. One bolt was sheared off and it was inop. I have an extra fuel filter on it now too. I love to four wheel drive in it. There is no stoping it. I get so much attention from Every age group that its embarrasing. I drive with the windshield down. There is no glass in the passenger side. No seat belts as of yet. All the lights work and are new. I installed one break light. The horn is a jewell and people love to hear it. There is no top or roll bar. I like it as origional as possible. Simple, clean and fun and handy. Can deliver.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This looks solid. Just needs to be completed.
“For sale is a 1948 Willys CJ2A. Have a clear title in my name and ready to sign over. Bought this as a project to finish up some day but new baby and new house changes plans. Always stored inside since I have owned it. Runs great and starts every time. 4wd with high and low range. Fun toy in the summer. Did a lot of work to it after I got it. Rebuilt the carburator, new bushings and all new electrical for the distributor. Had to rebuild the tranny and fix the synchronizers. Found another gear at the end of the transmission that drives the attached transfer case needed replaced. All new seals in that. New exhaust from the manifold back. Had to repair two cracks at the bottom of the windshield frame from the top that was on it (that is the orange/brown paint you see). Have a new sending unit in the gas tank but haven’t hooked it up. Gas gauge does work. New temp gauge. Lights work. Sure there is more.
The body is nice and solid. There has been new floors welded in up front. The back is all origional and has the loops in the bed and on the fenders for the canvas top like they use to have. The hat channels underneath are gone like on most if not all willys I have seen. I was going to replace but does not effect the function of the vehicle at all. Seats have been re-covered and have some nice foam to smooth out any ride and a water proof fabric to cover it. Works well.
The tires that are on it have a ton of tread, but have some cracks and back right tire looks almost like a re-tread with the crack on it. I still drive it down the road just fine and around the farm here without any problems. To sell with it is another set of three newer radial bf goodrich all terrains (31×10.5 R15), good tread on them just slashed one when it was on my old truck and sold it. Also included is the aluminum top that came with it when I bought it. Fit’s nice just don’t have doors for it so I took it off, looks better that way. Have vacume wiper motors to go with as well.”
There may be some value here.

(08/25/2012) Lots of diamond plating. The work on the fender looks pretty good for diamond plating.
“1946, Willys CJ2A. Hand built body, Runs good, 3 speed with optional overdrive seperate shifter. Newer Best top soft top. New bikkini top. 12 volt conversion, electric fuel pump. Rear mounted fuel cell 12.5 gallons. Good Tires, aprox 80 percent. New Solex carb installed. New heater, still in the box. New rear main, still in the box. I have driven it to and from the office several times and put several miles on it. The engine is out of a 54 model Willys. It turns heads everywhere I go. You won’t be disapointed. The price is firm. I have checked all over and I have seen alot of CJ’s for a lot more money that aren’t even close to its condition. I am only selling because I am moving out of state to Oregon. Please contact me if you are interested. This price is firm and it won’t last very long. I can be reached from 9:00 am – 7:30 pm Monday through Saturday. I am out of state and won’t be back to Oklahoma until September 3. Sorry for any inconvenience. I’m not able to show or sale it until then. I have a clear title for cash.
Thanks,
