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: **SOLD** Was $1400.
“I got a 47 willys with an 83 toyota drivetrain. The motor runs good but needs work on throttle cable and frame has some rust spots. The willys is sitting on 38.5 gumbo mudders tires alone are worth 600. I need money for new vehicle blew my motor in my truck thats the only reason for selling my toy.”
There may be some value here.
“1946 CJ2A. Title has been lost, but bill of sale will be provided. The Jeep appears to be complete except for windsheild, tailgate, and air cleaner assy. 2 inward facing rear seats with grab handles. Roll bar. Tow bar is attached, but welds need to be redone. All running gear appears to be stock. Engine will turn over by hand. Have not put a battery in it to check electrical system. Transmission shifter not not seem to change gears, so it will need some attention. Body is in great shape without any major dents and very little rust. I do not believe there is any rust through. This one would make a great restoration project, deer lease, or farm truck. I can get more pictures within a few days upon request. Need cash more than trades, and all reasonable offers will be considered.”

No reserve auction.
“I believe this is a 1946 Jeep, no title, plates. carburetor and starter. I parked. this car a few years ago. It was running. Present condition unknown.

SOLD AS IS…WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET…NO RESERVE other Jeep on pictures also for sale, trailer it is a 1946, also for sale , make me an offer”
It’s in good shape, but isn’t quite road worthy.
“1949 Willys CJ2A in good shape ready for the right person who can appreciate a classic. Frame is solid, engine and drivetrain in great shape, body is in good shape, could be road worthy for short money. I’m asking $2,200 and worth every penny! However, I will entertain offers.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(01/29/2010) “1947 Off-road Willy’s jeep, 4 cyl, 3/4 axles, lockers front and rear, low gear transfer case, 36 inch tires, good starter off-road vechicle”
It’s not completely stock, but runs, drives and appears solid.
“Stock 4 cyl flat head. Needs some work, but runs and drives. $1800.00 OBO.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200.
That may be a VEC body. This might be a good price.
“1948 Willys Jeep. Starts and runs strong! 4wd and Hi/Lo transfer case works great. Great paint with very little rust. Lots of original equipment (all original??).”
UPDATE: Was $3000
The floorboards have been replaced with diamond plating, but this looks pretty good. Note the seller has the following for sale as well: King-seely governor. Full PTO system with rear belt pulley drive. Tow bar. And an ultra-rare Ramsey Model 101 crank-driven winch (missing the driveshaft and clutch). I will pull these parts and sell separately unless purchaser would like to negotiate them in the deal.
“’46 CJ2a unmolested original. Completely rebuilt brakes — all new steel and rubber lines, shoes, master cylinders. Currently has a new Solex carb, original Carter WO (rebuilt) in a box. New fuel pump, original included. Replaced broken intake manifold with new replacement (broken original included). Still running the original 6v system, all original gauges, starter, and generator. New battery. All gauges work. Sears brand locking hubs. All lights work (only one tail light, no turn signals). 4wd system works.
Starts, runs, idles, and drives with no smoke. Trans shifts cleanly, understanding it is a non-syncro first gear. 4wd system functions well, and yes, I really use it to pull loaded trailers, play in the snow, and drag things around the yard. I drive it (untagged) around the neighborhood regularly and easily hit 30-40mph with no problems — never had it any faster. I have let it idle for an hour, never overheats — actually, I have to put some cardboard over the radiator to keep it warm in the winter.
Body is in very good original shape relative to other unrestored 2a’s. There are a few rust-through spots, would be fairly easily replaced with plain sheet metal, or drive it as is. Driver/passenger floors were replaced at some point with diamondplate. Rear bed is in great shape. Original seats. Windshield was modified to have a single pane glass instead of the split glass. Single 6v wiper was added, that does work. Tailgate works and is in great shape. Body serial numbers match (tub/tailgate), also in line with the production serial number, and its in line with the engine block number. Hat channels are rusted. Frame is completely solid, suspension has performed well, and the steering is relatively tight. I have a lift and we can put it up in the air to look at the bottom side.
Several accessories are available, but not included at the posted price. King-seely governor. Full PTO system with rear belt pulley drive. Tow bar. And an ultra-rare Ramsey Model 101 crank-driven winch (missing the driveshaft and clutch). I will pull these parts and sell separately unless purchaser would like to negotiate them in the deal.
Photos available, or come by and I’ll get it out of the garage. Its a very cool old rig that deserves to stay original. I already have a highly modified Jeep, and could use some my garage space back.”
UPDATE: Was $5500. Status Unknown
This looks like it could use paint, but otherwise might be a pretty solid jeep.
“all original runs great !!!..New tires and rims,two new seats ,brand new 12 volt battery and Generator. just paid for new reg. I have owned it for over 15 years.”
This looks like a fair price.
“this is a frame springs and axles with tires tub is not inclued thanks frank 707-484-5251 ”
