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 .
A project or a parts jeep.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500
(11/19/2010) The seller notes there is no rust anywhere, but that sure looks like surface rust on the hood? Also, it sounds like it doesn’t run given it needs a new water pump? This looks solid.
“THIS IS A TRUE BARN FIND… THIS WILLYS HAS BEEN IN A BARN FOR OVER 14 YEARS !!! YOU WILL NOT FIND A STRAIGHTER OF MORE COMPLETE WILLYS AROUND !! THERE IS NO RUST ON THE JEEP…AND THE METAL IS ALL STRAIGHT. THE SEATS ARE IN PERFECT SHAPE. I TRAILERED THIS JEEP HOME AND GOT IT RUNNING, I HAVE THE NEW FUEL TANK AND WATER PUMP IT NEEDS. I ALSO HAD THE WHEELS SANDBLASTED AND POWDER COATED BLACK AND PUT 5 NEW TIRES ON HER. THE TOP IS IN FAIR SHAPE… BUT… UNDER THE BACK SEAT WAS A BRAND NEW, NEVER OUT OF THE PACKAGE BIKINI TOP FOR THE JEEP!!! THIS HAS MANY OF THE PLUS’S YOU WANT TO FIND BUT CAN’T… BOW HOLDERS, JERRY CANS AND THE BRACKETS, SIDE STEPS AND SPARE TIRE CARRIER”
This is listed as a 3A, but the serial number of 211105 suggests a late 2A. This has a variety of mods, including a cool-air intake.
“This particular ’48 CJ3A has had thousands of dollars invested in it to make it what you see today. This jeep has been assembled and maintained by a master mechanic that is certified under 9 different automotive brands. He has used only the best parts while assembling this off road machine and has spent thousands of dollars doing so. Included with the Jeep is a 1965 M416 military trailer. This is an authentic military trailer but has had a tailgate cut into it. It wears the same, matching wheels and tires as the jeep that pulls it….”
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $3500.
(10/11/2010) This looks pretty nice for the price.
“1947 willys cj2a jeep. Orig L-134 engine, runs great call for info. Lots of stuff”
This appears to have a M-38 body.
“1948 Jeep Willy’s, Dayna 44 axles front and rear, 31 x 10 1/2 x 15 tires, needs carburetor rebuild, and brake job (have the pads). Great project car, serious offers only.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
It is rough.
“Colonial Park $500 OBO – 1946 Jeep Willy CJ-2A. Good for parts only. Includes transmission, transfer case, front & rear axles, suspension, steering, NO Engine, NO Title, No Serial #. PARTS ONLY.”
UPDATE: Was $5400.
I almost missed it … the rear portion of the body is a CJ-5.
“1949 Willys CJ2A. I bought this Jeep in 03, had it shipped from Utah. I had the engine
rebuilt, had the transmission gone through and also had the rear end rebuilt. Also it has new front end parts, new exhaust, new water pump, new radiator, new brake parts (shoes and cylinders) and I had the drums turned. There is some surface rust underneath. It’s in excellent running condition. Price is $5400.00 or best reasonable offer. Pickup only. Cash only.”
Clearly, this has some issues….
“I have a 1948 CJ 2a Willys for sale. I bought it as a parts vehicle for my other one. Time and money have not permitted me to work on this project. I need room in the garage because I have too many projects going on. It does not run. No title. It has lock out hubs on the front axle. It needs work and could make you a project or parts. Some of the photos are from the day I brought it home a few years back. the grill, fenders, hood, and windshield have been removed, but I still have them.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
(11/02/2010) It sounds like this runs. It might be a good price.
“This is a rare 1947 Willy’s CJ2 a. Single barrel carb with new rebuilt tranny. This jeep is for the serious collector or someone who appreciates the CJ jeep line. Minimal rust. Back left quarter panel damage. If your looking for a great project, this is it.”
