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 $1800
Some good parts, but lots of work left.
“1948 Willys Jeep CJ 2A project. 289 Ford small block. Original running gear. Tub has some rust, definitely a project. $1800.00 OBO would be willing to trade for quad or boat. Mike cell 503-369-5343 hm”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
There may be some value here.
“This jeep proudly and unselfishly gave it’s heart to keep a nice old army jeep alive a little longer. Now I have the complete body and frame with a rear bed full of spare parts. The tires are brand new with just a couple of miles on them to drive it here for surgery. There is a f-head 134 four cylinder engine that goes with this project. I have the radiator, an extra hood, basically every thing to complete it. I do not have a title for it, so bill of sale – parts only- kind of thing. I am told it has the ID number still plated on the frame. There is a roll bar, diamond plate corners, diamond plate “running boards” that reinforce the fender and lower tub. Windshield needs glass. Seats are faded, but useable for awhile longer. I may have extra axles, etc . also. Calls only please. I am still getting spam from the last time I replied to an ad with my email address.”
It appears solid and stock.

You can probably get this for less. It appears very stock.

This doesn’t look all that rough, though the tranny and tc are out.
“All original, rough condition. Motor turns over but doesn’t start. Transmission pulled. Dad drove and parked in barn 15 years ago. Have title but hasn’t been registered since then. Please call 563-213-0059.”

It’s solid enough to go down a hill. Can’t tell much more from the pic.
“1946 Willys CJ2A. Engine was rebuilt. Runs great. Flat 4 “go devil” engine. Partially restored. This would make a great project. Selling cause I don’t have the room for it anymore. Feel free to email me with any questions or if you would like to see more pictures. Thanks.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
(07/22/2010) There’s a bit of a hole in the hood, but otherwise looks pretty good.
“1946 Willy’s CJ2A $5,000.00. **F-head 4 cylinder motor (not the original flat head) **Solid Rhino Lined floors, **1″ body lift, **New 29″ military tires, **New gas tank. This Jeep runs well and can be driven as is. It needs some work to be completely reliable or can be restored. The frame is solid and the floors are new. The body is usable, but showing its age. Some of the wiring is new, the starter is rebuilt, as well as the head. It has a new carburetor, new spark plugs, coil, cap, rotor, and a new battery.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $20,995
(05/08/2010) “This Jeep went through a total body-off, fully documented professional restoration in Pennsylvania 3-years ago at a cost of over $50,000. Painted in the rare factory correct Normandy Blue makes this CJ stand out. It has been driven only 300 miles since restoration in parades and shows. An ideal addition to any collection or ready for regular use. Everything works as new. Call for more details and photos”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700
(07/16/2009) Given the body is new there is some real value here.
“1948 Willys Flat Fender CJ2A. Small block Chevy V-8 with Edelbrock manifold, Holley 4bbl and HEI. SM465 4 speed, AA adapter, Dana 18 T-case, Saginaw power steering, On plated and reinforced original frame and axles with a spring over. Brand new body tub, front fenders, tailgate. The new body kit was $3,000.00 alone. Willys scripted hood. Good used Windshield. Includes collector lisc plate and a couple boxes of spare parts including some military black-out lights and some extra beige paint. Supposedly most of the frame work was done by TC’s off road in Kent a few years back. Not my project, bought it for the new body, but decided to go 3B High Hood instead.”
