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: Status Unknown. Was listed at $1500
(07/05/09) “1942 Willys CJ2A on a CJ3A Frame Stretched 5” Mid door, 2 Wheel Drive, Dana 44 Posi with 5.88 Gear Ratio. rolling chassy and body roll cage no engine or trans. ( 2 will drive sand racer). Need to sell.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900.
It’s not much of a VEC any more, but it still has the indents at the very least. The tires and rims appear in good condition. This might be a good price. The seller notes there is no rust, but there is an odd plate underneath the passenger step.
“Runs, no rust,283v8,less than 300 mi on motor,roll cage.bikini top,lifted, many extras,custom made rack on back removable,good tires 5 total”
I’m not sure what’s all here.
“Basket case. Flat fenders. Body rough.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
Assuming the data plate belongs to this jeep, I’d guess this jeep to be a late ’46 at the earliest — not that it really matters given the custom mods.
“NO TITLE NOT SURE IF IT WAS BUILD BY SOMEBODY OR IT IS ORGINAL WITH THE BED.WHEN I BOUGHT IT THE OLDER GENTELMAN SAID IT IS A 1945 BUT I’M NOT SURE WHAT YEAR IT IS IT’S AROUND THAT YEAR FOR SURE. HAS A FLATHEAD 4. HAS 3 SPEED TRANS IT RUNS AND DRIVES IT JUST DON’T HAVE BRAKES.HAS LOW AND HIGH RANGE 4 WEEL DRIVE ALL WORKS DO HAVE WINDSHEILD TO GO WITH IT.”
If the front half of the body is still sound (which I doubt), this might be an interesting restoration as something unusual.
“FOR SALE; 1948 Jeep Willys; Great Restoration Project! Respond with name and number if interested.”

I can’t tell if it runs or not.
“Project vehicle. Serious inquiries only please”
It runs, but is rough.

If the body parts are as good as advertised, this might not be a bad price.
“1948 CJ2A Clear title. I bought this in May 2010 with thoughts about a project but have decided I will never get the time . Motor turns over freely and have got it to fire but have not had it running. Jeep is complete otherwise. Body, grill, hood, and passenger front fender are replacements and are in very good condition. Driver front fender, tailgate, and windsheild frame are original. Tailgate is pretty good but windshield frame is fair. Comes with 9 tires and wheels. 4 wheels are like new with execellent millitary tires. I also have a spare T-90 transmisson, head, original hood, new tailgate. Various other parts. needs brake work. ”
The seller is pretty accurate about the bad mods. Also note the welds and patches on the front rails of the frame.
“Rare early CJ2A Good Restoration Candidate. I recently came across this running, drivable early CJ2A as part of a package deal for a few jeeps I bought. The serial number is 48165 which puts it in the middle of 1946 after the switch from column shifts back to shifter on the floor.
This jeep has served as a gas station plow jeep for the past forty years. It starts right up and runs well, shifts fine and remarkably the brakes work. It appears that new leaf springs were put on it sometime ago. The engine appears to be the original CJ block with an MB head on it. It runs smooth with no smoke or strange noises. Valve tappets are a little noisy like most flathead engines are. Drivetrain appears to be original including the 16 inch wheels.Unfortunately Bubba got his hands this jeep so the following things will need attention as it is restored:
The plow rig has damaged the front frame horns – they have been rewelded, but not a pretty sight ….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2750.
I can’t see much from the pic.
“Willys Jeep, runs great, 4×4 works awesome, good tires. This is the perfect jeep for the upcoming deer hunt, as it is small and can get to many places to pull your prize out of the woods. May be willing to trade for truck, motorcycle, 4 wheeler, etc. Please don’t call asking if I would like to trade for a collection of “Star wars DVD’S or anything else like the DVDS!”
