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 $4500
This CJ looks very nice and appears very complete. I’m negotiating a special project and will snap this one up if everything works out soon.
“Willys 1946 CJ2A with Buick 231 V6, Dual Exhaust, Dana 44 Posi rear, Dana Posi front, Warn winch, dual batteries, power steering, power brakes, lifted about 4 inches, offset wheels, 32 inch tires, (will handle 33’s) Rear tire/can rack, Bikini Top and soft top with other extras included. THIS RIG RUNS GREAT!! $4,500.00 OBO”
This looks solid.
“This is a 1947 Willys CJ2A that looks and runs great. It has some minor rust around the windshield but has been a great summer run around car. People always stop and stare with envy. It has only been run in the summer since it only has a half rag top”
The seller claims this is WWII paint. You be the judge. That issue aside, it looks clean and solid.
“Original flathead 4 cyl. enigine, has been rebuilt, Has Hard to find rear PTO and engine mounted governor. Has new exhaust, shocks,new lights and lenses. Has New Army paint and flat clear coat and stencil painted numbers and stars. Seat foam has been replaced and new seat covers installed. Has been converted to 12 volt for charging and better starting but uses original gauges. This Willys starts and runs great, idles smooth and very quiet. Has clear SD title. Tires are ok, but mismatched and brakes pull a little.. 4WD works good and transfer case and transmission shift fine. May be able to deliver for a fee.”
It runs, drives and maybe even plows. I’m wondering if that is a DJ body given what appears to be a lack of a tailgate.

The front of this tilts down a bit too much, but otherwise this looks nice.

All bearings replaced, engine (flathead 4cylinder) completely rebuilt, completely rebuilt radiator rodded out, front and rear differentials rebuilt, transmission and transfer case rebuilt.

Here’s a good looking Jeep.

**SOLD to an ewillys reader**
“1947 Willys CJ2A. It needs work. I bought it about 3 years ago and just do not have the time or the money to restore it. It comes with a windshield but it is not original and it has a crack. It did work 2 and a half years ago but that was the last time I messed with it. It is not a military jeep. I have the title in my possession. $1000 or best offer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was for Trade
It’s hard to tell much from the pics, however it appears in decent condition. It’s a project.
