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 $6950.

Probably not much value here, but I’m sure it was fun in it’s day.
“For Sale: Willy’s Jeep, Built for mud run, does not run, 289 slant plug heads, nitrous bottle, Call Jordan at (660) 238 1173”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
For $1500 it runs and drives. Might be a reasonable deal.
“For Sale – 1946 Willy’s CJ-2A Jeep. I bought this Jeep years ago with the intention of doing a slight resto-mod on it. I came to realize over the past year that don’t have the money or time to do this correctly…. I’ve recently put on a Rancho 3 inch suspension lift, with a spring over. At the same time, I put on Spiderco ¾ wheel spacers on all four wheels Also recently replaced were the Solex carburetor and an restored the fuel pump back to the original style glass bowl type. The transmission on the jeep was re-built about 3 years ago (approx 3000 miles since rebuild) Runs and drives, there is an issue with the passenger side rear wheel cylinder leaking a little bit, but the replacement is only like $15 from www.Jeepdoc.com …. Asking $1500 for the Jeep, serious inquiries only please.”
UPDATE: Still Available
This would make a great restoration project.
“This has been my elderly fathers Jeep for many years. There is no rust, as any sign of rust was replaced with new metal. It has a 1960’s Buick V6 conversion. The motor has few miles since a complete overhaul. The jeep runs and drives great. It also has new tires with very few miles as well. The jeep was only driven around a small town on nice days, and always stored in winter months since his ownership. The price is $3,500 and is pretty firm. We are looking for a serious buyer, and not tire kickers who are looking to share old Jeep stories. Feel free to contact me at 608-575-4166 if you have serious interest…”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500. It’s been for sale since June. There are more pictures now and it looks pretty good.
“1948 Willys Jeep 4 x 4, CJ 2A Body, Exterior is white in color, Interior is black, original 4 cylinder engine, Mileage 61409, Gas gauge does not work, Jeep runs good and you can test drive it and drive it home if you purchase this. Jeep has off road tires and it also has another full set of what seems to be original Ford rims with tires, tires are not original but all hold air. Jeep comes with vehicle cover that was custom made to fit. Does not have a hard or soft top, Equiped with roll bar. Passenger side windshield is cracked.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** WAS $2850.
This jeep has its engine out and apart.
“1947 Willys Jeep CJ 2a, Army Green, Orig 4 cyl flat head. Very fun car. Ran good, but burned oil, so removed engine, hot tanked parts, ready to rebuild. Many new parts: $2850”
This might not be a bad price. I think it depends on exactly what the herculiner on the inside is covering.
“willys has all stock running gear including flat head 4 cylinder runs great, has newer best top line x sprayed inside the tub,it runs and drives cory 971-506-0484, no email please”
There’s a good deal of junk here, but the opening bid is only $195, so maybe there’s some value. I can see there’s the column shift parts at the very least.
“You are bidding on a 1946 JEEP WILLYS. 4 cylinder, 4 wheel drive low. Column shift, transmission & under gear is all there. Full radiator assembily w/shrowd. Floating hubs for front, starter. Overall condition is restorable. Willys OJ2A 32336. Jeep does not have title….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
I got a couple problems with this jeep. The seller claims the jeep has a “Frame Up Full Restoration”, however given the jeep has no engine or engine related parts, the use of the term full is pretty innaccurate. Clearly, there’s been no restoration from the frame downward, as the U bolts are rusted, the shocks are greasy, etc. Also, check out the roll cage; there isn’t even an attempt to place a plate underneath the fiberglass body to sandwich the body at the very least, let alone a proper attempt to tie the roll cage into the frame. A stock buick 225 engine is rated at about 150 – 160 hp, not 175hp. The paint job does look very nice and their appear to be a number of other new parts as well. The opening bid price is $3995.
“Up for highest offer is a 1947 Willys Jeep painted 1965 Ford Poppy Red. Original frame and Willys overland Drivetrain.Needs motor. Frame up full restoration. many aftermarket parts 5000.00 invested . Aftermarket HD fiberglass body and fenders . many parts to much to list. Comes with 1970 Jeepster Commando with Buick Dauntless running V6 engine. You will need to buy the V6 swap kit to link the Buick V6 to the T90 transmission….”
UPDATE: This was $85,000 for the whole collection. I have found some related craigslist ads. See them below.
I’ve found a couple references to the sale of this collection. Anyone know more? Based on the pic to the right, these don’t appear in great condition. My guess is that this is over priced.
Here is a link to another reference at Hemmings, where I found the pic to the right.
Here’s a link to Hemmings that reads “WILLYS: elderly WW II veteran has vintage Jeep collection, 40s-60s, both military and civilian, must sell, best offer.”
======================
CRAIGSLIST ADS RELATED TO ABOVE:
1946 CJ-2A $4995
This one looks perfectly find. The price doesn’t seem that outrageous.
“1946 Willys C-J2A spruce green all original condition, partially restored with new canvas removable top – runs and drives – $4,995”
1948 CJ-2A $11,500
This one doesn’t look like it is in great condition. There’s no reason to think it is worth $11,500.
“1948 Willys C-J2A signal red fully restored and in great condition – $11,500– Firm”
