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 .
I don’t know what these are worth, but you don’t see these everyday.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $3000
With the driver side indents and the lack of tailgate, this certainly looks like an MB/GPW to me. Note the phone number is missing a digit.
“nice jeep …runs ok…have done some basic work on it…used it for deer season last year and now we are moving….got to much stuff has original straight 4 cylinder ….has 4 new bi-directional military tires,new battery,new plugs, cap,rotor and points new coil and 12 volt head lights….12 volt conversion with altenator… call 559-816-960.”
This CJ-2A has a fiberglass body. The roll bar is attached to the back wheel wells. I’m pretty sure that’s not a good idea.

UPDATE: Was $400. **SOLD**
Here’s a parts jeep. With the Dana 30 front and AMC 20 rear. The paint job is unusual. The back of this body appears solid (no tailgate). I’m wondering if that’s a DJ body.
“1947 Flat Fender Willy’s Jeep CJ 2A with roll cage. No transmission/transfercase. Mounts for small-block Ford (289 / 302). Original axles plus Dana 30 front and AMC 20 rear. Need the space more than I need the Jeep. $400 / obo.”
Here’s a very usual jeep.
“No title, strickly trail rig, Motor trans and transfer case all work good. dana 44 front and dana60 in rear with 488 gears. four link rear 3link front. Full hydraulic steering no sterring box.5 point harness x2 in front. winch mount, 700r4 trans, lockouts, axles are welded, needs brake booster or master cylinder. I will need a $500.00 deposit within 24 hours of end of auction.”
I ran across some extensively photographed and discussed body and framework (boxing in the frame) on the CJ-2A page forums. There are plenty of pics and four or more videos. There’s also some interesting discussions about dealing with hat channels: to fill or not to fill, that is the question (page 3 of the forum). So, if you are doing some body work on a CJ-2A, you’ll find this interesting.
The pic on the right show’s Mike’s first attempt at welding thin body metal. After some additional grinding and filler it looks like it will turn out great.
View the all information at the ‘started body work’ topic on the CJ-2A Page forum
UPDATE: New pics on the new ad
Clearly there’s been some mods to this vehicle. For example, the axles do not appear stock, it’s got a tilt column and, of course, a 400 small block.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500
Well, it looks good and things look straight, but I suspect the price will slip. It’s not quite military and not quite civilian, but probably a fun little run around rig.
“1948 Willys Jeep Kaiser CJ2A. The frame and replacement body were sandblasted and epoxy primed. The 4 cyl 134 ci engine was professionally rebuilt, and runs good. New items in the last three years include: shocks, leaf springs, 16″ military tires, gauges, poly gas tank, radiator, starter, brake lines, wheel cylinders, master cyl, exhaust system, wiring harness, carb rebuilt, O.D. Green paint, etc, etc. The tires only have about 20 miles on them. This was a civilian or farm jeep that was made to look like the military version. With some numbers, stars, and other finishing touches this coulf be a very nice parade jeep”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,500.
