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 .
Has some floor rust, but may have some value if the engine spins.

“Fully rebuilt 1947 Jeep Cj2a. 134L flat head motor, starts and cranks up without flaw every time. Rebuilt transmission and four wheel drive. The entire body , inside and outside has been bed lined with legit Rhino lining. After market front bumper with winch mount spot and rear bumper with flag spot and tow hooks. After market more comfortable suspension seats with seat belts. Push button removable steering wheel to make getting in and out easier.
Fresh brakes and drums on all four tires. Brand new tires and rims from 2017 Jeep Rubicon. Custom made roll cage. Aftermarket full tank mounted in the bed to increase the fuel range. Legit title with registration. Would make a great jeep to ride around town on a sunny day or something that would be fun to take to the farm for the weekend. Price is negotiable, would also be interested in trading for 2000s model jeep.”
The body is in surprisingly good condition. Includes a rear PTO.

“1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep. original engine / transmission / rear PTO. Original paint and no rust repair no patches, all original sheet metal in great condition. a couple small rust spots behind front fenders but not worth fixing in my opinion. I have put 200 miles on this in the last week. Runs and drives excellent. lights works, engine is tuned up, brakes gone through all around and newer Bias ply tires. Clean and clear Indiana Title in my name. If your reading this its still available. can assist with shipping if needed. I will not respond to the “is this available” text.”
Looks solid. I don’t see any drain holes on the side of the body.

“1948 WILLYS Cj2a,NEW STARTER, NEW FUEL TANK, NEW MASTER CYLINDER. RUNS BUT NEEDS CARB WORK”
The CJ-5 is $1600, but I don’t see a price for the CJ-2A. Seller also has a CJ-3B body and a rough CJ-5 (brown). Seller would prefer to sell altogether.

“I have a 1946 Chassis and body that is a good start to complete a CJ2A. Motor turns over but I have never tried starting it. The body is original steel and was stored in a garage for 40 plus years. Color is a greenish yellow. It has a few panels which I would replace but is in very good condition, does NOT look like Swiss cheese. Chassis has complete drive train including axles, transmission, brakes and wheels. Tires are No Good. It was stored in Syracuse area for a number of years. It has a few gussets to front frame horns and rear V brace needs replacing. I looked for over 2 years to find these items and are the best I could find. Only reason I am selling is I have temporary storage but can’t keep there long term. I have an early flat fender parts vehicle that can be part of the deal.
I also have quite a few parts for various years and am willing to sell them as one lot. Don’t ask to buy individual parts etc. I have an offer to buy everything if I don’t sell as semi complete units.
I have a 1979 CJ5 also that needs extensive body work but frame and drive train are excellent. The 79 has NY title and it runs and drives with a temporary gas tank. I did not register it. The 79 has the 4.2 six cylinder motor. 1979 has good General AT2’s all around. 1979 is $1600 or best offer. I have a number of panels from Classic Industries for the 1979 that will go with it.
I prefer text messages and I don’t answer my phone till after 6:30 PM Mondays, Tues. and Wed. but I will look at your texts.”
Not sure how much value is here. It’s listed as a 1943.

Looks like a solid build. If it is a 1942, there’s probably not much 1942 left on it.

“Great condition unknown miles changed out speedo”
UPDATE: As Craig points out, the trio of data tags suggest this is a 1946.
(08/29/2019) Seller hopes to free up the engine and get it running.

“1948 Willy’s Jeep with custom made roof. Title in hand, last on the road in 76, Motor is currently locked up, working on freeing it up then will work on getting it running”
The body has a few dings, but otherwise appears solid.

“The real deal 1947 Willys CJ2A. The jeeps in really good shape given it’s age. For the most part it is stock. It was converted to 12 volt, but I have the 6 volt generator. It starts right up and runs great. Bestop top for it, isn’t in the pictures. Clean title. Collector plates. Tow bar. New shocks and brakes. Tires in great shape. Re-cored the radiator recently. It’s a fun ride. I always wanted one of these since I was a teenager. After playing with it for 10+ years, it’s time to pass it on to the next dreamer.”
