About eWillys
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.
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 .

“Great project Jeep for someone. CLEAN TITLE Starts right up, runs and drives. Will need some work to be road worthy. Needs some wiring (chassis wiring) Needs brake work. (Master cylinder) One tire leaks down after a few days, will need new tube. Had some oil leaks that should be fixed before it is driven much. Currently has no seats but I’m working on getting some mounted. Motor is a Studebaker Flathead I6 170 from a early 50’s champion or similar The rest of the drivetrain is all original Willy’s. Chassis is rust free but the body has some rust. Will be a fun project for someone. Won’t take much to get it on the road.”
It’s a column shift with indents (top indent at least) so likely a VEC CJ-2A. Body is rough, though has been patched in places. You don’t often see just one part time hub. I’d check to make sure the left front axle and/or front R&P doesn’t have some issue.
“I was told by the heirs that this was a 1948 Willys Jeep, I do not have a title, so I am unsure , there is a long number on the engine, that could lend a clue. This is a 3 speed standard trans, on the column, with two shift levers on the floor, it rolls easy, and the linkage is all free to the trans and transfer case. The odometer reads 38k miles, what you see is what I have, there are no extra parts, engine is complete, radiator and all parts in engine compartment intact.
Serious only, I’m sure the parts are hard to find for this vintage , possibly a 1947 Willys Jeep, Convertible,
the frame is good, rears are complete, and has locking hub on the front left wheel , under the paint is was a medium green when new.”
The body might be MB, given the gas tank. No full floaters in the back. Probably a mix of parts.
“Got it on trade don’t know much about it but it ain’t locked up willing to sell or trade for other vehicles it is a good project for someone who has the time trade for truck or just let me know what you got”
1. CJ-2A $1000: I have a Willys Jeep, flat hood, flat 4 cylinder, mostly complete. NO title but can give bill of sale. $1,000 cash or May trade for something.
2.1960 CJ-3B $1500: “I have a 1960 Willys Jeep. Tall hood which means the inline 4 cylinder. Complete I believe but rough. Clear KY title. Please no calls or texts after 11pm. May trade for something but prefer cash or cash and bang.”
Has a variety of updates, but still very much a project.
“This is a project Jeep. 327chevy, sm420 transmission, custom frame complete body. Lots of parts included too much to list. Just don’t have time to finish.”
“eep runs and drives and is great for running to the store or driving in a parade. It has new brakes and starts every time. The jeep has working blinkers, seat belts, brake lights, headlights, and a horn. It is street legal and has a clean Kansas title.
Solid body without any active rust areas to speak off. 4×4 works. Gauges work. Tires hold air. Black vinyl seats are very comfortable with springs.
The transmission DOES grind when shifting from third to second about half the time. Sometimes it doesn’t and others times it does. The jeep still drives fine. Forums say the synchronizers need replaced, but not sure.
It does have oil leaks that I heard are normal on these jeeps.
Fun jeep at a reasonable price to still do repairs if you choose, or just drive it as is. Get ready for Spring parades!”
“For sale one Willy’s CJ-2A and most of a second for parts with rear PTO and one never run rebuilt engine and a second engine of unknown condition lots of additional parts not picture $1500 or best reasonable offer”
“I HAVE A 1946 WILLYS CJ2A PROJECT OR PARTS RIG. IT HAS A BUICK V-6, T-90 TRANSMISSION AND DANA 18 TRANSFER CASE. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL TITLE IN HAND. THIS JEEP IS IN ROUGH CONDITION BUT LOOKS COOL. WE USED IT AS A BACKGROUND FOR SOME FAMILY PHOTOS. WHAT YOU SEE IS WHATS THERE. $500.00 WITH TITLE WILL HELP LOAD ON TRAILER.”
