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 .
Craig shared this rebuilt CJ-2A. One pic shows the rear seat in backwards, but maybe it’s just sitting in it and not installed? The top setup is unusual.
“Jeep has had a complete off frame restoration and is in excellent condition.Complete engine overhaul by NAPA. Transfer case and transmission rebuilt.New tub,wiring,tires ect. Jeep has a clear title.To many new parts to list.Call for more info.Runs great!”
“I have a Willys cj2a that needs finished. I have almost all new parts for it. I just don’t have time to finish it. Brand new tires and rims, water pump, fuel pump, master cylinder, all new guages. Floor has been replaced and welded. The only thing I think it needs is seats. I don’t have the title, but I checked the vin number it will be no problem to get a title.”
“have: replaced the wheels with correct reproduction units; all new Coker reproduction tires and tubes; replaced all the gauges–fuel, speedo, voltage, oil pressure, temp (mileage is unknown, I have put about 500 miles on the odometer since replacement of original speedometer); all body work done correctly and new paint (sand/olive color, purchased from Quarter Ton and Military in Chickamauga, Georgia); new exhaust/muffler; new transmission main bearings; new solex carburetor; new clutch and throw-out bearing; new fuel sender in gas tank; new bikini top; new electric windshield wiper (driver’s side); new side and rearview mirrors; all new coachmen loops; all new brakes shoes and slave cylinders; rebuilt original horn ($600 dollars if you can find one!); new hood latches and hinge; rebuilt steering box and new steering links/tie rods and ends; new dash placards; new shifter boots; hemp tow rope (on front bumper); new choke cable; etc (sure I’m forgetting some things)!
Everything works as it should (lights, blinker,etc). A blast to drive, lots of comments–especially from envious Wrangler drivers!”
“1948 Jeep CJ2A
This is a one of a kind WWII jeep! It’s most likely the only one like it in this area as most of them aren’t fully enclosed. If you want something that’s impossible to drive without smiling, this is for you. I believe its original purpose was for communications equipment during WWII based on a little research I’ve done.
Everything works like new! Ok, that’s a lie, but it does drive down the road. It has working 4 wheel drive and hi/low range that functions correctly. The tires are brand new and have great grip in the mud and woods. It’s almost comical how well it rolls over logs and anything you put in front of it including small trees.
Seller claims this is on a VW frame, but if that’s the case, it is hidden well.
“This is a 1948 Willys jeep on a vw frame. Cruises hwy speeds very easy. Engine in rear and great suspension over the original jeep Chasis and all are completely rust free. Extremely rare and hard to find however parts are reasonably priced and easily available. 8000 or best offe”
The 2A looks like a good candidate for a rebuild. The 3A is a parts jeep.
“I have a 1947 Willys Jeep. It is painted yellow although my plan was to repaint in Army green. Body in very good condition as is frame – no rust. Does not run, but ready to be rebuilt. I have about $1,200 of boxed parts including a new wiring harness and new radiator. Additionally I have an extra set of tires and rims and a second jeep, 1953, of the same model to use for parts.”
