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: Still Available
(06/04/2009) This looks like it might be a pretty nice jeep and has some great upgrades.
“For Sale – 1947 Willy’s CJ-2A Jeep. It has a 327 Chevy engine with a 350 automatic transmission. It has been stored indoors, runs great. It comes with over $2,000 worth of extras.”
https://siouxfalls.craigslist.org/cto/6012527554.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.
There’s some value, but hard to tell how much.
“I have 3 CJ2A Willys jeeps for sale. They are in varying states of condition. None run, all have engines and trannys. 2 have original engines and 1 has a ford engine. I have many parts for these even some steel patch panels for the floors. Projects that never finished and cant now. They all roll although there are a few flat tires. If I parted these out I could get more than what I am asking for them.
They are located on my ranch west of Trinidad Colo.
I do not have titles for any of these.
Asking $2200 for all three and would like to not separate.”
The back half the jeep body has been removed, despite what some of the pics on Craigslist show.

1948 CJ-2A:
It’s a project.
https://wichita.craigslist.org/cto/6001242144.html
“Hello, I have four jeeps sitting in the garage to be finished, and one of the dusty projects has to go. This is a 1947 Willys Jeep that is NOT currently running but will not take much to get it there. Clean and clear Kansas title with a matching ID plate.
Issues:
-The jeep has run and driven recently with the previous owner, but it currently is not getting spark. The engine does turn with the starter/key and cranks and cranks and cranks, just no spark. So it is either the coil or the distributor rotor/points. From what I am seeing it looks like it needs a new distributor rebuild kit (points, cap, rotor) which is about $50. If it’s a coil that is about $35. But that’s just an educated guess
-It does not have active rust, but has had rust issues in the typical locations, but nothing that can’t be fixed. The floor under the tool box is gone (I usually weld or rivet some flat steel in), the front floors have been patched, and the bed has some holes that can be welded shut. Or just drive it the way it is, it is structurally very sound. Frame is strong. Continue reading
