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: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Sounds like it needs work.
“Bought this with plans for full restoration, but just don’t have time to finish it. Body metal and frame are in very good shape. Also have metal side panels and roof in fair condition and three original rims. Was running great when I stored it. Full restoration would be one way to go or just take her out to camp and use it on the trails. Lots of info on these on the net.”
UPDATE: Was $2700 **SOLD**
(07/29/2015) It needs work of some kind.
“Project Jeep, kind of losing interest in it a bit because I’d rather have more of a hot rod classic car or truck. Would prefer to trade, interested in any offers but mostly looking at Chevy/GM cars or trucks, rat rod, classic station wagons, lowered, lifted, you name it. No Hondas or tuners or anything like that. Would also be very interested in a K5 Blazer. Prefer to trade straight across.
The Jeep has solid bones to start as a restoration or wheeling project. Already lifted on Rancho springs. Has a fuel cell mounted in the back, Buick 225 oddfire engine runs, needs a head gasket and carb, was told it’s a Muncie transmission, 4 speed, transfer case with Hi and Low. Replaced starter, new plugs, plug wires, cap, rotor, brand new PerTronix electronic ignition. Offenhauser intake manifold. I’ll be steadily working on this thing still so it will just be getting better and better. Clean title as well.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
Doesn’t run.
“Does not run. Used to but needs rewired. The motor was changed out to the buick v6. Axles were swapped out for bigger not exactly sure on the size. It has the dual stick transfer case.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $850.
(05/30/2015) Might be some value here.
“Have owned for the last 20 years but it hasn’t been run much in the last 5…”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
Needs some work.
“First off, It needs work, It will run but carburetor needs to be gone through, New fuel tank, Body is in good shape, interior isn’t too bad, Sat in a Garage since purchased in 1993, It has a Chevy Nova 153l 4 cylinder engine, that would make a great around town rig or occasional offroad use, maybe that jeep you need to get to the cabin. Although the Transmission and Transfer case were rebuilt around 2000, They leak a little, and they always do. If you wanted to go back to everything stock, this may not be for you. If you want something to putt around on this is for you with some TLC. Id keep this but the current living situation isn’t working out to keep this. There is a lot of great parts If you need extra parts for you willys. Soft-top leather is in good shape but the windows have collected a bunch of dust and need to be replaced. (Kayline in Denver Can fix them).”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $3500.
Top is in poor condition, but this appears worth a look.
“Original drive train, Good tub, Runs, Drives, Brakes work, Nice project, Manual Transmission, Civilian jeep, Switched to 12 volt, New brakes”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000
“For sale by owner is a 1948 Willys CJ-2A in Harvest Tan with Sunset Red wheels. Meticulously restored three years ago back to as close to factory specs as possible. My fun with this beauty is over and it has been sitting covered in my warehouse for several years. Except for the occasional car show or parade I don’t get it out much. The original L-head 134 cubic inch engine has plenty of power. Original 3-speed Warner T-90 transmission was rebuilt and rock-solid Dana 18 transfer case is flawless. No internal engine work was performed as each cylinder had compression between 105-109 psi. Carter carburetor overhauled by a professional using an authentic kit and parts.
The engine has been swapped over to 12VDC but still uses a generator. Factory oil-bath air cleaner, engine oil filter/canister. Includes the optional factory Jeep grill/radiator brush guard. The driver’s side vacuum driven windshield wiper motor works as it should. New wiper arms, frames and blades. All lighting is as it was from the factory including the hard-to-find glass front marker lights. The radiator was removed, cleaned, tested and reinstalled. A complete new wiring harness was purchased from Walck’s 4WD and installed. The harness wiring is loomed to factory colors. The only non-factory item installed in engine bay is a Harbor Freight oooga horn I wanted. However, it is mounted using the original horn mounting bracket in the original horn mounting holes in the fender.
Looks like the driver’s side has been patched.
“The Jeep is in very good shape. It is in original condition with a few additions. It has Dualmatic Locking Hubs, a 12v system, leather seats, and a stereo that I haven’t been able to get it to work. Since the photos were taken, I’ve switched the tires and wheels from the wide rims to normal rims and tires, I’ve added seat belts, front and back, and I’ve added a back seat. I just had the entire brake system rebuilt. It runs good, starts great, and like all old jeeps, it jumps out of second gear if you let of the gas. It does leave a spot of oil in the driveway, but other than that it is in great shape. The $4,000 price is firm.”

Could be a good buy, but bring a 6 volt batter with you to test the engine.
“This is one of several vehicles I am getting rid of. Too old and too tired to tackle all the projects I have and the better half is adamant I thin the herd. 1948 model CJ2A with a soft top. It’s all there and it runs fine. It is still 6v but needs a battery (I have the one that was in it when I parked it but it has gone dead since). Some idiot welded a small diameter 70’s steering wheel to the steering shaft, but I have an original wheel and shaft to replace it.
