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: Price dropped to $1200.

(05/12/2015) This appears to have a DJ body, but the serial number is marked as 263130, which is quite a bit larger than the latest CJ-2A serial number (224764) listed on the CJ-2A site.

“1949 is the year of the fewest CJ2A flat fender jeeps. This Willys Jeeps appears to be the first of the DJ (Dispatch Jeep) ever made…it has a rear fuel tank instead of under the seat…it also has easy entry/exit side panel…my guess is the dispatches were stored under the seat & the side panels were removed because couriers would have to get in & out a lot…I put bucket high back seats because comfort was important because I use this old girl every day it doesn’t rain…
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5800.

(06/03/2015) Nice looking jeep, but I’m surprised the dash plate wasn’t more creatively installed.

“1946 Jeep Willy’s project. Motor(L-134), trans(T-90) and transfer case(dana spicer 18) is good. Currently putting all new seals and bearings in transmission and transfer case. Was running when I started taking it apart for a restoration. Drivetrain/ Engine is stripped of rust/dirt and painted. I have old body that could be reused but is in rough shape. Frame is in good shape, needs cleaned up. I do not have a title, can give bill of sale. Would Be Willing to trade for a Jon boat, 50-100 hp outboard engine, or make cash offer. I have alot of time and money into this, I know I’ll never get that out of it but I’m not giving it away. Please make reasonable offer. Dont need to sell, just have other projects i would rather put the money into. Great father and son project, easy to work on and best of all… Most of the hard work is done!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600.
(04/13/2015) Motor is out, but if the rust is as light as claimed it might warrant a closer look.
“1947 willys jeep, motor our an tore down for rebuild, paint good 95% great on rust!, $2400 obo or trade paragould ark,”
Has had some repairs. Can’t tell much from the pic.
“This Jeep was found 3 miles from my house and I’m the 3rd local owner. It is pretty much a survivor with not much having been modified over the years. (The original wood reinforced rails are still there in many places.) I got it running in 2005 and did a pretty extensive restoration. Metal work was repaired where needed and the transmission and transfer case were rebuilt. New brakes, lines, shocks, leaf springs, seals, fluids, etc. (Everything underneath was new as of then.) I had to find the seat pans, rear seat, and a much nicer windshield.
In 2013 the motor (flat head 4 cyl) was professionally rebuilt by Mac Weld in Carbondale. It should outlast the body. The radiator was re-cored also at this time. About 2 months ago, the original gas tank finally rusted through and was replaced with a new one along with new lines and I just installed a new carburetor.
This Jeep is as mechanically sound as you can get! I have some parts I can include. I also have a set of 16″ rims and a roll bar if interested.
Yes, I have a clean title.
No, not interested in trades.
Yes, I’ll take you for a ride.
No, not much else I can tell you about it but happy to discuss details if you are seriously interested.
Yes, it is a CJ2A not an MB.
Calls returned after 6 p.m.”
It doesn’t appear to have a windshield.
“1947 Willys cj2a ,4 x4, original 4 cylinder flathead, runs great, military tires are like new, this is a hard one to find in this condition,must sell to repair my equipment $5,200 obo”
