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 .
Runs.
“1948 cj2 runs great , body is rough but solid . Would make a good restoration project or hunting rig.”

Both these jeeps have an unusual hardtop. At least one of these is a 2A.

Looks like there may be value.
“All original as far as I can tell drive train wise. Turns over but carb needs rebuilt. Body is in great shape for the age. Barely any rust. I have a clear title for it. Could run with a little work. Will also come with a harstop and hard doors. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
Looks like it might have a fire jeep front bumper (looks like it curves and is extra long).
“1947 Willys CJ2A Jeep 4X4, runs and starts great, new brakes, new seat covers (not shown in photos) tires fair to good, they will last another 10,000 miles easily. Has a Buick V6 engine so it has lots of balls, some light surface rust, NO CANCER!!! It needs some prettying up but goes, stops, does great off road. CASH ONLY and NO, I will not accept a B.S. cashiers check from China or Indonesia or wherever and then have your driver pick it up! Sorry, I was not born yesterday”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(08/22/2015) It’s an MB with a 2A body.
“This Willys is a true survivor. The id number is a MB number, but is considered a 1947 by the DMV. The tub is a MB. The jeep was modified for a film to look like a M38. The driver side has been smoothed over with bondo at some point, but the ribs for the tools can be seen on the inside.
The window is post war as well as the M38 grille. The jeep will need to be seen.
It needs tlc for sure but is a driver.
I have the window rubber, just no glass.
The engine is what I can best figure is a 1953 F-Head Hurricane engine. It has the generator, but is wound to a 12v system.
It has Model A tail lights.
The tires are new as of July 22nd. I also had Willys hand painted on the rear tailgate, as well as a personal tribute to a fallen family member, as well as a WWII Kilroy was here.
I am fixing it up as I keep driving it. If it doesn’t sell for my price, I will be fixing it up and keeping it. ”

It runs, but it may need a little work. Seller hasn’t driven it very far.

“This 1948 Willys was a fun summer project that I no longer have time for. It has the more powerful Willys Hurricane engine or F134.
When I purchased the Willys it was not running or driving, so I went through it. Fluids changed: brake lines flushed, gas tank was dumped and fresh gas put in, coolant, engine oil (2 engine oil changes actually), transfer oil, transmission oil, front differential, rear was only topped off.
Electrical was cleaned up, replaced a lot of wires including battery/starter wires (the old ones tried to catch fire!) head light switch installed. I did not get around to the turn signal switch. The speedometer and cable and cable housing were replaced as the ones on the cj were broken, but I kept the original speedometer since it had the mileage on it and I figured some one more competent than me might like to try and fix it.

Seth checked out this 2A-sort-of-turned-into-a-3B. He understandably decided to pass on purchasing it, but thought these photos were worth sharing.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
(07/17/2015) Looks good.
“For sale is the nicest 1947 willys jeep around!! know money was spared on this build that took place in california. im going to list the majors on this vehicle and then post pics.
