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 $1000.
Not sure there is much value here.
“Frame was redone as well as motor but motor is locked. Lots of parts with it. Call for info”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
(11/05/2015) Runs and drives.
“Selling my ’46 Willys CJ2A. Runs and drives, has no brakes….at all. Carb was just rebuilt with a master rebuild kit so not just the gaskets and float but the jets and nozzles too. Will need a new tub more than likely and about a foot or so worth of frame reinforcement on the right rear side. Not in a rush to sell but would rather have my girlfriend’s car in the garage over the winter and not dump every red cent of mine into this thing at the moment. Has original seat frames and is all numbers matching.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
(11/07/2015) “Up for sale is a ’48 Jeep Willys. It’s in fair condition, could definitely use a little TLC. Originally bought as a resto project for myself but I no longer have the time Lethe funds. My loss is your gain.
$1500 Or Best Offer. Im open to entertaining offers, no reasonable offer will be turned down.”
Marty checked out this jeep yesterday. He was most curious about the hardtop and got a bunch of photos of it for us. He believes the hardtop was a custom creation, but well done. The curves and drain edge are a nice touch, too. As for the CJ-2A, there’s not much left. The seller believes there is plenty of value, but Marty smartly disagreed.

“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A. This is an all original Willys Flat Fender Jeep. It has an original flat head four cylinder engine. It is a great little Jeep that has been fun to drive. It has the original gearing in the axles, so it tops out at 45-50 mph, but it does great on the trails. It has a clear AZ title. I can have more pictures on request. I’m asking $2500.00 OBO. I can deliver it for mileage compensation.
It’s too old for a car history report, so don’t ask for one. It’s a 67 year old piece of history. It doesn’t have a top, and no heater. For an additional $1000 I’ll throw in a second mostly complete flat fender for parts. I have titles for both.”

“For Sale. 1948 Willys Jeep CJ-2a. Project, was professionally restored in the early 80’s but needs some attention. Ran and drove well when it was parked 2 years ago.

“looking to sell a ’48 willys cj2a flat fender has a clean title and collector plates. not running, but can run with minor work such as installing a battery, checking all connections both fuel and electrical(not many electrical seeing how there are no computers) and replacing all fluids. can drive with some time and work. it has a bumper mounted tow bar for easy towing. it has a ford 302 small block v8, and sits on 31 inch wildcat ext tires on dana 44 rear and 28A front and a dana spicer model 18 transfer case. I also have a holly carb that was never used in box. i also have an overdrive for it in a box although its not put together. the entire floor is lined with boat carpet. there is minor rust but it has never seen the beach or salt water so its less than most old cars you see up here. the front seats require new hold down hardware and the bikini top could be more secure.”
