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: **Status Unknown** Was $3500.
Top is in poor condition, but this appears worth a look.

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.
UPDATE:Price dropped to $2250.
“For sale is a very complete and very restoreable 48 cj2a. I bought this as a project to hopefully do with some local youngsters as their first project, but it seems that interests have changed and they are not interested in it any more . . . This jeep is a fantastic restoration candidate because of how complete it is. Original engine and running gear, and many of the parts that are usually gone are still here. Engine does not run. PO removed the head and reported a stuck valve . . . so I would count on doing some engine work . . . it does turn over freely, so I would guess just minor work needed. Transmission and transfer case shift fine. It was “barn kept” for many many years and, although there is rust thru in the usual spots, it is much, much better then most I have seen and at a much better starting point then the one I restored . . . . if you are looking for an early jeep project, then this is definitely one to look at . . . . I am not interested in low ballers or scams, I know that I can easily net my asking price by parting it out, and am perfectly willing and able to do that . . . but if someone whats to take it all at once to fix it up, then that’s my preference!!”

(01/06/2012) This does not run.
“46 willys jeep. original motor does not run, but I have a running MUTT motor I was going to put in it for a deer lease vehicle. Also have some odd and ends parts to go with it. The original flat head four banger goes with it to. The windshield is off of a cj3a. The 46 is a cj2a..”
