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 $4950.
(04/24/2014) Looks like this is a VEC body. Has an f-head.
“For being 68 yrs old, this is a very nice vehicle. It has matching frame and body serial numbers and numerous newer parts including:
– “F” Head 90 hp motor
– rebuilt transmission
– 12 volt conversion with remanufactured generator
– carburetor
– solenoid, coil, starter & battery
It certainly isn’t perfect, but it’s hard to expect more for the age and the price.”
Doesn’t drive, but engine starts.
“1948-49 CJ 2A Jeep for parts or restore. Not running. Engine will start but runs rough. Rear end pinion gear locked up. Lots of good parts or restorable. Frame in good condition. Plenty of rust on floorboards. $1350 or best offer.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
Seller listed this as a 1943, but looks like a 1946 to me. The front frame rails and bumper look good. A PTO winch is in the rear. It’s pretty complete, but still a project.
“Found in barn all original only thing missing is engine fan has been through a lot needs someone willing to do a little to make it like it used to be call or text if interested I will deliver for price asked”
Has rear PTO.
“1946 Willy’s jeep.
Mostly complete (bad/ugly motor)
No seats, No front window(or frame)
Some gauges Missing
Body has rust.
Chassis is good with warn twin stick overdrive and rear PTO winch.
This jeep has awesome potential for resto, hot rod, or to part out.
Has a clean title!!”

Glenn forwarded this one. No pics provided.
“1946 Jeep CJ2A rolling chassis. Everything but one rear spring. Includes motor, trans and transfer case, front fenders, steering wheel, and clutch, and brake pedals. Nice solid frame, no rust.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(03/20/2015) One jeep runs.
“I have two Willys Jeep CJ2A a 1947 and a 1948. The 48 is titled, but completely disassembled for restoration. I have a lot of spare parts, including a complete spare motor. I also have a 47 that runs drives and stops. It does not have a title. The tub on the 47 is rusty with patches. I bought a restored CJ2A and lost interest in this restoration. I am willing to discuss prices on parting out or making a package deal. Respond with name and phone number if interested.”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $3000
(05/07/2014) No pics provided. The title might say ’49, but always check the serial number and other details.
“Google it! Extremely Rare! It’s the Loch Ness of the Jeep Forums! Heard about, but rarely seen! This IS the real thing! 1949 Willys Overland CJ2A Jeep! Only 2182 of these were produced. Original motor and transmission! Will crank! Body in excellent shape! Great project for restoration/history buff!”
Looks solid. Probably a good jeeping jeep.

Electric fan.
Tilt wheel

Runs.
“FOR SALE 1948 cj2a. CLEAR TITLE IN HAND. Pretty solid appears to have had some metal work done over the years. A worthy project for someone. 4cyl flathead runs but needs work due to an intake valve sticking open. Frame etc is good and solid. Rust seen on floorboards is only surface rust, they’re rock solid yet.
New: plugs and wires, points and condensor, converted to 12v. Plenty of pics below should show you everything you need to see. Engine appears as new, id say someone must have gone through it before it sat, but can’t say for sure. $2000 firm. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4975. It was a reader’s jeep. It is titled as a 1945 MB, but he felt it was more like a ’47 CJ-2A. He and his wife enjoyed owning and driving it.
