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: Still Available.
(11/23/2018) This appears to have a VEC body. The hubs are EasyLoks.

“1948 Willys Jeep. Has a Jeep V6. Not the buick V6 but the Jeep V6 (slightly different in better ways). No tranny or trans case. Has Clean AZ title in my name”
UPDATE: John noted this might be a VEC. I’d missed the column shift.
Needs paint at the very least.

“I want to sell my 1946 Jeep Willys. Have done everything to her except paint! Too manyh items done to it to list but I just now started it after over a year of sitting and she fired right up. The Can has been replaced, in black primer and many other things. I used it for many years at my land but I sold it this spring and it is just sitting now and I have no where to use it. I knew the prior owner and he owned it almost before I was born and I’m in my 60’s.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
Seems in pretty decent shape.
“Early CJ-2A body tub, with tool indents. Body is from the western part of the country and is in decent shape for 73 years old.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $3500.
This seems to be a mix of a GPW chassis and a VEC CJ-2A body.
“Bought this for my dad who doesn’t have time to restore. It does run. I bought new tires, new seats, has a hard top with it. It’s running pretty good.”
Has some floor patches.

“CJ2 body tub with Ax and Shovel indents like the WWII Willys MB or Ford GPW; AND it has the tailgate in the back like the CJ2A’s. It is in restore-able condition. All the body fabrications/sub-assemblies are readily available on line. Not the greatest shape; but rare enough that it is worth restoring over the standard CJ2A body. Will fit in a full size pickup.
This tub could always be fitted with the gadgets to carry the Ax and Shovel – all the gadgets, straps, and even ax and shovel are available on line. It probably wouldn’t be stock to do this but it would be cool!
Asking $550. Would consider trading for other early flat fender parts. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(11/06/2018) “Title In Hand, located In North Carolina. IM me for more information. Can Help Arrange Transport.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6500.
(11/19/2018) Could be worth a look.

“Up for sale I have a Willys CJ2A Jeep made in 1946.
It starts, runs, and drives.

Tires hold air.
The Jeep is definately a 1946, according to VIN number, the column shifter on the steering wheel, and having 3 of the agricultural rims.
Frame could use repair at rear left corner and body has rust, could use repair.”
Has been changed to a floor shift.
https://reno.craigslist.org/cto/d/willys-cj2a-1947/6757553000.html
“Willys CJ2A. Runs and ready to enjoy as is or start restoration project. Willing to trade for boat (Fishing or Ski/Wakeboard), travel trailer or UTV of equel value.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5200.
Thanks to Chris for sharing this one. Looks like a good price.
“restoration. The engine and transmission were rebuilt and the frame sand blasted and painted. Since I have owned it for the last 5 years I have also rebuilt the steering box and linkage along with various other fixes. The tires are only a few years old and have plenty of life left. The carburetor has been rebuilt as well.
While doing the drive train rebuild I brought this jeep back to a column shift which it was originally. I drive this jeep all the time and it has been tremendous fun. Only reason for selling is that I have another one and do not have room for two.”
