About eWillys
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.
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 .
A reader wondered why the price was so high. I wonder that too.
“Original Owner, 1948 Willys Jeep, CJ2A. This is an original owner vehicle that has been in the family since new, for 63 years. It has the original tires, top, and all other equipment as it did when it was picked up at the Jeep/Mack dealer in 1948. This vehicle has been kept in near pristine condition with no rust or dents. Still titled in the original owners name. The like new original owners manual is also included in the sale. This vehicle has been driven between 250-300 miles per year its whole life. It has about 150 miles on it so far this year. This is a once in a lifetime barn-find American icon that even has the only option available in 1948 which is all of the chrome beauty rings on the wheels and the spare.”

“A full and complete body off frame was performed several years ago with a “cost no object” budget and completed the same way a high caliber major concours classic would have been done.”
(08/16/2011) Not a perfect restoration, but looks fun just the same.
“If you are in the market for a four wheeler but would like to be able to enjoy the ride with more than 2 people, this Jeep is for you!
It’s small enough to fit down most trails but big enough for family and friends to all enjoy!
This Willy’s runs great, along with having new shocks, alternator and has been well taken care of. I have owned it for the past 3 years, but it has been stored indoors for at least the past 10 years…since its restoration.
If interested please call 612-321-6206 and ask for Matt, thanks!”
“This is a very clean, well restored, and well running CJ2A. You don’t see them like this very often. I hope I look this good when I’m 64 years old! Complete body off restore done in 2001 and garaged full-time since then. Driven occasionally in parades or short trips around town since then. I tried to keep everything original. It’s been in the family since before I can remember but it’s time to pass it along to someone else who will baby it.
Original flat head engine. Engine has been started regularly and runs great. Starts on the first crank every time. Doesn’t burn oil or leak. Belts and hoses are good. New radiator keeps engine nice and cool. Engine compartment is clean, no rust or corrosion, and everything is easy to reach. Manual choke. Foot starter. Starting the jeep by hand is very fun with the hand crank starter (included). Manual 3 speed transmission plus reverse. Odometer reads 1335 miles but I have no idea if that is accurate.
Jeep has been converted from 6V to 12V. New battery, new 12V generator, new wiring harness (every wire in the vehicle is new), lights and gauges are all new or originals that work fine, driver’s side heater with electric fan and on\off switch, high \ low bean foot switch, dash panel light. New headlights and brake light.
Body is in good shape. This is the original tub which was removed and new steel welded in to repair all existing damage. Front and rear floor boards are completely solid with no rust (unusual in jeeps this old). Tool box is clean and dry. New gas tank. Side mounted spare. Frame and underside was sandblasted down to metal, all damage was repaired and repainted. Shocks and springs are good. Drive train is solid. Brakes work well. Rubber floor mats fit floor boards well. Good solid roll bar. Jerry can mounted on rear.
Most rubber is new and in good shape. Window tie-down belt secures the fold-down window in place when its down. Wood blocks on the hood support window when its down. Pneumatic windshield wiper motor (missing the blade) works using engine vacuum. New heavy canvas from Beachwood Canvas Works with no tears anywhere. Seatbelts added front and back to make it legal.”

“1948 Jeep Willy CJ2A — odometer reads 60383 miles — New Exhaust Pipe, Muffler, Tail Pipe, Carburetor, Master Cylinder, Fuel Pump, Wheel Cylinders and Brake Pads, Rewired. Hard to start at times, but runs good when started frequently. Driven on road in 2010. Garage kept since I have owned. ”
“1946 is the first year Willys manufactured the civilian jeep. Over 65 years young. Why not own a piece of history? Classic cars grow in value every year. This jeep was used as a gentleman’s grove jeep for many years.
Areas in the floor boards can use some welding repair, overall good condition. Jeep is titled and insured for street use. Runs great. Transfer, gear box, hubs operate perfectly. Spare tire / same as the 4 on the jeep. Spare parts include steering worm and pinion, new oil filter, rear shocks, new in box. Seats covered in green leather and seat belts added. New brakes, including all cylinders and hoses. Serviced September, 2010 ($1,600.00), bill available for inspection. Used little since. Garaged. Needs speedo cable. Amp wires reversed shows neg (-) instead of pos. (+)”
UPDATE: Steve notes this is a scam and this sold a few months ago. He also notes that LSD-30 was a Navy ship and the LSD stands for Landing Ship, Dock.
The price is a bit high. I think the description explains a lot.
“4 x 4 flathead 6, brand new fuel pump, new brake lines and gas line. Has snowplow; plowed snow on farm last winter. Has good tires with extra wheels and tire chains; also extra radiator. Previous owner used on farm and was kept in barn; body solid and runs smooth. Speedometer shows 32,000 miles. Previous owner has passed away; wife said motor was rebuilt.
