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.
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: Price dropped to $6000.
(07/17/2019) Unclear why seller doesn’t think it does well around town.

“Very good jeep for the hills. Not something you want to drive around town.
Fresh paint
8274 warn winch with fresh motor
Rebuilt Buick engine
Locker in the rear
Posi up front

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
Sure seems like there could be value here if the body is as solid as it appears.
“Needs a starter, engine and transmission rebuild will be needed”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5600.
This might be a CJ-3A rather than a CJ-2A.
“1946 Willys. New seats , new tires , new brakes, new carburetor”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
Could be a 2A Chassis with M-38 body parts.
“Military M38 Jeep Originally ground up restoration Documentation available regarding what was done”
Listed as a 1947, it appears to have a VEC CJ-2A body.

Looks solid.

“Mostly original 1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A. This jeep has been in my family for over 50 years. Most of those years were spent on our family farm in Southwest Nebraska. Comes with 2 (like new) Bestop Soft Tops, all 5 of the original wheels (not pictured) and the original owners manual. Has original 6 volt system. Runs well and would be an ideal project jeep for someone that has the time to put into it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
The passenger step has been reworked.
“1948 Willy’s JEEP CJ2A just in time for hunting season, this jeep is in good condition with many new parts including:
new carburetor
new fuel tank
new sending unit
new gauges
new tires
new water pump
rebuilt radiator
new hoses
updated wiring harness
The new carb and tank are installed and just need to be plumbed up, a few odds and ends need addressing with most all parts needed are included with the sale. The JEEP will be conveyed with a bill of sale, however the VIN plate is still present (rare for old JEEPS) so you can apply for a bonded title which cost $350 and some paperwork. The JEEP is priced right and with a little work could easily be worth twice as much.”
Has full floaters and an early head, but I don’t see other aspects of a VEC here. It may be an early 2A with a newer body.
https://nashville.craigslist.org/pts/d/dickson-1946-willys-overland-cj-2a/7000252838.html
“Price is for complete vehicle. No title being sold for parts only.”

“1947 Willy’s Jeep, 4 Wheel drive, Rebuilt 4Cyl Flathead, 3 Speed T90, $5600 or best offer.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1400.
(10/08/2019) Look like a later 2A grille. Seller notes that it includes an L-head, but it appears from the pic that it is actually an F-head (that does look to have been rebuilt).
https://spokane.craigslist.org/pts/d/oldtown-1946-jeep-cj2a-parts/7002417791.html
“1946 Jeep Willys CJ2A parts. Two jeeps, no titles, basic rust spots. Both have original vin tags attched. Both are rollers with enough parts to put one together. Three sets of rims, regular and white spoked. Rebuilt complete engine transmission and transfer case. 134-L head with GM alternator and power steering pump. Also early 40’s military grill. Extra axles. Fun winter project. Would like not split up package. $1900 or best offer.”
It’s a project with potential.

“Project that needs finishing it sat in my neighbors barn since the eighties, I’ve worked on it for awhile and lost interest. Got good bones worthy of being finished
Fenders / hood / grill sandblasted (great shape no rust)
New floor boards / tub was stripped has repairs and filler
Underside looks in decent shape not much rust it was stored in a covered area.
Seat frames and tailgate have been fixed a few times / frame is rock solid no rust thru
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
Not sure if this runs or not.
“CJ2A Frame and Drivetrain.”
Not sure how much value is here, but could be worth a look.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/516134415900819/
“Great winter project! Schedule a time to come see it! Clean title, lots of extra engine parts. Miles unknown.”
Not engine or trans.

“No engine or trans. Custom stainless front and rear bumpers and custom front fenders to allow fuel cans. Nice project with title.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/09/2019) Has a replacement body.
https://scranton.craigslist.org/ctd/d/coal-township-1947-willys-cj2a/6996844999.html
“3 speed manual, 4cyl, 4×4, 60 hp @400 rpm, 105 ft torque @2000 rpm Engine type L4 134 “ Go Devil “ original 76011 miles”
Has some later model Free Lock hubs.

“Stored in a garage in the Colorado Mountains since 1982, this jeep was recently pulled out and revived. It shows just 17,557 miles on it. It runs remarkably well, starts easily, and has no visible smoke whatsoever.
It has a new fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel line, and rebuilt the carburetor. It got a major tune up, oil change and a new battery. All of the wheel cylinders were replaced, new brake shoes and a new master cylinder.
The dry climate in Colorado has preserved the body. There is a crack in the RR fender near the spare tire mount that is showing minor rust. The tub and floors are very good, but the floor supports are rusting and need replacing. (Easy to do and not expensive)
The seats and interior are in very good condition.
The tires are dry cracked and need to be replaced. Right windshield is cracked.”
Appears worth a look.

“Runs /Drives
$ 3000.00”
That’s a heavy looking bumper.
https://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/cto/d/north-richland-hills-1947-jeep-willys/6999825200.html
“I think it has the original 4 cyl engine. Sounds like a tractor. Runs and drives has all new brake system, heavy duty bumpers and custom roll bar. Body in better shape than most 47’s. Tons of potential. These are getting hard to find”
Includes a CJ-2A parts jeep.
https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/d/dallas-1944-gpw-jeep/6998986686.html
“This Jeep is a little rough but has lots of parts most other WWII Jeeps are missing. It’s odd it retains many parts that were taken off but it appears to been treated ruff by the metal work – like the floor.
The front wheels are the rare two piece which I have rarely seen and maybe the dual rear wheel option they had offered.
Motor is not the best but I will include another mostly complete early green CJ-2 that should have a good motor – it turns over – oil looks good – and has anti-freeze in the radiator.
Not wanting to send a lot of pictures – best come and look at it and the parts Jeep.”
Part’s jeep: 
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was 3500.
(10/11/2019) Appears to have an f-head.
“Clean title….runs…decent tires…. body straight with very little rust. Would make an excellent project Jeep this winter.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $2700. This was previously listed in Irvine.
(09/16/2019) From the pics, it looks like there was some good work done on this.
“Very cool Willy’s Jeep all original drivetrain does not run. It looks like the cowl and windshield were grafted from a Willy’s wagon, and the steel cab is all one piece. Probably not a prototype vehicle or a relative to the CJ4, but a cool “missing link” CJ2a built with awesome craftsmanship 40+ years ago. Possibly a non-US made Jeep wagonette. Suicide doors latch. Great patina. This will be the coolest Jeep at Easter Jeep safari.”
