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: **SOLD** Was $2800.
(05/18/2019) Ran when parked … Looks to have Cutlas power lock hubs. I believe that’s a Kelly hardtop.
“Ran when parked rebuilt engine original unsure of actual miles on it. 2800 with plow 2500 without. Yes it has a clear title and is classic plated.”
Has had some recent work done.

“1946 Willys CJ-2a This is the FIRST non-military model. CJ-2a Complete frame on restoration on this vehicle. If you follow these Willy’s Jeeps closely, you understand that its very rare you see these early post-war jeeps pop up for sale. But, it’s even rare+ to see them restored to this condition. This 1946 Willy’s Jeep CJ-2a has an amazing color combination and 700 miles on it since its full restoration.
The CJ-2a was the first Willy’s Jeep used for non-war or peace duty (CJ = Civilian Jeep), but there is no denying the military forces influences on this early example. You cannot help but see the same basic style that brought victory in World War II. An icon like this does not need to be flashy, but the fresh coat of a deep green paint really adds a touch that is typically lost on these jeeps.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
(05/19/2019) Passenger side floor likely patched. Drains holes have been filled.
“NO TRADES-DONT ASK. Very nice ’47 Willys cj2a. Has the original 4 cylinder engine and 3 speed manual. I have a bikini top for it. Not a show piece just a nice driver. Bought this to use as a neighborhood runner in place of my golf cart but changed my mind so here’s your chance. Was told everything was new or rebuilt about 12 years ago. It has basically sat since then. Previous owner used it sparingly. Runs and drives excellent. Clean and clear title. Not a fire sale, I’m just putting it out here. Believe me I have no reservations about wrapping it up and putting it in storage if it doesn’t sell.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(04/28/2019) Remove the top and you could lose this in a grass field.

“Selling my 1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A. Don’t know too much about the history of it but I’ve owned it for a couple of years. Flathead 4 cylinder motor. I’ve done some work on it, wasn’t running when I bought it. New water pump, new copper head gasket along with a used head that I had magnafluxed at NAPA machine shop and it checked out fine with no cracks. The head it came with was cracked and caused coolant to get into the oil. It’s a 12 volt electrical system. Just installed a new carburetor because the one it came with didn’t have an accelerator pump and caused it to bog and stumble and not run like it should. Removed the fuel tank and had it cleaned and treated with sealant. Also just installed new ignition points, condenser and internal resister coil. Gauges work including speedometer, volt meter, temp gauge and oil pressure is 40 psi. The transmission shifts, hi and lo range and 4 wheel drive functions like it should. It stops but pulls a little to the right, brake shoes might need adjusted. It’s a smoker so it might need rings but it runs decent like it is. Not interested in trades”
Someone’s put a lot of time into this militarized CJ-2A build.

UPDATE: Travis spotted this jeep. He noted that it’s been listed as an antique, which I would imagine circumvents the Craigslist fee. I suspect we’ll see more of that. One price is $1600 and another (in the text) is $1500. Body is fiberglass.
