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 $4950

Needs power steering hooked up, blinkers wired,…but I’ve been driving in the summer this way for the past few years with no issues. Jeep does have black canvas top in great condition. Tires have at least 90% tread left. I seriously only drove this thing 300 miles a year for the past 10 years or so. It’s just at the bottom of my to do list. 4 speed transmission with overdrive upgraded brakes miscellaneous other things shoot me a text of what you have to trade. Hardest off roaring was a gravel logging rd.”
Has updates and a half cab (Mostly likely a Kelly).

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7800.
This is a mix of parts. Seller claims the body is a CJ-3A, but it’s an M-38. Those “Desert Dog” tires must be recaps?? The windshield is military, not CJ-2A.
“Chance of a Lifetime? 1945 Willy’s Jeep built by hand with crate parts in 1973. Approx 6K Miles. Runs amazing. Starts right up every time. I am the 2nd owner. Lights and turn signals work. 4wd works. 4 cyl Flathead engine. This Jeep has won a couple car shows. No rust that I’ve seen. Garage kept it’s entirety.
‘45 Jeep CJ 2A Chassis, ‘48 CJ 2A Head Engine, ‘52 CJ 3A Body.”
UPDATE: There were two CJ-2As available, but it appears the gray one sold.

“1947 Willys CJ2A. Has clear title and vintage tags. Has original-equipment Go Devil four-cylinder engine, new brakes, new suspension, completely rewired with working headlights, turn signals and gauges. Glass is perfect. New fuel tank. Three speed on the floor. Converted to 12-volt. Roll bar, emergency brake, seat belts. Small shackle lift that can be easily removed to bring to stock height. Runs well and stops well. Drive train and 4-wheel drive work. Being the 70-plus-year-old workhorse it is, top speed is 45 mph. Would need to be trailered. Nothing fancy; far from perfect, but surviving civilian version of the vehicle that helped win World War II. Come out to the ranch in North Central Washington and take a look at Grandpa’s old Jeep. Cash sale, as is, where is. $4,500.“
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1400.
The $1700 price includes the rear PTO and gearbox (I’m assuming the seller is selling the rear gearbox, the shaft, and the PTO … this might not be the case). Without it, the price is $1300. The PTO is also listed separately here.

“This is a well maintained 1946 CJ2A that runs well and is kept in the garage when it is not being driven. Title is clear and Mileage is about 79,000 and climbing since it is usually driven for short trips every week or two during the summer. No front end shimmy. Frame is solid and bumpers are straight. Electrical system is the original 6 volt configuration. All gauges work along with headlights, taillights, blinkers, horn, and dash light. Heater and heater fan work well. The winch was manufactured by Sears and is operated by a hand crank. The body is in decent shape and would be a good candidate to restore. It has a hard top with doors that are easily removed by pushing out the hinge pins and the rear upper gate removes like a storm window. The entire cab can be removed by unscrewing four large wing nuts around the back, and two j-Bolts holding the roof to windshield frame. There is a modified bus seat that fits nicely in the back for more passengers.
Also included are lots of new and used parts such as clutch and pressure plates, clutch rebuild kits (still in WWII packaging), front axels, U-Joints, Carburetor, differential (New still in cosmoline), new in the box sealed beam headlight, starters, tie rods and ends, water pumps and much more….
If responding by email, please put “JEEP” in the subject line so my SPAM filter doesn’t catch it.”
UPDATE: Still Available. The seller is a friend of Glenn’s. Per Glenn, the seller “really wants to sell this nicely restored Jeep and will listen to a reasonable offer knowing he will not recoup costs.” If you have questions, feel free to contact Dave at drault58@myfairpoint.net.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3800. Seller has master cylinder that needs to be installed.

“Willys jeep, 1940s? Ran when parked ~10 years ago and now seized. Rough body. No registration. Sold as-is. $950 OBO.”
If you are looking for a non-stock 2A body, this could work. It’s one of the repro CJ bodies with the passenger side tool indents and military-like glove box on the passenger side of the dash.

“Restored ’48 CJ2A Willys Jeep original drive train with Warn Overdrive and front lockout hubs 12 volt electrical with turn signals solid rust free body everything works needs nothing.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,950.
Has some minor updates.
“I purchased this vehicle from an older gentleman who had owned it for 44 years. He used it in his orchard for several years and then had it in storage for over 30 year. He had done a ton of work on it. The vehicle has rusty floor pans which were replaced properly. He had the body off the frame and had the body work done and painted. About 300 miles ago he had the entire drive line gone through, engine, transmission and transfer case. He had the tranny rebuilt since it had lots of wear.
The leaf springs are all new.
The brakes have all been worked on. The rear drums were able to be turned and were then put on the front with new break pads. The rear drums could not be turned so new ones were purchased but need to be installed along with the brake pads. You can see the hubs and brakes in the picture.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
It’s got the early windshield, but does not have full floaters. It runs.
“Got to many projects going right now-
1946 Willy’s CJ2A Column shift. Runs & drives, Brakes need going thru-
Frame is Solid, body is pretty good-some spots need attention, floors need a little attention also but are not shot- few patches and they’ll be good.
Turn key and the Go Devil Flat Head starts right up! Has been converted to 12V. But not molested-
I can text a video! I drive it around the yard and up the rd(no brakes)
Looking to see what’s out there for trades- this is valued at around $4000 as it sits- most Column shift Willy’s are in private collections or museums. & this is a VEC has Military tool slots, column shift, square washers, many GPW marked parts. Machine gun mount on the crossmember up under the body!”
Engine is stuck.

“Willy’s WWII Jeep. Great Piece of History.

Wife is Pregnant Again! Need to Sell Fast!! Trade up down or sideways! Call Me!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
This was likely a Springfield, Oregon, fire jeep (based on the logo design) at some point.
