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 .
Has some old school hood art.

“Nice 1946 Willys cj-2a Jeep. New tires.
5th child due this summer, our little Jeep will be officially outgrown.
Would trade towards a 2016+ Honda Foreman Rubicon, Willy’s m-677, or utv.
$5000”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Has updates and a Sears hardtop.
“1948 willy’s jeep, it is in good condition. It has a 312 lincoln motor v8 in it. Runs good, body is in fair condition.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $450.
This could work for someone.
“This is a rolling chassis from an early CJ2A. I believe it’s early because it has a floating rear axle which was only in MB’s, GPW’s and early CJ2A’s.
The frame is RUST FREE, but it does have a quality repair done to the left front frame horn.
It’s a nice fix, just not original.
The home made front bumper is welded on but none of the frame was damaged or cut off. It could easily be brought back to stock, if desired.
Comes complete with wheels, rear draw bar, steering and everything else shown EXCEPT the trans/transfer case.
That can be left on for an additional fee.
CALLS ONLY, and not after 8pm. Text and emails will be ignored, thanks to scammers.
Located in 10588 zip. Please look it up before calling and asking “where are you located?”.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** for $6100 on eBay
This is a no reserve auction. It has a fun paint job.
“Very nice Jeep Willy’s CJ2A with a strong later Jeep V6 engine with headers. Custom paint job. Transmission and transfer case were recently rebuilt. Original Steel body. New bikini top (can be hemmed for custom fit). Roll cage and bench seat. Always kept inside. Zero rust! Great body out/under and in between. Super sold example! There is a small spot on rear passenger fender that needs painted (black to match other side) but this does not affect the nice paint job at all. Otherwise I know of nothing that it needs. Good tires, brakes and clutch. Very well cared for inside and out. Keep in mind this is a 73 year old vehicle so expect some imperfections. Clear title in hand.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
A little nitpicky item. The seller notes the tranny was rebuilt, but shows a pic of the transfercase. The drain hole appears filled.
“Jeep for sale. 1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A for sale. $8500. Runs great. Fun to drive. Original Go Devil engine. 134cc, 60 HP. This one has overdrive too. Electrical was updated to 12 volt, new alternator, new hoses, new belt, new battery, new thermostat and coolant replaced. 4 wheel drive works, overdrive works, emergency brake does not work. All the electrical works, like headlights, taillights, lighter, etc. Transmission rebuilt a few years back, looks good as you can see in the picture”

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.
