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 $2500.
Could be a good price, but perhaps there’s something seriously wrong?
“Jeep needs some work runs.”
UPDATE: Price bumped to $6500.
(11/06/2018) Looks like it has an F-head (and a large hole in the hood).

Seller’s text describes this as an auction?
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2381993698753653/
“Complete frame off restoration on 1946 CJ2A. This is an early column shift. Jeep was taken down to bare metal for a complete nut and bolt restoration. Absolutely every bit of rust was removed. Engine, transmission, differentials, transfer case, brakes etc were all rebuild. New brake lines, new everything.
We used every non wear part and sourced original Willy’s/Jeep parts we could to keep it as original as possible. Correct pasture green color with hand painted wheel stripe just as it was when it came out of Willy’s. I have pictures of the restoration process. This auction includes hard to find rear PTO and Drum pulley implement. Soft top was hand made and includes original top bow set and doors with window surrounds. Your going to be hard pressed to find a finer example of an early 2A. Serious offers only this price is extremely fair and well under what was spent to restore.”
Could be a good price.

“Jeep runs good , flat head , no rust”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
The soft top does’n have the snaps on the body to which it needs to attach. Has a column shifter.

Could be worth a look.

“1947 Willies CJ2A. My Realtor doesn’t allow 3 vehicle and truth be told I no longer want to work on it. The Jeep runs jut fine. There is an oil leak that can be easily fixed, I just haven’t fixed it because it’s been to cold to drive. Other than that the Passenger side window is cracked but can be replaced for $110. Clean Title. There are still a few miscellaneous original gauges that will finish this out but for the most part is 90% complete”

(03/30/2019) I guess the CJ-2A isn’t a “regular” jeep?
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/375952539664029/

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
(02/09/2019) I think the trailer shown (though covered by a tarp) isn’t included in the price. The jeep hasn’t been run in a couple decades.
“World War II Trailer is also available. (Bought together the price is cheaper). Jeep has removable aluminum hardtop, back seat, tow bar, tow balls, roll bar, windshield. Needs brake work and some body work. Two speed Hi / Lo and a 3 or 4 speed on the floor. Running when parked in a barn 20 years ago.

Up for sale is a 1947 Willys CJ2A serial #116959 that is finished as an MB style WWII Army military Jeep. The accessories that are shown in the photos are also included, which include fire extinguisher, shovel, helmet, 1945 trench shovel, replica grenade crate, three military bags, pistol belt and canteen, bridge plate (removable), jerry gas can, door safety straps, and soft canvas top.
This jeep is ready to be driven and can be enjoyed today. It is great in Parades, errands, and road trips. I use it currently for trips to the hardware store and Walmart. You get lots of looks and high fives. This is a Fun jeep! This is NOT a frame-off restoration. I take good sound jeeps, fix and upgrade where it needs it, and finish them to military.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
Seems to have potential.
“1946 Willys CJ2A in need of restoration. It is solid. The jeep is from South Dakota and has seen very little if no salt. I was going to restore it, but its been in the corner of my garage for years and time to move it. I have some misc new parts that will go with it. I also pulled the engine a year ago and is currently on an engine stand that will go with it. Clean title in hand.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is up for sale again on eBay. Regarding the “1953 Willys MB Jeep F-head” statement, the seller included that to attract hits rather than for accuracy (we had this discussion back in 2014).
For all you zombie haters, here’s a zombie hunting jeep.
“Up for auction, fresh out of the hills of Crossville, Tennessee, the Zombie Hunter! I have been in the paint and body work field for over 28 years, I have restored several Willys Jeeps (CJ2A, MB’s, etc) but I decided this time around to do a custom Willys Rat Rod!
