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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 $7000.

This jeep has been for sale for a while. The owner was asking $5000 obo, but I think now will take something lower. Looks like a great little jeep.
"This is a 1948 CJ-2A willys, Chevy 350 V8, Turbo 400 transmission Rebuilt less than 500 miles ago, Dana 18 Transfercase Rebuilt less than 500 miles ago. This is a fun little jeep. Have taken it many places Pismo Gorman ect. Does not have an overdrive top speed around 50mph. But will go up, around, through and down almost any hill you have the guts to try. Needs some work but any vehicle that old will always need tender loving care. I am getting rid of her because i got married……She has been kept in a garage and i have done alot of work to her."
Update: Price dropped to $2500
The add says '45 Willys, but the body looks to be 46 or greater, so I'm calling it a 1946 CJ-2A. It appears driver's side step isn't there, so likely some rust underneath. Also, the ad says roll bar, but it looks to be a full cage. Woodland is north of Portland.
"45 Willy's stock motor never had the head off runs and drives great nice top newly recoved seats, newer rancho suspension,roll bar $3000 OBO"
Was listed at $5700
This is a nicely modified CJ-2A called “Quick Change”. The builder built a similar drive train to what I’m doing, except for using a 289 where I’m using a buick 3.8. We even have the same rims.
“This is a jeep I picked up a while back. It has been trail riding since 1981 and has the little trail ride plates on the dash. It is a modded steel body with very little rust by some trail scars. Specs are: 1947CJ2a, Chevy 283 V8 (I was told this was a stroker…no way to prove it without dissasembly), Torker intake, Tall chevy aluminum valve covers, Edelbrock carb with the offroad needles and seats (works awesome off road)…..”
This jeep has been for sale for a few months now, but hasn’t been listed in a while.
“Here is a nice running little jeep. In stock condition with all original running gear and flathead 4 cylinder engine. Drives good and looks decent. Has had 12volt upgrade on electrical. New tires, wheels, brakes, carb, recovered seats. Has tow-bar, bikini top, and spare front axle assembly that goes with it. 4 wheel drive works great. Has some rust in the floor boards typical for this year of jeep, and passenger side windshield is cracked.
Great little rig for hunting or wheeling trails. “
I guess today is 'red jeep' day; Lots of them for sale! This stock CJ-2A still looks great. Very likely it's a good restoration candidate.
"You are viewing a good running and driving 1948 CJ2A. I've owned this Jeep for about five years. I'm the third owner and I have the title. I've done just a few things to this jeep including: rebuilt starter, generator, new brake wheel cylinders and a couple of other little things. It does leak oil and pops out of second every once in a while. The heater does not work, but did when I first got it…."
The package looks good but I doubt the price will hold. Neither the body nor the windshield is CJ-2A, so there’s some mixed and matched parts.
“new exhaust,front disc brakes,spray lined tub,8000lb winch,automatic transmission,centerline wheels,soft top and doors,totally rust free very very nice”
UPDATE: Oops, forgot to include the link — thanks Mitch
There's a number of nice detail pictures that show some nice work. Note the modern running gear (likely mid 70s CJ-5 running gear). I can't say I'm a fan of the tranny/tc mount — it's a single bar that just waiting to be hit by a rock. It most definitely needs a skid plate of some kind. I think the body is fiberglass, but I"m not entirely sure.
"Motoexotica is proud to offer this 1947 Willy's CJ-A2 Jeep 4×4. This Jeep has a 3 speed automatic transmission with newer big 33 inch mud tires. This tough Jeep is ready to play in the mud or just go for a drive. It has power steering, power brakes and a working heater!
The motor is Buick 231 Cu In 3.8 liter V6. It is fun to drive with the GM 3 speed Turbo Automatic Transmission. The motor runs strong. It has a quadrajet 4-barrel carb with an aluminum Edelbrock air intake and a Jeep transfer case with a Dana 44 rear-end."
This is probably being sold by a seller who has been trying to sell a couple other nicely finished jeeps and stainless jeep parts.
“Stainless steel willys jeep very rare call for details.will trade for muscle car,hotrod,pro street car,nice lifted rubicon wrangler rockcrawler,beach property. *** SOLD***”
I find this jeep slightly puzzling. I love the nice detail and old school upgrades — the full roll cage, the extra large windshield, a good front bumper mod, the nice paint job, updated seats — yet it still sports an F-head? This jeep looks like it should go fast, but can’t.
“Fresh F-Head 4 Cyl., new exaust, 3 speed w/overdrive, 8000# Winch, full roll cage, front disc brakes, custom tall windshield, custom seats, rock bars, custom bumpers — $4,500 o.b.o.,”
