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 .
It runs, but needs work.

“For sale is a 1948 Willy’s CJ-2A. Engine runs but will need rebuild. Rebuilt generator and starter, exhaust, fuel and brake lines, master cylinder and gas tank. Jeep has been in New Mexico and Texas so no significant rustling of panels. A very original Jeep with very little modification. Title available however still under name of previous owner who passed away.”
More evidence that suggests the rumor of a Spokane Jeep dealer extending CJ-2As into “CJ-2Ls” was true. Thanks to Jay for spotting it. The hardtop has a Cab Enclosure data plate, suggesting that this top is a modified (hacked) version of that top.

“1948 Willys CJ-2A Jeep complete. This jeep is perfect for a full restoration project. Engine turns over freely, but does not start. Needs brakes. It has a hard top taken from a 1/4 ton truck welded to the body. Surface rust and some sheet metal rust out (see photos).
Started restoration, but stopped due to injury and now moving. Have all the parts removed plus new 50 Amp 12 volt alternator.”
May be worth a look.

“I’m selling a 1946 Willys cj2a, it has the original motor and transmission, new fuel pump, carb, inline filter, hoses and new tires. I have covers for the seats I have not put on.”
There must be a story here with this one. This jeep looks like it was rattle-canned hastily (and perhaps there was a deal on white paint that day, too).

The seller notes the tub is a reproduction. It appears to have a cj chassis.

“I bought it from a guy who bought it in the Pittsburgh area. Apparently, it sat in a firehouse for many years and was maintained by the firemen. I converted from 6v to 12v because it’s cold and put in a key ignition. It actually came with a Geiger counter. Pretty cool.”
The price includes the trailer and the jeep.

“1946 Willys jeep runs drives 4×4 works straight body Has 6 cylinder Ford engine Brakes need finishing Has a little rust but it’s a Texas car so not bad for a 72 year old. Court house ran the serial number and gave me paper work to get the title but said I’d have to register and buy plates as soon as it came in so I didn’t see any sense in paying twice.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
No title. Lots of work remaining.
“1947 jeep Willy’s rebuilt motor needs work no title just bought new carb.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Seller lists $3500 in the headline, but $4500 in the text.
“1948 Willy’s Jeep, 350 Chevy motor, runs and drives, tags are current, we have the top for it also, needs some minor work $3500. 2002 Ford F-150, standard, runs perfectly fine, 4.2 engine, single cab, tires are really good $4500.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
(08/23/2017) Brakes were fixed recently.
“48 Cj 2a runs and drives good lots of fun new 11 inch break conversion new front springs fuel tank master cylinder fuel pump all lights and signal lights work the break conversion was done by willys restoration in Toledo”
UPDATE: The price has been dropped to $9000. I swear there was a serial number of 34043 listed, but if it was there, it is no longer there now.
The serial number of 34043 is a bit late for indents. Given the flat plate over the tranny, this may have been a column shift.

“1946 willys CJ2A

Starts right up and ready to go.
Needs a little work but not much at all.”
The poster of this jeep does not appear to be the seller, but the actual seller’s p# appears to be hidden. So, it seems you’ll have to contact the poster to get the p#. The steps appear patched.

“Has pinto engine but runs and drives”
Listed as a 1946, this is definitely a lefty. No description provided.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1759511557395088
This probably should be a column shift.
“All original except motor. Ran last year, but brake lines blew. Ready for someone with money, and time to restore history”
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/271365206718354
The drain holes are filled. It’s listed as a 3A, but the windshield suggests 2A.

“Runs good ..needs a little bodywork and a few other things .New bestop soft top. Title in hand . Ready to drive.”

“1947 willy s flat fender no motor or trans Dana 44 offset posi rear Dana 30 closed knuckle front 423 gears near mint windshield frame and window lots of good parts will sell as roller”
This looks like it has a Warn OD stick still in it. Between that and the rims alone, there could be $600 in value.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(02/09/2018) Appears solid.
