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.
(12/07/2017) I wonder how the plates on the front bumper are used.
“This 1948 Willys Jeep has a clean title. I actually have the original title. It has only had two owners. It has the original 4 cylinder engine. It does need new points and plugs. It also needs the brakes replaced. The new brakes come with it, but do need installed. We are open to fair offers.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
It’s a project. I thought at first the hardtop was a Porter & Reed model, but the curved rear of the roof isn’t standard for that model, unless this is some later version that we don’t have documented.
“Rough but a good starting point. No drivetrain. No title but will do a bill of sale, bonded title should be easy on this. Comes with aluminum hardtop and steel doors with glass…..”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $400.
(11/09/2017) Maybe some parts value here.

(10/10/2017) “For Sale: 1949 Willys CJ2A. Excellent Restoration Project Candidate.
Original, un-modified, un-changed from OEM configuration. Colorado Title.
L134 original motor, Split windshield. Rolling on a set of OEM Jeep 15 inch by 4.5 steel rims
No back seat.
Running and driving two years ago. Needs gone through.
Complete, less oil bath air filter.
History: This jeep was in one family for over 20 years. Five years ago Grandpa developed dementia. Two years ago he began taking things apart for no apparent reason. Unfortunately this was the case with the Jeep. Grandpa has passed and family moving. I bought the jeep and put it back together with what was there and what I could scrounge. This is a nice little jeep, a solid, good starter for father and son, father-daughter project. Motor turns freely and crystal clear oil came out of motor. Clean green coolant was in the radiator. This could be a terrific ranch or hunting jeep, or get it back on the road.
First $2,400 CASH OR CASH WITH MAN TRADE ITEM(S) TAKES IT! I am looking for a Snap On top and bottom box, tools, home protection and hunting items always a plus.”

Could be a good price.
“Selling my 1948 CJ2A ‘Lefty.’ Original motor although not all original. Runs well but could use brake work like most need. Some added plate in rear bed and complete with soft top. Wheels shown on vehicle stay with my ’47 to be replaced by spokes shown in other photo. I do have 5 regular rims with OLD snow tires that can be included if desired. Year of manufacture plate from Spokane county stays with the jeep so you don’t need to register every year. I do have a roll bar that can be included if desired.”

Has potential. Seller does not want to ship.
“1946 CJ2A with Chevy 265 bored to 289, 2 barrel carb. Has not worked since 1991. In its day it had gone through the Rubicon several times. Needs much work, understatement.
Look forward to hearing from you BUT not the people who ask me to save it for you , will send more money than its worth, need it shipped across the country, can’t communicate because your in another country and do not know the basics of english. You people can take a long walk off a sort pier but you probably do not understand what I just typed, Right!
This jeep has a old history in south shore. Our family would love to see it on the road again.”

“Mid-year 1947, CJ2A for sale, mostly original components, in good condition, runs and drives well, 4WD works, stays in all gears, not fully restored but well maintained and cleaned up for sale. This Willys jeep has a lot of powder coated piece parts, to include all five wheels, bumpers/cross members, front grille, tailgate, windshield frame, driver and passenger seat frames, passenger side tool box, headlight cans and headlight rings, mirrors, windshield latches, footman loops, gas pedal, brake and clutch pedals, and various covers and plates. I’m still finishing up a few detail items such as welting and felt on the radiator shroud; have new air cleaner on order. Asking $14,500 but will consider any reasonable offer (cash offers only – am NOT interested in trades). Additional pictures are available upon request. The vehicle is legally registered and licensed in Alabama. Does not have title but Alabama (and many other states) does not require a title to register/license a vehicle this old.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2950.
This has quite the front bumper setup. It runs.
“Selling this original barn find 1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep. It has had two owners since new and the last time it was titled was 1978. The mileage is original as it has only been on two Wisconsin farms since new, always barn stored.
Clear title, fairly rust free (front floor pans have one small hole 2-3 inches in floor pan under gas tank), also including new gas tank, rear center floor pan and braces which should take care of any rust issues. Powder coated seat frames and pans, new premium seat covers with foam, all nuts and bolts, new gasket kits, wheel cylinders, master cylinder in boxes, also includes original oil filter housing and air filter assembly and more.
This is a straight forward winter project that starts and runs great but will need some work to drive. $2950 or offer before I have the work done and store until spring.”
