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 .
Bill spotted this one. Seller lists this as a 1944, but it looks like a 2A to me.
“1944 jeep CJ 2A the body is in great shape. It been changed over to 12 volts .it’s pretty much stock other than a spring over but it can be put back original real easy. The motor look original but does not run”
https://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/6368921039.html
Seller lists this as a 1952, but the indents, body, and frame suggest this is a 1946 CJ-2A.
“50s jeep Willie’s complete jeep needs a bearing done in the motor I don’t have the time to finish the project, tires hold air jeep is all there and original.”
https://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/d/50s-jeep-willies/6370838662.html
Needs some work. Includes a winch.
“47′ Willy’s.
327 motor. Runs. Needs fuel line work and brake work. Winch. Won’t take much to get it on the trail”
https://cosprings.craigslist.org/cto/d/1947-willys/6370180256.html
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4500.
(10/11/2017) This has a great vintage license plate.
“This is a project jeep, but it runs and drives so you can have fun with it while you work on it.
Needs rust repair, paint, transmission rebuilt, and everything else would enjoy attention. That said, it starts right up and drives fun. Has the original running gear (L134 flathead “go-devil” engine). Although generator has been swapped to an alternator. (12v system).
4wd works nice.
Comes with rare aluminum arctic top, with aluminum doors and accompanying windshield.”

It’s a project with an updated drivetrain.

Looks in good shape, but seller suggests it needs a little work.
“1946 Flat Fender, body off, ground-up restoration 15 years ago.
Restored to original. Everything new or rebuilt.
Everything works.
Less than 200 miles since restoration
Current reg & pink slip.
Must sell. Have receipts.
Converted to 12 volt/ Has turn signals, bucket seats, built-in battery tender.
No top; no wipers.
Needs just a little TLC.”
Looks to be a 2A that might have some MB parts. The seller is under the impression that an MB frame is a stronger frame.
https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/d/rare-pre-caltrans-1948-willys/6363482236.html
“Starts right up, runs and drives!
I believe it may have been a Bureau of Highways (before caltrans) vehicle, hence it’s vintage Omaha orange color and enlarged marker flashers. It’s pink slip says CJ2a, but I’ve identified that it has a rare MB (side stamped) engine Willys go devil engine and an upgraded heavier duty MB frame too. The engine and frame look stock otherwise and are indistinguishable using the same parts, if you don’t these vehicle history.

Looks like a project.
