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 $900.
(06/23/2016) “47 CJ2Aproject with an extra tub for patch panels. Jeep is apart but is a rolling project w/trans and axles still functioning. No title.contact me for more info. Nice jeep project. Could be used to make a military jeep clone. Please be serious if you contact me – not just a tire kicker”
No pics provided.
“Nice survivor. Rebuilt 134 cu inch Hurricane engine. Brand new clutch, pressure plate, pilot bearing and fork, with the addition of the upgraded input shaft bearing for the transmission (with seals). Everything works – transfer case, brakes, electricals (lights, gauges) and even the horn. New 6 volt battery. Seats in excellent shape, with rear bench, and matching top and spare tire cover. One look and you’ll see how well this Willys was taken care of.”

UPDATE: This was listed on BAT’s auction, but only reached $11,600, less than its reserve.**SOLD** Was on ebay
“This Jeep CJ-3A is a restored example that was featured on BaT in January of 2014. Power is supplied by a L-134 “Go Devil” four-cylinder and 3-speed manual transmission. The seller states that the previous owner purchased the jeep from the second owner in 2003, and restoration work was completed in 2004. It has been co-owned by the seller and a business partner since 2014. Just under 21k miles have been driven since the completion of restoration work, around 500 miles of which were driven during the seller’s ownership. Details of the restoration include replacement of the body tub, sandblasting and refinishing the frame, a new top and interior, and detailing of the mechanical components.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Are the headlights recessed? There’s something different here.
“This jeep has been on my farm and doesn’t get driven. I just sent it to the mechanic and had a new starter installed and some wiring repaired. The jeep looks good, has the original engine, but the body has some obvious previous repair work performed. I never had a title, this vehicle is old enough that it can be sold with a bill of sale.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $1200. Last listed in 2015. The seller includes pics in the ad of an M-38 body on another frame. It’s not clear if that is included or just an accidental upload to the ad.
Not sure how much value is here.

https://stgeorge.craigslist.org/cto/d/1946-willys-jeep/6352783246.html
I can’t tell if theirs rust alone the bottom of the driver’s side of the body or if it is something else.The jeep has some mods.
“Beautiful example of a rust free, unmolested old Willy’s. All the right upgrades, but still very nostalgic and original. Shackle extension to give it a little lift. F Head motor, upgraded axles, new wiring, upgraded windshield, still 6 volt, new front tie rods and ball joints, tires, rebuilt generator etc…. Pretty sorted, a little tinkering, but runs and drives pretty darn good for an ancient relic! I was so excited about getting it and really wanted to keep it, but I’m running out of room and have another project coming. Has a good soft top and doors included as well as a few extra parts. Seats are in excellent shape, rear seat is a bit worn, but looks like it might be original as well. Starts right up! Come take a look. The market is all over the place on these, but I think it is fair and even a little under for it’s condition. I’ve seen them for more and I’ve seen them for less. I feel it’s middle of the road.”

This may be a fairly early VEC. Had a column shift, has tool indents, and has the squares on the windshield.

It’s a project.

It’s a project, but not bad for the price.
“Selling a rusty 1948 Willy’s CJ 2A. Will come with everything shown in vehicle. Has original transmission, transfer case ,axles and has transfer case for 302. No motor in the CJ, has hole cut in hood for 302 to be put in.”

Rough. Includes an extra tub.
“Selling a Jeep Willys CJ2A. As you can see from the pictures, it does not run. The motor does turn by hand and the transmission/transfer case seems to shift like it should. The body is mostly rusted. The grill is solid. With the Jeep comes 2 spare axles, 1 front with manual locking hubs and 1 rear. Also I have another steering box and quite a bit of other small parts. Selling as is, no title. Text for any more information. Thanks. Asking $1000 OBO. Make me an offer. I’m also throwing in another body tub. It does not have as much rust and the floor has been patched by a previous owner.”
Lots of new parts, but there’s a lot of work left for an $11,000 2A.
“This restoration is about 90% complete. The engine has been professionally rebuilt. It has new tub, complete new braking system. The frame has been sandblasted and painted. New radiator core, gas tank and gas lines, W.O. Carter carburetor, alternator, seat upholstery, windshield and glass, new wiring harness, gauges, clutch and pressure plate. The entire tub, grille, hood, fenders and tailgate are primed and ready for final paint. Engine is temporarily wired for demo running. Many other new parts included as well.”

https://kalamazoo.craigslist.org/cto/d/willys-jeep-1946/6348203388.html
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5000.
(09/14/2017) Could be worth a look.
“It can be used as a recreational or farm/ranch vehicle currently. It would need more work to become street legal. The engine starts and runs nice. It has a new aluminum radiator and never gets close to overheating. I’ve also recently installed new gas tank, lines and fuel pump, along with a new five year battery. The tires have great tread for the mud. All the gauges and lights work, but recently cracked the back light covers, which is a cheep and easy fix.”
https://easttexas.craigslist.org/cto/d/1946-cj-2a-jeep-willy/6350558311.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
The VIN is listed at 179486, which would make it a ’48.
“V8 small block engine

very good”
