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 has a tilt front end. No drive train (and not rear end?).
“I took off what I needed and you get the rest trades or best offer the rear end doesn’t come with it.”

Robert’s got his nice looking column shift up for sale.
“I’ll certainly miss it, but it’s time to put my column shift, 1946 CJ2A up for sale.
The body is in great condition. Of course it’s been painted some time during it’s 71 years. There is no visible rust. The floorboards and hat channels are solid. In case you didn’t know, the original willys floors were reinforced with thin metal C channels filled with wood. It was the perfect solution during the war, but the rotting wood quickly rusted the floors. Not this Willys. It’s still solid and original. Spending most of it’s life in California is probably the reason.
The engine was replace by the guy I bought it from. He said it’s a Jasper replacement engine. It’s also been converted to 12v out of a 1960s chrysler. I had the transmission rebuilt, along with all of the supporting parts (clutch, presure plate, throwout bearing, etc..) about 500 miles ago. That wasn’t cheap.
In the years that I’ve owned it, I’ve put less than 2000 miles on the odometer. In that time I’ve replace the following items.
16″NDT tires
Complete reproduction wire harness
Restored Carter carb with glass filter
Reproduction gauges
Fuel level sending unit
Rear seat
I’m sure there’s more I’m forgetting, but you are welcome to look through the folder full of receipts that I’ve kept.
I also have quite a few extra parts. Things like a vacuum wiper motor with line, a head, soft top bows, another transmission and much more.
The problems with it are a stuck horn button, the E brake doesn’t work, the carb needs adjusting (it backfires through the exhaust when you shut it off) and there is play in the steering.
Overall is an excellent, well preserved, CJ2a that I would not be afraid to drive anywhere. Add to that the fact that the column shifts were only produced for the first year and a half of production and you wind up with a very desirable old Jeep.
If you are serious about buying an old Jeep, don’t let this one slip by you. Column shifts in this condition don’t come along very often!”

Nick’s got this militarized CJ-2A for sale.
“For sale is a Jeep I shipped from Las Vegas. The Jeep is nearly rust free. It runs, drives, and stops. Lights work. Clear title.
It was a part of the infamous Phil Maloof auto collection, owned by the curator with a mechanic on staff. The collection has been visited by Jay Leno and Pawn Stars. This Jeep sat next to Duisenbergs, Rolls Royces, Lincolns, and V-16 Cadillacs.
-New canvas top, seats
-New tires
-Somewhat recent engine rebuild
-Saginaw steering – turns like butter
-Early style engine & full floating rear axle
It sat this winter – and could use some carb tuning/rebuild to run smoother.
Paint job isn’t the greatest. Other than that, this is a very nice vehicle that you can enjoy during the summer. It’s nearly impossible to find an original condition Jeep in the midwest that hasn’t been patched up. Only patched area is under the toolbox.”
Seller will sell without the winch for less.
“The price of $2500 is with the winch. I will sell it without the winch for $1700.00 The motor is original, it runs good, but it smokes a little. The hard top is included. Prices are firm and cash only. Call anytime– morning, afternoon, evenings and nights until 10 pm. I’ll be happy to answer questions.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Engine needs work.
“I bought this nice little Willys CJ2A a couple years ago from somebody near Kalispell. The story I got when I bought it was that it had been parked in enclosed storage since about 2002 without being run. It had a hard top on it from new (which I have since sold to a guy in Holland) and so had very little rust. I bought it and went up and got it, nicer than I expected except the guy said it didn’t run very well, popped back through the carb. I knew it needed some engine work when I bought it so it wasn’t a big surprise. I brought it home, threw a battery in it and it started right up but popped through the carb. I figured it had a stuck intake, which is pretty typical of these little flatheads. I pulled the plugs and tried to free it up with a brass punch but while I could get it to go down, I couldn’t get it to where it would go down just on the power of the valve spring. I ordered a set of all 8 valves, new guides and a gasket set, took it to a guy to put a set of valves and guides in; he called me a few days later and said he wasn’t going to be able to finish as he just got in a big job to do. I went and picked it up and it has been sitting in my storage ever since.
