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 $1500.
Column Shift 2A that needs lots of body work.
“Basket case. Motor is free. Rolls. CLEAN TITLE IN HAND.”
Paul Barry shared these images of an early CJ-2A for sale from last week. The VIN and the body number are nearly 10,000#s apart (VIN is 38xxx, body 28xxx), which made me wonder if this was originally two different jeeps.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5999.
Has some mods. Gas filler is behind the left rear wheel.
“This is a 1947 Willys Jeep.
It comes with a cover to protect the beautiful 2 year old red paint job.
I am selling this for a friend whose husband passed away and was restoring it– (about 90-95% restored).
4 wheel drive, 4 speed (w/PTO), GM small block V8 – 283 engine (not the original engine but runs well).
Battery 2-3 yrs old
This is a great buy at $5,999.”
Runs, but is missing a title.
“I have a complete and running all original 1948 Willys CJ2a. The title is missing, I originally bought this Willys for parts, after getting it home and tinkering with it I realized it is far too complete/original to pull pieces off of it for another project. With that said, I do not have time for two projects, therefore, regretfully, I am going to part ways with this one. I bought this jeep without a title for parts only. The frame is solid, it was broken when I bought the jeep, I have since patched it, changed the oil, put in a new battery, points and condenser and by ‘rigging’ the wiring a little and got the jeep running, which obviously mean the engine is free and seemingly decent condition for its age.
I do not know much about the jeep. By deciphering its serial number I was able to realize it is a late 48′ year jeep. Other than that, not much is known, all original equipment seems to be there in entirety. The jeep will need brakes all around, the access port cover in the floor is missing, a new wiring harness is needed, unless your better with wiring that I am, it will also need a radiator fan shroud, it does have both seat frames and the radiator cap which are not present in the photos. It is also apparent someone made an attempt at repairing the sheetmetal once before and its not great, but this is a very solid start, better than most you will find. Be clear, I don’t need to sell this jeep, so do not email me asking for my bottom dollar, if you come in person, we can talk, I will negotiate but only in person, otherwise, please don’t waste my time.”

(08/26/2013) It runs and drives.
“1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A Military Restoration
1947 painted to resemble an old military version. It was a little more complicated and expensive than I thought but it will last a long time now and be alot of fun for the kids for years to come.
I replaced the brakes from the master cylinder, lines to brake cylinders and replaced the pads and two drums, plus the emergency brake. New shocks, tires (original WWII bi-directional), a new bell housing, clutch plate, new radiator, hoses, belts and seats. We degreased the thing 3 times before I had it sand blasted and painted. Restored in 2001 and pretty much garage parked since. Engine is original and in pretty good shape.
I have about 30 current photos so let me know what you would like to see !”
UPDATE: Still Available.

(10/29/2016) Bruce has this 2A & Trailer for sale. Contact him at 865 456-3535.
“I hate to do this, but I am finally ready to sell my 1947 4WD Army Jeep and trailer. It’s a CJ2a, restored, new seats, new top, great tires, new clutch and throw-out bearing, and the transmission has been totally rebuilt. I made it into a Military Police Jeep with a working siren, faux M-1 carbine in a rifle holder at the base of the windshield, ax and shovel mounted and a military trailer to pull behind. The engine is original, and if the speedometer is correct (and I believe it is), there is 28,000 miles on her. It will go about 50+ MPH, but with the military tires, I like to stay around 40. The overall length of both the Jeep and trailer is 21 feet. I restored it myself and have used it in numerous area parades. The looks and thumbs up I get can’t be counted. Folks are so appreciative to see a working WWII era Jeep. Of course, during the 5 years I have owned it, she has been garage kept.”

“I have a blue 1947 Jeep WILLYS for sale. The body is super rusty, has been sitting for over 10 years. The engine needs to be rebuilt, but it was running when parked.
Parts: Two sets of wheels in decent shape. The tranny and front and rear axles are good. I have a spare tranny, and front and rear axle from a 1960’s Jeep that are still good. Lots of good parts for pretty cheap, price is negotiable please don’t low ball me. This could be a good parts car or a project.
It’s best to get a hold of me in the evening.”

“This a 1948 flat fender willys jeep with a flat head original 4 cylinder engine. Has some rust, but would be a fun project. Last time I had it running was about 3 years ago. The differentials have been welded to make a “redneck locker”. This is not exactly a new Jeep, but when I bought this several years ago, it was more solid than all the others I had ever looked at.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
Worth a look.
