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 .

New fuel system (tank, pump, steel lines), new suspension system, new steering gear, new exhaust, new paint (period correct Harvest Tan), new period correct seats and upholstery. It has working turn signals and converted to 12 volt. Starts and runs well. It’s ready for those Fall runs to the ice cream shop or the baseball field. There is no better way to run around town. Clear title in hand.”
Has a variety of early parts.
“This was the 1117th cj made after WWII. As far as I know it is original motor. When I bought it had just been mechanically restored by a company called Northstar Willys. He found the 38th one and decided to sell this one. I had some body work done but tried to keep as much original as possible. I did however change to a 12volt system. The Jeep runs good and as you can see in one of the photos it looks like the water pump just started leaking other than that no real issues. I used the jeep very little… just as a my mule to haul tools for small projects around where I live. Unsure of actual mileage.”

“1947 Willys CJ2A. This is a complete Jeep – some assembly required! I started on this project about 10 years ago with a decent unmolested barn find jeep. (The last inspection sticker on the jeep was 1965 so it believe it had been sitting in the barn for that long) It was disassembled and sandblasted. The original body has been professionally repaired and is ready for paint. The body and tailgate numbers match. The frame is nice, front horns are good, with the original gussets. The engine is correct however it has been disassembled for a rebuild. (New Pistons, valves, springs, gaskets included) Fenders, hood, grille, windshield frame, seat frames have been blasted, primed with DP90 and are all in good condition.
If you are looking to do a correct restoration on a CJ2A, this is the jeep for you to start with. If you just want an old willys that looks like an “army jeep” then you should look elsewhere. A reproduction body kit runs about $3700. For another $1000, you can get a correct ORIGINAL body kit with a clean PA title and the rest of the jeep. I will add pictures as I dig the rest of the stuff out of the barn. I will start with Craigslist and if it doesn’t sell then I will move to ebay. Serious inquiries and phone calls only please… (emails and bs texts will be ignored)”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5600.

“Selling my willys. When I bought it I was told it was a 1953 willys cj3a but someone who came because they needed a cj3- says it is actually a 1948 cj2a with a cj3a windshield. Either way It is a willys project. floor boards have been replaced. Only reason I’m selling is because I have too many projects. 4cyl engine partially installed – never heard it run but makes compression when turned over by hand. its still a 6v system. have the generator, but no starter. Solid – has some rust underneath but well worth the time and effort. no title bill of sale only. ”
https://maine.craigslist.org/cto/6038993208.html
Listed as a CJ-3A, it has a 2A windshield, so may actually be a 2A.
“For sale is a 1949 Willys CJ-3A (Jeep). The overall body of the vehicle is very solid with just a couple areas with minor surface rust. Would be an ideal vehicle to use for hunting, but can be used for just about anything. Vehicle still runs good and just needs some cleaning up. Please only serious inquires and questions pertaining to the vehicle. Also please no calls after 8pm. ”
