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: Still Available.

“I have Willy’s Jeeps for sale.. between 48-52. I believe it’s a CJ2. Miscellaneous extra parts as well. $2500 each or OBO. no titles”

“1948 CJ2A..runs and drives great, stops but not well, needs brakes. F head motor has been installed and purrs, no smoke.

Needs brakes. Looks like the body might be patched along the passenger side? only one pic provided. Likely a Sears/Allstate branded aluminum half cab.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/521700050092168/
Rust free with sears aluminum cab. Snow plow. Runs good will need brake work.
There’s a lot of work to be done and some more parts needed. Looks like some original top bows? Had a title?

“Many parts are painted, started to work on the body and motor and frame. Had a title”
Looks in good shape.

“1946 Willy’s CJ 2A purchased in 1979 followed by a ground up restoration in 1980 which included conversion to a 12V electrical system. A refurbished engine was installed in 1989. Well maintained and stored inside during the winter. Minimal usage during the summer with the longest drive being to the Dairy Queen in Turtle Lake, WI.
Note – milage is an estimate. Speedometer read 5,388 when purchased and replacement (used speedometer) had 10,594 on it when it was installed in 2007.”
This looks solid.

The standard gas tank has been replaced with a tank behind the seats and filler embedded into the middle-rear of the custom hardtop.

“Old willys jeep engine is not seized up would be a great jeep for parts or project may consider parting out asking 1600 obo

The floors have been patched. I suspect the “1945” in the text is a mistype.

“I have a two 1940s CJ2A Willys Jeeps parts vehicles for sale. I used these to help restore my 1948 CJ2A. There are still some bits left on them that someone may be able to use. One is just a frame and the other has the tub although the tub is in pretty rough shape. You will need a trailer and a winch to get these out.
Asking $500 for both or your best offer”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
Looks in good shape, though needs ‘tuning’ of some kind.
“We have a 1947 Willy’s jeep. It has a few things that need tuned on it but for the most part is good to go. I used it for a little while back and forth on the highway. It’s a super fun little rig”
This has a fiberglass body.
https://willysforsale.com/ads/46-cj-2a-runs-and-drives/
“This Jeep starts, runs and drives. Fiberglass body tub and fenders. Windshield, hood and grill are OE. 12v conversion. Minimal frame rust and no apparent cracks. New fuel tank. Brand new full manual set. Hand brake doesn’t work. Needs tires and shocks. Oil seeping in several places from the drive train. When I purchased this Jeep, I was told the brakes and the clutch had been replaced. I have not verified that, but the brake lines have been replaced and the backing plates are solid. The clutch does not slip or chatter. The roll bar is only for appearance.”
UPDATE: New Ad.
(06/19/2023) Here’s a rare lengthened CJ-2A that’s been repainted since we last saw it. The new paint does make it look better.

1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A Clean Title, owned for about 10 years. Mainly storage kept but less than 500 miles since putting the motor in. 3 speed with overdrive V6 rebuilt motor that came out of a 1979 Buick Skylark. Clutch replaced with motor. Dana 18 transfer case and T90 Transmission Just rebuilt the radiator New alternator just installed as well. All 4 Tires have great tread including spare. Brand new We do have the back seat and front.

My takeaway on this one is, it’s the first I’ve heard of the town of Hasty, Colorado.

(06/21/2022) This is a this running jeep. The body has some rust.
“1946 Willy’s jeep cj2a
Starts, runs, drives, stops
Yellow with black racing stripes
Way too much to list. Just give me a call.
NO TITLE. BILL OF SALE.
There is a very easy, legit, and fully legal way to obtain title for this jeep. If you’re interested, I’ll gladly tell you how.
A brief rundown about this jeep:
It sat in a while in a field at the original owner’s property. I don’t know exactly how long. I was told it was in a shed.
It was VERY not running when I got it.
There was very clearly some work work/maintenance done to it however..
What I have done over the past 2 years:
I was going to make this into a plow vehicle, but have decided to stick with my atv.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(05/30/2023) Little known about this 2A, but it seems to have potential. I don’t see any obvious rust.

“Listing for family. 1947 CJ2A needs a new home. Very little is known about it. Looks to be mostly complete and appears that it was driven in to the shop where it currently resides. Is currently in Republic.”
