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 $3000.

“For sale 1930 classic car jeep willy call”
I’m pretty confident that WWII ended in 1945 ….
“This is a 1948 Willy’s Jeep CJ2a made by Kaiser Steel in California. These were made by 3 companies during World War II. Kaiser made by far the most of them. They were made to be sturdy and take an extreme pounding. The simplicity of their systems made them really easy to repair and keep on the road. They are great for a fun family off road vehicle. Or for use in parades or other promotional events. They aren’t meant for modern highways as their top speed is around 55 mph. However these vehicles will almost climb telephone poles.
There are not many places an old CJ won’t take you in the backcountry. This has the original L134 4 Cylinder Flathead Engine it originally came with. Not sure about the running condition of the motor. It is numbers matching and all there. It sat in a garage for at least 12 years. According to the original owners when they parked it in the garage it was in running condition. We acquired this thinking of restoring it but then we got another project that needs to take precedence. The only thing not original is its been upgraded to an alternator. This gives it much better and reliable charging than the original 6 volt system”

Look solid.
“Refurbished from the frame up. Original flat 4 engine and body. This is a great winter project. With very little work that need to be completed. While it does not currently run. We did put s little gas in the carburetor and it fired right up. Has the title, but the serial numbers don’t match perfectly. This is common for these types of vehicles since this is the first civilian model, they were trying to use the supply of WWII parts.
Things still needed to be worked on:
1) wiring harness need hooked up
2) new tires
3) possibly a second seat
4) driving assembly needs connected.
That’s it. About 200 dollars of parts and labor you have an almost show room quality Willy’s ready to go. I am getting a divorce and it needs to go. That the only reason why I’m selling it.”

This is an incomplete jeep listed as a 1942 GPW, but there seems to be no GPW parts here.

Seller lists this as a 1942, but it looks civilian to me.
“Really good project…got it in a trade and wanted to restore it but don’t have the time…Runs and 4×4 works but brakes do not….Solid Jeep…needs some TLC but we’ll worth the money”

“Willys cj-2a for sale
Asking 3000 cash obo no trades
1947 Willy’s cj-2a.
street legal
Motor and transmission rebuilt around 3000 miles ago. Has BEST top soft top, bikini top, CB radio, rugged ridge 10,500 lb. winch, and tow bar, full roll cage, electric wipers, spare tire, custom gas tank, drivers and passengers heaters, axillary cooling fan, high jack, jerry can and RIGHT LOCK lockers in rear differential
Foot start with key. I have the original motor for a spare, it runs but smokes pretty badly. The speedometer and temp gauge work, oil and amp gauge not functioning.
I mainly used this as my off road vehicle so it’s pretty beat up, but it will take you anywhere you could possibly want to go, the high jack has a bend in it near the top.
While I do have a tow bar It gets the jeep death wobble if you tow it with it, tow dolly or trailer would be best , I had a custom gas tank made so I would have to worry about puncturing it, I’ve never gotten around to putting a fuel sensor in it. It has the L-134 (go devil) motor and the T-90 transmission both in excellent working order.
I hate to sell but i don’t have the time to take her out and play anymore and I need the room in my garage for other projects”
This has a mix of parts.

Terry’s got this VEC for sale.
“For sale as is, will restore for you or will build to your specs. 1946 Willys, CJ2A, S/N 29968. This is an early CJ2A and is one of the very rare first units that is equipped with the, still intact, column shift system. No restorative work has been done. The body and chassis are very solid with minimal rust. There is some body “character marks” that are repairable. Overall the body components are in good shape. The motor is seized. The transmission and transfer cases both shift. There have been some minor repairs, comparatively speaking, done to the front frame horns. The jeep is very complete with very few of the original parts missing. This is a great jeep for an accurate restoration. Please check out my FB page, Buege’s Classic Jeep & 4X4 to view some of my other projects. References are available. I look forward to answering your questions.”
