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 could use some better pics, but looks pretty nice.

Has square bolt heads on the windshield, indents, and a column shift. The VIN is supposed to be 17093, which is high for the square heads.
“1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A. First civilian Jeep Model. 4WD (Low and High) and 2WD. Three on the tree manual transmission. Flat-head four motor with all original parts with a 6V electrical system.
Does not run, motor is seized. The entire vehicle needs a TON of work. Would be a full restoration project with complete tear down and rebuild. Its been in storage in weather free storage for 12 years. Prior to that, it was barn stored. I entered ‘salvage’ condition above because there is not a “poor” option.
I’m taking offers with no certain price point in mind yet.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4200.
Seller took this to satisfy a debt and knows little about its drivability. It’s not quite as stock as the seller thinks, but appears fairly stock.
“We have a nice original 1948 Willy’s Jeep CJ2a for sale. The only thing that has been changed is it was upgraded to a 12 volt alternator from the 6 volt generator. It’s a 3 stick setup. 1 for the 3 speed transmission 1 for the hi-lo setting and 1 for the 2wd to 4wd it also has locking hubs. There is a roll bar and a bikini top which is not currently installed. It has the original 4 cylinder 134L engine in it. All the running gear is Dana. The Jeep was made by Kaiser Jeep in California. It has no rust and except for a few small bumps and bruises is in fine shape. All gauges are there and apparently in working order. It has a brand new exhaust system ready to be installed. All seats are intact but need cleaning for dust. Tires are marginal and need to be replaced with original Jeep style tires. If your looking for a mint condition Jeep this is not it. Not sure about its running condition as we took it for a debt and have not tried to start it. It has a clean title. It shows 21070 miles on the odometer not sure if those are original or not. Glass is good and it has a vacuum windshield wiper on the drivers side and a manual one on the passenger side.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $850. Pics added.
(11/19/2016) Seller believes this is a WWII jeep, but it is a 1947 CJ-2A, based on the serial tag.

“COME AND GET THE SET!IT RUNS!!!!!”

(10/20/2016) Runs, but windshield needs some work.
“’47 Willys for sale. Runs great! Hard top, rear window and doors are included but doors and rear window are not currently on it (see pics). Driver’s door has a manufacturers tag from Willys though I’m not sure who actually made it – I’m told Grumman made them during the war and for a little while after, but I haven’t researched it too much. Tires have been “slimed”. The windshield seems solid (even though it has a crack) but the frame supporting it does show considerable deterioration – needs to be replaced, I just haven’t had time. No title. Great hunting or ranch vehicle.”
http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/cto/5834131295.html
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6000.

It currently has front tires on the jeep and can somehow roll onto a trailer and then take tires off. I may be able to get buddy’s front loader.
When I used the rear axle it worked fine, so I assume the front axle is in good shape?? The front axle rolls fine”

Appears to have a DJ-3A grille.
“Selling jeep willy it is in perfect condition it runs great and has no leaks. With orginal flat head engine and stock gear with over drive good for offroad or just cruze down the beach.”
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb/cto/5879234452.html
Maybe some parts value? Has a SN plate indicating it is a 2A, but that’s all I can see.
“One of two:

This one does not have an engine but is complete otherwise.
Selling as is does not have a title.”
http://albuquerque.craigslist.org/cto/5879604578.html
My initial reaction was that this was pretty rough, but it might look more solid in person that in the pics. For example, the rear cargo area looks in good shape.
“Mostly original Jeep. Rebuilt engine and lots of other work done. Ready for off-road fun.”
