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 .
If this has been garage kept, the body might be pretty sound.

(02/13/2015) Runs and drives. Could be a good price. Needs fuel pump.
“1946 Willy’s jeep for sale I’ve had this jeep for over 20 years and I don’t do anything with it anymore I’d just rather see it get used runs and drives still has the original flat head in it. The motor and rear end were rebuild in 2003 probably haven’t driven it 150 miles on the farm since then. Body is dinged up has some rust but still drives. The fuel pump went out due to it sitting in the barn so I have a electric one on it at the moment. Do not know where the title is at the moment if i have to get one for you it will take the full asking price plus lost title fees.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
(01/08/2014) “Own a piece of history. This is one of the original Jeeps. This is what the Wrangler and the CJ7 and CJ5 were created from.

Also, comes with a Factory Service Manual”
There seems to be value here.

(09/2/2013) That front bumper and frame rails (former service station jeep?) looks bent downward some.

It has a GPW frame, but some CJ parts.
“Ok, so a 1945 willys jeep. She is in rough shape, but perfect for rebuilding or making that hot rod you always wanted. It has a GPW frame made by ford, meaning its a WII frame, and a CJ2A body(civilian) model. Motor is in good shape and spins freely. As you can see i have already torn her down for rebuild, and i have the Manuel. I also have a clean TX title. Let me no. Nothing like having a piece of history in your garage! Asking 2500. Frame is rare folks, priced to sell quick! ”

“Not needing to sell just throwing it out there to see if anyone is interested. It has a ford v8 not sure what size motor. The jeep runs and drives 4×4 works good. I just bought this and I am doing work on it so I can use it as a toy. If you might be interested let me know before I put too much work into it.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/01/2014) Not sure if this is a 2A or a 3A.
“This is (as registered) a 1951 Jeep Willys CJ-2a 4×4. It has a buick V6, 3spd tran, dana 25 and dana 27 running gear. I put a new wiring harness, gauges, LED brake and turn lights, new seat coverings and a por-15 paint job. Included is the tire carrier, spare tire, two gas cans, all spare parts, paint and the rifle rack in the middle. This jeep was used for hunting and is extremely reliable but it also looks good to drive into town. It is currently registered (Nov 2015). You can either drive it home (45-50 mph and a 5 gallon gas tank) or tow it home behind your tow vehicle.
I have seen the other Willys for sale on Craigslist and know that the $3600 for a fully running, registered and reliable Willys is priced to sell. Cash only, no shipping, no trades. Email to set an appointment time. Thank you.”

(12/06/2014) Solid militarized CJ-2A.
“This is a hybrid Willys CJ2A body and chassis, with an MB front end, with correct military accessories, and correct WWII Olive Drab green paint, made to match that of the WWII Willy’s MB. Ready to drive. It cold starts first try every time, runs smooth and drives straight. Converted to 12 Volt system. 4 wheel drive is fully operational. 8,000 miles on original 4 cylinder L head Go-Devil engine. 3 speed – T-90 Transmission. 5 brand new military style tires. Always garaged. The body has been restored, minor rust on frame. Includes PTO winch on front end, which is operational but does not have a cable. Comes with authentic soft top from a Ford GPW. Locations of choke and throttle do not match that of an MB, but can be moved to correct locations. Includes spare cylinder head, all gaskets necessary for an engine overhaul, brand new spare Solex Carburetor, new spare intake and exhaust manifolds and gaskets. This jeep is more reliable than my daily driver; I really don’t want to let it go and know I will regret it when it’s gone so come get it before I change my mind. ”
No pics provided.
“1947 Jeep Willys CJ2-A project or parts for sale ($2500 OBO). I have most everything but the body. I started this project over 10 years ago and time/space/money just haven’t been on my side. The body was trashed when I got it and has unfortunately been disposed of. I have the windshield frame, tailgate and front seat frames. I have the motor and transmission and all of the drive-train. I have a new front left axle shaft, 4 brand new tires and tubes, 4 original rims and a couple of mis-matched spares (most have been sand-blasted), a nearly complete bearing kit and many other components needed for the rebuild. I do own the original “Jeep” stamped hood, but I do not have it at my location. I am unsure if I ever had the title, but I will scour all of my records for it. I am very sad to give this up, but it is time.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2500.
(02/05/2015) The engine runs, but jeep needs work.
“Good running jeep,4WD works,original Go-devil flathead 4,has good power,probably been rebuilt but have no papers to prove it,needs tires,and some tlc,tub has some minor rust through but not bad for an almost 70 year old jeep.I’d prefer to sell but would entertain a trade for a good diesel compact tractor or a pre 49 truck,or maybe a nice vintage boat,just ask the worst I can say is no.”
