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: Was “make offer” **Status Unknown**
No full floating hubs and not an early windshield, so I doubt this is a 1945. It could be fairly early ’46.

It’s go an unusual windshield setup and a meaty rear bumper/carrier.
“1947 Willys for sale, this vehicle can climb a tree, needs a little TLC, it has the Hurricane engine, and Dana axles. With a little bit of work it would be great for hunting thats what my grandpa used it for and he passed it along to me. I still have the Original lead radiator and it is the 6 volt generator electrical system. I don’t have time to restore the thing so give me a call and we can work out a deal.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
If the tailgate is indicative of the rest of the jeeps, it make by rough.
“This is a 1946 Willys for sale. My elderly father put bad gas in it two years ago, and it has not run since. Interested give me a call and lets talk.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
(08/09/2014) This jeep is a mix of 2A and 1957 CJ-5 or 3B parts. More parts in a trailer. There seems to be some value here.
“1947 willys complete in pieces with pto driven winch. 1957 jeep rolling chassi tub is sitting on. motor has been rebuilt and was changed over to a 12 volt system. Rims with good tires,two roll bars and trailer full of all parts from 1947.”

“1948 JEEP WILLYS 1 OWNER
NICE OLDER JEEP THAT COULD BE
RESTORED VERY NICE OR DRIVE
LIKE IT IS . SET OF TIRES AND WHEELS
THAT CAME WITH JEEP NEW AND
HALF TOP . 100% OF THE MONEY GOES TO THE
VETERAN WHO OWNS THIS JEEP”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
I really like the red top on this jeep.
“This jeep came from South Dakota in 2000 and was totally disassembled and rebuilt with the best paints and parts available.
The wiring came from Vintage Wiring , correct original wiring.
The body was reassembled using s. s. nuts and bolts.
Original top bows and new Red Sunbrella top created as original, top can be full or half cab. No doors or side curtains .(as pictured)
The wheels have optional s. s. trim rings.
The lockout hubs are first generation Kelly hubs.
The jeep has the latest Advance Adapters Overdrive.
The jeep is mechanically sound and drives very well down the road.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
It’s a nice looking flattie and it’s serial number is early, but the lack of VEC details reduces the importance of its early roots.
“This is one of the first 1,000 civilian Jeeps made in 1945. Serial number is 10984, making it the 984th or 983rd Jeep made, depending on which source you read. (Some articles state the serial number began at 10,000 and others state it began with 10,001.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(09/11/2014) Needs some work.
“I’m selling my Willys CJ-2A because I can’t afford multiple projects right now. It’s a great little rig, but needs a little TLC. Motor is an early 70’s ford V6, currently runs but has a flat spot in the throttle. I’m guessing it’s a vacuum leak somewhere. brand new carb installed recently. As well as a new battery. Price is negotiable. Trades welcome. Looking for a boat or a reliable pick up.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500
Was part a May estate sale. It didn’t sell, so it’s up for sale again.
“We have a Jeep for sale at our Estate Sale this week end,
We jump started the jeep and it runs, but battery will not hold a charge. Needs a new battery
Perfect Jeep that will take a little to get it road ready, Great investment and lots of fun when done.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4795.
It’s got some hat channel issues, but runs and drives. No title.
“WILLYS CJ2A MILITARY CLONE. 1940-52 MODEL NO VIN OR SERIAL NUMBER SO I CANT SAY YEAR FOR SURE. RUNS AND DRIVES SOLD AS IS WHERE IS. BILL OF SALE NO TITLE NO TRADES CASH IN HAND ONLY. “
Looks like some value here.
“I have the remnants of a Willys Jeep CJ2A that was equipped with the Monroe 3point hitch. The Monroe 3point hitch was a popular item post-war and was used to make surplus military Jeeps like the MB and GPW more usable for farmers. Hitches were also marketed to CJ2A ad CJ3B users.
Obviously there isn’t a lot left here. That’s why it’s cheap. The upper leg mount has been torched off and the Jeep’s been in the elements for a long time.
I have a skid steer so we can easily load this on your trailer.”
http://atlanta.craigslist.org/eat/cto/4671883541.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Seller notes this is all original except for the seats. As you can see, the body, the bumpers and windshield are incorrect.
“47 Willy’s jeep daily driver current tags always registered never non opd. Clean title been In family for 30 years as grandpas hunting jeep. Before that it was in our nebors barn for at least 10 years I know of, so it has not been left in weather for 40 + years. (Except for deer season of course) turn key ready for cruise nite or hunting. All 5 tires in excellent shape no wether cracks. It was converted to 12 volt prior to us. Except for bucket seats its all ooriginal.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
It’s a project.
“We purchased as a project 3 years ago and haven’t made any progress. Ran when parked, haven’t started in 2 years. New clutch, needs brake work. We’d rather someone else restore it than see it waste away. “
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
May be some value here. I’m sure the frame is solid, but ‘beautiful’??
“Ran good when parked. Body is pretty solid. Beautiful frame and low miles on drivetrain. Two lever trancsfercase. No time for project so selling.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
(07/24/2014) Motor needs overhaul.
“Great Project vehicle to restore, 1948 Jeep Willys, working up till a couple of years ago. Needs motor overhaul. Has new clutch, one new front drive shaft. Have new master cylinder part.“
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500.
(01/24/2014) This looks pretty good, but the dress is covering quite a bit of the jeep.
“We are selling our 1948 Willys CJ2A. It runs very well and looks great! Every time we take it for a ride we get many waves and “thumbs up”. It was restored about thirteen years ago and won best in show last year at Berlins Drive in the 50’s car show. We just don’t have the time to enjoy it like we used to. This is a GREAT old Jeep! Thanks for looking.
