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 .

(08/05/2014) Looks solid.
“I have a 48 willys jeep with a ford 302 v8 rust free tub outta California everything works very well 3 speed tranny with spicer transfer case”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800.
(10/15/2012) Appears worth a look at this price.
“I have a 1948 Willys Cj2A. It has an enclosed metal cab(koenig). It is a 4 cylinder, 3 speed, 4wd. Starts and drives, excellent machinical condition. Does not have a heater. Speedometer glass is missing. The plow works. Some holes in floor and frame cracks as noted in pictures. It is running off of a aux. fuel tank in the bed. Four extra mounted tires included.”
UPDATE: Was $6000. **SOLD**
(06/21/2013) Looks like a solid jeep.
“Completely rebuilt Ford OH valve 4 cyl. engine; 5 (five) miles on it. Tilt leather steering wheel. Title, licensed to 2015. Two tops included. Completely gone through. $8K in receipts for lots of work (2013). $14K invested. Selling for $6,000.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
A variety of repairs have been done to this 2A.
“90% Restored. Includes new floor, under braces, brakes, shocks, gas tank, wiring, and much more… Was running well. Been in storage for 7 months. Comes with extra wheel rims (see picture). For sale as is. You haul. Best offer accepted. Clear title. Serious inquiries only.”
There’s value here.
“Engine was pulled in 1988-1990 for a rebuild and never made it back in. As far as I know, the trans/axles are still in good working condition, just have been sitting covered in the driveway since then. Frame has some serious rust issues around the front leaf spring rear mount. Hubs turn freely, as does the input shaft of the trans.
Pulled the body off this week as I am building a new frame from 2×3″ and dropping in a fuel injected 2.3 Ford/m5od and a set of YJ axles, so it’s better if I just start fresh.“

Mark posted this no-researve auction ad at warjeeps.com. The auction takes place September 20th in Cedar Bluff, Virginia. I didn’t see pics of the 1941 parts jeep.

I’m confused about the prices. In the title the price reads “$4000”, but in the text the prices are different.
“Two Jeeps:
1947 CJ2A – New Trans and Transfer case, and front axle gears. Runs great: $3900
1956 CJ5 – With hunting tower and PTO Winch. Runs great! $4500”
http://austin.craigslist.org/snw/4624185571.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Looks solid. It’s got the wrong grille for a ’46, but that’s minor.
“Own a piece of postwar history! This restored CJ2-A is ready to parade the streets of your neighborhood. I have been the curator of this rolling museum for over a decade and due to some recent life changes, it is now time to pass the baton. As with any old Jeep there is always something to tinker with; but this Willys is road ready. Please call or text with questions. Thank you for looking.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Seller’s description looks thorough.
“Up for auction is a 1948 Willys CJ2A “Universal” Jeep. It starts every time with a simple pull on the choke and a twist of the key, even after sitting for months and moves on down the road like it should. This is a joy to take for a ride and always turns heads and gets honks and waves. The only reason I am letting it go is I need the garage space and I couldn’t abide keeping it outdoors, even for a night.
When I purchased it from the family of the original owner recently, the vehicle had undergone an almost complete restoration including painting of the body, frame and motor, replacement of the wiring harness, new vinyl on the seats and new rubber on the wheels. It retains its original motor and transmission. Additionally an overdrive kit was added. It was repainted in its original Luzon Red with Universal Beige trim.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $400.
(05/05/2014) Clutch needs replacing.
“Probably restorable but not by me. Just put a new head gasket in…good compressoin now. That was one of the reasons I parked it 2yrs ago, the other reason was the clutch and that still needs to be replaced. Rubber is good enough to tow someplace close.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3300.
Looks like the seller was testing paint schemes on the windshield frame?
“Hunters special! Starts right up, runs great, original jeep 4 cylinder.
Includes new bikini top and tow bar. Heavy duty winch.”
There’s some value here. Neither project runs.
“I am selling two early CJ2A projects with a ton of extra parts. There is enough parts to build both jeeps and have extras left over. I have a rebuilt Buick V6 with the adaptors and motor mounts that cost me almost as much as I am asking for both jeeps. There are titles for both. One has the PTO on the trans. One is an early column shift. There are extra hoods, fenders, tailgates and more. One has the frame for a soft top, and one has an aluminum hard top with doors. As you can see in the pics, these are projects that do not run. Willing to consider trades.”

UPDATE: Price now $5200.
(06/19/2014) This jeep has one of the more unusual F-bumps.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
“New upholstery and bikini top. Complete tune up, all original parts in motor
4cylinder 6 volt. Motor has been overhauled.”
Anyone recognize that winch? Looks like it might be a winch/compresser combo?

Brakes aren’t working. Looks like it’s got a tall lift. Given the price, it’s worth a look.

Runs and drives. Interesting stripe scheme.

(06/07/2014) Looks nice.
“48 Willys CJ 2A. Runs good. Just went through the complete braking system. Oil just changed and new seat belts added. Tires are in good shape 32 x 11.50 x 15 BFG’s. Body and frame show great for this old of a jeep. It has a 4 cylinder Iron Duke motor. Cranks every time the first time. 3 speed manual transmission.
Comes with soft top shown in pictures. Currently has the summer bikini top on it.
This was kept in a garage for many years. I bought it as a new fun project and have made it road worthy but don’t have the time to follow through with restoration. This is a fun jeep to drive around town.”
Lots of work done, but still needs a body at the very least.
“This is a 47 Willys Jeep CJ2A that is about 90% restored. The original Flat 4 has been rebuilt. The original Trany and transfer case are rebuilt with all new gears. The front and rear differentials have not, but been checked and are in great shape. The frame has been professionally straightened and powder coated. New shocks, new leaf spring shackles, new steering hardware and linkages, so many new items to list that have been installed or they are seating on the shelf (have receipts). I have the body for the frame that is in the picture but it has seen better days. I have the fenders, tailgate, split windshield (glass needs to replaced), both front seats (need a backseat), hood, front grill. All this jeep needs are just a couple of things to put it back together. The hard part is done!!! The reason I am selling this jeep is because I bought my dream car and going to restore it instead. For those who know about this old classic flat fender jeep buying it for 5000 is a great deal.”

Another 1948 Package Delivery Van, except this is the California Body version. Compare it to Jesse’s version.
“Will sell all of my Jeeps for the low price of $10,000 (Firm) which takes into consideration that there are issues, minor to major with all 3. Do Not let this scare you off. This is a screaming Deal for what I have and definitely warrants the expenditure of some time to come and look if you are a serious Jeep buyer! 1. 1947 CJ2 2. 1951 Jeep pickup 3. 1948 Willys Overland Parcel Delivery (PD) Quite Rare! First two run and the PD was driven from San Francisco to Paynes Creek 18 years ago and has not been started since. It has the 4 cylinder flathead engine and the other two are F Heads. The 1947 has an F head that is a transplant out of a 1953 jeep station wagon. I will entertain the idea of parceling them out. I do not answer TEXT messages, If you wish to communicate with me you must respond to the Craig’s List email platform with your phone number and your first name and I will get back to you shortly. I can provide more pictures by request.”
