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 $1200
There appears to be value here.
“I bought this old Jeep a while back and was never able to get the title to it so I’m moving on. It is a pretty solid old Willys with original drivetrain in it. Not running but not locked up either. Original gas tank is missing and looks like it was running on a boat gas tank sitting in the rear of the Jeep. It has a vehicle ID number and Jefferson City has no record of it on file.
I paid $1200 and that’s what I need to get, no less.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
(11/24/2013) Looks pretty rough.
“1946 Willys Jeep. Owned since 1984. Kept on farm to use as a farm vehicle up until 4 years ago. Parked it and haven’t used it since. Ran great when I turned it off. Just don’t need it anymore and don’t want to let it deteriorate any longer. Bought new frame for it five years ago when I was going to restore it. Great for restoration. Need pictures let me know. $1200 FIRM.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** The CJ-2A was $1300. The CJ-3B was $3500. “This is a 1946 Willys jeep 4×4, farm edition with a pto on the rear with a rare hard top, 4cly with a 4 speed and a twin stick transfer case . We tried to start it but it would not fire. We figured out there was no spark coming from the coil and due to bad weather we have not messed with it since. Vehicle has many coats of paint and surface rust but not many holes, in pretty good shape for age of vehicle.”
The CJ-2A:
THE CJ-3B:
“This is a rare 1952 Willys jeep cj3b high top, it has a 6cyl hurricane engine with a 4speed with a twin stick transfer case.It has a new body, hard top and a roll cage, rebuilt motor new glass new 31” tires new suspension. Almost everything on this vehicle has been replaced with a new part. We tried to start it but it would not fire. We figured out there was no spark coming from the coil and due to bad weather we have not messed with it since.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700.

“Have a few things to sell and would like to let go as a package.
First is the blue 47 Willys. Runs well, 4 wheel drive works, breaks work, re-upholstered front seat s on original frames, later model rear seat. Currently have Jeepster rims on it with good tread but have original rims with 6.50-16 tires. Body had bondo on it and there is fatigue in other places. Enough to work with if you want.
Next is a green 47 Willys that runs and 4 wheel drive works. Engine is worn but doesn’t smoke, breaks work as I had replaced all line and cylinders over the years. Original seat frames front and rear.
Have a spare engine block minus intake/exhaust manifold and other miscellaneous parts.
Last is an Artic Top that needs glass and rubber and door latches. These were used by the military in the Artic as it is Aluminum with foam rubber inside for insulation.
All a good deal for someone interested in working with them.”

UPDATE: Marc pointed out that the serial number of 451 GB1 28496 would make this a CJ-3A. More about CJ-3A serial numbers.
It doesn’t run and has no title. The bracket on the fender is unusual.
“This vintage 1948 Willys jeep is a GREAT buy. It does run. My father and I bought it to fix it up and make it a project but we have made different plans and are now wanting to sell it.

Does need work on the engine and know very little of the specifics of the vehicle.Has only ever been drove on trails for hunting. Just needs to be restored. Come by and see how you like it!

(04/17/2012) Given the later model axles, there may be some parts value here, but not a whole jeep.
“his jeep has been my project for several years but I just don’t have the money to finish it and I don’t think I will any time soon. It has a complete body and I have alot of parts I have collected for it over the years. The body is complete but not all the body parts are on it in the picture It has a transmission (non PTO) but no engine. It has the usual rust problems and the frame is no good but I have an extra frame as well as later model axles and springs that are heavier than the stock ones. I would like to get around 700 or 800 but feel free to make me an offer. All the stuff I have for it is worth about 400-500 just in scrap weight and the parts are probably worth over 700 but I don’t want to part it out. I would like to see it go to someone who w ill be able to finish it. I can send pics opon request. ”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $900.
(01/12/2014) It says there is a rear PTO, but I don’t see the unit on the back.

(11/18/2013) “I have a 1948 willys cj2a for sale. I have had it for a couple years and been fixing it up to run around in, but don’t drive it that often.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer
“Alright CL, up for sale is my ’49 CJ2A. It’s got a 4 cylinder flat head and 3 speed tranny. Little background, I was given this by my grandfather a few years ago before he died, I had the intentions on making it a project for myself, but it’s just gonna take too long for me. It’s a restoration, not a project. Before I was given it he primarily used it around the property, my uncle told me he rebuilt the motor and tranny a few years before it was given to me. It doesn’t run now as i let it sit, i’m sure with new plugs, a carb cleaning and some fresh gas it will though. I always loved this thing so I’m not gonna let it go for dirt cheap, they’re not too easy to come by, but I also know it’s no museum peace,the body is pretty bad. Frame is surprisingly decent. No seats or seat brackets, when i first got it the seats were shot so I cut them out and planned on welding in new brackets for larger seats, but never did. It was always in a carport until last year when the snow destroyed it. Now it has multiple tarps over it. Look up what these go for, and make an offer.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. No price.
Engine needs work.
