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 $2500.
“1949 Willys Jeep CJ2A. Original flathead 4 Cylinder. Runs good, new carb, fuel pump, gas tank, plugs, wires and lots of other stuff. Just don’t have time to drive it anymore. This is a solid Jeep that would be an excellent restore or do nothing to it and have a great hunting rig. $3500.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
I’m wondering if this is actually a CJ-3A.
“Better than a four wheeler, cheaper that a side by side. Needs a windshield and a battery. Comes with a new soft top. Great for hunting season or beer runs. It was my grandpas but I need the money. Pretty original, no real rust to speak of. Make an offer.”
This appears sprungover.
“Willy’s jeep – 30x95x15 BFG’s. 95% tread. Runs good, good for hunting, playing or for parts.”

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $2000
Looks like a parts jeep.
“I have 48 CJ-2A for sale. Original motor, and drivetrain. The body was swapped for a military body at some point, a box was also welded to the rear for more room. This is a huge project, I always wanted to do it but have moved and need to sell. The VIN plate has long been lost so a bonded title would need to be obtained once the vehicle was brought back to running.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000
(09/26/2013) This apears to be in good shape.
“1946 Willys Jeep cj-2a. Nice Jeep just sitting in my garage collecting dust. Painted Chevrolet medium green about 10 years ago. Seats out of a Toyota celica custom fitted at the same time.

New master cylinder was installed a couple of years ago and never got fully bled. $6000.00 or possible trade. boats, bikes, hotrods, trucks??? what do you have?”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,500
(09/07/2013) This great looking 2A is almost early enough to be a VEC.

This is an all original, numbers matching jeep. It was a barn find, purchased by my father in 2005, from Eastern Washington. He has completed a full frame-off restoration on this project. It is his third completed project (has restored a CJ3B & M38A1 as well) and he is looking to sell in order to free up space for another build. Jeep’s restoration was completed over 4 years.

This might have been used by the military for a short time (based on the seller’s comment).
