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 $2700
(03/04/2012) Fully restored?
“Fully restored. Custom bucket seats diamond plate floors runs good”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This ad was forwarded by Marc. The seller indicates the “Front 1946 Tag is not included in auction” (very end of description). I’m not sure what that means.
“You are bidding on a restored CJ2A, I have owned this Willys since 2003/2004. I purchased it, drove it about four months; took it apart and cleaned, painted, replaced, busted knuckles, said things I thought I would never say, etc. I finished up about four years ago and have been driving and adding things here and there. I only have put about 100-150 miles on this thing a year, I drive it to the hardware store, to get a haircut, and to work. Since I have had this Willys it has never been in the mud, rain one time (got caught out), never driven on salty winter roads here in the east (have drove in the snow in the field and woods behind the house, goes great) I really hate to sell, but it must go. Below is a list of the stuff I have done, I’m sure I have forgotten some things. I have done everything but the engine rebuild, I had it hired out. I have hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars in this Willys
This Willys runs and drives great, always starts the first time. It has been very dependable
Its not restored for a showroom with everything correct, its done to drive and use.
I have more Pics, request by contacting me. If you want a pic of something let me know I’ll take it.
Feel free to ask any questions
Here is a video link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66z0qdcHllE pulling a trailer load of brush, two-wheel drive, low range.
The body was completely stripped down (body removed from tub) / sand blasted primed with 3 coats of PPG epoxy primer, no body work has been done (there is no filler/bondo/etc. on the body just black primmer)
Original Meyers Half Cab, never painted in original primmer, has original Meyers Sicker. I uncrated this top when purchased. Shown in pics all installed (during summer months I remove the doors and rear glass section, makes something like a bikini top, keeps the sun off your neck)
Original Warn Overdrive Unit (WARN Shift Knob), Works Great – installed with the hard to find/expensive adapter so that the front PTO can be used.
Koenig Front PTO with Winch, Works great removed cable to install winch rope, just haven’t got around to it. (needs break arm, can still use without)
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
This includes a drum pulley.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
This looks like a parts jeep.
“I decided that I had to sell one of my projects, so that I can continue working on my other one.She has a good solid frame with Dana 25 and 41 front and rear axles, tires and rims, windshield, and hood. The tub is in pretty good condition, alittle rust here and there typical for an jeep this old, the front floor panel has already been removed. Sorry there is NO Engine or Transmission and the two front fenders are missing. There are no VIN tags or Title, but I will give Bill of sale. Please email me – Richard – if interested.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200
(04/16/2013) It needs a little work, but appears solid. I can’t tell if that’s a sticker on the hood or painted.
“Time to sell my Jeep, havent used it in 3 years and dont have time to finish/fix the little things. Alot has been done and it is very close to being a daily driver. Has a 2.8 ford v-6 mated to original transmission with a hydraulic clutch, upgraded brakes to 11″ wagoneer brakes with master cyl. crossover manual steering with a GM tilt column (key has been shaved off of column) Has LED lighting all hooked to column correctly.

Thank You-also looking for car trailer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500
It appears solid. I’m wondering which data plates those are on the dash. The aren’t from a ’47. Maybe repros without a number.
“Need to sell ASAP! Restored 8 years ago. You will get the looks driving this down the road!! Email with questions. does not come with military gear shown in pictures”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
This is a project.
“I have a non running 1947 Willys CJ2A Jeep for sale. It hasn’t ran in 15 or more years, but ran when parked. Motor will turn over by hand. Body is in pretty good condition for it’s age. Also have an extra Willys hood, 5 steel original wheels that appear to be in pretty good condition. Jeep still has original glass parking light lenses and other original parts, windshield frame appears to be in good condition with the exception of moderate rust at bottom of glass, glass is cracked. It’s been sitting outside and is full of leaves. 2 spark plugs broke when I attempted to remove them (to spray oil in cylinders prior to turning motor over). I have not attempted to remove the plugs with anything, they might come out fine with some penetrating oil. Jeep will need work to get running again, but all parts are there and engine compartment is pretty clean. Will make a great deer lease ride. I took this Jeep in trade, but have realized that I will never get around to fixing it up. $1200 cash.
No pics provided.

“runs and drives good. new clutch. rhino coated floors. few body issues. lights work. recent tires. does have current title”
UPDATE: Was $900. **SOLD**
This is supposed to have a good body.
“I have for sale an early Willys CJ2A. No title, doesn’t run, but has a super nice body, frame, etc. plus a rarely seen factory metal top. These 2A’s usually have the body eaten up with rust, everywhere but the desert southwest, but this is an exception. Would like to sell it just like it sits, but would consider parting, depending on what you need.”
This was forwarded by Marc.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000
(05/05/2013) I’m gonna guess that ‘it may need brake work’ means ‘it definitely needs brake work’.
“1947 CJ-2A. it is running. may need brake work. only serious buyers.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
(05/02/2013) This jeep has been disassembled.
“I have a 1948 CJ-2A very well used. I bought it about a year ago and when I got it stripped down it was more than I wanted to take on right now. The pictures are from when I bought it — it has totally been stripped but can still be towed with the A-Frame in the front. I did get the engine running before I stripped it. Vehicle is sold as is with no title.”
