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 $2000.
I’m gonna guess that was a VEC CJ-2A body. It’s rough.
“1956 Willy’s Jeep. Has all the parts on it, except the steering wheel. Would be a great project, motor needs to be gone through. Bought it for $3,000 for my son, he went with a truck instead now I need it gone. Willing to take a lose on it, $2,000 is a great deal.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2100
(03/01/2013) “41 willys cj2a 4cyl f head 3spd the clutch slips sometimes but the engine runs great ”
Seller is unsure of the value.
“I have two 1946 willys jeeps i would like to sell. One jeep runs the other doesn’t my original plans were to restore the one that runs with parts from the other.

The seller claims the only body mod is the hood scoop, but the drain hole has been filled and the bow holders removed. I’m only being picky, because the seller wants a lot for it. This does have the square bow holder windshield brackets, three data plates, and the full floating rears. This must have been a really early VEC. It only has 1 hood latch.
“THIS MOSTLY ORIGINAL JEEP FEATURES AN UPGRADED, LATER MODEL JEEP 4 CYLINDER OHV ENGINE IN PLACE OF ITS ORIGINAL “GO DEVIL” FLAT 4. THE MORE POWERFUL ENGINE CAME WITH AN IMPROVED CARBURETOR ( REQUIRING A HOOD SCOOP-ITS ONLY BODY MOD). THE RED EXTERIOR BODY IS ALL ORIGINAL.

This might be a time capsule.
“1947 Willys Jeep CJ2a, civilian model, all original motor and running gear. Only $3000.00”
It doesn’t include the winch, but the winch is the focus of the picture . . .
“I have a 1947 flatfender “original” Willy’s Jeep, except of course for the engine it’s a 64′ 4 cylinder engine. The winch nor the white top doesn’t come with the Jeep. Looking to sell or trade, if it’s a vehicle you’re offering it’s would have to be made 50-state legal before it changes owners. I’m open to as old as 1992 with cash on your end, 2000 year model would be a fair trade. less then 150K miles. Please include picture of offer so I know you’re serious…”

One runs and drives.
“I have three jeeps. One does run and I have been driving it around my property. It has the flathead, rebuilt carb, new fuel pump, it runs good and does not burn oil.

(03/17/2013) The body appears to be a replacement. For some reason, it’s dented near the top of the dash. I’ve never seen that. It’s a no reserve auction starting at $200.
“1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A
Titled as a 1951 (Can not guarantee the exact year) See the Vin number on the photo of the title. Might be able to look it up in a registry.
This Jeep was bought as a project about 10 years ago and do not have room to store it any longer. It has been sitting in California for the last 10 year. Purchased from a Farm in the Midwest. It sat in the barn untouched for 30 years. Was running 10 years ago but is not currently running now. Might just need a battery and a tune up to get it running. Brakes are bad and needs a full restoration. Would be a great project car as it has really good bones. There is some rust on the exterior and on the undercarriage but not that bad. Body is pretty straight.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
This looks good.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2400.
(12/23/2012) It’s a pretty pricey project. The paperwork is missing, too.
“This is a 1949 Willy’s Jeep CJ2A. 4 Cylinder Flat, Engine was rebuild in 2002 (never driven since). The jeep is a nearly completed project with many original parts.
The following work has been done and up-front, I am a certified welder, metal fabrication journeyman / Blacksmith from Germany.
– Rebuild floor with proper tube- frame
– Rebuild bed with proper tube- frame
– Rebuild foldable Windshield, new glass and seals
– Built a 20 gal gas tank that goes across the entire jeep with barriers inside to avoid slushing. (toolbox from passenger seat was beyond repairs)
– Built Seat-mounts and purchased new Seats
– Custom Heavy Duty Bumpers
– Re-arched all four Leaf-springs
– Replaced all four shocks
– Lots of body work
New seats with heavy duty mounts. Custom bumpers front and back. Rebuild steering gear box. (still a huge play) Reinforcement and accentuation with diamond plate.
Repaired and reinforced frame where needed. Rebuild all four leaf springs to proper hight and arch. 4 new shocks, new wiper and rear lights. I have 4 fairly new rims that would replace the ones currently on the Jeep.
The Engine would start fine if a mechanic would spend an hour with it, since I have never touched it in 8 years. I also do not have paperwork for the Jeep anymore. I would be more than happy to pay the DMV fee for re-registration once the Jeep is sold.
I am selling this nice project Jeep, simply because I bought that prior to having Children and a House. I simply do not want to spend the time on something I would rarely use.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
The body has been stretched in the middle.

“This Jeep has recently been completed after a long restoration. The aftermarket replacement body is approx. 25 years old-brand unknown, but fits well, The fenders, hood, windshield frame, and tailgate are OE pieces. The excellent original frame was blasted and painted, the body is painted top and bottom. The entire driveline has been rebuilt professionally (engine, trans, transfer case, axles, and overdrive unit). This Jeep runs and drives as new. The steering is straight and true, the geartrain is quiet, and there are no squeeks or rattles. The only mileage put on it was for setup and testing. It has a reman warn overdrive unit with an un-used PTO attached. I encourage bidders to come see this Willys before bidding, it is an excellent original-type unmodified Jeep.
Here is a list of new and remanufactured parts that have built the Jeep.
New: Belts and hoses, voltage regulator, steering linkage, gauges, tailgate chains, all new braking system, axles and bearings, all 5 Denman 6.00-16 tires with tubes, seat foam and upholstery, Walck’s wiring harness, fuel pump, tail light and reflector, rearview mirror, wiper motor and arm, air filter assembly, brake and fuel lines, and clutch.
Remanufactured: Engine, transmission, transfer case, Warn overdrive, PTO unit, generator, starter, carburetor, and steering gearbox”
