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
This runs and drives.
“1947 Willys jeep. Curret registration and safety. Runs and drives great $2500 OBO.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2400
(08/25/2011) This hit something hard in the bumper … or something hit it.
“For sale are a restorable 1948 Willys Jeep and a 1947 Willys parts jeep, both of which have their own matching tags and MN titles. Frames on both are solid but the 1948 has some plates welded to the front bumper mounts and there is dent in the front bumper. Engine on the 1948 needs new piston rings but ran very well a couple years ago. The windshields will need to be replaced on both jeeps due to rust. The 1948 has a plow lift bracket on the rear bumper and the tailgate has been cut out so that it could be let down around the bracket (cut stops just below the Willys logo). The 1948 was also converted to a 12 volt system and has working headlights and heater fan (passenger side).”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1850
(09/09/2012) The price might be good depending on the work that needs to be done.
“Runs great
Manual transmission
Just needs a little work
4 wheel drive”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The sides have seen some body work.
“This 1947 Jeep Willys was purchased in 1986 and has no title. it does however have a colorado VIN inspection and was cleared. it can be titled in any state … just needs some paperwork done. the VIN inspection and a bill of sale which i will provide. it was used very little for hunting on private roads so it wasnt titled in colorado. it was a project my grandfather wanted to do 25 years ago. it runs great has a Buick V6 231. it has chevrolet steering. the brakes work … just need to be bled as it has been sitting in a shed for some years now but i have been running it and with some TLC it will be a very nice vehicle again. we have a spare tire for it but it was flat so it is at the repair shop now being fixed. buyer accepts responsibility for shipping or pick up. we deliver vehicles anywhere, $1.50 a loaded mile”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
DC correctly noted the headers are capped, meaning the exhaust is fed through alternative pipe to a muffler (probably). Dual outlet headers were available commercially for a while when you could still run an uncovered header.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $900.
(12/04/2012) This is a 1947 CJ-2A with the “Go-Devil” L4-134 engine. It was a project, but I ran out of time and money.
The engine is fully rebuilt and bored .080 over. The head was milled and the block was checked for cracks. Crankshaft was machined .030 under. It has new valves, guides, and hardened seats to run on unleaded gas. New rings, bearings, gaskets, seals, oil pump and more.
The Jeep has the tub, aluminum gas tank, radiator, intake and exhaust manifolds, and drivetrain. This would make a good project.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
This looks solid. The floorboards have been replaced.

“What i have here is 2 jeeps. the blue one is 95% complete and what is there is all original equipment. i had the engine turning over and sputtering along. right front spring is rusted away. it has a clear pennsylvania title with it. the tan one has the engine missing, but the rest of it is there. transfer case is assembled, transmission is in pieces. the title has been applied for but there is no guarantee on it arriving before sale date. between the 2 of them there is more than enough parts to restore 1 really nice jeep, and have a lot of parts left to sell, i have just run out of time. they are rough, but restoreable, and would make a great project for somebody that has the time or needs the parts. contact me with any questions”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8900
(11/04/2012) I’d like to see more pics of this. I wonder if it has VEC touches, too.
“Complete frame off restoration of a late 1945 early 1946 CJ2A. All matching numbers. Original engine.
6 volt system. 5 new original tires, tow bar, Bestop Tiger Top. Will consider trade for vehicle of equal
value.”
This has no title. I’m unclear why the gas inlet was modified. Note the header runs through part of the step area.
“This is a down to frame restoration, we kept everything as original as we could, repairing and restoring parts rather than purchasing new Chinese replacements. The wheels and tires of course are not original nor the bucket seats and headers. High and low range 4×4 work, the transmission we took completely apart and restored but 3rd gear slips out occasionally going down hill, a simple fix but I need to move on. I have some seat attachments and floor plates that need installed and I have a muffler for it, I just think it sounds better without it. You’ll need floor mats if you want them and the back seat This Jeep is completely road legal but I wouldn’t recommend pavement unless you put the original tires and wheels back on.”

UPDATE: Was $2500. **SOLD**
This might be a pretty stock jeep.
“My husband recently passed away of cancer and I need to sell this this 1948 Willy’s Jeep ASAP. I am asking 2500.00 OBO. It does great plowing snow as well as grading roads and making them smooth. It does burn a little oil If you are interested in taking this little jeep home”
This is a pretty stock jeep. Might make a good restoration project.

(10/19/2012) This may be worth a look. I love the looks of those Ford Flathead motors.
“I have a 1948 Willys CJ-2a that is in decent condition. The body is pretty sound, there are a few rusty spots here and there. The main area of concern is a few spots in the front toeboards. If you have the capability to weld, these repairs should be no big deal. Overall this Jeep is very fixable. The master cylinder and slave cylinder need to be rebuilt, and this thing could be drivable.
Someone retrofitted a late model Ford flathead v-8 motor into this thing many years ago. The motor runs excellent, and has 50 pounds of oil pressure. Clear title to the Willys. I can’t tell you anything more than what I wrote here, you’re going to have to assess the vehicle with your own two eyes in person.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
(11/15/2012) The step has been redone and this is missing a few details.

There may be some value here. According to a reader, “It was owned by his grandfather and left outside. Tub is gone but he doesn’t state how gone. A new front floor plan my be all it needs. Don’t know if it is locked up or not. No title.”

The price looks good. The pics are very small.
“I have 2 Willy’s jeep’s for sale. One is a ’42 which does not run but can be used for parts or as a project. It has all the running gear, front and rear axle, tranny and t-case, both drive lines, i do not have title for this jeep. The other jeep is a ’46 this jeep run’s i converted it to the 12 volt system with a new alternator, battery, coil, and resistor. It has new plugs, and wires, new clutch, throw out bearing, pilot bearing, pressure plate and re-surfaced fly wheel. It also has a new steel fuel tank and tie down strap, new 12 volt headlights, wiring, ignition switch and headlight switch.
