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 .
The body appears okay.

“LOOKING FOR TRADES: currently looking at the market on trading my jeep. It is a 1948 CJ2A with 3 speed transmission with Saturn overdrive. In the recent years (and how I acquired it) it had a heart transplant from a 1966 Ford Mustang. It is a 289 Ford small block V8. It runs and drives! She’s a head turner for sure! Has a new fuel pump, and I have an OEM data plate, shocks for all 4 wheels as well as a transmission and transfer case gasket kit on the way from Kaiser Willys. Looking to trade for a VW bug, or anything older VW running and driving like mine. NOT LOOKING TO SELL”
Might be worth a look.

(10/26/2021) Lot of original jeep here. It doesn’t run.
Up for sale is a very complete original 1946 CJ2A. I will start off saying that it does not currently run but would not take much work to get it running. All of the correct original drivetrain is there and in good shape. I believe the transmission and transfer case will most likely need to be gone through. The rear driveshaft and emergency brake drum assembly are currently out of it as the previous owner was fixing a seal in the transfer case. But this Jeep is a true barn find and has not been messed with besides the one paint job it had over its original harvest tan and the addition of the incorrect tail lights.
It still has whats left of the original fabric on the drivers seat, early short side view mirror, 16” motor wheels, and all but one of its data tags (small body tag on the firewall). This is a 3 tag CJ2A so it is technically an EC or early civilian. This was one of the first floor shift Jeeps after they switched from column shift. The frame is in very good shape. The sheet metal is in good shape but the tub will definitely need some repairs including the front floors, tool box and parts of the rear floor. I believe it would be an excellent candidate for restoration as everything is there and in usable shape. It would also be neat to get it running and drive it just like it is. I just have too many projects right now and don’t have the time to give this jeep the attention it deserves. It will be sold with a bill of sale only, it does not have a title. I am asking $4800. It is located in Westbrook Connecticut.
Looks like a good price, though the front floors have been patched. The Beck hardtop looks in good shape.

” 1947 Willys CJ2A. 4WD A survivor. With steel cab, side mounted spare tire, Reese Hitch on back. 4 cylinder Willys engine. Seat belts, hand rails and steps added for convenience & safety. Starts & runs good. Not a Wrangler – but FB forced me to pick a similar model.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.

“1946 willies jeep 4 x 4 with a six cylinder engine, needs gas tank, tires. My dad bought this for restoration but due to health issues he’s not going to be able to do it. It will need a salvage title but would make an excellent project. He wanted to restore to the World War Two era.”
The seller listed the 2A as a ’46, but the serial number 90815 indicates this is a 1947. The CJ-2A has an f-head, while the CJ-3A is disassembled.
