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 $4780.
(06/27/2011) There are a few mods, but it appears to be in good shape.
“1947 Jeep CJ 2A Willys Overland -New paint – New upholstery”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
I’m not sure what is on the back of this ….
“4 cyl ,New Motor, Low Miles,River Rat. and has a Duece 1/2 wrench on the front.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
Except for the rust along the passenger side, this appears pretty solid. I think the front frame rails and bumper are in good shape, too.
“For sale a nice used 47′ CJ-2a jeep. Running condition, everything works fine but the brakes could use a master cylinder. Body is in pretty nice original condition with the only damage being a rust spot on the passenger rear quarter, and the passenger floor has a plate of metal on the floor. The complete nose with windshield is excellent shape, as is the undamaged dashboard with all good gauges.
The frame is also very good shape, with the original bumper gussetts still intact, bolted to a homemade bumper that is easily removable. Rear drawbar is in perfect condition.
The axles appear to have been changed out by a previous owner to MB military units both front and back. You can see the military axle mount bellcrank not connected, as the 2a has a crossmember mounted bellcrank.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2200
(09/30/2011) No pics provided, but the body is supposed to be a little rough.

Both are projects.
“I have two Willys Jeeps for sale. One is a 1948 Willys Jeep Carry All and the other is a 1950 Willys Overland Jeepster Carry All. I have the titles to both. The 48′ has the original flat head 4 cylinder, but no transmission. The motor has been completely rebuilt, but never fired. The 50′ has no motor, but does have a transmission. Restoration was started, but never finished on both. Bodies are solid, with very little surface rust. They both have been stored in a shed, on concrete for the past several years. I am asking $5000 OBO, which is the price for BOTH.”
No pics provided.
“Great project. 1947 CJ-2A It is the first year of the civillian jeep. It has the F head 4 cylinder w/ low hrs. 3 spd. trans. Body is in fair shape some rust in tub below driver and passenger. This is definitely a project. Hasn’t run in many years. Was stored inside part of the time and covered outside the other. Transmission is out but all the parts plus a spare trans. and trasfer case are there. It doesn’t have a hard top or doors. With the exception of the F head it is all original. Would consider trading for a miller bobcat 225 or 250 portable welder”

This looks solid.
“1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep
Flat Head 4 cylinder, Transmission and 4 wheel drive system excellent working condition, was running well when last parked. Needs a bit of TLC to bring it back to solid running condition, but shouldn’t take much. Needs a fuel system run through, since it has been sitting for a year without regular use.
This is a great vehicle and should provide the new owner with many more great years of service or possible car show / parade candidate. Has an updated CJ3A windshield which is considerably more functional than the original 2A windshield.
Formerly used on regular basis on local Christmas Tree farm.
Registration and Bill of Sale provided.
2500.00 invested, will accept best offers.

(09/09/2009) It looks a little rough, but not too bad.

This CJ-2A runs and has a rear pto.
“FOR SALE: Complete and intact 1946 Jeep cj-2a, I have been chipping away on making this truck a sweet little plow truck for the last couple of months, and have collected a bunch of great parts to that end. I have a full hardtop for the truck, that is in great shape, and it has a set of hard doors included with it, that could use some work. I also have a complete manual plow setup that goes with it, that i removed from a 1975 cj-5, and it has everything – pump, hoses, control head, stainless control arms, mounting bracket, rams, chains, etc, and has most of the mounting frame, but im sure it will need some welding and some angle iron to attach it properly. The truck has previously been fitted with a stainless and shorter than normal windshield frame, so there is an easy to patch 1″ gap between the roof lip and the top of the windshield frame, and the windshield frame is set up to accept glass or plexiglass, lexan, etc.
The jeep engine runs well, and is a stock 6 volt system. it fires right up and has excellent oil pressure. the tcase and transmission levers are stiff, so i got a completely intact trans/tcase combo to repair if necessary on the bench. i have not gotten into either one, but in the past, I have filled cases with similar feel with Marvel Mystery oil, and they freed up and were serviceable and useable, and i feel that the setup in the jeep right now will be fine, i just got such a good deal on a batch of parts that i couldn’t turn it down. ALSO INCLUDED with jeep are all the parts i have for it: spare starter, spare distributor, intake and exhaust manifolds, two complete steering shaft and box assemblies, a KILLER custom made stainless fuel for under the seat, a stock junky underseat fuel tank, headlight buckets set, front and rear driveshafts, spare engine fan, i got a rear seat along the way, two front seats, a spare dashboard with all gauges, a spare grill, a tow bar setup that attaches to the front to enable easy transport (I was gonna tow it behind my M35a2), a spare cluth setup, a really nice for its age tailgate with nary a rust hole – but plenty of patina. The hood has been replaced already with an NOS part and it is solid. Did i mention the hardtop is in great shape? yes it is. I know im forgetting some things. Like a whole spare frame … and i have a set of 4 35” bfg muds on rockcrawler cj5x5.5 rims, that i can include and will fit with either a sawzall lift or a traditional spring lift. I do have the left front fender but it is not on the truck in the pictures. Oh yeah and a spare radiator.
This truck also has – intact and complete – a PTO setup built off the tcase, with a separate control lever, that drives a shaft that runs to the rear of vehicle and turns a large three belted pulley. It is all there and can be made to work. Four control levers throught the floor is a good look for a willys. The nameplates and tags on the dash that explain how things work and all are still there too. I have scraped off all excess rust, old paint, debri, etc, and painted the entire body with a rust reformer grey primer, kinda a naval appearance, it has kept the neighbors and girlfriend off my back about the appearance of it while i worked on other aspects… it went from being a “rusty pile” to “cute little jeep” almost overnight! and so when you pull it home on a trailer, it’s home-show ready, and will not offend the wife or anyone who just doesn’t get jeep culture. Although it will need some work (brakelines, lotsa grease, perhaps some body patching, weld on the plow frame, etc) to be the rig i know it can be”
UPDATE: This sold for $5500 to an ewillys reader.
It looks good, though the bumper is odd.
