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.
“for sale a 1948 willys jeep. Runs and drives. Has original flathead 4 cylinder and 3 speed transmission. It has had disk brakes put on the front axle in place of the drums. Not too rusty. $2000 or best offer.”
“Hey, I have a 48 willys CJ2A I need a new front leaf spring for. I would like to buy them in a pair but I would take a single pack if thats what I can find. From what I can find they are all a 7 leaf pack from 1946-1964 and they will all fit”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
This was on ebay, but the bidding was cancelled. I thought it was an interest approach to building a jeeprod. Both the body and frame are home built.
“You are bidding on a 1947 Jeep Streetrod with a homebuilt frame and body. It has a speedway front suspension, with a 4-link coil over rear suspension. It is powered by a 350 chevy bored 30 over, a 2 speed powerglide automatic trans and has 308 rear gears. It has Jegs wheels and new tires. Everything on the Jeep is either new or has been rebuilt. It rides and handles good and is fun to drive. I have put about 500 miles on it since the build with no problems.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(08/15/2011) As the seller realized, it is never good to find a main bearing in the oil pan. This has the wrong tailgate, too.
“I have to get rid of my Willys to pay off my Rubicon, times are tuff. This is a 1948 Willys CJ2A it has a good deal of rust on some parts of the body, some of the pictures show the rust. I bought this car to restore it and add it to the Jeeps I own, but now I need the money to keep my Rubicon.The tires are not really any good, the motor is not in the best shape I took the oil pan off to see if it was a good idea to try and start it but I found what looks like the main bearing in the oil pan so I stopped work on it. I cant tell alot about the jeep, I think the seats I have for it are not correct, I dont think he gave me the correct gas tank. I do have a clear title, if the Jeep goes for over a thousand dollers I will throw in some extra parts I have for it, New wheel brake cylnders, Data plates etc.. If it sells for over a thousand dollers I will deliver it within 150 miles of area code 29680.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.

The body is dinged and full of hay, but appears sound.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000

“
You are bidding on a 1946 Jeep Willys. The odometer says 77036 miles, but not conformed since I am not the original owner. I can tell you that everything as well as all gauges work and Jeep runs great, it also has new tires as well as a new top. Wining bidder will have to arrange for pickup or shipping THEMSELVES. ”
UPDATE: Randy bought this. He said it came with a rare louvered hood. He has everything to put it back together, though the project will take a while to complete as he has another big project ahead of it. You can see his other jeeps here. Congrats Randy!
It appears to include a winch. There is value here.

All original except for the updated parts and the replaced parts.
“I have a 1947 Willys Jeep for sale. ALL ORIGINAL!! It runs great too!!!! Has 11″ brakes in the front and 10″ brakes in the back.”
It’s not 100% authentic, but it wouldn’t take much to be 100%. The front frame rails look unmolested and unbent. Strangely, there are no pics that show the sides.
“1947 Willys jeep CJ2A, completely original tub (body). built in MAR of 1946. originally a texas truck, moved to Missouri, until a close police officer friend of ours brought the truck up to canada. the truck is 100% authentic Willys Jeep (original body, motor and frame).

“1948 Willy;s Flat Fender Jeep- 302 V8 Engine
Tilt locking wheel, extra fuel tank
New ragtop, IN THE BOX. Buckshot mudder tires.
Lifted, Lots of Custom work(rollcage, bumpers, dash and more!)
$4,200 Or best Offer ”
This is interesting. This used to be an extended CJ-2A, but has been cut back down to a stock size. The rollcage is only $50, which is a great price.
“Flat fender jeep body. Has the general rust under the passenger seat and drivers side. It was a rare long bed that in the 50’s I road in. But between then and when I bought it someone cut it down to a regular CJ2A size. the cut is just stitiched and needs finishing. Overall its not a basket case but will be a good project. I also have a roll bar that is custom for a 2A for $50 that is sitting on it and a windshield that needs the inner piece and a new panel across the front for $50. There are side diamond plate for the foot rest and along the side for $50 and some other 2A and 3A parts. I also have a complete project jeep for $1300. Body needs some work but for its age is better than most. You buy the project I will throw in the body listed above for any part it may need. I have L head motors that will need rebuilding for $300.”

Original running gear, L-head 4 cylinder flathead, wrapped in diamond plate, 12 volt system, aftermarket buckets and jump seats and full roll bar…this jeep is ready to go or rod it out and make it a rock crawler with an overdrive/underdrive. New starter, two new tops (full and binini–not currently on jeep). You will not find a nicer willys for the money! No rust, starts every time and gets lots of looks. Tow bar included.

The jeep has 5 new military 600-16 tires, has new carburetor, fuel pump and all the fluids in the jeep have been replaced. The motor was rebuilt several years ago and runs great. transmission shifts through all the gears and 4×4 works good also. Jeep has a nice snow plow on it along with a set of chains.

No pics provided and needs some work.
“The older brother to the other CJ2A I am selling, this one is titled and under non-op status. It is also nearly complete but needs to be gone through stem to stern to make it road worthy. It has a few rust issues, unlike its brother. My intentions were to build one but they are both so good, each deserves a new life. I can send photos. If you buy both, plus all the extra stuff listed in the other ad, I’ll toss in a Postal jeep frame, an extra CJ2A frame needing only minor work, an extra bell housing and transmission housing and transfer case housing, gas tank, and other odds and ends all for $5000. That would give you a great start on a fleet of CJ2As!”
