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 $20,000
This looks like a nice build.
“VERY CLEAN, NEW GEAR, VENDER, INTERIOR, AND MANY MORE UPGRADES PRICE $20,000”
Check out the flattie on the bottom. Note how long the rear of the body is. I don’t see any indication that it was modded that way. Check out the old knobby tires in the back of it as well. Finally, what is sticking out from the passenger and driver’s side underneath the body of the CJ-2A?

This needs work! This has a rare louvered hood.
“Roll bar, 289 ford v8, headers, new exhaust, new tries, aluminum wheels, c-4 auto trans, tilt wheel, completely rewired, needs finishing. $3800,”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800
I’ve lightened the pictures as best I can. This body looks like a CJ-2A/3a with a 3B windshield. The rims might be decent. The hood has clearly been modified. I can’t tell much else.
“i have a old willys jeep that has a v8 ford in it and hasnt been started in 10 years my land lord is looking for the title but if he cant find it you could always go to mvd and have them run the vin numbers it cost 25.00 to do and then you get a title mailed to you i was going to do it myself because willys are kind of exspensive but i dont have the time or the money.this was going to be my project but like i said i dont have much time now with work so i am looking to trade for somthing i dont have to do so much to or eaven a old classic car thats been out of service what ever you have give me a call.i wont trade for dressers and clothes either please only trades that are worth whil”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(11/14/2010) Based on the grille, this seems more likely to be a mid to later CJ-2A rather than a 1946. The body appears in good shape.
“Up for auction is a 1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A. 1946 is the first year that civilian Jeeps where built. The Jeep is complete other that missing a windshield. Several pictures have been taken to show the condition. It has solid body and frame. The body does not have rust or Bondo (It has surface rust only). It does have a new gas tank. I have never started the jeep but it will turn over by hand. The radiator and engine are full of antifreeze. This jeep does have a clear title. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask. This jeep is pick up only and is located in Alton, Il 62002.”
This is original, expect for the parts that aren’t.

Jim recently purchased this nice looking CJ-2A.
He writes, “Here are a few pictures of my 1947 Willys CJ2A. It has had a ground up restoration several years ago. I bought it out of Kansas and now it is in the California Sierra Nevada Mountains where I use it at our cabin.
The Willys has a new tub body but original hood and tail gate. It has all the original plaques and auto numbers. All other parts reflect the period except a roll bar and a steering stabilizer. The engine runs like a sewing machine.
I am still working on it to make it better and original. The paint job also reflects the year. If I could find a restored flat fender with the original body and in this good of shape I might jump ship. Meanwhile I enjoy driving this vehicle where everything works like it did 63 years ago, which by the way is my age!”
Congrats Jim. It looks like fun 🙂
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700.
“This is a “barn find” ’46 Willys jeep cj-2a complete and original condition. has rare snowplow with hydraulics (Scheneker iron works model “b”plow with Hy-Lo-Jeep monarch belt driven hydraulics). and very rare power take off(p.t.o.) transmission with lever in cab. also under dash heater( an option) and a pto attachment to run an 8 in. belt to drive a pump or farm machinery original in original box(even the box is well made). i bought another car from this guy and fell for this one too, but i have 4 classic convertables already and no room for this one.or time to drive it. also… i can’t get it to turn over! i’m soaking the cylinders now but no luck yet. Willys “go-devil” flathead four “Willys won the contract mostly due to its more powerful engine (the “Go Devil”) which soldiers raved about, ” from wikipedia. has slide in ladder racks also. i always wanted a wwII vehicle and this one could also be useable(plow). but i want a lot of things and it’s a car too far for me”
The rear isn’t looking like ’41 running gear to me. It could be a CJ-2A body. I’m not sure which parts are from a ’59.

(11/21/2010) Here’s a rough project.
“Willys cj2a body rough, runs but hasn’t been started this year”
It appears the restorer spent a great deal of time turning this CJ-2A into a militarized-CJ-2A.
“1946 Willys Jeep Totally Restored 321 634 6806”
http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/cto/2084629357.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Hasn’t run in 20 years.
“I have a Old (not sure of year) Willys Jeep.It was my late stepdads and he has passed away and i dont see any reason to let it sit and rust. The body is rusted pretty bad but the chassis and engine are in good shape. With some sheet metal work the body would be an easy fix. Does not run since parked 20 some odd years ago. would be great restoration project. comes with hydraulic dump bed.(custom made i believe not sure). It has a four cylinder engine and manual transmission. I would say this is a 54 from what my stepdad told me before he passed away. I do have a title for this vehicle but it will take a few days to dig it up but i will write a bill of sale if needed.”
Ran a few years ago …
