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 .
Not one, but two popups in the hood?

(03/27/2010) Lots of good updates to this CJ. Those front hangers are a bit on the tall side.
“Purchase a one of kind with a classic touch. 1947 Willys Jeep CJ-2A Body and Frame.1989 Jeep Cherokee Fuel Injected Engine and Transmission. Dana 300 Transfer case. 5-33″ BFG Mud T/A. Beard Racing Seats with 4 point harnesses. Dana 44 Full floating Rear End with Hubs and Limited Slip. Dana 35 Front End with Disc brakes, Power Steering, and Limited Slip. Custom snorkel. 8000 lb winch. Rancho RSX 9000 shocks. Full flat tow setup.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600
“I have two (2) Jeep CJ 2A’s for sale. Here’s the story: I saved one (no title) from the shredder that had a complete chassis but the body had been ruined beyond repair, so I cut it off. I got that chassis running until I could find a body for it – which I found in the form of a complete Jeep that had the motor out and was missing the transmission. I thus dropped the running motor/tranny/transfer case from the chassis into the more complete Jeep.
So what you get is a 1946 CJ-2A (Montana titled) that runs and I have driven around the block, but no further. Why? Basically because I have done nothing to the brakes and don’t have a radiator (but I know a man who has). The Jeep just has a crude hotwiring system to make the motor run. You will have to attend to the brakes, lights, gauges (missing), greasing stuff up, etc. I can demonstrate that the motor is good and that the Jeep runs and drives and that 4wd works, but it will of course require some more work to make it ready to use for fun. It is missing its tailgate, but there is a bent one that you get that is green and could be straightened out to work. I am trying to get the house/garage where the Jeeps are rented and need to sell them.
On the plus side, the orange Jeep has a nice solid body, complete windshield, gas tank, decent paint (orange), tow bar (1 7/8 in ball) and is generally very clean.
You also will get:
– a complete metal half-cab with doors
– an extra motor and exhaust system
– an extra transfer case and complete clutch
– two sets of wheels, one with good newer radial tires and one with older bias ply’s
– an extra chassis with axels
– extra grill/bent but usable hood and tailgate/bent but repairable gas tank/brake hardware/misc
This shouldn’t be a difficult project, and for example with the brakes, between the two Jeeps you should be able to make up one good set of every part (shoes/drums/etc). If you wanted to sell the extra parts off or make a second complete Jeep you could essentially get one for almost free.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Here’s an unusual flattie.
“1947 Willys Jeep body mounted on a Chevy S-10 2wd chassis. Front power disc brakes. Chevy 383 stroker motor with roller rockers and forged domed pistons. Turbo 350 trans. Runs and drives great. Needs lights wired and windshield to be street legal. Lots of new parts. I have a title for the Willys Jeep. $2500”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3500
(08/11/2010) This looks solid, is mostly stock and comes with a nice rack.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
Here’s an aluminum flattie body on a modified Ford Bronco chassis. As I mentioned in a post last week, the vented hoods are very rare. I’m not sure if that’s aluminum or steel.
“Unique aluminum bodied CJ2 Jeep. This is a professionally built for off road, but very streetable CJ2. It is a real eye catcher. It features a highly modified 1974 Bronco chassis with 4 wheel disc brakes, dual master cylinders, urethane bushings, power steering, trans. cooler, power steering cooler, etc. It sits on, like new, 35X10X15 Goodyears. Power is supplied by a fresh 351w ford with edelbroch manifold and newly rebulit edelbrock 4 barrel, connected to a modified c-4 trans.and headers. It is an older construction, but is done right! I prefer cash, but will consider a trade for a nice cj or wrangler or ? and cash. ”
Here’s a parts Jeep.

It runs and looks pretty stock.

It runs! And includes the lawn chair I imagine!
“No Body, Runs, Drivable,Kaiser Super Sonic Motor,4 Cyl,”
UPDATE: This is now on eBay
(05/18/2010) It looks like a good, solid little runner.
“Jeep has been in the family over 30 years and is looking for a family for the next 30 years. Mechanically has been fully gone over and runs and drives great. Dana 40 rear axle. Warn overdrive. Ford 2.3 4 cylinder. New Carb. New Fuel Pump. New Gas Tank. Great tires. Newer top. Clean Title.”

Sebastian writes, “He is asking $5000. The car looks great, and the engine was totally rebuilt a few years back. As far as I could see everything was original.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Matt spotted this. If I interpret this correctly, it includes a 1948 body and a fiberglass tub and other parts. This might be a good price.
“1947 CJ2A on wheels and 1948 CJ2A body with fiberglass tub. 2.3 ltr Ford Mustang motor and all brackets and plates to mount into a CJ2A body. Engine runs great and the 48 body has no rust on the hood, fenders, and grill. Will only sell all together.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
This might be a good price.
“1947 Willy and 1953 jeep. No papers on 53 but 47 has title and current non-op. Both complete and ran before being taken apart. 1000.00 for all. Contact me for more details.”
This looks interesting.
“Very close to original condition. GO DEVIL 134 Flat. Tub is clean but not perfect. Motor does not burn oil runs good. All stock running gear. Great collectors Jeep. I am the 4th owner and out of room. No emails please call me at (918)261-5509 before 8:00 pm.”

How about that mini-winch up front 🙂
“46 Willys CJ2A; Off Road; Good Shape; Restoreable or Ranch Use; ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
As best I can tell, it doesn’t appear to be a VEC to me.
“Deer season is almost here & this is the perfect time to snag this 1945 Willys Jeep. Needs transmission but it will run. Price is $500 firm.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $4500.
(07/12/2010) This looks to be in good condition.
“1946 Willys Jeep, includes extra transmission, transfer case, axle and new master cylinder,same owner last 20 years in Oak Shores asking $4,500”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1500.
(07/15/2010) The seller doesn’t mention that this body has been stretched. I wonder if those are actually chrome headers rather than stainless headers.
“For Sale. 1948 Willys CJ2 with PTO. •1966 Buick 225 V6 – Runs good. •Stainless steel headers & exhaust system. •Oversize brakes. •Lock out hubs. •New master & clutch slave cylinder. •Valid clear title. •Missing data plate. •Needs to be rewired + minor mechanical. Great restoration project! Call Al at 509-536-6382, if no answer, please leave message. PRICE REDUCED TO $1500”

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was listed at $1500
(07/05/09) “1942 Willys CJ2A on a CJ3A Frame Stretched 5” Mid door, 2 Wheel Drive, Dana 44 Posi with 5.88 Gear Ratio. rolling chassy and body roll cage no engine or trans. ( 2 will drive sand racer). Need to sell.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900.
It’s not much of a VEC any more, but it still has the indents at the very least. The tires and rims appear in good condition. This might be a good price. The seller notes there is no rust, but there is an odd plate underneath the passenger step.
“Runs, no rust,283v8,less than 300 mi on motor,roll cage.bikini top,lifted, many extras,custom made rack on back removable,good tires 5 total”
I’m not sure what’s all here.
“Basket case. Flat fenders. Body rough.”
http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/cto/1910568123.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
Assuming the data plate belongs to this jeep, I’d guess this jeep to be a late ’46 at the earliest — not that it really matters given the custom mods.
“NO TITLE NOT SURE IF IT WAS BUILD BY SOMEBODY OR IT IS ORGINAL WITH THE BED.WHEN I BOUGHT IT THE OLDER GENTELMAN SAID IT IS A 1945 BUT I’M NOT SURE WHAT YEAR IT IS IT’S AROUND THAT YEAR FOR SURE. HAS A FLATHEAD 4. HAS 3 SPEED TRANS IT RUNS AND DRIVES IT JUST DON’T HAVE BRAKES.HAS LOW AND HIGH RANGE 4 WEEL DRIVE ALL WORKS DO HAVE WINDSHEILD TO GO WITH IT.”
If the front half of the body is still sound (which I doubt), this might be an interesting restoration as something unusual.
“FOR SALE; 1948 Jeep Willys; Great Restoration Project! Respond with name and number if interested.”
