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 .
This militarized 2A looks pretty solid overall.

“Up for sale is my 1948 Willys CJ-2A project, selling the Tub and Frame. *Axles NOT included* The tub is in better shape than most, has some rust and some Bondo. However I didn’t care, as it was going to be a rock crawler. I also have a spare wind shield that is included. The frame is made from 2″x4″x1/4″ steel and excepts YJ Leafs, as shown in the photos, I bought it from a couple guys in Nevada. Other than that make me an offer, i’m not looking to sell separately.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1500.
(06/20/2020) It’s rough. Has a front facing PTO.

“willy’s jeep V6 …I think all parts are there. Not sure of year…No title Bill of Sale….. Best offer”

https://lacrosse.craigslist.org/for/d/houston-willys-jeep-for-sale-by-owner/7221648184.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
Has an head. Needs the transmission reinstalled.
“I pulled the transmission and transfer out to replace the seals and went down the rabbit hole. All new herrings, shafts, and gears in the T90 but I stalled out and it’s been sitting in the garage for 3 years. The soft top is brand new. I’ve got all new engine and tranny mounts. Previous owner did a lot of work including the 12 volt conversion and swapping to the F4 engine.”
Listed as a 1944, this seems to be a CJ-2A body and chassis. No title.

“1944 Willys Jeep, this is a project. The engine is missing a few parts. I pulled this Jeep out of a field, the hood and fenders wasn’t on the Jeep. I shot the primer to show it can be a great project. I have another Jeep that has same engine, I can let you have that engine also, if you pull it. Come take a look. Comes with bill of sale”
This may make a good project.

“Can you believe FB has no option for a CJ Jeep! This is a 1946 CJ-2a even though it is titled as a 1947 for some reason. Vehicle is in very good shape no dents no rust it has had numerous body panels professionally replaced skimmed and prepped for paint. It has an f-head engine conversion that runs well, new tires, shocks and some suspension components. New seats . Has a new in box 12 volt conversion kit also. No top or doors. Comes with tow bar and a trailer hitch . This is a very good start towards a really nice Willys Jeep! I just decided I wanted something a little bit more Creature Comforts and not as nice to take up into the mountains…this is too nice to get dents in”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $4000.
This may be one of the custom CJ-2A trucks sold out of Spokane (or it is a truck chassis with modified 2A body). This might differ from the “CJ-2Ls”, which had extended bodies to match the longer frames. It would be interesting to compare this frame with the CJ-2L frame. The half-top could be a remodeled Worman full-top.
This bottom ad describes a long-wheel base jeep with half cab made of wood. It’s plausible a similar vehicle was made with a metal half cab.
It’s a militarized CJ-2A that looks in good shape.

Unclear how much value is here.

“Willys Jeep and other Jeep transmissions for sale in an estate sale.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1100.
At least some value is here, but I can’t tell how good the body is.
“I have a 1946 CJ2A project. Mostly complete including a free turning engine. T90 trans, Dana 18 transfer case. Seats in excellent condition. I bought it to restore, but it turns out to be too much for me. This is a major project or great parts vehicle. Very little body rust. Floors and tailgate solid. No title or numbers”
Seller has removed some parts. Dash wiring all removed, so likely doesn’t start.
https://reno.craigslist.org/cto/d/reno-1948-jeep-cj2a-military-jeep/7215797859.html
“Bought this a few months ago it ran and drove. It is an absolute blast to drive, like a cross between a tractor and a gokart… I took it around the neighborhood and to the grocery store a few times down the street, then started to prep to remove the tub to fix some body rust and a few other issues. Steering box was loose and brakes worked but felt weak.
I didn’t get very far, removed some body bolts, undid the dash wiring (all clearly labeled for easy re-assembly)
I got into garage today to start working on it again after a few weeks and realized how many other things I need to get done around the house, etc etc…
I figured I would put it up for sale. If i can get $7500 for I would sell it. I would really rather finish it as it isn’t a huge project, but I need to prioritize things a little more first.
Its extremely easy to work on, parts are plentiful. I have some new parts I bought that will go with it.
Headlights, tail lights, 4wd, etc all worked great. 4low is a blast as it just barely crawls around.
I have the passenger seat, it was just removed to get ready to remove tub.
It has a tow bar so you can flat tow it easily with a standard 2″ ball.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500.
Has some tool box rust. Overall looks pretty good.
“This is an all original (except paint) CJ2A. Runs great, needs nothing! New king pins and fuel pump. Top is included. Also door frames but I have no material for them. 4 X 4 works great and these jeeps go almost anywhere, so fun. There is a little rust under the body, floors are solid as is the frame.
I’m on the road a lot so I might not answer right away. If it’s listed it’s still available, please don’t ask. Thanks Jimmy. Any questions welcomed!!’
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4750.
(09/29/2020) This runs, but could use some body work. Seller doesn’t check email every day.

“I Bought this jeep for a total redo. Previous owner I’m told owned it 20+ years, garage kept and it shows. Divorce forced sale. From the pile of receipts I have he was slowly redoing it. The mechanical work seems to be all done as it runs great, shifts good with good oil pressure. I bought it not running as it was about half way through a 12 volt conversion which I finished and the carb was shot.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4200.
