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 $14,000.
The mini-jeep is $3500.

Marc spotted this flattie for sale.
“My son Jarred spotted this for sale in Springs (where I live) yesterday. We both went to look at it today.
Would you please post this on eWillys Dave.
It is a 1947 CJ-2A with s/n # 88706 being sold privately at a second hand car dealership (Anrecha Auto, Tel. +27 11 362 2243), so I have absolutely nothing to do with this sale. Maybe someone from here (RSA) will see the post and she will go to good home……………if only I could buy her I certainly would.
1) No data plate in engine bay, only the frame tag is still attached.
2) The type plate in the front passenger side is MIA.
3) Engine has been replaced with a Toyota 2.1 4Y petrol engine (installation look neat)
4) Gearbox set up looks normal but the salesman did not know the type but said the owner stated it was Toyota??
5) None standard fuel tank, it is home made but looks the part and I think it may be stainless.
6) Aftermarket CJ-2A windscreen.
7) Non standard tail gate mounted spare wheel which has broken the tail gate which has been
modified with other hinges.
8) All seems straight but the paint job is a “look nice”only as there appears to be body filler in
places and there is visible rust all round.
9) 3 small tail lights fitted on both left and right sides.
10) Top hat sections/hat channels have seen better days as they have rusted through.
11) No speedo but the other instruments look non standard.
12) Body has been lifted, by what looks like 2-inches with round rubber blocks to clear the
engine height for the hood/bonnet.
13) R 65 000 South African rand’s appears to be a little harsh for what this is and the overall
condition.
The lower edge of the body looks like it has been changed/modified.

A reader forwarded these photos taken in northern Canada. Rather than recycled or otherwise utilized, the parts and vehicles were bulldozed over the edge of a hill. As you can see, amongst the debris are some jeeps.
A story about a MB barn find appeared in April at warhistoronline.com. It’s been accompanied by some forum posts with more pics at HMVF.

It runs.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
The seller has additional parts.
“Ive been in the old Willys jeep hobby for the last 10 years but am never going to get around to restoring or using all my CJ parts and I feel like cleaning house.
What Ive got is a 2a-3a rolling chassis = axles, wheels and tires, frame, springs, and engine. I dont have a body to go with it, but I do have odd body parts – two windshields, two hoods, fenders, old exhaust that seems solid but is rusty on the outside. All parts need work to be a jeep. This is a good starting point for a restoration, whether you want a factory fresh jeep or just a hunting/bash around jeep. The stuff in this paragraph is $400.
Ive also got other various parts – a few starters, radiators, distributors, even some seat cushions. If you’re interested in enough of the other parts, I can make you a deal on it all.
I tried to sell this last summer, but I think I was asking too much at the time and am ready to simply let it go. If you’ve looked at project jeeps you know this is a good deal. Come by this wkend and take a look.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
(09/15/2013) Looks like a real nice truck for either restoring or not.
“1949 Willy’s 4×4 truck runs and drive. 4 cyl 3 speed came from Montana. All original 64 years old. for $7,500.oo”

“Old right hand drive jeep. Automatic, four cylinder, runs well and is great on gas. It looks like an old willy’s jeep. Very cool, very fun.”

(05/08/2013) It needs an engine, but appears to be a good foundation.

http://tucson.craigslist.org/cto/4065721380.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6199. I found the referenced article and commented on it.
(03/01/2010) This jeep hasn’t been run in about 5 years. It needs a few items addressed.
“This 66 year old Jeep is one of the first commercial Jeeps manufactured after WW 2 and has been in protected storage for over 16 years. It was last run about 6 years ago. Carburetor cleaned at that time. It has a 12 volt starting system instead of 6 volt Has a soft top, and a bikini top too. Tow bar. Roll bar. Rear seat. 15 inch, not 16 inch, tires have little mileage. Carburetor was new in 1990. Over 100,000 miles on the odometer. Rebuilt 4-cylinder engine with less than 5,000 miles. Replacement parts include the two front metal fenders and added aluminum rear panels and heavy-duty front bumper. Has a swing out spare tire carrier, military gas cans maybe be mounted either side of spare tire. Repairs needed: gas tank leaks (pin hole). The master brake cylinder needs to be inspected or repaired. Seat frames are original with Naugahyde covered foam covering which either needs to be replaced or seat covers installed. The exhaust pipe needs to be reconnected to exhaust manifold and tail pipe, maybe muffler, needs replacing. Automobile magazine for July, 2013 estimates that restored CJ2A jeeps now retail from $12,500 to $20,000.”
