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 .
Has a variety of updates.

“350 chevy engine, automatic trans. front disc brakes, Edlebrock manifold and carb. Headers, dual exhaust. Will trade for 60’s to 80’s wagon, daily driver. Cash is best. Come look at, make me an offer. No scammers or people wanting to sell me a report on it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** “Was $12,000.
Looks in good shape, though the bottom isn’t quite as clean as the topside.
“1957 Jeep Willys CJ5. Runs great!! Just got it NYS inspected. Hardly any rust on it. All original, not restored. This was a mint barn find from original owner. Only 33,000 miles on it. In great condition for an original 57 Jeep. Only reason I’m selling it is because it’s in such great condition I’m afraid of using it to go off road. I don’t want to damage it, I’d rather sell this to someone who can appreciate the historical value. Like I said, runs great I’ve been driving it around for a couple months now. I just put new brake lines, hose, pads, wheel cylinders and master brake cylinders on it. Along with a new carb.”
Listed as a 1947, it appears to have a VEC CJ-2A body.

https://syracuse.craigslist.org/pts/d/baldwinsville-cab-for-willys-jeep-cj2a/7002646709.html
“Complete cab for CJ2A. Yes some rust but all panels very solid. A tree fell on it so the bottom of the doors are a bit curled. Some glass broken – one door has unbroken glass. Has all original handles on both doors and rear window. Includes side closeout panels/door hinges. I acquired this for my early 60’s CJ5 but it is too short to fit.”
UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $500.
Someone can use these.
“I have two Willys Jeep motors for sale. I believe one is a 1946 and the other is a 1948. One is very complete with the fan, manifolds & carburetor. The other motor has the manifolds, generator and bell housing but no carb. They will both need to be completely rebuilt but have been covered and dry.”
Listed as a 1944, it looks more like an M-38.

The Summer 2019 issue of Dispatcher Magazine is out, along with the Holy Toledo 2020 calendar, just in time for Christmas!
I can’t remember how I obtained this photo of a Dutch jeep book cover, but I see no evidence that I ever posted it (found it on my old computer). So, here it is. The publishing date appears to be 1949.
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $7500.
Appears worth a look.
“This is an original Jeep with original paint. It’s in excellent condition. Though it has been sitting in my yard for months, it starts right up and runs great. This Jeep has new tires, exhaust, seats, as well as many other new parts and was very well taken care of by the previous owner.
I shipped this one across the country from SC…It was that nice!
This jeep has a heater, half canvas top with rear curtain, many new parts. Has original PTO, serial number indicates (GB) which is a farm jeep designation. Very rare only a few thousand of them made.
Low original mileage this jeep has not seen much work. It was used primarily as a toy.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $4900.
This looks in very good shape for the price.

“Mostly original 1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A. This jeep has been in my family for over 50 years. Most of those years were spent on our family farm in Southwest Nebraska. Comes with 2 (like new) Bestop Soft Tops, all 5 of the original wheels (not pictured) and the original owners manual. Has original 6 volt system. Runs well and would be an ideal project jeep for someone that has the time to put into it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
The passenger step has been reworked.
“1948 Willy’s JEEP CJ2A just in time for hunting season, this jeep is in good condition with many new parts including:
new carburetor
new fuel tank
new sending unit
new gauges
new tires
new water pump
rebuilt radiator
new hoses
updated wiring harness
The new carb and tank are installed and just need to be plumbed up, a few odds and ends need addressing with most all parts needed are included with the sale. The JEEP will be conveyed with a bill of sale, however the VIN plate is still present (rare for old JEEPS) so you can apply for a bonded title which cost $350 and some paperwork. The JEEP is priced right and with a little work could easily be worth twice as much.”
Has full floaters and an early head, but I don’t see other aspects of a VEC here. It may be an early 2A with a newer body.
https://nashville.craigslist.org/pts/d/dickson-1946-willys-overland-cj-2a/7000252838.html
“Price is for complete vehicle. No title being sold for parts only.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $14,500.
(10/02/2018) Looks in very good shape. Has a Koenig top. Might have a custom, lockable compartment in the dash?
“Beautiful ’54 Willy’s Jeep.. Rare with steel top.. Original motor, original trans.. original engine bay.. 6v.. Accessory original heater.. This Jeep turns heads like no other.. Everything works as should.. interior is mint.. no rust.. Don’t need help selling, no low ballers, don’t waste our time..”

This December 1954 Volume I, Issue I was the first issue of the ‘new’ KW Booster News, a monthly newspaper designed to inform employees. Updates would include the newest announcements, company updates, employee updates (such as the new profit sharing model), and intra-company events (such as intramural bowling teams). This first issue introduces the brand new CJ-5, among other announcements.
I’m not sure how many issues of the KW Booster were published. The only other issue of this newspaper on eWillys is the June 1958, Vol. 2, No. 1.
