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 .
Runs.
“I’m selling a 1947 Willys Jeep runs but needs work,4×4 all original $2000.00 obo”
https://modesto.craigslist.org/cto/d/1947-willys/6416544444.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
Appears to have a replacement body, but is missing the steps.
“1946 Willys Jeep. Clean body, no rust or dents. Engine is strong (not original) but does need some seals replaced. This jeep will need some work. Two new seats included in the purchase.”
UPDATE: Ray reported the following about this jeep: I spoke to the seller at length, and this was stretched on a military base and used as a tow vehicle. Its nice, has a lot of extra parts that go with it. Known problems – brakes need gone over, been driving on the farm with no brakes. Motor has a rod knock, sounds like lower engine problem. Rod, the seller, was very forthcoming and seemed very straight forward about it. They got new farm equipment so he wont be using the jeep on the farm any longer.
This 2A has been lengthened to 88″ and the gas tank is in the back. I’d really like to examine the frame. The lack of drain holes and fuel inlet on the driver’s side suggests there’s been at least some body work to this. As far as I know, there’s no documented prototype by Willys-Overland featuring a lengthened 2A, making this most likely some type of custom build. This does not look as stretched as the “CJ-2L”s that we’ve seen in the past, most (all?) of which were on the west coast.

Chris shared this link. The flattie is listed as a 1951, but appears to be an early CJ-2A.
“I have for sale my 1951 and 1961 Willys jeeps. The 1961 runs and drives great, starts every time but the 1951 does need some work. The 1961 jeep has 10000 miles on a complete rebuild. They are both original.”
https://tricities.craigslist.org/cto/d/1951-and-1961-willys-jeeps/6393108782.html
UPDATE: Price dropped to $8000.
(11/24/2017) Appears solid.
“1946 Willy CJ2A runs great interior is good Motors good body straight four-wheel drive tow bar.”
https://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/cto/d/willys-cj2a-overland/6409850577.html
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $2500.
(12/01/2017) It’s been converted to 4WD, but I don’t see transfer case lever(s)? It was a column shift.
“63 willy’s corrected lighting system, turn and brake lights. New tires, new steering ball joints and alignment. After running motor, found fresh oil dripping out of transmission bell ( where clutch is located ). Discussed situation with other mechanics believed it would be a leaking front main seal on transmission. Removed transmission to find it was the rear main engine seal. Lost time to finish repair due to sale of house. Put trans back in to help hold motor in place to move to WI. Jeep has a 3 speed trans.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Jim’s got these two trucks for sale. The running truck includes a Warn OD.
“1961 Jeep 4×4,L-226 6 cylinder with factory Waren O/D and factory lock out hubs,also has factory heater and radio( missing).Bed has rust through, but cab only has surface rust.Motor is complete but will not turn over,. also have a 1960 that is complete but needs restoring that goes with the deal”
Not sure how much value there is here.
“1942 Willys Jeep CJ2a on a 1973 Jeep CJ frame and running gear.”
https://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/d/1942-willys-jeep-cj2a/6411562182.html
This might be a 2A with a DJ-3A Body on it (single speedo and no driver side fuel inlet … though it’s missing a rear inlet .. it does appear to have a rear tank).
“This one-of-a-kind 1947 Willy’s Jeep CJ2A still runs great! This Jeep even has NEW tires and NEW brakes! It has 4 wheel drive and a manual transmission. It is in good condition and has a clean title. Asking $4850 or would be open to trading for a Golf Cart.”
https://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/d/1947-willys-jeep-cj2a-new/6405911877.html
This has a murdered CJ-2A body sitting stop a DJ-3A chassis.
“1963 WILLYS DJ3 ROLLER NO DRIVE TRAIN, NO GRILL NO WINDSHIELD NO TAIL GATE. A DJ3 IS LIKE A 2WD CJ2. CLEAN ARIZONA TITLE”
https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/cto/d/1963-willys-dj3-willy/6416960805.html
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $4000.
(10/12/2017) Doesn’t run. The fenders give it a stepped look.
“1959 Willys Jeep Forward Control FC 170 for sale!! It has all it’s original drivetrain, flathead Continental 6 cylinder, with 3 speed transmission, transfer case, and Dana axles. It also has Warn lockout hubs.
The glass is all in it, the rear window has a small crack, and the driver’s window is cracked. None of the other glass is broken, but some of it has fogged along the bottoms from age. The cab is in good shape, only has some small spots of rust that I’ve shown in the pictures. Small hole in the passenger side cab corner, (below battery compartment) some small holes in floor boards, and just behind the front bumper. Overall not bad at all. The bed is another story, it has rust in the stake pockets, and the floor.
The truck was originally red and white.
I’ve never tried to get it running, although the engine isn’t stuck and it supposedly had ran. I bought from an elderly man who was the second owner, and had owned it since the early sixties. It only shows 35K on the odometer, he said he only used it for hunting trips.”
This may be worth a look.
“The Jeep is a CJ2A. It also runs.”
https://up.craigslist.org/cto/d/1947-willy-jeep/6415576354.html
Seller lists this as a 1946, but it appears to be a VEEP or something similar.
“1946 willys jeep upgraded on a vw frame and drivetrain. Less than 300 miles since the restomod. Beautiful all the way around. Extremely collectible. You will not find another in this good of a condition with all the new model upgrades for the price.”
https://evansville.craigslist.org/cto/d/1946-willys-jeep-restomod/6414903342.html
The dash looks a little chaotic with that extra section mounted the rear of the windshield.
“198 cubic inch Buick cast iron
Borg warrner no adapter
22% Dana over drive
9k warren winch
Saginaw power steering
31×15 tires

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6495
Nick’s got his modified CJ-2A for sale. He said he’ll take more photos this weekend. He’s included a long spec list as well.
“This was my winter project last year. I purchased this Willys locally (Lancaster) in August 2016. It now has many, Many, Many new high quality parts. It actually has $4,171 worth of new parts installed (see below). I also have all of the receipts for the parts on hand.
I have only driven Jeep maybe 60 miles in the year since purchasing as I just finished all of the work to the Jeep in July.
All work done was done properly and without cutting corners. I had planned to keep this Jeep, but my wife and I are divorcing and she wants to sell this vehicle. This jeep is very nice, runs and drives great, and is very powerful. We are not in a hurry to sell this Jeep and are in no way interested in a trade, so please do not ask. We also do not require any help selling this Jeep.
I have uploaded a few pictures that I have here on my phone and will take better pictures this week. The pictures I just posted show the Jeep while in progress. Everything is done now.

https://cincinnati.craigslist.org/cto/d/willys-jeep-cj3a/6404537896.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
Looks like a good starting point.
“Really nice Jeep that has zero rust in the floors.
Perfect start for a restoration or a build platform.
Dana 27 front axle
Dana 44 rear axle both with 4.27 gears.
Has not run in a long time.
Motor turns over freely.
Complete Jeep, not all items are shown in the pictures.

Could be good for parts.

Good diffs, good frame, good tranny and tcase.
I have no info on the engine, it does not run and will need a complete rebuild or use for parts.
Tub has rust in front floors, although rear is pretty nice, roll bar is good, grill is good, no fenders, no windshield, no tailgate.
Tires are in good shape (just street tires)
No title, bill of sale only. you can apply for lost title, thats up to you.”
https://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/pts/d/1978-cj5-parts-or-project/6405724361.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
No drive train.
“1947 Willys Jeepster, 2wheel drove, no engine or trans, restorable condition. $1500 obo. Please no calls after 9pm”
Needs work. Engine runs.
“I had great plans to take a complete 1947 CJ2A w/Great Engine (I have video of the engine running), but it’s been for sale for about a year now and I would like to move it on. I should mention that it has the 1947 model year McCord heater, for the passenger compartment. It’s an option and I’m guessing that’s rare and would be somewhat collectible.
Price wise, my understanding is that the running engine alone should be worth about $1K. So to help move things along and make it easy, my thought is to sell the whole jeep for $1,000 – you get the good engine and all the rest of the original 1947 parts – no problem! I’m also open to offers, so if $1K is too much, what works for you? Another way to shave down the price a bit is for me to keep to few of the pieces (like the grill and windshield) and you can have the rest at a reduced cost.
All of these parts are located in Winona, MN and are available for you to stop by and see about anytime.
This price assumes that you will pick up and haul the jeep from Winona – delivery may be possible for an extra fee, just ask and we’ll see what can be worked out.
So, this would be a great winter project – maybe a family project or just something fun!”
