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: **Status Unknown** Was $8995.
(12/03/2016) I wonder what the pole setup is for …
“ESTATE SALE. Very Rare 1949 Civilian Jeep CJ3A. First year for the CJ3A. Older restoration in Battle Ship Gray exterior. Engine rebuilt by previous owner. Has been stored inside. No visible rust. Runs & drives as it was meant to. Indicated mileage is 14643. Think of the fun you could have with this original 4WD vehicle. Serious inquiries only, please. Shown by appointment only.”
I hope that’s not being used as a roll bar
Nice 3A, best guess on the poll setup is would be for some kind of summer top that would allow for the windshield to be folded down.
It maybe a 49, but radiator grill says mid year 1950 when Willys changed from bottom mounted radiator to grill mounted. Serial number would confirm year. Very nice clean jeep though.
“VERY RARE 1949 JEEP”, The description amazes me, what’s so “RARE” about it? What I find amazing is the fact that so many of these old Willys Jeeps survived. Back in the 1950’s when I was a kid, it was almost impossible to find a Jeep in a junkyard, Chevys, Fords, Dodge, Etc, but not a Jeep to be found.
This gave rise to specialized Jeep parts dealers like Sarafan, Morris the Jeepster Man & VanDine Motors (John VanDine). Still looking for background information on Mr, VanDine.
If it were a 49 CJ2A that would be more rare than a 3A for sure
My 48 had that exact same pole setup on it… I never could figure out what it was for but a summer top is the best theory so far.
That’s possible Erik. I sure don’t know!
