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 .
it’s a project with updates.

“1951 CJ3 Willy’s Jeep. 4.3 chev. Engine, new disc brakes, shocks, rack and pinion steering, many new parts. Moving and can’t finish. 5 new tires and wheels. Needs put together and paint.”
Has a variety of updates.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/747704586678747
“Relisting since potential buyer cancelled. 1949 Willys CJ3 in good condition, drives very well, no rust, not a project. Small V6 with 3-speed manual transmission. Tonneau top and full top with doors. 5 matching wheels and tires. Will consider trade for 65-73 or 79-93 Mustang or newer Wrangler of similar value.”
Give the data plate serial number of 29621, I thought this might be a VEC CJ-2A chassis with an M-38 body. However, note the grille and front crossmember seem set up for a grille mounted radiator, rather than a front member mounted radiator. But, it is definitely CJ (not M-38) chassis. This doesn’t run.

“Here I have a 1947 Willy’s jeep that I believe to be the military version. It is almost complete with not to bad of rust. Motor is NOT locked up and spins freely. The radiator is missing, I do have the headlight that is missing in the pictures. I can take better pictures for more serious people. I am currently only looking to trade for a good 4 wheeler or possibly a pickup, classic VW, throw me a offer.Does have a clean title”
Listed as a 1949 CJ-3A, this had an early 2A grille, so may be more like a 1946-47. This also is pictured with a DJ-3A convertible windshield. The jeep has been disassembled.

“Willys cj3a project, was gonna do a full restoration but have decided to go another route. Taken apart currently but all the small pieces have been bagged and labeled. The tub will need some body work and new floors if your looking for a new resto. Otherwise it will work for a farm jeep. Engine runs and i have a video of it. New brakes lines and other brake components bought just never installed. Located in Nacogdoches. Price is OBO. will trade for ford truck stuff. 60-70s ford, OBS parts, would trade for a working two post lift.”
Some interesting mods on this custom build.

“49 willys cj2a
Chevy v8 327

super clean jeep.
ready to drive right now.”
This looks to be an ex-racing jeep. That pinto engine might have some other HP updates besides the offy intake manifold. Note those “heart” rims; I’ve never seen them before (see last pic).
https://portland.craigslist.org/clc/pts/d/brightwood-40s-willys-jeep/7499992613.html
“Old Willys jeep project. Pinto motor with offenhouser intake and custom header- doesn’t run appears to have factory transmission/ transfer case but I’m not an expert on that. 4×4 with power steering custom wheels and tires. Full set of the wide wheels with turf tires that are old plus tractor tires that appear to be in very nice shape. Custom roll cage – aftermarket gauges . No title not street legal price is Firm clearing up the yard of projects so no trades- lots of potential- thanks”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800.
Seems worth a look.

“PA Titled 1953 WIllys CJ-3A. It is actually made up of Military Axles and engine, DJ-3A Tub, 3A transmission and drive train. I call it Muttly. It has a redone Military L134 Engine, and brakes, Tires are newer about 2 years old and I don’t put a lot of miles on it. I have re-done the electrical for headlights, and put in a new clutch. It does drip from the oil pan a little. The transmission pops out of second, but I do have a fully rebuilt transmission that I will provide for the price I list. I did replace the seats and add the spare tire carrier, jerry can holder, wipers, and a ebrake. I have other projects now and need space. $7500.00 OBO. I will supply a non-rebuilt transmission (dis-assemble ready to be rebuild for $500.00 less.) I also have a second 1947 title CJ-2A Ready for rebuild”
Has some narrow hurricane rims.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,500.
This flattie has an unusual hardtop and door setup. It looks well done; I can’t tell if it was home made or commercially produced, though I have no brochures for a top like this.
“1953 Willys CJ3A V6 Buick with a Ford 4 speed top loader, Power steering Front disc. brake, M/T wheels with 33/ 12.5/15 Extra set of wheels tires for winter 35/12.5/15 PTO, wench, hardtop and doors $10,500 OBO”
This may be a 1949 CJ-3A with a convertible DJ-3A Body and windshield. Whether the chassis is DJ-3A or CJ-3A isn’t clear to me.

“1949 Jeep Willy cj3a 4×4 Does run and drive. Has good tires. Brakes have been upgraded to disc brakes front and back. Body is in great shape. Has the original straight flat 4 cylinder. 3 speed stick shift. Would make a great off road 4×4 Have a clear title”
This jeep is listed as a 1957, but I don’t see anything DJ-3Aish about it. That’s a lot of wiring in the engine compartment. This has a Toyota steering wheel for some reason.

“Hello I have a 1957 jeep willys it has a very solid frame the body has seen a night in prison it’s got a couple holes in the floor which you can see in the picture steering is not connected the motor ran when put away 7 years ago I have the soft top and seats and doors for it which they all are in very good condition.

“1951 Jeep Willys CJ 3A V-8 Buick, to much to list call for details. clean title”
Listed as a 1949 CJ-2A Swiss Army Jeep and claimed to be “an original Swiss Army Willys Jeep”, this looks to me to be a refurbed CJ-3A with a reproduction MB body and, possibly, an MB engine. So, how ‘original’ it is isn’t clear.
It is true the Swiss Army used a wide range of jeeps, including MBs, CJ-2As, CJ-3As, M-38A1s, CJ-3Bs, CJ-5s, and Wagons (https://cj3b.info/Military/SwissArmy.html).

This jeep has a few interesting mods, especially around the power steering. I’m guessing it is a current or former PNW4WDA jeep.
