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 $3500.
This looks solid.

“Our old farm jeep with winch actuated plow. Used for years to plow drive. Has deluxe hardtop (roll down windows), new old stock heater installed 2 yrs ago works great. used up until last year then it wouldnt start. over the summer I stole the fuel line and one of the wheels rusted thru and punctured the tube. We are not on the farm anymore and I dont want to mess with it, just want it gone. This was an old farm jeep so if something rusted thru it was cut off and what ever was handy was welded in its place. My son and I painted and installed heater two years ago.
4 wheel drive works fine has 4 cyl with 3 speed and dual stick transfer case. I have an extra engine I got from a buddy when I helped pull it (it was running) and install a buick v6 in his. so i took the 4 banger.
$750 OBO or trade for your ?????”

Based on the number on the passenger side, I believe this was raced at one time. It would have been an Eastern Washington jeep (Region 4). The top appears in reasonable condition. It either has a DJ or a CJ-3B windshield.

“1949 Willys Jeep, CJ3A, runs and drives good, new brakes and suspension, 12V, key start, rebuilt engine.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“Here for your bidding is a 1949 Willys CJ3A. I have owned the Jeep about ten years or so and have not used it much so thats why it is for sale. It had been sitting in the barn for a couple of years so I had to do some work on it. the work was as follows; new clutch assy. new u joints in the front. Updated to twelve volts with the key start type starter, ( I do have the old one and the foot lever). It has a delco alternator on it It has new exhaust.The four wheel drive work as it should , there is a noise in the right front hub when engaged. The motor does smoke a little and the front end shimmys at about 35 miles an hour, pretty sure it is the bell crank bushing. The body has had some work done on it prior to me getting it, there is probably bondo in it somewhere.The floors look to have been fixed at one time and it was a nice job. the frame looks prefect as the jeep did come from down south in Tenn. This is not and military jeep I just painted that way. If you have any questions or need more pics please email me . thanks for looking and good luck bidding”

“Completely rewired with an Enos wiring kit, batt relocated in the rear, great bucket seats up front with driver seat adjustable so any size person can drive comfortably (I’m a big guy)
a custom rear bench seat with 3 sets of lap belts for the Grand kids. Given Corvette chromium yellow paint, a black and white striped bikini top this little jeep has a show stopper attitude. In 6 years since this project was completed. I have put exactly 512 miles on it. All hauling kids over to 7-11 for slurpees – well its not far to 7-11.
Always garage kept and never once yet taken off road, that ‘s why it looks the way it does today.
If you don’t want to have people point and stare this is not for you. This jeep draws as much attentionas my street rods. Its so sweet the kids used it to pulled the Bonanza High School freshman float at their homecoming this year. I want to go off roading with my son and his rock crawler. It would be a sin to cut this up into a rock crawler.
Jeep 51 Willys totally stock running gear completely rebuilt and replaced from the pressure plate to the tips of the new Warn hubs. 3 Speed T-90 transmission, T-18 transfer case and both Dana 44 axles have been completely gone through and rebuilt with new bearings and seal. 11″ brakes were added and fireawall mounted brake pedal new gas tank and gauges. I have $4000 worth of receipts from Back Country Products for the running gear rebuild. The motor is a 1955 Corvette 265 small block Chervy – very rare only 700 Corvettes built in 1955.
Lot of notalgia with this one. Edellbrock 650 4BBl carberator with automatic choke, Malloy coil and distrilbutor, this thing starts quick and purrs like a kitten. This motor NEVER HEATS UP even in our hottest weather, wish I could say that of the street rods I have builts.Serious person can call Brian 714-608-2330”

“This is a dry Montana vehicle that was clearly kept out of the weather for most of its life, and the body is in remarkably good shape (we don’t salt our roads in Montana, so rust is not an issue as it is many other places). Many of the parts that make the CJV-35 unique are still on the Jeep, including dash plates, rear lift rings, front hooks, hood snorkel cutout, headlight rings, and the specially-notched gas tank. The jeep appears to have had one repaint in a civilian green, and US government markings can be seen poking out from below (see photos). It looks like it was in use as an US Interior Department vehicle after its time in the Marines, but no other history is known. The motor has been replaced with a good-runing 1960’s era Buick (?) V6, but the rest of the driveline appears stock. The jeep runs and drives well, has good civilian tire on it, and good seats (are these even original, perhaps in black vinyl for the underwater driving?). Brakes, steering, suspension, tranny, 4 wheel drive all work well.
Any interested parties are encouraged to look at the jeep in person and drive it. All questions via email will be answered promptly. We have attempted to take as many high-res photos as possible so that the condition of the jeep can be assessed. This is sold “AS-IS” and “WHERE-IS”, and absolutely no warantees are made concerning the vehicle or its condition, either expressed or implied.
Again: restoring a military jeep is a wonderful but time and money-consuming task. If you’re going to make the investment, WHY NOT RESTORE THE BEST AND RAREST? One thing’s for sure – you will be the only one in your club with a CJV-35. Thanks for bidding and good luck!”
