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 $10,000.
(03/30/2022) Seems solid. It’s got an early 2A grille and a few other mods.
“Selling this 1952 Jeep CJ-2A Willy’s, this is an awesome time capsule jeep, has a new best top on it, comes with doors as well, freshly painted and restored, it runs and drives great, all the lights, horn, gauges…etc work, parked in the showroom come check it out! Asking $10,000, open to any trades or offers!”
Listed as a 1948 and described as a CJ-2A, this seems closer to a CJ-3A.

“I have an old Willys flat fender jeep available for sale. This is not a true military jeep, just a CJ2A it was done up to look like one. It does run and drive but it will need a throw out bearing and new brakes. I purchased it from an estate, the gentleman who built this put a lot of time and love into it. No, the machine gun is not real. It does come with all the accoutrements pictured though.  Bill of sale only but I can assist you with obtaining a title”
This has a variety of updates. The front floors have diamond plate.

“Hazzard Fabworx of Spokane has reworked the suspension, power steering, changed out all the fluids, battery, serviced the diffs/transmission/transfer case/overdrive, swapped in disc brakes all around (‘94 Geo Tracker) and installed lap seat belts. It has an “odd fire” V6 motor, Dana 30 front/Dana 44 rear both with 4.27 gears, T90 3-speed transmission, Dana 18 transfer case and a Warn overdrive. I will say the original overdrive was a Warn but the owner before me had it rebuilt by Herm The Overdrive Guy in Washington, so it’s physically a Husky case now. It also has a Warn 4500 lb winch mounted on the front. The odometer reads 30k and change. The thing still runs and drives great. It doesn’t burn oil and still has the original VIN plate. The story I got when I bought it was that it was a forestry service jeep in Oregon, hence the decals”
This project may be a good price.

“I have owned this for three years, and basically the only time I touched it is to move it from the garage to the shed. I am selling it to buy a first motorcycle, so if you have any trades, feel free to shoot me an offer. The engine, transmission, and transfer case are out of it, but I have them all. The engine was supposed to have been gone through by the previous owner, but I have never cracked it open to check. The body is mostly straight, except for the sizeable dent in the rear left corner, and a small rust spot on the passenger side. $1500 o.b.o. Text or call with any questions. I would like it gone by Wednesday, but it’s not the end of the world if it isn’t.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Unclear how much value is here.
“1950 cj3a Runs drives, no brakes New carb and fuel pump.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6500.

“This is a 49 Willy’s Jeep CJ2a. Has been in the Ballard family for over 50 years! Has a 1979 Ford 2.3 engine. Original manual transmission and rear end. Chevy Impala tilt steering column. It does run but hasn’t been driven very much for a few years. Has a Western 6 foot 6 plo”
This is worth a look.

(07/30/2021) This may actually be a CJ-3A? The body is fiberglass.

“Beautiful 1952 willys jeep in amazing condition.

disc brakes , 12 volt system, new top, a must see and drive,
more pictures available. Also interested in a trade for newer model jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
(11/28/2021) This is part of or from an estate sale. It’s a unique build.
“Street, strip or sand, this 1952 Willys is ready to play! While the clean title, which I have in hand, says it’s a 1952 Willys, I believe only the chassis, which has been boxed, is original. Blueprinted Aluminum GM V8 406ci/7.0l block. Aluminum Dart heads. That’s hooked up to a cutch-Turbo 400 transmission with scatter shield controlled B&M Pro Ratchet automatic shifter attached to a 3/4 ton 205 transfer case. Custom built heavy duty drive shafts to professionally built 35 spline axels. Dana 60 with locker and 5.08 gears in rear and Dana 44 with 4.88 gears in front. Street tires are brand new. Sand tires and wheels are also new. Extra set of wheels included if you want to mount slicks!
The rig is up and running/stopping but should be gone through before pushing it hard. It was parked for several years in an Arizona garage. Was plated in CA. Has break lights, headlights, turn signals. It’s an estate sale. Really cool, but not my jam. Trailer with tire rack available.”
This runs. It appears to have a replacement body.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/5492485520764771
“Complete and runs. V6 buick motor.”
Seems like there’s some value here. It does look to be a CJ-3A, based on the bodies’ dash, the radiator setup, and the lack of front frame horns.
https://portland.craigslist.org/grg/pts/d/mosier-cj2a-or-cj3a/7455519373.html
“This is either a CJ2A or a CJ3A or may be a mix. It is a project that I have stalled on…
Frame and engine are in good shape, the engine turns over, is not seized. Has new brake lines and includes a new carburetor. All Jeep parts in the photos go with it; muffler, exhaust pipe, radiator, all body parts, drive shafts, steering assembly, etc. As with most of these Jeeps, the body (tub) is fair to poor.”
Has. variety of updates. Looks in good shape.

“Excellent condition, drive anywhere..4×4 ,231 v6,auto trans,disc brake conversion on front etc…price is firm, no trades….moving and I don’t want to put it in storage..clean clear ms title”
This looks in good shape and most likely has a replacement body (not M-38).

“1951 Willys CJ-3A. M38 windshield and body. Starts right up, runs good, no mechanical issues. L134 flathead engine. Carb just rebuilt, brakes were rebuilt last year, new battery, electrical system converted to 12 volt, fluids changed regularly. Has some rust underneath but overall a solid old Jeep that just needs someone that has the time to spend taking care of a 70 year old machine. Title in hand”
This appears to have a CJ-2A chassis, but, given it lacks the 2A ignition hold in the dash, it might have a 3A body.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3276047609348462
“It is a project, currently not running. Everything is there but needs to be restored. I have the seat frames. Also have original service manual. Have the title”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2850.
Doesn’t run.
“1951 CJ3A Willys Flat fender. Has a non running later F head engine but I have included an original L134 and uncut hood. $2850. I have a good title”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
Doesn’t look like a whole lot of value here.
“Willys jeep tub rough nice windshield frame, trans n rearends , steering column/ frame rough. Make offers”
UPDATE: Still Available.
The headlight bezels might hit at this being a CJ-V35U, but it also is a pretty big mish-mash of parts. There must be a good story behind this creation. Unfortunately, there is no description provided.

It’s rare to see a Blue Star hardtop on a jeep for sale anymore.

“I have some old willys Jeep parts for sale. I have a tub, hood, fenders, grille, and windshield from a ‘52 Cj3a. The tub is in pretty rough condition on one side. The fenders aren’t rusty but have a couple grinder cuts in them. The grille is ok. The hood is ok. The windshield frame is pretty good. It would be good for a woods buggy or you can use the windshield frame, hood and grille for your project.
I also have a transmission, transfer case and a set of axles, Dana 25 and Dana 41 from a ‘48 cj2a. The transmission and transfer case will need rebuilding. The axles have a rare set of locking hubs on them, there were a few different types of locking hubs for these jeeps. Also comes with an old ford inline 6 engine. Needs rebuilding
$500 for all of it. Must take it all. I can help you load it onto your trailer.
The pictures are older pictures. The tub is off of the frame now.”
