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 .

Looks solid, though I’m not familiar with the military spoked rims 🙂
“1951 Willys CJ3A For sell!!! I buy old jeeps and restore them then resell. I have done many jeeps over the years… I got this one from the second owner here in Dry Western Colorado who had it for about 15 years on his ranch, it had a hard top on it the whole time so there is NO rust in the jeep. I sand blasted the whole body and wheels, epoxy primed and put WW2 OD green for the paint. It has the flat head four cylinder motor. I rebuilt the carburetor put new points condenser and spark plugs in it. motor runs good, starts right up every time, has good power, does smoke a little blue smoke but not bad at all. Has T-90 transmission. I rebuilt the front brake cylinder, put all new gauges in the jeep with a new speedometer cable. put new canvas seats in the jeep from Surplus City Jeep Parts, they are very comfortable and very well made… The owner before me had replaced the wiring, so that is a year or two old. Comes with the hard top and doors that where on it before I tore it apart if you want it, also comes with rear seat. This jeep is a tight little jeep and is really fun. I have driven in just a few times since I have done the restoration and it drive’s good, I have taken it 50 MPR and it doesn’t rattle or shake like some of the old jeeps. keep in mind its over 59 years old.. I have a Colorado title for the jeep. if you have any questions please call me at (970-210-0680) or email me. Jeep needs just a few things to get her all done such as light bulbs, gas tank sender and and a few other things to get it all done.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2350
(07/21/2010) That might just be the oddest windshield I’ve seen.
“I have a 1950 Willys Jeep CJ3A. 4 cylinder 4×4 that runs great. Only flaws would just be paint and maybe some tires in the future. Guarantee you this is the best deal on a jeep, come check it out in person”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2400.
(08/22/2010) This might be a good price.
“GREAT TOY FOR THE GROWN UPS! A 51 WILLYS JEEP WITH A 289 FORD V8 THAT RUNS.$2400 OBO CALL OR TEXT MIKE @ 951-288-0279”
http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/1967614449.html
I suspect this seller knows little about this. This might be picked up for less.
“can come see at 1777 sutter rd dont know if it runs call 707-839-2271 monday thru friday 8-4”
http://humboldt.craigslist.org/cto/1965751886.html
There have been a few changes. I can’t tell if this is a CJ-2A or CJ-3A.
“1948 Willys Jeep for Sale. In good shape considering how old it is. Runs, but needs fuel lines cleaned.”
http://littlerock.craigslist.org/cto/1965403563.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
What is that on the hood?
“I have a 1950 Military Jeep that I was going to restore but, I do not have time. It is not running at this time but, I have had it running in the past. I’m just asking for offers to be made. Please give me a call if you have any questions or if you would like to come and see it. 918-381-8293 / Johnny”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2995.
(09/20/2010) This seller has mower and snow plow attachments. Note the rear PTO. The tub and fenders are fiberglass.
“Good condition. Original flathead 4 cylinder starts and runs good. 3 speed transmission with hi-lo and FWD shifts good. Frame is solid with no rust. Tub and fenders are fiberglass. Hood, grill and windshield are steel. Has hydraulic lift on front and rare pto in the back. Included are a manual angle snow plow, and 59″ wide finish mower that hooks up to the rear pto, a steel half-cab which I purchased but never used, a light duty roll bar, original wheels and other parts. The speedo cable has been broken for as long as I have owned it so I have no idea how many miles are on it. The oil pressure and water temp gauges work. For the past 7 years or so, I have used this cool, old jeep to mow my lawn, plow my 100′ driveway and occasionally ride into town (5 miles) but now I have lost interest and purchased conventional mower and snowblower to replace it. Some work on the wiring for the headlights and turn signals will need to be done to make it street legal again. I will take $3500 for everything for the first person who shows up with the money and I’ll also consider offers for the jeep without the attachments.”
UPDATE I’m not shocked that this is still available
(08/20/2010) This poor jeep. I’m pretty sure this is a CJ-3A rather than a 1945 military jeep.
“here is a 1945 willys military jeep that was titled in 1951. back then military jeeps didn’t have titles. If you bought one back then it could be titled when registered. It does not run anymore ( motor is stuck ). The body is rusted bad but it has the original drivetrain . 500.00 obo”
http://wilmington.craigslist.org/cto/1964547770.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350
“1949 Willys cj3a jeep TUB has been rebuilt little surface rust, new box tubing in place of old channel iron and a lot of new steel, tool box on passenger side still there and not rusted out $500 includes windshield frame, hood, grill, tailgate, and roll bar. I need it all gone. Jeep project that I don’t have time to finish. . There are a lot of little things that go with this jeep. If there is something you are looking for just ask and I will see if I have it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
For $500, this looks like a good deal. The grille looks like a pre-mid 1947 grille.
“1950 Willys Jeep CJ2A, needs lots of work and parts. Was running, but as of now is not. Have extra front bumper and leaf springs. Mileage unknown. Pickup only.”
