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 $4000.
(02/03/2021) Lots of custom work on this 1949 JeepRod.

Looks like a good rig. The drains holes have been covered (they are visible from the interior of the jeep).

“Beautiful black. Less than 2,000 mi. on rebuilt Chev. engine. Original trans. and running gear. After market Wheels and nearly new tires. New soft top … never installed since new paint.”
The seller is interested in trading for another jeep. He provides a list of jeeps at the bottom of the text. In his description, the seller doesn’t note that the body is a reproduction body.

“I’m listing my 1952 Willys CJ3A Jeep MAINLY for trade/possible sale consideration. The price is basically a “ballpark value” measuring tool. I’m just listing for trade vehicles I may want more than my Jeep, NOT because I need to sell or don’t like my Jeep. It is getting harder to drive as I’m getting older and would like a toy (JEEP ) that’s easier to drive (automatic, power steering, etc.) which will make sense if you read my trade list below.

Still needs a little work.

Here’s your chance to finish my winter project. I purchased this here on Craigslist not long ago, it sat for a while planned non-op. I towed it home and brought this great hard to find Flat fender Jeep CJ3 back to life. All the hard things have been done with finishing touches left.
I have another project and this one has to go.

Listed as a CJ-2A, it looks more like a CJ-3A. Oddly, this has a circular fuel inlet, but I can’t see anything else that makes me think this is some kind of 1) DJ body or 2) replacement body.

Seller wants these projects gone. The Koenig hardtop on the 3B looks restorable. The 3A body appears to be sitting on a later model CJ chassis.

“This is a 1950 Willy’s Jeep CJ-3A barn find – kind of… This Jeep has been in storage about 10 years, other than the wheels, seats and roll-bar, as far as I can tell is stock and runs. The Jeep has been in the family for several decades and was used almost exclusively as a trail vehicle for hunting – long before today’s side-by-sides became popular. I inherited it in 2020 but is now in my garage. While it does run, when engaging the clutch, a knock occurs and the clutch does not engage so the Jeep is in Neutral until fixed. All linkage moves, but nothing happens but the knock.
Other than checking fluids and purging the fuel line before starting it about a month ago, nothing else has been done. It also comes with a complete spare rear axle as seen in the pictures. No idea why the axle was with the Jeep, no reason to believe that the stock one is in need of repair, but it was with the Jeep in storage. While I’d love to take a crack at the clutch, I know it will likely take a bit more to become road worthy, I just don’t have the passion and knowledge necessary to do this Jeep justice. Here’s where you come in… Clean Title and current non-op registration.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6900.
(12/11/2021) No mention as to whether the plow is included.

It seems to me that the driver-side opening is cut down a bit, as if someone had tried to replicate a prototype jeep?

“Selling my 1950 Willys CJ3A. Mostly all original! 134 flat head engine and all drivetrain are original. New leaf springs provide a little bit of lift over original height. I’ve been working on this for a few years and just don’t have the time to finish this. This does run and is drivable but it’s been garaged the past few years and maintained. Plenty of new parts already installed and more parts waiting to be installed.
New parts include: leaf springs, shocks, BFG mud terrain tires, water pump, carburetor, spark plugs and wires, all new brakes (wheel cylinders, lines, master cyl), engine and drivetrain fluids/lubricants, and various other parts like gaskets and windshield seal when those are ready for installation.
Fenders, grill, hood, windshield frame and tailgate were all media blasted and primed. Have been working on the typical body problems found with these old Willys.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/30/2020) This appears to be a CJ-3A with a replacement tub, but hard to tell for sure given the pics.

“1951 willys Jeep. Have 90% of the parts. There is not rot on it at all it has been in a garage all it’s life. Motors all there needs to be gone through before running it.

“1950 Willy’s CJ3A. This would be great for either a restoration project or parts! Have the L-head motor out of it that would need to be gone through and put in to make it original. Also have most of an F-head motor went into the following Willy’s models. Drivetrain is all in place. Probably easiest to get a new tub as the floor is in pretty rough shape. Most body parts are included and all gauges in place. Have windshield (needs new glass), a heater.
Missing seat frames and does not have original rims. Would need some new tires as current don’t hold air very long (long enough to get onto a trailer though). It all goes together and not looking to sell individual parts unless you’re going to pay the asking price of it complete for just the parts you want. No Title. PM with questions, more pics, or to come look at. I just ask you be serious if you would like to schedule a time to look at. Thank you.”
