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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 $8000.
This is supposed to be Ward Canaday’s jeep. It does appear to have some rust.
“This is Ward Canaday’s Jeep. He was President of Willys/Overland during WWII and considered the Father of the Jeep. It’s a mostly original unmolested 1953 CJ3A wich runs great. It’s still runs on the 6 volt system and I’ve replaced the windshield, muffler and rebuilt the carb.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(02/15/2023) It’s got a custom top and a Warn OD is included.

“1953 Willys with a 1954 motor (the ‘54 is the higher HP overhead valve motor). ‘53 is flathead. New tires, new Warn overdrive, new battery, new peerless wiring harness. Custom aluminum top. All electrics converted to 12 volt. Runs fine. $8000 cash or trade for ??? Mostly looking for truck, motorcycle, boat, UTV but open to all trades. Text or email offers or for additional info.”
Listed as a 2A, this appears to be a 3A.

“It’s a 1949 Willys CJ2A with a ford V8 engine.
New shocks and new springs.
It was runs and drivable but parked so long and the timing was off. You need to bring your trail to tow.”
UPDATE: This is now being sold by a dealership. The lengthy list of “Vehicle Options” is quite strange.
(10/11/2022) This jeep came out of the Fresno, California, area and has been for sale previously. It’s got a Muller top, expanded windshield, and doors similar to some other California-jeeps from that region. One thing I hadn’t noticed was that the generator has a power steering pump mounted behind it. Is that out of some vehicle? It seems like a handy setup.
