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: Still Available.

“Selling my willys. When I bought it I was told it was a 1953 willys cj3a but someone who came because they needed a cj3- says it is actually a 1948 cj2a with a cj3a windshield. Either way It is a willys project. floor boards have been replaced. Only reason I’m selling is because I have too many projects. 4cyl engine partially installed – never heard it run but makes compression when turned over by hand. its still a 6v system. have the generator, but no starter. Solid – has some rust underneath but well worth the time and effort. no title bill of sale only. ”

Listed as a CJ-3A, it has a 2A windshield, so may actually be a 2A.
“For sale is a 1949 Willys CJ-3A (Jeep). The overall body of the vehicle is very solid with just a couple areas with minor surface rust. Would be an ideal vehicle to use for hunting, but can be used for just about anything. Vehicle still runs good and just needs some cleaning up. Please only serious inquires and questions pertaining to the vehicle. Also please no calls after 8pm. ”

This might have a rare Porter & Reed half cab. The split window in the rear is what suggests it to me.

“The picture with me in it is when we bought it. The drive train is there. It is partially dismantled, as seen in the photos. Everything is there to get it on the road. Fenders, hood, tailgate, blinkers, headlight assemblies, roll bar, seats. Previous owner said the motor is a 283. Body has some dents and dings, but overall very solid. I think we still have wheels.”
