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 .
The jeeps are in storage; models unknown. They are described as 1945 and up. These two pics show some of the parts.

“I have 4 Jeeps with extra parts .Jeeps are in storage.I have all the paper works.”
Listed as a 1942, this may be a CJ-3A.

“Very good condition with original engine. Has electric fuel pump and fuel reduction unit. New brakes. Needs new soft top (I have the old one). Has a tow bar.”
This militarized CJ-3A looks in good shape.

“The CJ3a has extra leg room and belly room, so it is much more comfortable to drive!
Up for sale is a 1952 Willys CJ3A serial #31961 that is finished as an MB style WWII Army military Jeep. This jeep is ready to be driven and can be enjoyed today. It is great in parades, errands, and road trips. . You get lots of looks and high fives. This is a Fun Jeep! I take good sound jeeps, fix and upgrade where it needs it, and finish them to military. This Willys is street legal and safe with clear Kansas title, left and right blinkers, tail lights, headlights, olive drab seat belts, and brake lights. The blinkers and seat belts have been added to increase the safety of the vehicle, especially when driving the grandkids around.
This interesting build may have damage and bondo on the passenger rear quarter panel (see last pic). No description provided.

“Collector! Excellent condition. 8K OBO”
These are probably just parts vehicles at this point.
https://waco.craigslist.org/pts/d/waco-2-willys-jeep-project-vehicles/7199969390.html
“2 Willys Jeeps project vehicles. Use one for parts to build the other. One has complete original flathead 4 cyl engine. Both have front and rear axles. 1 complete transmission with transfer case. Drive Shafts, Dash and numerus other parts.

“1953 Willys Reproduction, $9,000 Custom Rock Crawler, it’s got it all – too many extras to list! 37” tires, bead locks, air lockers, 4.3 V-6 injected, 4-speed automatic transmission, split transfer case, on-board air compressor, Warn winch, 6-point roll cage, racing seats, CB, custom top with doors. This monster will go anywhere except on the highway; tow bar tows great. Licensed Classic Street Legal.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5800. Year changed to 1950. It lacks drain holes and a tailgate, so either this is an aftermarket body (fiberglass?) or its had work.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3138966156214902/
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2750.
(07/14/2020) With 3-on-the-tree and 2WD it sounds like a DJ-3A. The solid back suggests it may have been a convertible model; yet the body has cutout in the rear wells consistent with having been mounted on an MB/GPW. Has the correct hand brake, but incorrect gauges. Has the correct front end, but incorrect rear end. Has the correct 2/3 1/3 seats for a convertible model. Has the incorrect windshield.

“I have a 1949 Willies Jeep. It’s a army Jeep. I am looking for someone that will appreciate what it represents. AMERICA. Lol. I did have a title but am unable to locate at this time.

“1952 Willys CJ3A. Runs good, Drives good, Stops good, 4×4 works fine. Lots of new parts installed. Rebuilt starter, new fuel pump, carburetor, Master cylinder, plugs, wires, tune up parts, sheering wheel, and steering bell crank pin and bearings. This would make a great parade or farm jeep. It would be an excellent restoration project. There is some bondo here and there, it pops out of second gear when you let off the gas and use the gears to slow it. (typical) It has leaks and some play in the steering. (All very normal for one of these) It is available if it is still listed. It is located at Quarter Ton Parts in Chickamauga, GA. Hours are 8-4 eastern M-F.”
Looks in good shape for a militarized jeep.

“1952 Willys Jeep CJ-3a 4X4 Flat Fender L-134
Runs well (for almost 70 years old), drives, safe and legal on streets, good tires, good brakes (for drums), all working gauges (including new fuel gauge and sender, and new speedo), and currently registered until summer 2021. Drive train (3 speed, two or four wheel drive) and engine are mostly original/original restore except converted to 12V with alternator. Original L-134 Willys engine. 4 wheel drive with front locking hubs (hubs not original).
Lots of extras/upgrades including:
> Full 6 point roll cage
> Bikini Top (very good condition)
> Includes Aluminum HARD TOP!!! with doors (needs some work – about 85% complete, missing rear window/hatch, missing one door window and handles, but very hard to find these and it’s a nice extra to have)
> Extended steering box
> Extra front push bar with Extra lights, front grill guard
> Setup for towing, INCLUDES mated tow bar
> External Overflow tank (similar to Desert Cooler)
> Good seats, with seatbelts front and back
> Spare Tire
> “Willys” stamped on both fenders and tailgate
> Horn and turn signals (that only sort of work – I use hand signals)
> New 165 deg thermostat
> Very little time on newer alternator
> Good battery with blade disconnect
Certainly not a “show Jeep”, but was perviously used as a “tow behind” with a motor home for hunting/fishing/around camp transportation.
So Cal car for at least the last 20 years, no structural rust (mild surface rust on some scratches). Drove it roundtrip from Northridge to Simi Valley last week in 90 degree weather.
Can drive or tow home (but remember the top speed is about 50 mph down hill!)
If you want a Willys Jeep, especially for a tow-behind, you should definitely take a look.”
