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 .
It’s a project.

“willys cj3a WITH TITLE non op. new oil lines, fuel line, filter, fuel pump, carb rebuild kit “I have a W-O carb for it”, and a complete brake over haul kit “everything” and a bunch of other new used parts ready to go. $4500 firm no if ands or buts. I dont have it running yet either.”
Given it needs an engine and work, the price seems a reach.

“Classic 1950 Willys model 45. It needs a new engine and does not run. Great project.”

“For sale: 1952 willys cj3a jeep. 6 volt. Clear title. Professionally rebuilt WO carter carburetor. New points ,plugs ,condenser and coil. Almost entirely stock except for oversized seats and swing out tire carrier. The gas gauge works sporadically . Probably a ground wire issue. I don’t drive it more than 14 miles at a time so has not been a problem for me. The only other suspect part is the generator. The jeep only uses the battery to start it unless you use the lights. I just charge it up once a week to make sure it’s topped off. Everything else works as it should. Garage kept and only taken out in nice weather. I’ve had fun with it for 5 years, time to share with someone else. Asking $11,500”
Listed as a 1948 CJ-2A, the body looks to be CJ-3A. The front frame rails lack the gussets. Might be a good price.

It appears to be $600 for all. The white body looks to be a 3A. I can’t tell what the bottom body is. At least one frame is a 2A.

(12/05/2020) A ran-when-parked specimen (though looks like it was parked many years ago). It includes a set of rare X-Style Desert Dogs which look little used. Unclear how much value is here, but the price seems to overestimate the value.

The headlight bezels might hit at this being a CJ-V35U, but it also is a pretty big mish-mash of parts. There must be a good story behind this creation. Unfortunately, there is no description provided.
