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 .
Lots to like here.

“1951 Willys CJ3A Jeep. Runs great.
Comes with older black soft top (I never bothered to install it).
Also comes with new canvas soft top and new seat covers (never got around to installing).
I’ve had this Jeep for about 2 years.
It appears to be in very original condition. Has functioning PTO on the back.
Everything you see is how I bought it.
I’m selling just to free up some space.”

“1951 Jeep Willy’s, model CJ3A, 4 wheel drive, new brakes, 4 cylinder, 3 speed in good condition.”
Doesn’t run at the moment.
https://denver.craigslist.org/pts/d/littleton-1949-cj3a-jeep-all-or-part/7621447123.html
“Complete. All parts are here. Was turning the flywheel to tighten bolts and it got stuck. Not sure what the problem is but there was no impact, just a slow turn by hand. Should be an easy fix. The previous owner told me that the engine had been rebuilt. I never got far enough to find out. It rolls and stops. The 12 volt battery is good. I bought a new regulator and stater for 12 volts. About $400 for those. Running would b worth over $5,000. I am thinking $3,000 or the best offer close to that. Clear title. Kept indoors.”
This is pretty rough.

“I have a jeep for sale. The body is super rough but savable. The frame is in good shape and straight. Both axles are good and it has a working Ross steering box. The fenders are in the back. What you see is what you get.
I have a rebuildable t90 I can throw in as well.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/18/2021) Needs work.

“I have a 1949 CJ3A Jeep for sale. It runs and drives, has a blue bonded title. I got the parts to start the brakes, but haven’t installed them yet. It’s not a rust bucket and would be fine on a ranch as-is, but it needs work. It would be a fun project for someone who has the room and the mechanical ability for a do it yourself project. I am firm on the price.”
If this were near me, I’d pick it up in a second.

(07/23/2022) Seller notes this is titled as a 1949, but it has a replacement data plate stamped CJV35 10656. I can’t locate anything that looks CJV35-ish.
https://boise.craigslist.org/cto/d/star-willys-jeep/7616943404.html
“Titled as a 1949 Willys could be a 1950 with title #CJ/35-10656. Buick V6, 5 extra tires and rims, roll bar and lots of extra parts. Will not answer texts or email.”
This one has an unusual windshield and rollbar setup.

“1951 Willy’s jeep wanting to sell Will need to be towed the engine is damn near complete only missing a few external pieces like belt starter and alternator will need new spark plugs and wires ran last I knew engine is not installed”
Though the pic shows this assembled, apparently it is disassembled.

It runs, but needs work.

“Runs great! Great off road vehicle! Title in hand this is an off road vehicle not street legal needs lights. Easy fix just don’t have time for it.”
This will need a bit of work before it races again.

“NO TITLE PROJECT!! I got was I was told is a 1952 CJ. Was setup for barrel racing until the previous owners started making modifications to make it a straight track drag jeep. I got it thinking I’d have the time to get to it but I don’t. I have the transmission for it, axles are there, only have the front tires now.( no rear tires ) cage I’d there but not mounted. Missing the steering rod. Other than that I don’t know much on it. NO TITLE!! Mainly interested in trades for a quad or dirtbike.”
Seller sounds ready to sell altogether or separately.

“1951 Willys, west coast truck. no rust, no motor. transmission and transfer case are present. has clean Nevada title. priced to sell fast, hard to find in this condition.”
Unclear if the chassis is a CJ-5, DJ-3A (w/4wd added) or CJ-3B.

(05/05/2023) This is a project, but seems a decent price.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1244265839626239
“This is definitely a project takeover Jeep that runs just needs a starter. Has a 6 volt system battery would need to be charged again as it’s been sitting for a while. The project was too much lot of sheet metal welding was done still a good amount needs to be done before the front for the most part it’s complete. The seats are newly reupholstered. Windshield is cracked. It’s an old Jeep Willy army vehicle. Come check it out if you’re interested and we will set up a time. Registration fees are due on it as seen in picture. Mileage is unknown currently but I just put 50,000 on it I’m sure it has about that in its lifetime from 1949”
UPDATE: price dropped to $4100.

“Basically a project jeep. New tires, New windshield. Thete is no motor. I can’t take more pictures till I go to the property. It’s a good deal. No bartering”
This project is puzzling me as it has the cowl vent hole, but a 3A shouldn’t have it.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1587740128320844
“Willy’s Jeep -Mid 1940’s rolling chassis project sold on a bill of sale with parts (as seen in photos) related to this Jeep. Complete power train and engine turns over freely – frame and body solid.
