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 .
Look solid.
“I have a 1950 cj3a new body original running gear runs and stops fine extra tail gate and hood newer tires grrreat lil rig won’t last long real nice”
https://hartford.craigslist.org/cto/6088735010.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3850.
The rear wheel wheels have been trimmed some.
“Very good project. New brakes drums and a new hub on one wheel, rebuilt starter, newer gas tank, new clutch pedal, and LOTs of new and used parts that I have for it, that have yet to be needed or installed, including electronic distributor, and a brake master cylinder. Its very mechanically sound. I had the head milled, and put a new head gasket on it. All it needs is a battery charge, and new gas and she’ll run and drive like the day she rolled off the assembly line. I have a mechanics manual for it too. Price is negotiable, however low ballers need not apply. I don’t have to sell it, and its garaged so I’d just assume keep it than let it go for a low ball price. Also keep in mind, its a project jeep, so if you pick it apart and tell me everything you find hoping to get it cheap, I’ll just walk away. I’m not an asshole, but this isn’t my first time selling on craigslist. Call or text.”
Could use more detailed pics, but looks promising.

“1950 CJ3A Willys Jeep
Rebuilt in the 80’s and modified with a Ford 289 engine.
Engine runs well, but could use a carb rebuild. 120 average compression; 49-50 psi oil pressure.
The rest of the drivetrain was rebuilt, but is original.
No noises from axles, transmission, and transfer case. All function fine. Four wheel drive is perfect.
Clutch works fine, brakes work but could use attention on the front passenger side.
Tires will leak air after a few days.
6782 miles since rebuilt, always stored inside.
Speedometer, oil pressure, fuel, amps and temp gauges all work.
Paint was never perfect, and there is some small rust staring to show.
Very fun Jeep!”
It’s a project.
“I have a CJ3a Willys Jeep for sale. I believe it is a 1953 model, but am not sure. I purchased it to restore, but never did. The Jeep is not running and is not complete. It’s missing a hood, gas tank, seat brackets, and miscellaneous other items. The body is not in great shape, but the frame appears to be in really good condition. I also have a spare motor (flathead), transmission, transfer case, and front and rear axles. The front axle need a chunk but the rear axle works. I have another frame as well. It’s basically two rolling chassis with one body. Also, I have a Ford 302 motor included. Will sell the Ford 302 separately, but prefer to keep the Jeep parts together. Cash only. No title or VIN due to age of vehicle, bill of sale only.”
