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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
This one is worth a look.
“1949 Willys CJ3A with all original running gear, flat head 4 cylinder 3 speed transmission for wheel drive. Sound body with no cancer spots throughout. Has been garage kept. Runs and drive well. Top shown in picture is only one that it includes.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8900
Looks solid.
“This is a real head-turner. 1950 Willy’s Jeep, restored “original correct” — all original stock, no major mods. True Colorado vehicle that spent most of its life in Glenwood Springs, CO, before relocating to Evergreen, CO. The engine has not been rebuilt (just body & upholstery resto – including back seat) but it starts easy, runs clean and does not burn oil. Perfect for cruising around town on date night, but don’t plan any long trips on I-70 unless you are towing it, or retired. Odometer reads 62,149. Clean title, and everything works except the gas gauge. Soft top & tow bar included. Always garaged since restoration.
Local buyers with cash only. Thanks for looking.”
Listed as a CJ-3B, it looks to be a 3A with a 2A body.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4900.
(04/21/2014) The seller lists this as a 1952, but the Navy tag indicates this is a 1953. The yellow on the dash reminds me of the APU jeep color. Canoe is included.
“Mostly original U.S. Navy Willy’s Overland Jeep, loaded. Original, rebuilt Willys motor w/most all of its original parts. Runs good and quiet, doesn’t smoke. Authentic PTO winch (Great condition). Warren Overdrive. Period style hardtop and doors (Not bolted down). Extremely rare, original heater (Pictured). Original gauges that mostly work. Original seats need upholstered. Rear dual gas can/spare tire carrier (Not pictured & no cans included). Fold down windshield that pops out while its up, also (Really cool).
Accessories:
Expensive leaf spring set-up that gave it a 3″ lift. Roll bar. Newer shocks. Brand new BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain tires. Older Chrome rims. Old wood frame CANOE IS INCLUDED for the full price.”
I thought we’d seen this one previously. It uses a latch system to secure the tail gate. Looks like a good build.

Could be made into a racer, too. Buckshots in the front and Desert Dogs on the back.

“VINTAGE ***1951***WILLYS JEEP
If you are looking for a Jeep that is mechanically sound, dependable and a lot of fun this may be it. Is mostly original except it is painted and has decals as a military jeep just for fun. The seats were recovered by the previous owner. The vehicle is for fun and for farm or ranch or a hunting lease use. And, it is EMP proof.
New body. Still a project.
“Brand new willys overland body , on 71 v6 cj5 drivetrain, almost complete”
http://akroncanton.craigslist.org/cto/4419181639.html
This jeep appears to have a replacement body. I like the hardtop/doors setup. I don’t recognize it.
“I have a 1953 Willys Jeep with a snow plow for sale. Fiberglass top, roll bar, lock out hubs, engine heater, 2000cc Ford motor. Three speed with high and low gears plus power take off. Used it this winter to push the snow”
http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/cto/4417866834.html
Base on the motor and the year, I suspect this is a CJ-3A with a 3B body.
“1950 Willys Jeep: Good bones minimal rust, mechanically sound with original engine however previous owners may have used expired poultry to apply top coat paint. If you are a latte drinking hipster lacking calluses on your hands this vehicle may not be for you. This vehicle is for the guy who has shotgun shells in his dungaree pockets, dirt under his finger nails and may associate the term drive through dinner to the bugs collected in his teeth in route to a destination.
New items include: tires, hoses, 12 v system, alternator, gages, seats, steering wheel w/integrated horn, exhaust, turn indicators, shocks, brakes, etc.”
http://monroemi.craigslist.org/cto/4403651203.html
Possibly a fiberglass body? Note how the roll bar’s loop is bent so it can mount to the frame.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(03/13/2014) This likely has an F-Head.
“As the title says I have a 1953 willys jeep that I have to sell! I just got it and I fell in love with it but something came up and I really need the money! It runs and drives great the 4wd works well and it’s a ton of fun, no body rust that I’ve seen and the tires have plenty of life left. Like I said I’m in need of the money so no trades unless you can throw atleast $1500 on top! And please don’t insult me with an offer way below my asking price. I’ll negotiate as long as you’re reasonable!”
Trailer is extra. Looks like a mix of body parts. The indents should be on the other side. There is no battery box in the cowl.http://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/4414057598.html
“fully reg.d and titled current in my name…. ready to go….
I’m pretty sure it’s an M38… Im not 100% but this jeep has the axe and shovel indention on the side.. and an M38 windshield.. it doesn’t have a tailgate but could have had an insert put in.. it really seems military in configuration to me.. but again I am not 100% sure… it’s a great shape and it runs great…
Jeep has great running Buick V6
Full floating rr axle with 4 wheel hubs… great for easy towing…
