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 $2000.
It looks like a project.
“For your consideration is a 1950 cj3a jeep project vehicle. The vehicle has the original drivetrain, including the L134 flat head motor. The only thing that I believe that is missing are the front seats. Extra parts include axels, a transmission and transfer case, windshield frame and front hood. There is also a set of vintage dualmatic locking hubs”
No pics provided.

UPDATE: Was $2500. **SOLD**
(03/13/2013) The seller calls this jeep a “Willys T”; can’t say I’m familiar with that model. It runs and may be worth a look.
“1957 Willys T Jeep, fair condition, 4X4, A2000 Warn Wench Included. Vehicle comes AS IS with NO WARRANTY. 4 cylinder motor runs great. Has been repainted BLACK with WHITE letter outlines for type of Jeep.”
UPDATE: Still Available

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Check out the paint job on this jeep. Also, the windshield glas is extra tall. I think this might have been a very nice jeep at some point.
“Runs and drives, 4wheel drive woks fine, Hurricane 4cyl engine. Hood and passenger seat not pictured but I do have them. Passenger seat needs to be redone. Its a great starting point for a great rig. I thought I’d have time for it but I don’t”
UPDATE: **SOLD** … was priced at $1800. The story is told below:
Joe wrote, “I think it’s accurate to say that everything is there, minus the tub and tires… even the floor pan, tailgate, and wheels are there. Unfortunately, the gauges got wet while being stored by police (outside) as evidence. He says it was originally a Fire Jeep, for patrolling, but seldom used… which would explain the lack of rust on all the now-detached parts (hood, fenders, gas tank, etc.).
They caught the “tweeker”, who disassembled this jeep in an apparent drug-induced frenzy. He wasn’t even selling it… just tore it apart: pried off the floor pan; took off the body (now missing); and removed the tires from rims (tires are missing). Talk about a random act of destruction. Just SAD.
The AD:
“My beautiful 1950 CJ3A had 19000 original miles before the tweeker stole it and tore it apart. now I have the frame, engine, transmision, transfer case, axles, wheels, roll bar, hood, grill, tail gate, all in pieces. He cut the pan off with a air chisle. Didn’t damage the frame but tore the pan all to h$@#. I have it all loaded on a trailer, would like to sell as a lot but may be open to parting out. She was beautiful now she is parts and it breaks my heart to look at her.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
I think the outside of this is rhino-lined.
“53 Willys Jeep, fresh rebuid on Buick V-6, runs great, power steering tilt wheel, full cage rollbar,custom seats, custom bumpers, 9500 Lb winch like new, 33″ tires like new, Rhino lined, new brakes, 2 jeep gas cans mounted in back, removable back seat, windshield folds down when you are in the mountains.”
UPDATE: It was priced at $650. **SOLD**
Dan forwarded this great find. Looks like there is plenty of value even if it doesn’t run. Given the quick nature of the sale, I’d double check the title.
“Buick V6
Needs TLC and a new home.
Make offer. Need it gone today.”
This jeep has the rear PTO. It looks good.
“One of a king Jeep Willys. Simply the best Jeep on the market! Total restoration beginning in 2003. I have records of all repairs and purchased parts. Fun to drive. Around 4000 miles on origional engine restoration. Very rare correct back seat, PTO, etc. Too many repairs to list. Vehicle sold “as is”. It is awesome! Only serious buyers. Buyers must pay by bank check and buyers are responsible for all fees for delivery. “

UPDATE: **SOLD*** Was on eBay
This appears solid and includes the hunting platform.
“1952 CJ-3A, Superb condition. Engine rebuilt with approx 2,700 miles. Transmission rebuilt with approx 1,500 miles. Runs and drives well. Transitions into 4WD smoothly both in high and low range. Aluminum hunting bow on front and electric feeder on back. Both have quick removal receivers. Clear Texas title. Current State inspection and registration. Pics added shortly.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1300.
This appears to be a mix of parts. I’m relieved to know the tool box is NOT attached to the body.
“We have a complete 1949 willys jeep.

no title, just for fun
Tool box not included”
I’m not sure how much value there is here.

The engine doesn’t turn over, but unclear if it spins by hand. The seller will sell it without the engine and tranny for $2000. The body sure does look solid. This even has the metal drain strip under the hood hinge (I have one of these drain pieces if anyone is interested).
“very early cj3a. motor doesn’t turn over and is missing the breather , I will keep the crossover tube in motor picture The body very nice for a georgia car. Stored indoors for decades. a little rust here and there but all in all very straight and complete. would compare to those western cars any day

I’m not sure why the seller thinks this is a ‘high hood’.

At first I thought someone hacked the entrance areas on the passenger and driver’s side. But, after looking more closely, it looks like it was done by design.
“1950 flat fender Willys Jeep all original plus lots of extras with it too. $1800 obo

It runs, but needs work.
“51′ Willies Jeep for sale- Has a Chevy 327, locking hubs on all 4 wheels, 33″ mud terrains, tow bar. Runs good, but needs works on breaks and plenty of TLC for the interior and exterior. Great project vehicle for father and son or just for fun.”
Seller is looking for at least $15,000.
“Decided to sell my 1952 Willys CJ3A that just recently completed a full, frame off restoration. My family has owned this Jeep for 37 years (since 1975) when my Dad bought. He recently passed away and this Jeep isn’t helping the healing process for some reason.
This Willys went thru a complete restoration and was finished in 2012. A complete BRAND NEW steel body was purchased and installed. Frame was sandblasted, tec. Jeep has original motor and trans as well as a very RARE factory installed rear PTO winch. Tires are OEM originals and also Brand New. The list of New Parts is very long, all original and expensive!
Those of you that know these Jeeps, know what they are worth. I’m looking for the Best Offer. For those of you out there that are tire kickers, I will advise you that any offer under $15k won’t even be considered……so that’s the ballpark I’m playing in.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
Contrary to the seller’s claim, it isn’t all stock. The front bumper has been extended. It almost looks like it has tool indents on the passenger side.
“Runs great, Registered, All stock, New soft top & new seats, New master cylinder & wheel cylinders, 11in drum breaks”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
I love look of the motor, but less so the hole in the hood. This includes a winch. This would go quickly on the mainland.

There may be value here. It is missing drive train pieces.
“1950’s CJ3A. No engine, transmission, steering column or tailgate. Rusty but repairable. No title”
UPDATE: WAs $1500. **SOLD**
The engine is out of the jeep.
“Up for TRADE is my cj3a. The tub is in great condition as far as rust and damage. Frame is also in excellent condition. I took the engine trans and transfer case out in order to do a swap. I have the desirable buick dauntless 225 v6 to go back in it along with most of the parts for the swap. The motor is free and complete other than the alternator. It has 33″ 12.50 wide brutes on wagon wheel rims. Tires have some dry rot but all hold air and have 100% tread. It needs new u bolts on the front axle, so as of now the axle is off. I am ONLY interested in trading, unless I get $1500 cash. The engine alone is worth $800, not to mention a very good condition jeep to go along with it. If this jeep was put back together it would be an awesome ride. Im interested in trading for other 4×4 trucks, military vehicles, guns ammo and powersports. Im also Interested in 2 stroke racing three wheelers and 350x, and anything else worth what I’m asking for the jeep.”
I can’t tell much from the pic.
“Title listed as 1950 but research shows 1948. Great project to restore. Runs. Moving out of state only reason why it’s up for sale. $3200. 00”
