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 .
There may be some value here.

UPDATE: was $5500. **SOLD**
(06/24/2012) This looks well maintained, but isn’t all original.
“1951 jeep willys cj3 all original but has been restored runs and drives good to 4 wheel drive works excellent the jeep has no rust it has been in the family forever we do not use any more time to let it go so if you are interested.
Rob spotted this priceless creation. It runs and drives and plows, which is more than can be said about some jeeps.
“I have a 1940,s? jeep. 3-speed Hi-Lo 4×4 with large Dune tires. Plow works good. I have original seat. Always garaged. Used for plowing drive way. V-6 engine runs good. Good clutch, transfer case & tranny. Asking $1,100. OBO Call 989-868-three 1 six 3 any time.”
http://saginaw.craigslist.org/pts/3158446102.html
UPDATE: Was $3000. **SOLD**
(07/25/2012) The seller provides some good details on the condition. It needs a few things to run.
“Just testing the waters with this.
The good:
It’s a 1951 CJ3A, has a title.
SOA Lift, Saginaw steering swap.
Has a 1964 Small Block Ford 289.
Chevy steering column
Rear fenderwells are modified to fit modern seats, comfortable sit in.
Dana 44 rear, Dana 27 front. Both from a scout 80/800.
Front disk brakes using Scout II rotors, GM calipers, etc.
Aluminum rims with 31×10.5xR15 tires, with 50% tread left
Converted to disk brakes, and hydraulic clutch.
Has a working speedometer, voltmeter, temp gauge, etc.
Brand new wiring harness front to rear.
Fully wired, blinkers, brakes, headlights. Has a 12 fuse fuseblock, with about 8 unused connections for various things.
Rebuilt Autolite 2100 carburetor. Engine runs amazingly well. The engine alone is worth 1500.
Drives perfect down the road, as in, you can take your hands off the wheel and it’ll track straight.
What it needs to be complete:
A new brake booster.
A better radiator, or a fan shroud to be made (gets hot, doesn’t overheat, gauge might be incorrect)
A fuel cell (purchased one on Ebay, still waiting, RCI 19 gallon aluminum fuel cell)
It’s currently registered as a classic (Horse drawn carriage, in WA state). I don’t have a set of plates for it, so it’s technically not legal to drive it on the road. In order to get it legal to drive on the road, you just need to go to the DOL, and you can get it registered as a normal car or truck. You’ll pay the taxes for the sale price on the jeep for the registration, then you’ll pay the tag and license plate fees (not sure on this). There won’t be any obscene paperwork, and no B.S.
The bad:
The body has “questionable” amounts of bondo, and rust.
The front fenders are some fold-forward setup that doesn’t line up very well.
Engine has a tendency to get warm. The brake booster and Master cylinder that came with it are shot, the booster is bad, and the MC seals are toast. Could be easily replaced from JY, and if somebody is seriously interested in purchasing this, i will gladly tell you the make/model of vehicle you can get the setup off of.
Reason i’m selling:
The funding isn’t really there. I’m a college student, and my budget is getting stretched pretty thin. As of recent events, i’m in the market for a new(er) truck. I just don’t have the time and money to give to this thing to make it what it could be, and i would love to see somebody who has the devotion take it off my hands and turn it into something much nicer than what it currently is.”

“1949 Willys CJ jeep has undergone an extensive frame-off, nut and bolt restoration and is ready for its next assignment. Call Phil at 715-456-0036 for more information.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
(02/22/2012) This looks solid.
“Runs drives and stops, needs a little tinkering to be great. 1951 willys jeep, new carb, new master cylinder, new winshield, new steel spare,new fuel pump, new manifold gasket, good tires, good paint, turn signals, guages work, gas tank repaired, 8000# warn winch, good seats, also have fleece seat covers in the package. no toop or doors tranny slips out in 3rd when you let off gas, needs shift fork adjusted. $4000.00 no tire kickers or BS.”
Both of these are projects.
“Ok, I have two Willy’s jeeps for sale. One is a 1951 and the other is a 1952. Both are projects that have a ton of potential. If you have ever enjoyed watching a late seventies show called “Rat Patrol,” these jeeps are for you! Imagine wearing your U.S. Army fatigues flying through the desert with a dog-rocket in your mouth! That is freedom brother! You and your son or daughter will definitely have an awesome time restoring these fine gems. Just imagine, the best quality bonding time with your offspring as you restore these treasures. When completed you will have one for you ,and one for your teenager. Then its off to the Mountains so that you can train your child on how to negotiate the roughed mountain trails. I cannot believe I am selling you not only these jeeps, but an experience with you family that will be passed down several generations. They will talk about the jeeps that grandpa restored and what an awesome man you were. Wow, what a legacy you will leave! Anyway, I am asking $3,000.00 OBO. I am also open to trades. Guns, Gold, Silver, Pygmy Goats……Call Ned at 602 six one nine 7749 Now, prepare yourself for the time of your life! Also, it’s best not to tell your wife until you have these jeeps in your yard. Trust me, she will be so suprised and excited for your big adventure! Hurry, these deals will not last….I anticipate having to auction them off due to the popularitiy and high demand to own them!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4900
(12/18/2011) The paint is so new it hasn’t been washed yet.
“1950 willys jeep–brand new beautiful paint-never even been washed yet…302 ford small block–headers/flowmasters–4 barrel–top loader 4 speed– 4 wheel drive…dana 60 rearend…rack and pinion steering…all autometer gauges-all work great…33″ tires like new..new seat upholstery…tilt steering wheel…great for sand or mud or just cruising around.”
I don’t exactly know why this turned up in my search today, but what the heck. I’ll post anyway. It is supposed to be Jewel Stainless, too. At least one conversion calculator puts the price of this at around $2400.

This might be worth a look.
“1953 flat fender willys jeep # 453 GB1. Clear title. Jeep hasn’t been driven in many years but it ran when parked in covered carport. The starter disengages as soon as it tries to start like the starter solenoid needs to be replaced. It needs a battery also. Clear title in hand.
Cash works best, I don’t need anything but I might trade if you had something I liked? 559 696 7582”
http://fresno.craigslist.org/cto/3148928209.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700
It hasn’t run in fifteen years and is missing parts and they want $2700? I know it has been hot down there, but really?

UPDATE: Was $2900. **SOLD**
(12/26/2011) At some point this needed a rear seal. Unclear if it still does. This has the aftermarket angled dash I’ve only seen in some customized california jeeps.
“1953 willys cj 3a has a ford 4 cylinder and power steering, blazer bucket seats, fuel cell…………..need to sell make an offer……$2,500 obo!!! make an offer, need to sell!!!!! “

Looks good from the little I see.
51″ Flat Fender Willies, V6, New Interior, New Paint. Must come out and see, Seriuos inquieries only. Please only contact by phone,”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Unclear just how much value is here.
“As is not running”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
The body appears to be a little rough, but hard to tell just how much given the paint job.
“The jeep has a 350chevy motor! Runs great! Four wheel drive, original runing gears has 15″ mudders! 3000.00 or best offer. Jeep is an awesome hill climber and would be great for any hunter! Welcome to come by an check it out! ”
I’m guessing it has been a while since this won trophies. Looks like it might have been nice at one time though.
“350ci built Chevy engine. Fulie heads, Edelbrock torker, Holley, fender well headers, Turbo 350, custom Dana 44’s front and rear with 4.27:1 gears. Posi front and rear. Full cage, Deist 5 point harnesses, dual batteries, Ground Hawg tires. Has won many trophies for show. Very fast! Unbeaten off-road.
Now the bad news: the jeep has been siting for several years. Has rust, and occasional glitch in the transfer case (jumps out of gear once in awhile.) I think it is a linkage adjustment problem. Transfer case was rebuilt approx. 50 miles ago. With some TLC, this jeep could be one of the best in the State, as it was 20 years ago. If you are mechanically inclined, and are looking for an awesome project, this may be for you! I have over $20K in this machine. Now it just sits in the yard. Asking $3,800. Would consider trade for small pickup truck.

This looks like a solid restoration.

http://westernmass.craigslist.org/cto/3139537991.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $250.
Looks like a good price on a PTO.
“Braden PTO: Made by Braden Winch Co., Model cj-100. The output shafts are for front or rear aplication. W/ shifter. Bolts to back of transfer case. For willys cj2a, cj3a, cj3b. see pics.”

http://redding.craigslist.org/pts/3140713628.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1300.
The seller lists this as a 2A, but looks to me to be a 3A. This looks like an excellent project for the price.
“I have a 1949 Willys Jeep available for sale. It runs, but the fuel pump needs to be rebuilt (we were able to confirm that the engine is good by delivering gas straight into the carburetor). It also currently does not have brakes, although I have a brand new master cylinder and brand new wheel cylinders to go with it–these parts just need to be installed. It comes with a snowplow, but the hydraulic system for it needs to be overhauled. My grandfather found the Jeep in a salvage yard a number of years back and brought it back to life so that he could use it to haul wood around on our family farm. However, he passed away several years ago and the Jeep hasn’t been used much since then. This is a good project Jeep–everything is there; it just needs some work to get it back into good condition, and we don’t have the time to put into it. We will be demolishing the farmhouse and garage where it is currently being stored, so we’re forced to get rid of it. Other issues I can see with the vehicle: the windshield is cracked, the cooling system probably needs to be flushed, and the interior needs reupholstering.”
Looks nice and comes with a Bobcat hood, but a better description would help.
