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 $7000
This appears solid.
“The jeep is registered and current (2014 tags) and vin # it is 190th made in 1951 has been in same family since 1951 CJ3-A (Flat fender) Original Engine 36928. miles
$ 7000.00 OBO, Runs needs, a little TLC”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4300
(10/17/2013) This has at least one military fender. It looks solid.
“The Willys has the original 4 cylinder, runs great and drives good. This is a great hunting or 4 wheeling rig. The body has no rust but does need paint. It is currently registered non-op and does not leave my property and has a clean title. It has front disc brakes/over-drive and hubs front and rear”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5800.
(10/10/2013) This is made up to look like a M-38.
“This is my parade vehicle I used all summer to drive veterans in town parades its a civilian jeep painted to represent a M38 military jeep. I restored this jeep from the frame up the tub was taken to the sandblaster as well as the hood and front fenders the frame was wire wheeled as it was already real clean and primed with POR15 and painted with gillespie WWII olive drab paint. This jeep has five new tires, repro brass data plates, remanned carb, new steering wheel, new master cylinder, new gauges and speedometer, fresh oil and filter, fresh GL1 in the trans and transfer case, new tail lights, turn signals, rear mounted gas tank (no sitting over the gas tank) rebuilt steering links, new alternator conversion, electric fuel pump, 6 volt system converted to 12 volt, new paint, new distributor with electronic ignition, I have all the pics from when I bought it until it was finished I took out the uncomfortable junkyard seats that were in it when I bought it and replaced them with a set of military humvee seats. The jeep runs like a top drives great no popping out of gear but it does have a intermittent high pitched whine at higher speeds I believe it might be in the transfer case but it has never given me a problem I have a spare transfer case to go with the jeep the new military speedometer was put in but needs a new speedo cable to function all gauges work but the fuel gauge the fuel tank was boiled out and checked for leaks the sending unit is good the gauge needs to be replaced with one with a lower ohm value to work with the existing sending unit.”
In 2009 I hauled up a flatfender body from a seller in Boise (where I was living) to Paul in La Conner, Wa. Since that time, he’s been busy rebuilding it. It sure looks good!
Paul writes, “What you see is a conglomeration of what you brought up here several years ago and a couple of “farm/orchard” jeep’s from Wenatchee plus new parts from major suppliers. it looks good, runs good and is “cute”. I have a roll bar I am going to re-configure (single hoop with stiffeners) that I will install for safety reasons and ad 3 point safety belts, no rear seat so no rear belts. It has 15 inch wheels and radial street tires on it now but a friend of mine found five really nice 16 inch wheels at the Monroe swap meet a couple of weeks ago so sometime soon we will add those with new era correct tires to the “look”
Here are the parts I loaded onto the back of a truck in 2009:
And here is how it looks now:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
Looks solid, though not 100% original.

James is regretfully selling his CJ-3A. The jeep was extensively rebuilt by Sam from Flatfender Willys (now in Chino Valley) and Sam says he’ll be happy to answer any questions it should the new owner have any. If you are looking for a nearly stock jeep that really is turn key, this is a great option.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,000.
From afar this looks good.
“I am looking at selling my 1951 jeep willy cj2a in great shape low miles no rust. runs great always keep in a garage.

“I have a 1949 Willys CJ-3A for sale. This jeep is literally one of a kind, and you won’t find another one like it, especially on Oahu. It makes the perfect island vehicle. It runs fantastic, and has too many new parts to list. Breakdown is below.
1949 CJ-3A Body
1970 Buick Dauntless 225 3.8 V6
4BBL Edelbrock Performer Series Carb
4-Wheel Drive
Power steering (makes a great daily driver)
Tires and rims are brand new, less than 500 miles
Brakes have been upgraded to a ’70 CJ-5 10 inch brakes
Entire brake system overhauled, brake master cylinder, drums, shoes, wheel cylinders
Completely new electrical system, plugs, wires, every wire in it is brand new.
Exhaust system removed, overhauled, and repainted with new gaskets
New alternator
All the belts have been replaced
Herculined the entire inside of the jeep
Every bolt that has been replaced is stainless steel and the body was treated for rust
The entire engine was stripped and overhauled.
Safety and Registration are up to date, jeep is registered as a ’44 Ford GPW incorrectly (previous owner didnt know what he was doing) but it doesn’t hurt anything.
One of the coolest things about this jeep is the ability to fold the windshield down and ride. This thing will get up to 80 on the freeway easily. Power steering makes it easy to use as a daily driver.
Depending on if I sell it soon, Im planning on replacing the seats, entire suspension, and upgrading the intake manifold. These things will all make the price go up respectively.
Don’t bother contacting with low-balls. The price is 20. FIRM. The jeep is a classic, in fantastic condition. It is one of a kind literally. You’ll never see another one like it. No test drives without cash in hand or a cashiers check. You will also have to come to me to look at the jeep. I’m not driving all over the island for wheel kickers.”
