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 .

“1951 Willy’s CJ3 My grandfather bought this new years ago. I haven’t run it for a few years because it likes to overheat but it did run last time I tried. It still has the original motor. The paint is weathered but the unit doesn’t have any major damage to it. The four wheel drive still works. The front brakes do need some work on them. The top isn’t the original one that came on it. The gas tank would also need to be replaced. The metal gas tank has accumulated rust on the inside. Email me if you want to make an offer. I’ve already been offered $2000 for it. I will not ship the item and will only accept cash for the sale.”
UPDATE: Bill picked up this parts jeep. It turns out this was a DJ-3A with some rare pieces. He is happy he went to look!
The body doesn’t appear too bad. The hood looks tweaked. If a ‘great’ project is one that requires a lot of work, then this really is a great project.

(04/11/2011) The cut of the door really changes the look of this rig. The running gear sounds good.The front springs appear reversed and put over the axle.

(06/29/2010) The seller suggest the engine needs rebuilding.
“This Jeep was stored in a barn for 30 years and has a great body plus a Pa. title. 11″ Bendix brakes and a Hurricane F-4 engine are from a CJ5. I’ve never tried to start the engine because I intended to adapt a GM V-6 during the restoration. Now, I need the garage space and don’t have time to work on the 3A, so it needs a new home. Asking $2500 412-335-0972”

http://nmi.craigslist.org/cto/2326757138.html
**SOLD** Was $500
“Basically all original, but not running. No title.
In my opinion, the frame, transmission, transfer case and running gear are usable for someone wanting a project. Original 4-cyl motor turns over by hand. It was running and I drove it around many years ago. I completely disassembled it in preparation for a rebuild, but lost interest and moved on to other projects. I still have ALL the parts. Instruments, latches and detail pieces were stored indoors. Hood, grill, window frame and tailgate are solid with surface rust. Seat frames are in great shape.
Email me if you want more pics. I think it’s a great foundation for a Willys project.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** WAs priced at $3000
(07/19/2010) “I have a 1951 jeep willys project that I am looking to sell or trade. the willys has a odddfire buick v6 in it that runs good, I bought a brand new rebuilt narrowtrack dana 30 front axle with a spartin locker and regeared to 5.38, I started the yjspring over on the front already but just tacked up, have the rear springs too just haven’t started on that yet, have a lot of extra parts.

This jeep has wood parts? And what is sticking out the front grille? The rear corners on this look a little sharp.
