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 .

“jeep cj 2a this is a jeep for a restoration, it needs a lot of work on the body floors are bad rear corners are bad and windshield are bad. hood and grill as well as fenders are ok.. It has 2 motors with it one is in it and it is locked up , but the other motor is complete and it comes with a generator/alternator flywheel ,water pump and all pullys it turns free, but thats all I know of it I have never had it running. I bought it as a project for me and my son but the interest has died off so its time to get rid of it. The running gear seem to all be good diffs front and rear as well as transmission and transfer case. I only have one pic as of now but if you need more just ask and I can email them or you can come see it in person..thanks…Rick.”

(12/17/2010) This looks like a nice rebuild.
“51 Willys Jeep totally stock running gear completely rebuilt and replaced from the pressure plate to the tips of the axles. 3 speed transmission, transfer case and both axles have been completely gone through and rebuilt with 11″ brakes added and firewall mounted brake pedal. I have $4000 worth of receipts from Back Country Products for the running gear rebuild. This Jeep is all about Nostalgia. The motor is a 1955 Corvette 265 small block Chevy – very rare only 700 Corvettes built in 1955. This motor NEVER HEATS UP even in our hottest weather, wish I could say that of the street rods I have built. With an Enos wiring kit, batt relocated in the rear, nice bucket seats up front with driver seat adjustable so any size person can drive comfortably (I’m a big guy) a custom rear bench seat with 3 sets of lap belts for the grand kids, Corvette chromium yellow paint, a black and white striped bikini top and you begin to see this thing is for show and go. In 6 years since this project was completed I have put exactly 512 miles on it. All hauling kids over to 7-11 for slurpees – well its not far to 7-11. Always garage kept and never once taken off road, that’s why it looks the way it does today. If you don’t want to have people point and stare this is not for you. This thing draws as much attention as my street rods (had two motorcycle cops pull along side and talk Jeeps at a stop light today). This thing pulled the Bonanza High School freshman float at their homecoming this year. I am out of room and want to go off roading with my son and his rock crawler, my wife won’t lend me her Toyota Four Runner for such foolishness. It would be a sin to cut this up into a rock crawler. While it will do off road anthing and more a 51 Willy was designed for I am looking for a more aggresive off road rig and just can’t bring myself to start with such a beauty that is doing what is was built to do. Asking $5800 or trade for more aggressive off road vehicle or a Polaris Sportsman EFI. I don’t have to sell and I don’t have junk so don’t even go there with your offers. Don’t tell my grand kids… boy am I in trouble. Serious persons can call Gene 702-379-3980

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
This looked pretty good until I saw the paint job on the engine. It looks like someone just painted the engine, with all parts attached.
“YOU ARE VIEWING A 1951 WILLYS. TRUE MILEAGE IS UNKNOWN. CLEAR TITLE! THE 4 CYLINDER ENGINE HAS BEEN REBUILT. TRANSMISSION HAS A NEW CLUTCH, PRESSURE PLATE, AND THROWOUT BEARING.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
(11/10/2010) For $3000, given all the upgrades, this appears to be a good price.
“1949 cj3a to many upgrades to list 4.3 ltr chevy v-6 hei, 4bbl,fender well headers sm420 chevy 4speed spicer 20 t case ,dana 30 front axle with disk front breaks with reverse spring shackles and axle truss like new 33 1050 wild country tires”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $650.
This is a rough CJ-3A.
“Selling a 1952 CJ-3A. I bought to use as a plow jeep for the parking lot but no longer need it. It runs and drives. four wheel hi and low work. Brakes dont work. The insulated aluminum artic top is in great shape. There is a dent in the back corner, the window glass is all intact and the windows slide open easily. There doesnt appear to be any cracking that I can see at the corners or roof which is common. The data tag on the drivers door can be clearly read. The tool box bottom has a sheet of aluminum over it so it looks better from above than underneath. The tub is in very rough shape. It comes with extra parts shown in pictures.”
It is pretty custom.
“This is a 4×4 Jeep Willys. Built from ground up! Completely rebuilt 318 Dodge. 4 Speed with a Dana 18 Transfer Case. Dana 44 Front and Back. 456 With Lock Right.

UPDATE: Was listed at $2995. It is likely sold.
This looks in good shape for the price.
“1952 Willys Jeep, 1952 CJ3A, runs good, fiberglass body and hood looking for a good home”

I’m assuming this doesn’t run?

(11/14/2010) I think that’s a fiberglass front clip? It is basically a buggy.
“this is a custom buggy body on a 1960 willy jeep chassy was working on making a really cool rock crawler but ran out of money it runs needs little things to make it a good vehicle not for street just off roading comes with 4 off roading tires i am asking 700 obo please call 928 486 5004 call for any questions or want to come look at it in person.”
http://mohave.craigslist.org/cto/2118189312.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
The price appears good, however the engine, though running, needs to be replaced for some reason. Also, I would check out the passenger side entrance as it looks either dented or bondoed (or both).
“This is a super cool 51 Willys! This old jeep would be a great project to restore to its glory days! Engine will run, but will need to be replaced.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $55,000.
(03/10/2010) “This rare find — a completely handmade, completely stainless steel Jeep — was commissioned in the Philippines in 1981 and custom built by then-President Ferdinand Marcos. It was later purchased by a well-known national television news correspondent, who then had this one of a kind Jeep shipped back to Los Angeles. It has never been driven. With less than 10 miles on the odometer, this classic style “Eisenhower” Jeep is a vintage car collector’s dream. The exterior is like new; it’s been protected in a fully-covered, temperature-controlled garage since its trip to the United States. To our knowledge this is the only Jeep of its kind in the U.S. The brushed-exterior is in supreme condition. The engine is a rebuilt 1953 Willy’s V-8 that needs only minor service. Complete vehicle sold as is.”
You can’t beat the price. I’m sure there is $70 worth of value somewhere.
“I have a 1951 willys jeep cj3a; Roller ( frame , leaf spring, axles, and body ); no floor good project; will trade for something , tell me what you have; call or TEXT 601 668 5181.”
http://jackson.craigslist.org/cto/2109736641.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This looks like a good project, but is priced high given it doesn’t have an engine.
“Up For Auction-This is a 1951 Willy’s Jeep project car. There is NO motor, as it was recently removed. However it is set up for a small block chevy V-8 (283,305,350,etc.). This Jeep is 95 percent complete was driveable prior to the motor removal.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5475
(03/25/2010) This looks like a nice CJ.
“1951 Willy’s Jeep CJ3a. I bought this Jeep a few years back from the original owner. They had converted it to a V-8 back in 1971 or so. Chevrolet 283 out of a Chevelle. Runs and looks great. It has been in storage in my barn for 2 years now. I bought new rims and tires for it and haven’t driven it since I put them on. The top was new when I purchased it and it’s in great shape. It needs a good cleaning from being in storage. I do have the owners manual and prior service notes done by the previous owner. It does have power steering as well.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5600.
(08/20/2010) Looks pretty stock. Something’s been added to the front near the grille, but I can’t tell why.
“This classic 1952 Willys jeep has brand new tires, and I had a mechanic do over $8,000.00 worth of work on it. It has a top, and I have the two doors that came with the top that have not yet been installed. I also have other jeep parts I will include with the sale. It is registered and runs.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
This appears solid.
