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 $900
(11/16/2010) You know, this deserves a closer look. I think that front looks wide enough that it might be a Dana 30. The cage looks good as well. I’d let the price drop some, but there might be some value here.

Not pretty, but it plows.

This runs, but needs a battery.

Too bad this has the F-head and multiple front turn signals as this looks pretty stock otherwise.

No engine.
“I have a 1949 Willys flat fender Jeep I’m looking to sell. The body is in pretty good shape, not a ton of rust. NO ENGINE, it has both axles, a transfer case for a AMC 304 V8, and transmission. This would be a great project vehicle, its what I had planned for it but I’m just not going to have the time or money anytime in the near future. The steering wheel and column works, it has an instrument cluster, no seats, there is a roll bar, headlights and tail lights are with it. I’m not posting a price because I’m really not sure what its worth. If interested please e-mail me. I’d be happy to answer any questions I can. I’m not a motorhead so if you have a technical question I probably wont be able to answer it. But I can answer any basic questions. I’ll consider all serious offers.”
I found this image on the web at a fake webpage (on of those pages that aggregates a bunch of misc stuff in hopes of getting click throughs). It looks like a pretty cool build. Anyone ever seen it or know any history?
UPDATE: Still Available
(11/01/2010) Check out the defrost system on this rig. Anyone know if this is an aftermarket product or custom? This has a variety of updates.

UPDATE: Brett pointed out there are some tool indents on the side — I gotta agree, so this is probably a 2A of some vintage.
The price looks good.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
The seller of the body has thrown in a running CJ-3A for combo price of $2500. I have to say, I’d really like this combo. I think that’s a good price.
“1952 jeep. runs and drives.comes with new fiberglass body. $2500.00 or maybe make an offer? teach the kids how to drive.family resto project,who knows”
Seller notes it is a CJ-3A with a 2A windshield.

(06/27/2010) It looks like the driver’s side of the body has been patched.
“1949 Willys CJ-3A 4×4 4cyl, roll bar NO tops, good shape, runs great.”
