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 .

Lots of rust here. I’m gonna guess this is a CJ-3A only based on the windshield (but that’s hardly conclusive).
“I have what “experts” have told me is a 1949 Willys CJ-2A. This thing is in rough shape. It was my grandfathers, one of those projects we would get to next summer, if you know what I mean. He left it to me and it’s sat in my garage for a couple years now. I lack the money and the experience to complete this project on my own, and I have finally brought myself to part with it. The engine starts, but won’t idle properly and the body is shot to hell. The tranny is solid as is the frame.The pictures show it without the top or the hood, both of which go with it. You can see the overall condition from the pictures below. There’s a lot of rust, all but one tire is dry rotted (though the spare looks passable). This is a fixer-upper, don’t expect to drive it out of here. The buyer must arrange for transportation.
Email me or text/call 740-317-7020. Leave a message with your number if you don’t get an answer. Feel free to ask any questions or request specific pics. $1000 OBO”

New front and rear seals, added all new gauges, except the speedo, also a new tailpipe, muffler, gas tank, front bumper, and new tires and rims. This is a nice jeep, its not perfect but, it easily could be.”
This looks like it would make a great restoration project.
“Here is great deal on a classic Jeep. I hate to sell it, It was a project for my son and I but I just got laid off and need to sell it. The Jeep runs great. New coil, fuel pump, spark plugs, clutch, brakes. Muffler, overhauled engine and the clutch was put in 2 years ago and about 500 miles since then. Only used it to get icecream with the kids. Planned complete restoration but other things have happened. Been converted to 12 volt. Its great driver now. The odometer says 4500 but its alot more!. Tons of extra parts!. Look at the pictures and see. Extra clutch that was sent to me by accident, new electrical harness, fuel tank, starter, gasket set, Front seat cushions, engine parts, manuals, parts catalogs electric wipes, new carb, a almost new set of tires. Military tires on their now which are in great condition. The top is in good condition, Not installed. The frame is in EXCELLENT condition. Very solid. Body is solid too with minor surface rust. Needs a few things. The foot starter button needs a new mounting flange but is still woking. Turn signals and gas gauge not working. Starting the Auction off at $2500.00 If you buy it now at $5,500.00 I’ll throw in a 36″ Sheet metal shear, 24″ Diacro hand break, A diacro turret punch and the hypotherm plasma cutter. All that you can see in the other Auction Im putting up in a few hours. Everything you need to do a complete frame up restoration. Must be picked up.
****** I got several questions regarding if there is “rot” and about rust. I was a metal fabricator for 14 years and a certified license aircraft mechanic. There is slight surface rust not metal rot. The back seat is faded and starting to rot but the metal pans are solid. I included 2 new pictures of the dash and floor.”
This poor jeep. I don’t see much salvageable.
“here is a 1945 willys military jeep that was titled in 1951. back then military jeeps didn’t have titles. If you bought one back then it could be titled when registered. It does not run anymore ( motor is stuck ). The body is rusted bad but it has the original drivetrain . 500.00 obo”

This might be a solid jeep. I’m wondering if it is actually a CJ-3A

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3400
(09/21/2010) The price looks good on this stock CJ-3A with a body extender. This will only be available ’til October 6.
“1951 CJ3A WILLYS JEEP, BODY IN GOOD CONDITION, RED, 4 CYL. 3 SPEED, 4WD, THIS WOULD BE GREAT FOR RESTORING SINCE BODY IS IN GOOD CONDITION, OR TO BUILD UP FOR A TRAIL JEEP. I DON’T HAVE TIME TO PLAY WITH THIS JEEP, IT NEEDS A NEW HOME. IT RUNS TWICE A YEAR: WHEN I GET IT OUT OF STORAGE AND WHEN I PUT IT BACK IN. IT HAS SPENT THE LAST 30 YEARS OF ITS LIFE AT 9,400 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL. HAS A TOW BAR, A USEFUL LITTLE PICKUP BED BOLTED ON THE BACK USING THE ORIGINAL WILLYS TAILGATE. IT HAS A NEW GAS TANK, COIL, DISTRIBUTOR CAP AND ROTOR. IT NEEDS NEW TIRES AND A BATTERY. IF YOU PURCHASE THIS JEEP, YOU WILL NEED TO PUT IT ON A TRAILER OR FLATBED SINCE THE TIRES ARE VERY OLD.”

With great remorse I am selling my 1953 Jeep Willy’s CJ-3A. This jeep run’s great and is in excellent condition. I am sad to see her go!

I am firm on the price and please serious inquiries only.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
There might be some value here. The rollcage looks pretty good.
“Here is a 52 willys cj3a jeep. Have good windshield frame. The frame is solid . The body is shot. Have lots of parts if you need. The title and vin plate is good and is in my name.”
Brett spotted this potential deal. If this runs, it’s a steal. This could be a 1947 Lefty CJ-2A that was accidentally titled as a CJ-3A (the CJ-2A page forums mention this happening a few times). That said, just to confuse us a little more, it almost looks like a front bow holder sits just above the gas inlet.

‘1950 Willy’s CJ3A; Runs excellent; New Tires, New 6 volt battery, New Carburetor, New Brakes. These old jeeps are hard to come by! The floor pan is solid but the body has some Bondo. The running gear and motor are in good condition. The jeep has a 12 volt winch on it but the winch battery needs to be replaced. The jeep would be a great one for a restoration project or a hunting vehicle. 3 speed with a super low granny gear that will climb any hill on the mountain. Towing fork on the front for hauling it to your favorite hunting spot. The Jeep is registered for road use.”
This sounds interesting. It includes a rebuilt motor.
“Motor has been rebuilt, detailed and put back on the chasis, tranny is back on the chasis, new 2 inch lift springs included, mainly just needs to be reassembled. orig NDT rims and tires”
