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 $2500
The price looks good. This has toyota running gear.
“I have a 1949 Jeep with toyota running gear, runs good. Great rig, selling for $2500.00”
UPDATE: **Sold** Was priced at $1400.
“I still have it if the ad is still posted. This is a 51 Willys CJ3 with an F-head motor. Motor, transmission, transfer case and axles were all rebuilt before I got it. New brakes, hardware, and master cylinder were also installed as well as a new carburetor. The engine has not been started. It has lots of new parts. I don’t have the time for it any more and I want my garage back.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000
(04/17/2010) How about those tires? I have never before seen those tires.
“1951 4 wheel drive Willy’s Jeep. Has a 327 V-8 with a high compression Air Research turbo, 2 speed power glide transmission with Teflon bands (built for racing), Also has a 3000 rpm stall converter. Comes with dessert track tires and a set of 13 plus paddle tires. Has bucket seats, roll cage and KC lights. For more pictures please email.”
UPDATE: Tom noted that this is no longer on KSL’s Website (and I confirmed it). I can only assume it sold, but that seems like a pretty quick sale given (only listed one day) the price.
Brett found this mostly stock CJ-3A.
“Completely Rebuilt inside and out. To many extras to list. Very Clean”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
“1952 CJ3 Jeep in very good condition.54 horsepower L head engine-carburetor overhaul on 05-15-09-updated 12 volt electrical system-turn signals-new updated fuel pump-new locking Warren hubs-original service repair manual-two parts catalogs-high lift jack-lug wrench-PTO assembly and winch also available”

(05/28/2010) “Pair of 1952 Willys jeeps-one has a Ford 289 and the other has a Buick V6. Both are in running condition but the 289 jeep needs the passenger knuckle rebuilt. There are no titles but you will recieve a signed bill of sale.They will make great off-roaders or rock crawlers. Buy the pair for $1500 or buy the one with the top for $1000 and the other for $500-you’re going to have a ton of fun!”
This might have been listed previously, but I can’t locate it. It looks familiar. This has a great old winch.
“1951 Willys, runs good. You can fix it up or use it for hunting just like it is.”
http://littlerock.craigslist.org/cto/1800541958.html
No pics provided, but it runs!
“jeeps runs great . fourwheeldrive works. fresh tune up , new fuel pump , u joints , fuel lines and fuel tank . perfect hunting club vehicle. call me anytime at 251- 459-1387.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a beautiful build.
“We recently retired and moved from California to Wisconsin on the Rock River I purchased the Willys about two years ago (California vehicle-no rust). I made a few minor improvements but for the most part it is as I purchased it. When we arrived in Wisconsin I ended up buying a boat and a couple of wave runners for the Grandkids. Running out of room so I have to get rid of some things.
This is a 1951 Willys with four wheel drive that works. It has a 327 Corvette engine, not sure of year. Tires are Steel Belted Radial 32 x 11.50, 15”. Rims are “American Racing”. Has a new Pioneer Radio/CD player, new battery, an electric antenna, and a power wench. Speedometer shows 3701 (not original speedometer) had 200 on when I bought. This is not a show car. Has a few nicks and two spots on the roll bar where the paint got rubbed off (see picture). Other than that, it runs great and is a fun vehicle to drive (very quick). Gets lots of attention wherever I go.”
This is very much a project. Despite what the seller says, I’m less certain that grille is stock. It looks like a MB grille to me. The body, along with the V35U specific data plate, appear to be correct. Here are some pics I was using from the G503as a comparison.
“I am selling a VERY RARE military jeep. Here is an article on them: http://www.cj-3a.com/CJ-V35U.htm
It is a 1950 Willys CJ-V35-U. They made only 1000 of these jeeps for the USMC in 1950. It is factory built using a mixture of MB, And CJ3A parts, and is very very rare. The one that i am selling is in VERY restore-able condition, and mostly complete, and un-molested. It has been stored indoors for several years. This jeep retains a lot of the original, hard to find parts, like: Ram horn tow hooks, Starter, generator, voltage regulator, front seats, pintle hook, Fuel tank, front bumper, bumperetts, tail gate, lower spare tire carrier half, air cleaner, cross over tube, fording exhaust with shroud, head light switch, Transmission locking chain, all gauges (minus temp), two correct windshield frames. NOS voltage regulator, NOS fording tail pipe bracket.
It comes with the following reproduction parts: Upper spare tire carrier, Lift rings, and antenna mount. This is a NUMBERS MATCHING JEEP, the engine is the correct serial number for this jeep!! the engine number is V-10125, and the chassi is believed to be chassi number V-10115. They started production @ number V-10101, so this was #115 of 1000 to be built. It has the correct hood, fenders, grill, body. There is a little controversy over the nose of this jeep, but there are things i can point out that are factory and that no one would have been able to change. It is very early production in a very limited production run. Asking $5100.00, Sorry no trades”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Here’s a couple of parts jeeps.
“I have two willys jeeps for sale. One of them is a cj2a (1948?), and the other is a cj3a (1950?). They both need work, but they were both running when and driving when parked. The picture of the one on the left side has the transmission out for a rebuild that never got finished, the parts are in a box, new clutch, main shaft, gears, etc. It has mud tires that were bought about two years ago, virtually no miles on them. The one on the right was running and driving and bought as a parts jeep. These jeeps have been hunting jeeps for a long time. The bodies have typical rust, pretty decent shape for jeeps of this age. Take two and make one, or use both for you parts jeeps. I do not have titles to either one but will give a bill of sale. I am asking $1500 OBO, for the both of the jeeps. Make me an offer. Thanks for looking.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(10/27/2009) It looks pretty stock.

“51 CJ3A Willys Jeep, PTO Winch, Warn Overdrive, Mechanically Great.”
Dan spotted this as well. No pics provided. This could be a deal.
“I have 2- mid 1940’s flat fender jeeps for sale.. Both have running gears and motors.. One jeep has a pick up cab.. Asking $400.00 for both obo, Rich 370-4015”
No pics provided.
“Complete with extra hood and aluminum doors and extra tires. Lost my job and need the money. Yes it is rusty and most paint is wore off. Was running last summer. This is a project and has no title. This jeep came from Tennesee farm and was never ever titled because TN didn’t require titles. I can help deliver a resonable distance. The price is not negocable. I will have some photos if needed. Will go thru email first.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.

This has a PTO on the rear.

http://boise.craigslist.org/cto/1792624822.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500. Is that a stainless grille?
(06/06/2010) This looks like it has some value. Still plenty of work left.

Brett found this unusually painted CJ-3A. I can’t tell if this is a well executed canvas of trees and limbs or an arbitrary splashing of paint.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $700
(05/24/2010) Besides a restorer’s touch, this needs a restorer’s bankroll.
“1951 Willys Jeep for someone into restoring autos… This guy has been sitting under cover but needs a restorers touch. I am selling this for my landlords.. original asking price was $1500 but the landlord has come to their senses and is letting me sell it for $700…. This fella needs to find a new home asap…. I really want him out of my garage!!!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(04/17/2010) Lots of quality work on this ‘old’ willys. The builder made an unusual decision with the dash. Note the packaging, with the PTO and parts in a suitcase, stuff in mini filing containers, and more. There are a TON of pics to review.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
It’s unclear exactly what the foundation for this jeep is, but the body is definitely stainless. The soft top is unusual too; note the buttons up the side.
