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: Price dropped to $1300
There’s some odd points in the body on the passenger side and I can’t tell if that’s the lighting, rust, or paint. This doesn’t run.
“I have a 1952 Willys Jeep for sale. It has the original flathead 4 cylinder motor in it. It is 4 wheel drive. Comes with the half cab and doors. Would make a great project! Does not run. Asking $1400 Please contact Matt with BMB Auto Sales at 573-424-3144 for more information, Thanks.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
“I’m selling this CJ3a for $3500 firm. I recently put an original style L-Head back into it after the previous owner did a V6 conversion on it. This L-Head is a higher compression version of the original; a Kaiser Supersonic engine. It has excellent consistency of compression between the cylinders. This vehicle also has brand new (about 500 miles) BFG All-terrain 30×9.50-15s.
The vehicle just needs the ignition wired up to start and the exhaust is not installed, though I have all the pieces.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
I always laugh when I see the “it ran when parked” comment.
“This is a WIlly’s jeep that is a project. I just want the thing out of my garage. My husband bought it from my brother five years ago and promised to have it running within a year. Now I just want my garage back. $1200 OBO…price is not firm
When the jeep was parked it was running with the new motor, but it needed new wiring. The jeep does have the hood, tailgate, and door frames…”
UPDATE: Now listed on eBay for $3800
This has got a fiberglass body.
“4×4 fiberglass body with steel grill hood and windshield frame, flathead 4 cyinder, runs great!, will consider trade or part trade for a full sized p/up with 8 foot bed road worthy. some work needed O.K.”
UPDATE: There were two projects, but it appears now there is only one.
“Willys Jeep Project – CJ3A Tub on a CJ5 frame. Tub is straight, perfect floorboards. Brand new Hurricane 4cyl with T90 trans and T18 Transfer. Dana front and rear. Great Crawler project. For more information call (530) 743-7215 or reply by email. $1000 OBO……?”
I didn’t get many specifics on this build, other than it is a barn find that was carefully rebuilt and is located in or near deer park, washington. There are lots of great details on it. Thanks for the pics Michelle!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500
The price on this project will drop. This could also be a rare ’49 CJ-2A.
“1949 Jeep Willys fame and body. Excellent project vehicle. No transmission or engine”
UPDATE: Here’s the ebay listing.
Here’s another great, efficient makeover by Boswell International (catchy, isn’t it?). Jim ought to have this on ebay in the next couple of days.

AFTER:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
“This is a 1949 Willy’s Jeep that is owned by my wife’s uncle. It used to be his daily driver but doesn’t run now. Due to some unforseen circumstances they need to sell this although he didn’t want to. Please feel free to call him with questions or to come look at it and make an offer. This would make a great rebuilder or project Jeep for someone!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“1949 Jeep with trailer. Original body and frame. Fresh GM V6 engine with crane cam, edel brock manifold and 600 CFM carb., AX-15 five speed trans. with OD. New radiator and power steering.

It needs an engine.
“Good title! All there except motor. I have a Buick V6 that I would sell separately if interested.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800
“This is a 1952 Willys Jeep Cj3a. It has the stock 4cyl engine, 3spd trans, dana 44 rear with 11” brakes. The jeep is mostly stock and very clean. This is the good one you are looking for.”
This is Nursey. She has a few bumps and rough spots, but might make a nice little run about jeep.
“This little gem has been in our family for about 30 years. Originally bought by my father who had a private hunting ranch in the Northern Colorado mountains. He purchased it to help climb off road and retrieve their game. He was able to drive it everywhere, no matter what the terrain. Because it is white, it acquired the nickname of “Nursey” because it always turned out to be just what the doctor ordered. It proved itself as a real lifesaver over and over. My father became ill and had to move out of Colorado due to the high altitude. He had to sell his ranch and all the toys, that is when I decided I wanted to buy it because I had recently re-located to the NE Plains of Colorado, and I never had as much fun as I had when I was chasing cows in the pasture with it. My husband and I have owned it since 1996. Now it needs restoration. We had the engine completely rebuilt and it only has about 500 miles on it. It has the original engine and drivetrain, and everything works. Runs like a watch, except the motor needs a new water pump…..”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
Here’s a flattie with some very large tires.
“1951 flatfender (grey, white, black forest camo paint), 231 buick V6 ( just installed, runs great), 4 speed tranny, 38″ super swampers (95% tread), On-board air: front bumper is an air tank w/ quick disconect to run air tools, locker front and back (not sure what kind, I just know from wheeling it it is locked up), CB & CD radio, Dual fuel tanks, 1978 tandem axle trailer (doesn’t look great, but trailer is very solid. I use it every year to haul jeep, 1 four-wheeler, and 1 motorcycle), I would like to sell these together, but I will sell jeep only (make offer). If I sell the trailer I can’t haul jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
UPDATE 2: I stopped to checked this jeep out on my way home this evening. There are corner post holder holes (it’s too late for me to remember what the correct term is) on the rear corners, so I can’t help think the body is a CJ-2A. Though not perfectly straight, the body appears rust free. I saw no rust underneath along the hat channels either. The Data Plate looks brand new.
I wonder what condition the floor is in given the addition of the aluminum.
“I don’t have the money to keep driving this. I would like to keep it but I need the money. It has a Buick 225, aluminum diamond plate floor, PTO winch, mechanical & electric fuel pumps, power steering, overdrive, CB radio with whip antenna, tow bar, and the tires are barely used. I changed the plates to street plates a couple of years ago. I still have the special use plates for it. Cash talks. No trades. No partial trades. $6000.00 OBO. 503-816-2111”
This is one of two 1950 CJ-3As being sold by this seller.
“1950 CJ-3A WILLYS JEEP. THIS JEEP IS ALL ORIGINAL. I BEGAN TO RESTORE THIS JEEP, BUT I NEED TO SELL NOW, MY LOSS IS YOUR GAIN.
THE JEEP IS COMPLETE EXCEPT THE RADIATOR AND SHROUD ARE MISSING ALONG WITH THE HOSES. THE ENGINE HAS SOME PROBLEMS, IT WILL TURN FREELY, BUT I PUT A GOOD STARTER IN AND WHEN THE ENGINE TURNS OVER YOU CAN HEAR A GRINDING NOISE. THE OIL IS CLEAN WITH NO WATER SO I AM ASSUMING THAT EITHER THE RINGS, VALVES, OR BEARINGS NEED TO BE LOOKED AT.”
This is one of two 1950 CJ-3As by the same seller on eBay (Note the jeeps in the background).
“1950 Willys CJ3A Jeep. CJ3A7499. 4 CYLINDER 134 ORIGINAL ENGINE. THE JEEP IS ALL ORIGINAL .THE JEEP CRANKS EASILY, RUNS AND DRIVE GOOD,THE TIRES RE OK BUT NOT GREAT. THE JEEP IS A GREAT STARTER VEHICLE FOR SOMEONE WANTING A JEEP OF THIS TYPE, IT WILL PROBABLY NEED SOME THINGS CHANGED OR FIXED, BUT FOR THE MOST PART YOU CAN DRIVE THIS JEEP NOW WITHOUT ANY WORK.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1250
The seller probably has the model wrong on this.
“1946 Jeep Willys CJ3A. Recently installed 350, in good condition. Recently installed rear brake cylinders. Wiring needs to be finished. In good condition and ready to sell.”
This looks like it might be a good deal. The body and parts look in good shape.
“this is a 1950 willys fiber glass body with 4 cly flat head willys motor it is a three speed very low geard will climb and pull hard its a fun toy to have call phill at 785 217 5077 or 785 597 5100 thanks”
There’s been some unusual customizations to this body.
“This is my 1951 cj3a jeep. im looking for 3000 or best offer. email me and ill tell you all about it and send you pictures. or you can call me at 866-6018”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000
There’s clearly lots of time and money put into this custom CJ-3A. If the model (cj-3a) is accurate, it’s one of probably several hundred. This has some stainless parts.
“Classic Willys, customized with all the extras. Original 1948 body, 225 Odd-fire V6 1965 Buick engine, T18 truck transmission 4 speed 7:1 ratio deep under. Power steering, power locks front and rear. Stainless steel grill and windshield, chrome rockguards, custom Emiron black paint–lots more. Rebuilt “new” in 1983, 9500 miles since and kept garaged when not in use. Over $24,000 of customized extras plus 4 years of labor. A labor of love and it kills me to part with it, but I need the money. No trades. ”
This appears to have a CJ-3B windshield with a CJ-2A body and maybe a CJ-3A title?
“1952 Willys jeep. Would be a great project or hunting vehicle. Runs but needs a new carb. Has recently been converted to 12 volt. Has the flat head 4cly.(go devil)? Comes with tow bar and tows great. The jeep has some rust and holes but could be patched. Comes with a hard top also, and a extra military hood. I am in the process of working on this jeep so price is, as is right now. Call Chuck 719-243-3425”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6000
This seller claims this CJ-3A has an aluminum body. These are certainly rare.
“Willey’s Jeep, 350 V-8, all aluminum body, 2″ Rancho lift, new tires and rims(951) 766-7223”
