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 $9500
It’s pretty rough for the asking price.
“All original CJ3 runs and drives excellent no problems.”
UPDATE: Still Available. Price went up $300 to $7500. It’s been available for a year.
I like the engine (in terms of everything appears neatly organized) and the color, along with the fresh loooking body, but that 5.0 still looks to be backed by a t-90. Given the apparent lack of additional major mods, I’d say this price will drop. Paddle tires included.
” 1950 Jeep Willy, Rock Roller, off-road, 4×4, completely rust free, all new electrical, new 5.0 V-8, extra parts. Very reliable, orange color. Very Light and cheaper than a Rhino. Will go anywhere: sand, dirt, mud. $7500.00 obo *Will consider any reasonable offer. *Don’t buy a “rust bucket” for $3,000-4,000 when you can own this rust free jeep with a V-8, ready to play! If interested, please call Roy at 310-871-0430 or 818-920-2905 and leave a message or send an email. ”
This seller is selling all his jeep stuff, which includes a running 1951 CJ-3A and a project 1950 CJ-3a. The project jeep was listed for $3000.

UPDATE: **SOLD* Was Best Offer.
It’s a parts jeep. It’s not worth much.
“1949 willys. ran vehicle as a woods buggy. has a very solid frame and alot of good hard parts. got off a kid with broken leaf springs. i changed rear to cj springs and then engine locked up. driveline all seems to work. have willys jeep chains on crap tires for the back also. was running it in 2wd when it blew up. make me an offer.”
This looks nicely stock. Only one pic.
“CJ-3A with rare ag. PTO for mower, etc. $4,200 818-3121”
The rear compartment is covered in diamond plating, so it’s a little hard to verifty the no rust claim.
“Jeep is in good running condition. No Rust. Accept trade plus cash. Please call Angel
760-594-4047”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,500
Lots of great upgrades on this CJ-3A. It kind of has that classic 80s build. It looks like there are two different paint colors on the body.
“350 4 Bolt Main, Muncie 4-Speed w/Overdrive, 44’s Front & Rear, Detroit Lockers, Floating Axles in Rear, Locking Hubs Front & Rear, Tilt Wheel, Custom Gas Tank, 11″ Brakes with Power Booster, Holly Injection. Post Office Frame Box End, Nothing Original on Jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
“1949 Wyllis Jeep CJ3A, flat head 4cyl…this jeep runs and drives just needs some tlc. 2500.00( have been told it is worth more). ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $300
It appears this is either a M-38 body or a replacement body. For $300 it looks like it has a variety of parts, including an almost full cage.
“it’s got a great body on it, very straight. I don’t have the title for it, but it’s a great jeep for parts or whatever you wanna do with it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This looks like it’s been nicely restored.
“UP FOR AUCTION IS A 1952 WILLYS CJ3A JEEP SERIAL # 452GB134066. LOOKS MILITARY BUT ISN’T.ORIGINAL 6 VOLT SYSTEM.L134 MOTOR.
NEW 7.00 X 16.00 NDCC TIRES [NON DIRECTIONAL CROSS COUNTRY TIRES]. NEW MIL. SPEC CANVAS TOP AND SEAT CUSHIONS [M38].NEW IN 1999 STEEL BODY, FENDERS, HOOD, GRILL,WIRING HARNESS,GAS TANK. LOTS OF OTHER ITEMS REPLACED TO MANY TO LIST. RECEIPTS AVAILABLE. REBUILT T90 TRANSMISSION AND T18 TRANSFER CASE ….”
UPDATE: Still Available
I don’t see any major issues with the body. I wonder if it will take much to get it running.
“350 chevy motor, not running, good body, $1000 or trade, what do you have … I am posting for my dad. The best way to get answers to your questions is to call the following number… 931-698-1732 cell. Also, I don’t have any more pics right now. (can get some more this week) ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600.
Note the stainless steel windshield.
“1951 Willys Jeep CJ3A, Pinto 2000 (100hp) motor, T-18 truck four speed transmission (granny gear), model 18 transfer case, 4:88 gears with locking diffs. (modle 27 front and 44 in rear) with Warn hubs, power steering, stainless steel windshield, full roll cage, Recaro style seats, “Jackman” white spoked rims. No papers, sold as is or for parts. $1600.”
Given the windshield appears in good shape, I’d say this is a good price for this parts jeep.
‘rebuilt carb, new head gasket, needs distributer and should run. the tub is pretty rusty but other than that it is pretty decent for use off road or parts. Might consider partial trade for a stick welder, oxy-fuel torch or other welding equipment. “
UPDATE: The price had dropped to $2500. It includes an OD. **STATUS UNKNOWN”
1952 Willys CJ3A. Flat Head 4 Cyl. 3 Spd Manual Transmission with Overdrive. In great shape, runs good. Needs voltage regulator. Runs off 12v generator system. “
Despite what the seller writes, it looks like there’s more than a little rust on this body. But, if the rust isn’t too bad, then this might be a decent price.
“I am selling a 1950 Willys CJ3 for my father. He bought it and did a little work to it but doesnt have the time to restore it(or sell it). It has a clear KY title. The jeep is located in Stearns, Ky, 42647. The Good: runs, drives, brakes work(enough anyway), new alternator, new battery, replaced radiator, new exhaust from the manifold back, tow bar, extra carburator, very little rust(for a 59 year old jeep). The Bad: carburator floods sometimes when you first start it(once its going it goes though), brakes need work(but they will stop you). The Ugly: windshield cracked, paint very rough, hood patched(somebody had a scoop on it), mismatched seats. I am asking $1400.00 O.B.O. “
There’s some mixed and matched parts here. I believe that’s a CJ-3B windshield. I’m not entirely sure what the body is.
“1949 willy jeep.Will make a good hunting vehicle .flat head 4 cylinder 3 speed , it is a factory 2 wheel drive, it runs and drives good, it has a new clutch, looks rough , needs new seat covers,no title ,I will give a bill of sale ,if interested call 325-248-4144 thanks david”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500
This has some great upgrades. It sounds like a strong trail jeep.
“Willys Civilian Jeep 3A with original engine and transmission. Many new parts and upgrades…New radiator, wiring harness/12 volt system, head gasket, disc brakes in front, 11” drums in the rear, shocks and leaf suspension, original oil bath air cleaner, custom tow bar, roll bar and rear tail gate spare tire mount, tuffy console, locking steel fender boxes and trunk, clutch with custom steel linkage, warn locking hubs, detroit locker in rear, Warn PTO winch. BF Goodrich 31 x 10.5 tires on cammied rims to match body, Mastercraft racing seats. Been running Amsoil synthetic lube throughout for last eight years. Custom built as a hunting vehicle. Quiet, dependable, and classic. Must sell. $5500 or best offer. “
This looks like a parts jeep. It looks like it’s been sitting a while. Note the hubs appear to be warn hubs. Maybe there’s some other updates as well.
“This is a willys jeep 4×4 the year is between a 48-53. It has the original 4cylinder flathead motor, high/low transfer case. It would be great for restoring or using it for hunting. I am posting this for my uncle so if you have any questions email me and I will ask him and email you back. I have seen this run and drive. This does not have a title.”
UPDATE: Was $2500. **SOLD**
This is a project that’s a bit expensive for a project.
“1949 Willys CJ3A with 327 Corvette engine – $3,000. This Flatfender will make a great project vehicle! The 1968 Corvette 327 engine (Holly 4 barrel) is not running and probably needs a rebuild. Includes Bikini Top and parts for a full roll cage. The tire sidewalls are cracked so bring your trailer.”
This is a rough, but running CJ-3A. This looks a pretty decent deal.
“Willis jeep original flat head 4 cylinder engine. Engine runs great! brakes need repair. This Jeep has oversized drum brakes (the original brakes are included) master cylinder was just rebuilt new flex lines on the front. the electrical system has been converted to 12v (except the starter) the charging system is an alternator. I have new motor mounts and a new oil filter also a carberator kit.”
This looks like an aftermarket body, so it’s probably in very good condition.
“This is a 1950 Willys CJ3A Jeep. This belonged to my father-in-law, he was a car collector and has now passed away. I am now the owner and will try my best to answer your questions. It is almost entirely original. I put a new gas tank on it also a new carburator, tail pipe, muffler and a blinker switch. It runs great, approx. 50 mph. Four wheel drive works and both high and low range work. All the gauges work (oil pressure, gas, watertemp, amps and speedometer) the odometer does not work. All the lights work(high-low beam and left-right blinkers) Has a rear hitch and a spare tire as the pictures show. The paint does not appear to be original. I would love to keep her but I don’t have the time to spend on it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
It looks good. There’s a thorough explanation by the seller.
“You are bidding on a 1951 Willys CJ3A that has been body on frame restored by JaxJeepOnline. The body was in great shape for a jeep of this age when I got it and only had surface rust areas and 1 very small area that was rust damaged. Sheet metal was used to fill the areas. All parts that I applied are OEM or NOS parts. I replaced the front grille. The seats still have the original pans and springs in good condition. Turn signals have been added and the original 6 volt configuration has been maintained in case the buyer wishes to go further with a resto and keep it as close to original as possible….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1750.
This doesn’t run. It apears to have some rust along the side of it.
“I have a 1951 Willys Jeep for sale. It does NOT run. It has the original flathead 4 cylinder motor. Manual transmission. 4 wheel drive. Half cab with doors are included. Would make a great project! Interesting trades considered. Asking $1750 No e-mails”
Probably not much value here, but I’m sure it was fun in it’s day.
“For Sale: Willy’s Jeep, Built for mud run, does not run, 289 slant plug heads, nitrous bottle, Call Jordan at (660) 238 1173”
The pictures show the jeep is all together, but from the seller’s comments I think it is still apart?
“I have a 52 Willys Jeep Started restoration but never finished. It has a Ford V 6, Holly two Barrel, Hooker Headers, MSD ignition,new bucket seats, after market dash, Just to much to list. Come take a look you will be astounded on how great it looks for a 52 A light rust spot on the right rear corner panel. Had it the last 20 years never Sat out side always in my garage. Topper is in perfect condition. Please Contact me at (303)978-1083 Will not respond to E Mails so don’t try. Mark”
