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 .
This looks in solid shape. This has been available for a while, but I am only just seeing it in FB.

“1951 Willy’s. Nice cab, heater, seats. Runs well..ready for hunting season”
This 3A has an interesting hood flap addition. It’s got some springs on the underside to hold it closed (I think). It’s unclear to me what it accomplishes? The seller does not want to ship it.

“1951 Jeep cj3a flat fender. 350 V8 motor. Runs good. Four-speed transmission. High and low range. Four wheel drive. Needs a little TLC. No tailgate. $4,500 OBO. Located in Grand Junction colorado. Will not ship.”
Not a whole lot of value here. Appears to have some Cutlas hubs.

“1949 cj3a. Chevy 350 (38,000 miles) Turbo 400 transmiss Runs and drives”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
This has a 2A body, so the date and model may be incorrect. The wagon/truck/jeepster front clip fits pretty well.

“1952 Willy’s Jeep. Good condition, ready for someone to restore. Have not driven in several years. Does not run but is not seized. I am sure it needs a clutch and some brake work. Great project. Cool little jeep ”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5500.
This looks solid. It’s got a bench seat in the front (as far as bench seats go in a jeep, it looks somewhat practical).

“1953 Cj3a. This little jeep is ready to go. Runs, drives, and stops great. Been on many a trips around town. All lights and gauges work as does the high and low range 4×4. F head engine swap and got a new head gasket last year. Tags current and clear title. Drive it home but don’t expect to go much faster than 50. Asking 6k”
The half cab looks home made to me. There’s a large dent in the driver’s side fender. I can’t tell if the floors have patches or if there is some garbage on the floor.

This supposedly ran before the battery and radiator was removed. I suspect the rear panel was replaced with a non-tailgate panel at some point.

“his is a 1951 Jeep CJ3A. This was my father’s jeep that he partially restored. The jeep yard drives.
Engine runs well but smokes when warm. Possibly the oil control rings are stuck. My dad took the engine out and had it rebuilt but never fully reinstalled. The Jeep sat in the barn for about 10 years without running. Pictures of the engine bay were taken before I put back together with all new ignition components.
Electrics have been converted to a 12 volt system. (started is still 6v)
Fuel tank is currently of of the vehicle, I didn’t want to put gas in the tank and have it sit. Tank looks clean. Continue reading
UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/07/2023) The price doesn’t not include the winch, but does appear to include the Warn OD.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/359162849935326
“Asking $3500.00 OBO without the winch. Engine/transmission/transfer case rebuilt 20 years ago. Front end rebuilt 25years ago. Only put about 1500 miles on it since rebuilds”
Given the windshield and the rear bumper, I have to wonder if this wasn’t originally a Fresno area designed jeep. The interior dash has some custom aspects.

Toms shared this nicely restored CJ-3A. My only two very minor quibbles (given the price) is that it is missing the gutter where the hood meets the body, it’s got an incorrect oil bracket for a 3A (again, minor complaints).
