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: Still Available. This is a 2WD Jeep.

“1951 cj3a with built ford 302 this thing does wheelies! dana 44 rear; 3spd trans; dana 18 t case; 35″ toyos. $7500 obo.”
This looks like a solid flattie with old school steel rims.
“This Jeep is in excellant mechanical condition it is driven every day. This jeep has no rust, but needs painting if desired. For more information contact Ronnie.(276)-694-3865 or (276)-692-6889”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2995.
(09/20/2010) This seller has mower and snow plow attachments. Note the rear PTO. The tub and fenders are fiberglass.
“Good condition. Original flathead 4 cylinder starts and runs good. 3 speed transmission with hi-lo and FWD shifts good. Frame is solid with no rust. Tub and fenders are fiberglass. Hood, grill and windshield are steel. Has hydraulic lift on front and rare pto in the back. Included are a manual angle snow plow, and 59″ wide finish mower that hooks up to the rear pto, a steel half-cab which I purchased but never used, a light duty roll bar, original wheels and other parts. The speedo cable has been broken for as long as I have owned it so I have no idea how many miles are on it. The oil pressure and water temp gauges work. For the past 7 years or so, I have used this cool, old jeep to mow my lawn, plow my 100′ driveway and occasionally ride into town (5 miles) but now I have lost interest and purchased conventional mower and snowblower to replace it. Some work on the wiring for the headlights and turn signals will need to be done to make it street legal again. I will take $3500 for everything for the first person who shows up with the money and I’ll also consider offers for the jeep without the attachments.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
This looks like a good price. For $4000, you can have the jeep plus replacement body part”

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.

****** 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.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $22,000.
Looks nice.

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.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000
This looks in good shape.
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! The Jeep has many new parts including: Body (new tub), windshield, brakes, lights, signal, wiper, horn, and tires. If you are interested and would like additional pic’s please let me know. I am firm on the price and please serious inquiries only.”
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.

Here’s an aluminum flattie body on a modified Ford Bronco chassis. As I mentioned in a post last week, the vented hoods are very rare. I’m not sure if that’s aluminum or steel.
“Unique aluminum bodied CJ2 Jeep. This is a professionally built for off road, but very streetable CJ2. It is a real eye catcher. It features a highly modified 1974 Bronco chassis with 4 wheel disc brakes, dual master cylinders, urethane bushings, power steering, trans. cooler, power steering cooler, etc. It sits on, like new, 35X10X15 Goodyears. Power is supplied by a fresh 351w ford with edelbroch manifold and newly rebulit edelbrock 4 barrel, connected to a modified c-4 trans.and headers. It is an older construction, but is done right! I prefer cash, but will consider a trade for a nice cj or wrangler or ? and cash. ”
Here’s a clean nice rebuild with lots of new parts.
“1951 Willys CJ3A. Complete top to bottom rebuild. Frame, front and back bumpers were powder coated. New tub. All new insterments. Orignal engine, transmission, front and rear differential, all rebuilt. Steel tub. Tires LT235 / 85 R 16. Inside tub has been sprayed with bed liner same color as outside. Minor paint damage under fuel cap.
NEW: Tub, hood, fenders, tale gate, wiring harness, master cylnder, brakes, exhaust, gas tank, fuel pump, rear view mirror, side mirror, windshield, hood catches, head lights, tale lights, clutch, steering bell crank, sterring wheel, radiator, starter switch, electric windshild wipers, updated carburetor, front seat upholstery, back seat, all hoses, belt, wires, tubes, horn button, engine mounts.
About the only things that came on this Willys from the factory and are still on it are- frame, grill, engine, transmission, both diffs, windshild frame, steering shaft and column, parking brake handle, parking break drum, tailgate hinges and seat frames.
I have a spare tire, spare tire holder and Bestop Top with framing and doors for buyer to install. (could not bring myself to drill into body). This rebuild took me 2 years to complete. I have more $ 20k in it. It’s been blast to drive, as you can see i have put over 900 miles on it, but now it’s time for a new project so i have to sell it. Contact me with any questions.”
UPDATE: Still Available

This looks nice. I wonder if it is built on a CJ-5 platform?
“I’m putting my 1957 Willys Jeep CJ5 up for sale. This Jeep is awesome! It has a 327 Corvette motor in it, runs great, Magnaflow exhaust, headers, new gauges, etc. The tires are practically new – less than 100 miles on them. This jeep would be perfect for someone who likes to go crawling, four-wheeling and more. I’m asking $5,000 OBO, or I’m willing to consider trading for an airboat. Call or text if you would like to take it for a test drive or if you have questions.”
