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.
It’s been sitting for around 5 years.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
I would not advise a buyer to buy this thinking he or she can make “big money” on it, which is what the seller states. This is listed as a 1950 and appears to be a DJ-3A Body (1956 or 1957 based on the speedo) that’s likely on a CJ-3A chassis.
“1950 DJ MILITARY KOREAN 4X4 CHASIS. FLAT FENDER WILLYS COMES WITH AND EXTRA FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. 235 V6 ENGINE WITH BELL HOUSING ADAPTER TO FIT ORIGINAL TRANNY. DOES NOT RUN BUT THIS IS THE PROJECT TO MAKE SOME BIG MONEY”
UPDATE: Still Available. This is only for the body and parts.
(01/20/2020) The body includes additional parts.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/539638033394907/
Here’s what it looks like when was together.
This is how the chassis looks:
“Hi I have stainless steel CJ3A body for sale complete including windshield and Omni wipers installed with 12v wiring included. I believe I bought Del@OMC last CJ3A from him in Oregon a few years ago before he passed away (rip).
Del owned the factory in the Philippines where they were made and exported to U.S. Great construction his bodies will probably out-last you and I!:) I built it for a EV prototype for a classics EV startup but all future models will use aluminum body out of Canada BC (stretched ~ 1 foot for more legroom up front) so no longer need this body. It’s just been a demo vehicle max 50 miles on it it’s like new see pics (does has vinyl EV stickers on hood those should heat gun off I haven’t bothered yet don’t have the time))”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(08/01/2020) Mark shared this one. Runs, but body is rough.
“Rebuilt hurricane motor 4cylinder 1000 miles,new carb,3speed,manual transmission,clear title,this is a project Jeep that can be restored it needs a new tub&frame cleaned up but you got a good motor & transm,now Jeep is good to run around now it just needs tail lights-headlights work, it just depends what you want.i bought it from a family in Weaverville Nc they had it for years road it around the mountains.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(08/01/2020) The principal item is a CJ-3A, but there’s other items here, too.
https://binghamton.craigslist.org/for/d/castle-creek-willys-jeep-lot/7167552318.html
“CJ2 1950 Willy’s Jeep with the following:
. snow plow
. back seat
. original wind shield
. aluminum top
. 16″ bottom land plow with front weight
. complete spare parts jeep
. chassis frame with all running gear
. 10 kw generator powered by willy’s jeep engine
I am the second owner and have had it since 1976. The first owner was my neighbor so I know the complete history. In 1976 I had 90% of the body rebuilt along with an engine overhaul. I used it in the woods so got banged up a little , for years now only for plowing snow. In good mechanical shape burns no oil. Seems this would be a good lot for someone that would refurbish back to original condition or just use as is around your homestead.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(07/16/2020) Not sure how much value is here.

“1942 Jeep Willys Custom truck. Chevy 350 engine not currently running but I’m sure it wouldn’t take much to get going. Message me any questions. Got something to trade? Send it to me ”
Appears solid, though missing some detail parts.

“1953 Willys CJ3A Jeep, Great piece of America history, gets lots of looks, cranks right up, I have lots of parts, canvas top, oil bath air filter, and seals. Now for the bad, has leaks like all old vehicles and will maybe go 55mph with a strong back wind, not made for speed but will go off road like a beast”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6700. It’s a Szekely APU jeep.
(09/30/2018) Carl and Marty spotted this APU. It appears to be missing the extra gauges, but does have the original data plates, the hood, and the correct engine. The soft top seems to be a Dualmatic, as it has the large square rear window and the two-part doors with snaps (thanks Pascal!).

“Willys CJ2a. Believe it’s a 1950 but not a 100%. No motor, trans, transfercase or driveshafts. It’s rough but original. No title or VIN tags. Want it gone. $500 OBO”
Seller is having trouble getting this started.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/4097279573675539/
“Almost all original. From West Colorado, very minimal rust for 70 years old.
It ran when I bought it, and it ran a few months ago, before I changed the carburetor with the correct aftermarket carb from Kaiser Willys. I can’t get it to start, I think the starter is bad.
It’s not road ready, it’s a project still, but it’s not far away, depending how original you want to keep it.
A LOT has been done to this Jeep, thousands of dollars spent. My loss, your gain, selling it, because planning a big move.
What’s not original:
Carburetor
Alternator (converted to 12 volts)
Seat frames (fabricated professionally)
The body’s floor (replaced with steel plate and steel channels by a professional fabrication shop)
Windshield is new safety glass
**it comes with the rare heater option “
Not sure how much value is here.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $13,000.
This has a replacement body.
“Older restoration, good running and very sweet to look at
Can send videos of it in action if seriously interested”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
This might have a DJ-3A Convertible body on a CJ chassis. While the dash is missing the large speedo, a gauge plate has been installed over that area of the dash. There’s no fuel inlet on the side, but Steve spotted the one in the rear (I missed it). It’s got the correct style of VIN tag to be a DJ-3A.
“Jeep tub has motor tranny axles wheels as in pic
have to be honest not sure if cj1-cj3 which?”
Very much a project. Pinto is a great engine for a jeep, but in my opinion I’d go with the 2.3 for the extra power.
