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 $2200.

“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.

The ticket price of $10.88 makes for a great deal, but note that the body appears to have had some work on it.

“Runs really good, everything works. Not sure on how many miles.”
This could possibly be a late 1948 or 1949 CJ-2A. Either that or it is a 3A with a replacement 2A body.

“I am selling my 1950 Willy’s CJ2A. It is MD titled a 1950 CJ2A even though the 3A came out in 1950. I found this jeep literally in a barn over 5 years ago and have done a tremendous amount of work to it making it road worthy again. It has the L Head 134 “go devil” 2.2ltr engine with a Kaiser Supersonic head on it which I believe added more compression and horsepower. It has the spicer 2 / 4 wheel drive transfer case with 4 high and low.
The transmission is a 3 speed with reverse. I rebuilt the Carter WO carb a few years ago added new fuel pump, water pump. Radiator hoses thermostat and belts. I added a roll bar , grab bar and seat belts. Seat cushions are tan leather. Swing out tire carrier holds spare and a vintage fuel can. I completely re-wired the jeep and added a vintage turn signal to the column. All lights and gauges work. Brakes were rebuilt a few years ago and work fine. Vintage Warn locking hubs. Runs and drives fine”
This looks to have a Ford pinto engine.

“1949 Willy’s Jeep . Running gear transmission clutch and differential is good. Has engine but it is locked . In good condition.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $17,500.
(05/12/2020) This is looks like a true frame-off refurb; it does have a few minor mods, such as updated brakes.
“Here we have a 1949 willy’s Cj-3a Jeep. Vehicle has 2,609 miles since full frame off restoration. Build started 2/3/09 and was completed 11/29/11. Has been garage kept since 2009. All new parts and some N.O.S. parts. Original 134ci. flathead (L-head) engine with .40 over bore. New cam, crank, and pistons. Built by C. Bremmer in Phoenix.
T-90 three speed manual transmission. Dana 18 transfer case with 29 tooth final gear. Dana 25 front axle with new ring and pinion, yoke and spicer style axles. Dana 44 rear axle with new ring and pinion, yoke and full floating axles.
Looks like a solid build.

“Complete restoration, 4.3 v6, power steering, new drivetrain, Micky Thompson T/W. Less than 20 miles on build. Make offer”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
(02/08/2020) I would guess the body is a replacement body. The front roll cage loop rests atop the step. I hope there’s something connected to the frame underneath the step. The soft top looks custom and doesn’t use the windshield channel. It kind of looks like it snaps on the front? No description provided.
