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 $7850.
This is listed as a 1941 and has a replacement body, so it’s hard to tell from the pics what model this might have been.

“Mostly complete CJ3A. The tub is in decent shape although the dash has a large hole where the gauges used to be. The frame is straight with a saginaw manual gear box. It is set up for a buick V6. It does not include an engine but I do have the tranny, t-case, and drive shafts that came out of it, along with an extra set of axles. The floor is not rotted out and and the tub straight. I do have the windshield frame (not in picture). This is a great starter project for a restoration, hot rod, or rat rod.”

Could make a good restoration. The drain holes appear filled.

Tim spotted this deal of the day.
https://cnj.craigslist.org/cto/d/vintage-willys-cj-jeeps/6621402131.html
“Three classic Willys CJ Jeeps. First is a 1951 CJ3A with plow. Ran a couple of years ago and will run again. Title in hand. Next are two 1940s vintage CJ2As. One of those is complete and correct. Have NY registration. All have been outside for a long time and are rusty and rough. Save these from the crusher! A great collection for a project or for the valuable parts that are nearly impossible to find nowadays. $800 takes all. A steal! You move. Must take all three. Will not separate or part out.
Please provide your name and cell phone number if interested in a reply.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $9950.
This has drive train upgrades. It also had a later model jeep rim as an air filter cover. It looks like the rear ends of the body have been lengthened, yielding a slightly different body lines along the rear bottom of the jeep.

“We are selling our 1953 Willys CJ3A. This was to be last falls project that we just have not had time to finish. There are lots of parts here to complete it. When we got the Jeep we removed the body, cleaned up the frame and then started on the drive train. We got a 1995 S10, pulled the 4.3 TBI and wiring harness out. Put a new timing chain, timing cover, oil pan and valve cover gaskets on it and a new water pump. Next we rebuilt the T90 transmission and Dana 18 Transfer Case. Got the GM bell housing with Jeep adapter and new clutch kit. We got all of that back down into the frame. We have two bodies for this project. We have all the original Willys steel parts. Plus a fiberglass Tub, Fenders, Grill and Hood. This already has the saginaw steering box upgrade done to it. Plus some short back seats, heater box, soft top and soft doors. Unfortunately, we just have too many things going on to finish it right now. “
The front frame rails look like they’ve been worked on some. This likely has a reproduction body.

Seller believes this to be an M-38 body, but it looks more like a replacement body. The CJ-3A title is probably correct.

The body looks to be DJ, but the pics aren’t good enough to tell much more than that. It’s still 2WD, but not clear if that’s due to a lack of a front drive line or lack of a front R&P.

UPDATE: **SOLD**
(11/11/2017) It hasn’t been washed in 40 years!
“1949 Willys CJ3A Fire Engine Jeep. This is a Boyer conversion. This jeep is very complete, original, and unrestored. This jeep has less less than 3200 miles on the odometer. Lots of the original accessories are still place. I understand that some of the nozzles are collectible.
The jeep has been in long term storage since it was taken out of service in 1980. The jeep is not currently running but the engine is not stuck. It will turn over by hand. The jeep was driven into the storage building that I found it in. I bought this jeep from the first civilian owner. Since this is an all original jeep, I have done nothing to it. I have not even washed the nearly 40 years of dust off of it. You are getting a very complete and untouched original fire engine jeep here. Continue reading
Has some funky seats and rollbar, but still appears worth a look.
