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 $400.
There could be value here.

“Project CJ3A for sale. Purchased 3 years ago and have restored it a long way from what it was. Still not road ready, but runs very well and brake system completely redone.

Engine is not original to this 3A. It is from a 40’s MB. Continue reading
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $4600.
This might have dry gauze air filter on it.
“Very clean Willy’s Jeep with rattle can olive drab paint job. Runs very good and everything works. Has a bimini top, gas can, rear seat, seat belts, and power steering! Previous owner installed power steering and upgraded the motor to a ’53. Diamond plating in the back seat area and a winch. Odometer says 6830, but surely that isn’t accurate.”
Looks in good shape, but isn’t original nor likely military (maybe a gov plate on it).

“Willy’s Jeep for sale. Purchase this Jeep and take it out off-roading immediately or take some time restoring it to your liking. If you’re looking for a jeep with no scratches, dents, bondo or rust, this isn’t the jeep for you. If you’re looking for a jeep to take out on the trails and not worry about scratching it, or if you’re looking for a restoration project, this is it. This jeep has been upgraded with a Dana 30 open knuckle front differential with a loc-rite locker, Dana 44 rear differential with posi-traction, both have 5:38 gears. The transmission was recently rebuilt and is tight. This jeep has a strong Buick 225 V-6 engine giving it plenty of power for those difficult climbs. It also has power steering and the tires have great tread. I have had the jeep for 20 years and I am just not using it any longer. I also have quite a few spare parts that will go along with the jeep.”
Has some updates. Seller really hasn’t driven this much.

Doesn’t look all that ugly to me.
https://maine.craigslist.org/cto/d/1949-willys-jeep-cj-3a/6573050052.html
“I have decided to part with my stock workhorse driver 3A. This is a great “drive-it-like-it-is” rig or a perfect candidate for a body tub kit.
It’s ugly but a very solid driver. Most of the work you usually have to do when you drag home an old Jeep has been done.
I routinely drive this Jeep on 150+ mile day trips without issues. It’s seen off-roading adventures at the NH Trail Ride and Rausch Creek, PA. Used but not abused.
The Saturn overdrive allows easy cruising speeds of 55 mph or better. I pulled the original 3A motor and replaced with fresher, stronger MB motor out of a genset. I will include the original motor with the sale if you want it. I will also include a fully functioning period correct Scheneker snowplow with Hy-Lo pump, a worn but functional vinyl BestTop and doors, and a bolt on roll bar.
Probably has an f-head.

“4 Cyl. 12volt. Warn model-8274 Winch. Biminy top. Have frame and doors for full enclosure top.
Used for hunting, fishing, trail blazing, camping, exploring and puting around the neighborhood.
Runs strong.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
Part DJ-3A (body/top at the very least) and part CJ.
“I have a 1950 Jeep Willy’s hardbody no motor or tranny but the frame is solid and the body is not bad at all”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,500
A reader shared this nice looking 3A. It’s got a few updates.
“I redid this Jeep a few years ago and have decided it’s time to sell.
New steel body kit.
Rebuilt Dauntless 225 V6
New Best top
Rebuilt drive train
Everything else new or redone”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1250.
“1946 Willy’s Jeep with Subaru motor and chassis. A great project car that also runs.
We have more spare parts and extra tires and wheels too – all included.
Currently has a dead battery from sitting over the winter. We have used this on our property as a “mule” cart.
It is not titled, but I just called DMV and there is a simple process to take care of that to make it street legal.”
This could be a good price. Includes an overdrive and PTO.
https://wyoming.craigslist.org/cto/d/1951-cj3a-willys-jeep/6570214225.html
“I am on the fence about posting my favorite vehicle ever…….but its time for me to move on to other things. She’s still running a 6-volt generator system, she has the original style flat head 4 cylinder, T-90 transmission, Dana 18 transfer case with an overdrive, and I also have a pto to go with her just the gear box that attaches to the transfer case and a original style top bows and door frames. Just need to have the original canvas top made.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1850.
Runs.
“1951 Jeep Willys
Project Time! Yep, rusty. She is a 1951 Jeep Willys with a good running motor. I do not have the time or the money to do it right, so I want to send it off to a new home where she will get the love she needs.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
I’m wondering if this was a DJ-3A body. The “side stripes” are right at the location where the large opening bodies had their slant. Factory T-86? Lacks an engine.
“Solid rust free body and frame. No engine, but it does have the original factory T-86 3-speed transmission and transfer case. This was running a small block Chevy until it was removed earlier this year for another project. Included with the sale is a set of sbc headers and the motor mount plate so that a sbc could be dropped in and bolted right up. This Jeep was a runner up until this year, so it won’t take much other than a motor to have this up and driving. I have the title in hand and it’s clean, clear and in my name.”
UPDATE: Rick reports he has seen this listed at $3500 elsewhere.
Seller’s description” “Willy cj2b”.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4250.
(08/25/2017) Has some updates.
“1949 Willys Overland CJ3-A
Free and clear title- newly assigned state vin number, original vin tag was gone.
3 Stick Trannie/transfer – T-90 / Dana 18 as far as I can tell.
Early 90’s 305 SBC from a Camaro, according to the casting numbers, I was told, besides the cheap walmart battery, which is mounted in the rear, the engine starts and purrs great. I rewired the majority of the Jeep with Weatherpack connectors. Part of the reason I am getting rid of it is because, I am more of a blue oval fan, which would have been much more gentle on the firewall (distributor would have been in the CORRECT spot!) and if I did keep it, I would surely destroy my perfect driving record, well at least for the last decade. This Jeep has a s@#$load of power and should not be taken likely!!!

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7900
(04/16/2018) Interesting hood design.
“377 cubic inch stroker motor pro built.high and lowrange transfer case. 400 hp quick 19,034 miles all new or rebuilt.”
Not sure how much value is here.
https://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/cto/d/jeep-cj3/6564674495.html
“Don’t make me turn this into a yard art planter. 1952 Willys Model I believe, but with a slightly later F134 OHV Hurricane engine. Pto transmission.
Drivetrain is complete – interior is your open canvas! No serious rust, very solid. I do have two foldable seats you can also have if you like. Thought I wanted a cool project but then reality caught up. I did get it cleaned up and running – sounded great – but just don’t have the facilities/tools/know how at this time to continue. Wishful thinking! NO TITLE NO TITLE NO TITLE! Call/text or come have a look but please don’t waste my time. There will be no email/internet nonsense, cash in person only.”
