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 $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: **SOLD** Was $3500
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!!!

“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.”

Project.

“I have a 1949 willys jeep cj3. Disassembled it in 2009 and has been sitting since. Sandblasted a lot of the bad parts of the body and cut out all the rest. Started to weld some plates in and that’s where I stopped. Just haven’t had time to get back to it. I put the body back on to the frame just recently. All of the drivetrain is still in good shape I just got a gasket kit for the carburetor and cleaned it all out. I can show you that it starts and runs. I have the windshield fenders Hood and everything for it. Did have a new exhaust put on it right before it was parked as well as a new gas tank. I do have a clear Colorado title for it. 1200 firm I will not take any less.”
This might just be the least descriptive ad I’ve seen for a vintage jeep. No pics provided.
