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 .

“1950 Willy’s Jeep Cj3A. Original 4 cylinder engine. Everything in working order. Runs great. Perfect for hunting, fishing, camping, or off road excursions.”
https://boise.craigslist.org/cto/d/1950-willys-jeep/6386854690.html
Runs, but rough.
“Older Jeep CJ3A 1949 to 1953 not real sure of year, but is CJ3A. with plow was parked several years. I got this running yesterday, run good. Changed gas and fuel line and installed used starter and replaced battery and ingnition switch. I know one of the plow operating cables is froze up. I put power to the plow and it lifted all right. No one can remember when it was last titled or where so selling with no title. But I could obtain one but would be another $150 more or sell with bill of sale only. This would make a good plow for the winter coming up.”

Steve shared this ad. The jeep has an older body kit that mixed CJ-3A, M-38, and MB elements.
“Calling all Jeep collectors! Here is a great opportunity to own a fully restored classic Jeep model CJ3A. The Jeep was restored approximately 10 years ago, has been driven just 100 miles since the restoration and has been garage kept since its restoration. The frame and body are in excellent condition. The engine and transmission were rebuilt at the time of the restoration. Since being acquired by the owner the fuel system was replaced due to corrosion from long periods of non-operation. This Jeep is well maintained, looks great and drives well.”
