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 .

Glenn spotted this one. It’s got an interesting windshield. I *think* I’ve seen one or two others, though last time I looked, I couldn’t find them. The remainder of the jeep looks civilian and, mostly 1946 2A rather than 1951ish.
“Up for aution is a 1951 willys jeep. This jeep has a very rare windshield designed for a cannon. Body is solid. Looks to be the original L4 flat head engine. Engine has not ran in a long time and seems to be seized up, but all drive train seems ok. I do have a new radiator , hoses , and plug wires for the engine.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000
This hasn’t been run since 1986. However, the interior (only pic provided) looks in reasonable shape and stock.
“This is our family’s Jeep! We purchased it in 1955 and have had it ever since. It been garaged since 1986 and hasn’t been run since. That said it ran great back then. The home where it is has to be put on the market so it needs to go when the garage is opened on Thursday, June 22nd. I really don’t want to do the towing, fixing, etc. and then resell it but someone out there I’m sure does! I’ve done some shopping and rusty junk for this year has been selling for $7K and those in great running condition are selling for $25K+. Personally, I’d just like it out of my hair so a decent offer above $7K would be great!”
Looks in good shape.
“1950 CJ3A. Runs great. All original body, mostly original mechanical. L-134 Go Devil engine. Original engine cracked, but saved in the event buyer wants it.
Converted 12 volt. There is still a few cosmetic projects for the collector who likes to tinker.
Overdrive installed.”

It’s a project. It has the gov plate and markings on the tailgate.

(06/05/2017) Craig found this unique wooden bodied 3A. The seller has a sense of humor, calling the jeep “Termite’s Delight”.
“Take a look at this 1951 four-wheel drive Willy’s Jeep! Custom designed handcrafted wood body. Great show vehicle. Vehicle specs: 134 c.u. flat head, 4 cylinder engine. Runs good. Comes with canvas top and side doors. Also comes with a six foot steel plow, electric winch operated. Clean title.”

https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/6172925176.html
Appears worth a look.
“Up for sale is our 1950 Willys CJ-3A, it has been sitting for a while and going to need some TLC. Was running when it was parked a few years ago.”
https://wyoming.craigslist.org/cto/6173181972.html
Could be worth a look. Has some diamond plate across the back (or that’s the tailgate).
“1951 Willys Jeep, with a Ford engine. Jeep is registered with clear title.
Starts and runs, needs throttle cable and brake adjustment. Has canvas top and side doors along with back window. New Battery. Does have basic Jeep rust around braces for front flat fenders, floor boards etc. has been kept inside for last 20 years.
It’s set up for a plow that goes with it. Plow is rough but useable.”
https://albany.craigslist.org/cto/6174794660.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Hasn’t been driven in a few years.
“1950 Willys Jeep, was last driven 3 years ago. Has a clear title. Many new parts and work including:
-Master cylinder, wheel cylinders, brake lines
-Radiator, hoses
-Alternator w/ internal regulator
-Rear shocks
-Cap, rotor, plug wires, coil
-Gas tank, fuel pump
-Seat frame
-Entire floor replaced
-Good tires and rims
Since the Jeep has sat a few years, I hooked up a battery and it cranked right over. But 2 valves are stuck “up”, I pulled the side cover and can see which ones they are. I began removing the head. Once you unbolt the head you can push them up/down to free them up. I have another Jeep restoration taking up time.
Once valves are free this would be a great running project. Good frame, shifts smooth, nice windshield.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(04/17/2017) Bill spotted this project jeep. Maybe someone can use the parts?
“Comes with frame, original tub ,fenders, hood, grill, window,and a newer tub that was started.”
