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 .

“For sale is a Jeep I shipped from Las Vegas. The Jeep is nearly rust free. It runs, drives, and stops. Lights work. This is fully functional and ready for fun. Clear title.
It was a part of the infamous Phil Maloof auto collection, owned by the tour guide with a mechanic on staff. The collection has been visited by Jay Leno and Pawn Stars. This Jeep sat next to Duisenbergs, Rolls Royces, Lincolns, and V-16 Cadillacs.
-New canvas top, seats
-New tires
-All new oil seals (tranny, tcase, axles) last week
It sat this winter – and could use some carb tuning. Paint job isn’t the greatest. Other than that, this is a very nice vehicle that you can enjoy during the summer. It’s nearly impossible to find an original condition Jeep in the midwest that hasn’t been patched up. The first areas to go are the toolboxes – and this one is beautiful.”
has a replacement body. Not restored to original. I wonder if it’s actually a 3A?

(04/15/2017) Cargo area has a diamond plate floor.
“My uncle has decided it’s time to part with his jeep and has asked me to help him sell it. It is a 1952 willy’s cj3a. 4 cylinder motor, spicer dana 44 posi-trac rear end, t-90 transmission with a warn overdrive. It also has a pto winch. The heater and wipers work. He has had this jeep for along time, at least 30 years and probably longer. He has told me that he rebuilt the motor, painted and undercoated the body since he bought the jeep. He had to have done this sometime soon after he acquired the jeep because I don’t recall him doing anything like that for some years. He is in his 80’s. Anyhow this jeep runs like a top.
I went for a short drive the day I took pictures and it’s incredible to me how smooth everything ran and shifted and also how quiet it was. I didn’t see any rust in any areas other than where your feet sit on the floorboards. The rear of the tub has been replaced with diamond plate, before my uncle owned it. Included are the rear seat and all the bows for a top as well as the door frames. The jeep also has a am/fm radio and a cb radio. I took about 15 pictures which I can send to serious buyers. The jeep is located 2 hrs from my house, so I can’t show it to everyone and will have to plan showings out in advance. Serious inquiries can call. Thanks for your interest. Mike”
