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: Price dropped to $6500.
(04/15/2017) I’m pretty sure that is a fiberglass body.

Has a dog cage on the back. Seller notes it will run, but that suggests it doesn’t.
“Barn Find 1952 Willys Jeep all original with bird dog cage and tow bar 4 wheel drive …will run …calls only please $8000 Rick. Will be at Pate Swap Meet on Saturday 29th”
https://dallas.craigslist.org/mdf/cto/6108140378.html
Not sure what value is here.
“2 Willys cj3a Jeeps one roller with trans and transfer case one body only. No motors. Both rough but enough there to make a jeep. Also great for a ratrod. $1200 obo no titles will sell separate.”
https://louisville.craigslist.org/pts/6105937593.html
Scott’s selling this nice looking jeep. It’s title as a 1955, so either it was a CJ-3B/CJ-5 or it was a late selling ’53 CJ-3A.
” Frame off restored/modified 1955 CJ3, nearly all body parts replaced, powder coated frame, new brake lines, new wiring harness, Buick 225 V6, electronic ignition, 33×12.50×15 BF Goodrich AT tires, American Racing aluminum wheels. Odometer shows 750 miles since resto/mod. Completely street legal. $11,000. Scott 409-920-8402 Orange Texas.”
The body is a 20 gage galvanized 3A shaped body.
https://anchorage.craigslist.org/cto/6104651920.html
“1956 CJ-3B chassis with new 20GA galvanized CJ-3A body. New springs, frame brackets, body brackets, Overhauled1968 Chevy 283 cu. in. V8, 2 bbl Rochester Carb w/manual choke. 1958 Chevy BelAire tail lights, LED headlights, NOS TransDapt adapter, new transmission gears, new transfer case gears, new overdrive.
No title. Looks like a DJ-3A Convertible windshield. No gas inlet along the side either.
“Willys CJ3A for sale. Bill of sale. Original drivetrain. 2000obo”
https://greenville.craigslist.org/cto/6107303041.html
No pics provided. Disassembled.
“I have a 1949 Willys Jeep CJ3A. It is completely disassembled. The frame is solid, the tub is not horrible, fenders and hood are good. It has a 4 cylinder engine and all of the running gear. The jeep is 98 percent there. I bought it as a project and have just too many going on. My intentions were to sandblast and powder coat the frame and then just slowly but surely put it together. Since there is so little to these jeeps, it really wouldn’t take that much to do a restoration, or, just put it together and have a running, driving jeep. I have the title in hand, don’t need help selling it, won’t ship it to you in some foreign country or take a check for twice the amount and send you back the change…..”
It’s a project.

“This is a great Jeep needs finishing. Body is a fiberglass body and is the least desirable part of the Jeep although the grille and windshield are original steel. Front fenders and hood were in the process of being stretched but are not finished. Motor is a SBC 350 roller with long tube headers. This goes to a Lakewood scattershield and connects to a Borg Warner Super T-10 4-speed. Has a newly rebuilt Super Dana 18 transfer case which has had the interlock pin removed so you can shift into low without being in 4WD. Rear is an offset Dana 44 that has full float axles with wet hub kit, Power Lok posi, 4.27 gears and upgraded 11” brakes.

“1952 Jeep CJ3A, i have done a full restoraton to this jet, and tried my best to keep everything as stock as possible.
I also have a full shed filled with jeep parts from axles to fenders and gauges
(clean jeep frame for sale also)
All for $12,000 OBO”
Both $4000 and $400 listed. I think $4000 is what the seller is asking, but $400 is probably closer to the real value. Seller will lose more than he thinks …. It also has an aftermarket m-38-like body.
“I got a 1945 jeep willys its been parked since 1995 has a 327 chevy engine muncie 21 rock crusher i got this from someone who owed me 5500 dollars im taking a loss so let me know ur best price !!! ”

Craig shared this ad. Could be worth a look.
“1953 Willys Jeep CJ3A

https://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/cto/6090630135.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
(01/10/2017) Has a few modifications.
“1953 Willys Jeep CJ3a. Zero rust! 3 speed manual, runs good. Brand new tires and wheels, new top. Engine and trans recently gone through. Black on black. Zero bondo, solid body and frame. 4×4
Seller inherited this project. Must sell it.

https://fayar.craigslist.org/atq/6075963999.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500
This has had lots of custom work. The grille has been pushed forward, so the fenders and hood (Bobcat fiberglass) don’t meet at the grille.
“Trail ready flatfender. 289 mustang V8 with racing goodies. Spicer 18T-case. T-18 truck trans. Power steering. Lockers, Dana 44s, warn gear drive winch, YJ springs ride real nice. Full cage. Disc brakes all around. It’s nice , but not too nice to have fun with. Low gears so no highways, I think 5:38. I want to start another project.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6500.
(12/13/2016) Looks like someone opened the hood and began spraying the engine compartment an OD color. The bottom side of the hoses are still black.
“1950 Willy’s Jeep (Civilian) – Runs great – good for parades and shows. Title and registration current.”
https://louisville.craigslist.org/cto/6084429555.html

UPDATE: Still Available.
(02/28/2017) This has an APU hood, which was formerly for sale on its own, but now the jeep is for sale. The jeep itself doesn’t appear to be an APU jeep.
“Selling an early 50s CJ3a parts jeep. It is only good for parts. The springs, frame, and body are all junk. It has a F-head engine with a USAF APU hood. The engine is stuck. The transmission, t-case, and axles all look ok. It has a Fisher plow frame welded on the bumper and a plow pump on the engine. It has good 16″ wheels and lockout hubs. The Kelly hardtop could be saved, it is for a cj-2a I think. $500 firm, cash only in Colchester, VT. Bill of sale only. I can load it on your trailer.”
https://vermont.craigslist.org/cto/6090574161.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3250.
(03/16/2017) Runs and drives, but requires hand signals. It is licensed as an ATV.
“This machine was built in 2005 and was titled as a special construction ATV, it is street legal (currently requires the use of hand signals for turn signals) the power plant/trans are out of a 2004 mustang fuel injected 3.8 V6 with approximately 60,000 miles, it runs and drives great and is mechanically sound, this jeep just needs someone to take the time to finish it and make it there own, it has a custom tow bar and it flat tows great, it has tons of power and is fun to drive, clean title in hand $4000.00 obo’
Price may be good. this might be a DJ body on a CJ chassis.

“1964 Willys for sale. It has a chevy 350 engine in it. Here is the rundown. I have owned it as a project jeep for about 6 months. I overpaid for it (my fault), and paid $4,200 for it, I have put roughly $2,500 into it from parts and paying a buddy (mechanic) to help (not including my own time). I am selling it because I am trying to buy a plane ticket for my girlfriend to go to the East Coast to see her grandma one last time. So, basically I need the money. I am up front and honest about the condition of the Jeep. The good and the bad about it. Ill start with what I have done to it/what is good about the jeep. The jeep does run, and I would say it runs well, but obviously it is not a finished project.
-New radiator
-New alternator
-New battery and battery box
-New fuel tank
-New starter and solenoid
-New battery shutoff
-Rewired most of the wiring
-Updated registration
– Has a soft top, but I have never used it

UPDATE: Still Available.
(03/19/2017) Looks good.
“1951 Willy Fire Truck. Completely refurbished in excellent condition. Fully equipped with fire equipment and hoses.”
https://daytona.craigslist.org/cto/6048698809.html
Look solid.
“I have a 1950 cj3a new body original running gear runs and stops fine extra tail gate and hood newer tires grrreat lil rig won’t last long real nice”
https://hartford.craigslist.org/cto/6088735010.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3850.
The rear wheel wheels have been trimmed some.
“Very good project. New brakes drums and a new hub on one wheel, rebuilt starter, newer gas tank, new clutch pedal, and LOTs of new and used parts that I have for it, that have yet to be needed or installed, including electronic distributor, and a brake master cylinder. Its very mechanically sound. I had the head milled, and put a new head gasket on it. All it needs is a battery charge, and new gas and she’ll run and drive like the day she rolled off the assembly line. I have a mechanics manual for it too. Price is negotiable, however low ballers need not apply. I don’t have to sell it, and its garaged so I’d just assume keep it than let it go for a low ball price. Also keep in mind, its a project jeep, so if you pick it apart and tell me everything you find hoping to get it cheap, I’ll just walk away. I’m not an asshole, but this isn’t my first time selling on craigslist. Call or text.”
