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 $650.
The seller claims no rust. This could be a good price.
“40 -49 red jeep—4cyl motor—3 on the tree—2wd—been in storage for many years—no rust—will probably run with little tinkering—no title,but has 68 tag”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1100.
This looks like a DJ-3A that has the solid back.
“Ok so here they are together for those of you who looked at my ad for the one before. I now have both in my yard. The complete vehicle has rust on floor and sides. Dont know what model it is. The motor is an F head.that had a new head put on it by the previous owner. It will start for you with some effort but smokes badly. I bought it that way from a friend of mine, got it started and drove it around my yard in 4wheel high and low. Brakes had been repaired but probably need fluid as the pedal goes to the floor. The extra tub also has rust but is in much better shape and easier to repair. The floor is rusted out on both sides to some extent and would need to be cut and new metal welded in. That tub has a tailgate as seen in the photos and is probably a CJ2a or 3a. Chassis only has the axles. No trans. Is a roller. The front hood, fneders and windshield plus grill come with it and can be seen on the flickr site at this link along with other more detailed photos of the jeeps”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
(03/24/2011) It might not take all that much to get this body back to stock. The engine looks nice. The battery location is unusual and not really the best idea.
“Chevy 350 engine with 350 turbo transmission. Recently serviced, new plugs, new fuel cell, new fuel filter, new starter.”
UPDATE: Back on eBay. Colin exchanged emails with the seller and learned this is a very early DJ-3A, as it is the 92nd DJ3A built in late 1955.
This is a nice DJ-3A that was found on the CJ-3B Page.
“Nice clean jeep. No rust… Been in the family scenes the mid 60s . All stock 4cyl rebuilt with only @ 100 miles on it. 3-speed transmission on the column. This Jeep is stock all but tail lights and air cleaner, which I have both to include in sale… 2 Wheel drive…. Great for around town to the post office and back. Hate to let it go must move on…”
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
This is missing a tire and it looks as if the rear of the body is twisted.
“1962 Willy’s Jeep DJ3A. Barn find. I found this jeep and the body is in good shape for a jeep that is 50 years old. It’s got a few dents and dings, but dosen’t have near as much rust as most do. I had planned on fixing it up someday. The Jeep starts and runs, but it has no sign of brakes at all. The jeep dosen’t come with a battery. I now need money and have decided to sell the jeep. I have a clear title to the jeep. Buyer to pay $500.00 deposit at end of auction and balance within 3 days.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
(09/12/2011) I don’t see too many hoods bent in that shape. I suspect there is a story there …. This might be a good price.
“1958 willy’s jeep dj3a.

This is listed over at Hemmings.
“A full and complete body off frame was performed several years ago with a “cost no object” budget and completed the same way a high caliber major concours classic would have been done.”

UPDATE: Was $600. **SOLD**
(07/20/2011) The seller lists this as a ’42, but I”m not sure there is any ’42 here.
“1942 Willys Jeep, 4 Wheel Drive, Original 4 Cylinder Flathead Engine. All Running Gear, Original Extra Engine & Transmission, Extra Complete Front & Rear Running Gear. Has Not Been Started in Years.”
This appears DJ-3Aish to me. This is probably a mish mash of parts.
“I have a1942 willys for sale or trade.It has a 1958 four cylinder in it that smokes but runs. all the drive train is there and in good working condition also have another motor tranny transfer case and both rearends.lookin to trade for dune buggy quad or ?. let me no what you got or make offer.seven two four 366 9850 texts thanx for looking”

That’s unusual windshield. I think it is the stock windshield, but modified?
“I am Selling my Rare, 1957 Willy’s DJ-3a (Not a Typo!)

Here’s an unusually modified DJ. It might not take a whole lot to change it back to original.
“1959 DJ willys , this was originally a delivery jeep when first manufactured ,this jeep has been modified with adding 4wheeel drive axel in front ,and closing in door openings at bottom . their are two seats for the front only one shown in pictures . I have original top but it is not painted to match rest of jeep, their are no doors that come with it. flat head 4cylinder runs great and transmision and brakes work perfect. new super swamper tires and nice aluminum rims. $3750.00

A 1940s DJ?
“One 1946 Willys CJ2A runs and drives great ready to go with an 8,000 lb. Ramsey winch and new tires. This is a rare Jeep with column shift and all numbers matching, all tags in place. Four wheel drive, low and high range all work. Everything on the Jeep works but the speedometer.
One 1948 CJ2A tub, chassis, motor and all drive train except axles which I have and go with jeep so this is a complete Jeep.
One 1940’s CJ2A tub, chassis, and all drive line except motor which I have and goes with Jeep so this is a complete Jeep.
One 1955 CJ3B complete Jeep.
One 1940’s CJ2A tub, chassis and drive train everything for another complete Jeep except motor.
One 1940’s DJ2A tub in great shape, this is a rare tub for a DJ because its left hand steer. Several extra frames, grills, fenders, tires and wheels, engine parts, manuals, etc. more parts than the pictures show. Everything goes as a package deal, I will not sell separate.
If you are a Jeep person or want a great project vehicle this is a great deal. All could be sold separate or parted out for more money on ebay or something but I don’t want the hassle. I am getting out of the Jeep business. I built the first one over 15 years ago and it was rougher than the rest in this package. I will be glad to answer any questions and send you more pictures but please, serious buyers only. 251-721-5100”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“This Jeep “Surrey” has ridiculously low mileage – only 1780 miles in over 50 years! Pale pink exterior, original striped soft top (with fringe!) All original body – and rust free!”
UPDATE: Still Available
(06/07/2011) Glenn is selling his DJ-3A. glenns@tdstelme.net
“1962 Willys DJ3A Surrey, Body,Original Frame with SN# 21501 visible, Surrey Top Bows, Included also is Original DJ3A Front Axle, Rear Axle, and Side Shift T-96 B Transmission I purchased separately and am picking up on way to The Great Willys Picnic, Sunday, June 12. The bad side of the deal is there is NO Title, NO Data Plate, but repros are available (Would Read 56337-21501), and other than a few other misc. parts, what you see is what you get. The original frame is usable, though the front cross member has been replaced with a later unit to accommodate a steering sector which is included. The 4WD Axles included are probably CJ5. According to the folks in Maryland I bought this from, this Surrey was used frequently on a 60’s TV Show called Wonderama broadcast locally in the NYC and Baltimore areas, but I have not confirmed this yet. This was originally a true pink Surrey, built in the first third of 1962 production. A challenging restoration, you’ll be searching for many DJ3A specific parts, but here is a great beginning and only out and about because of this eWillys site along with Dave’s sharp eyes. The price is $2500 CASH, includes delivery to either The Great Willys Picnic or any where between there and my Maine location. Again: Bill of Sale ONLY!!! Email me glenns@tdstelme.net for phone contact and other information.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4100
(07/13/2011) This looks like a fun little rig.
“1957 Willys CJ3A has Chevy 283 V8 with HEI Ignition. Jeep looks, runs, and drives great. Has T-90 Transmission, Dana 44 axels. FIberglass body, fold and tumble rear seats, 12v wipers, CD Stereo, driver passanger and rear lap seat belts, and many other new parts. $4,500 OBO”
The bodies aren’t the greatest, but there do seem to be parts here.
“selling off collection of flatfenders. lost storage and doubt i’ll ever get to complete a resto… here are a few pictures, more pics available. there are two DJ3’S, TWO CJ2A’S, ONE CJ3A. $750.ea. also have a few 2A rolling chassis. LOT’S OF JEEP PARTS!! call, 603-352-4204 or email”
http://nh.craigslist.org/cto/2505365081.html
Compared to the one below, this doesn’t look like much of a deal.
“1963 Willys 2 wheel drive Jeep. 13″ four lug wheels. Low mileage, less than 3,000 miles? Runs. Some spare parts. Painted military. Call 906-472-2532. Located near Kenton, MI”
http://northernwi.craigslist.org/cto/2493608321.html
Wow. This is a fun looking DJ-3A! The price looks pretty good too.
“1966 Flat Fender Willy’s Jeep 2wd Good condition and super fun to ride around in and have fun!!”
http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/cto/2492615059.html
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1000
(05/18/2011) This is listed as a 1948 CJ-2A, but it has a DJ-3A bumper and body at the very least. It might be on a CJ-2A frame, as it does have 4wd.
“I have a 1948 Willy’s that I am forced to part with after putting lots of effort into it. The VIN plate is good and therefore easily titled. I can provide a Bill of Sale.
The front and rear end were totally rebuilt with new gears, seals and bearings. The engine runs strong after a tune up, and newly rehabbed starter. All cylinders have good compression. Clutch is functions enough to move the Jeep around the yard as you can see. So considered it drivable enough to get it up on a trailer under its own power.
The body is the problem. Not shown is the hood in standard condition. The center seam needs work. But the hood is included. The floors are gone.”
http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/cto/2492135493.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
No description. This is definitely a DJ body. Are those early CJ-2A data plates? If so, this might be a mixed parts jeep.”
This sold quickly. The price on this DJ was $1075 and it ran and drove!
“49 Willys Jeep. 3 speed, 2 wheel drive, 4cyl, runs good. Clear Title. $1075.00 Cash.”
This could be a CJ/DJ combo given the 4wd.
“I am selling my 1956 Classic “Willys” Jeep CJ-2. It is powered by a 350 cu. in. chevy V-8 (2-barrel carb.) with a 4-speed (granny low) transmission. The “Jeep” has a new battery and is equipped with a tow bar. It has a clean and clear “Texas” title in my name. It has been adult driven checking fields and for hunting but could easily be made street legal. Call for directions (325) 625-1439. Method of payment is cash or will trade for a good tractor of equal or greater value.”
http://abilene.craigslist.org/grd/2443214553.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900.
I have seen militarized CJ-2As, but never surreyized CJ-2As.
“1948 Willys CJ2A
The old “Pink Jeep” has been in the barn for the last 15 years. Converted to 12 volt about 10 years ago and haven’t started it for about 8 years. My son took the top off when he was a teenager and the doors are in the back. One door has a cracked window. I have two old heaters and an extra seat that goes with it. It has two newer back tires. I think some jerk popped off the VIN number plate when my wife had a barn sale a few years ago and I don’t have a title for her which is unfortunate. It was my father’s jeep and he bought it from an old lady who painted it up to look like a jeep on Fantasy Island. I hauled it down from the U.P. where it was used for bird hunting. It ran well and the transfer case is good. It does not leak oil. I put oil mixed with a little kerosene in the cylinders and needs changing. Would make a good project, but never got around to it. We are downsizing. It’s in pretty good shape compared to others I have seen in this price range.”
UPDATE: **SOLD*** Was listed at $800
This might be a good price. The body appears solid on the side.
“I bought this jeep back in October 2010. Has originial engine and transmission. Engine doesn’t run but the motor is free and will turn over. The body is in great shape, just 1 dent on the drivers side front fender. The jeep has no title, but we can do a bill of sale. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
There appears to be value here.
“It’s a DJ body on a CJ3A chassis , motor , and drivetrain. Motor is a flathead 4cyl. It’s also 4WD. Runs but needs work. It’s a complete Jeep only missing seats and gas tank.”
