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 .
The standard gas tank has been replaced with a tank behind the seats and filler embedded into the middle-rear of the custom hardtop.

“1954 Willy’s cj3b for sale. 134 f head four cylinder, twin stick transfer case, three speed manual tranny, tow bar and a roll bar if interested. Believe it’s fairly original except the front bumper and warn hubs. Floors are in very good shape as is inside the tool box. Been sitting a while but did get it to fire dumping gas down the carb. Needs some love but overall a good representation of a high hood Willy’s.”
Seller has another parts top for sale, too.

“Just surface rust. Was on a 1950s cj5. Erie PA 16510. All glass is plexiglass. I do have another CJ5 hard top for sale ( scrap ) but has the sides & rear Glass all intact. I’ll include if purchased.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(03/16/2023) This 3B is partially disassembled. The seller posted an early Kelly hardtop brochure as one of the pics, but he actually has a Kelly series 23 top produced in the 1960s. The TC is likely a Dana 18 (not Dana 41) and the diffs are likely Dana 25/44 (not 18/44).

“This Willys CJ2A is in pretty solid shape with good floors, tub and frame. I haven’t found any severe rust that I’d worry about. The paint is peeling up, but the panels are quite straight and ready for a new coat. It has a soft top under the hard top, a spare tire carrier and all the glass. This little champ ran and drove when I got it, the previous owner had put an industrial l134 under the hood. It had a head gasket leak and enough water got into the crankcase that is developed a knock. I shut it off immediately, so that motor is definitely rebuildable. I put the original motor back in it, an l134 that was recently rebuilt before seizing from sitting. I got the pistons free but one of the valves is still stuck, I’ll continue trying to break it loose. No title. I’m looking to sell it for the 3k I have in it, since I don’t time for it anymore or the facilities. Ask me anything else you want to know!”
UPDTE: **SOLD** Was $6500. As Bill notes in the comments, there has been some odd activity with this Jeep.
Seller believes this to be a Farm Jeep based on the serial number. The hardtop is a Kelly “23” series top. Thanks to Tom for sharing it.
“Serial Number 453GC1 10049 indicates a 4-cylinder, 1953 production year. The fifth symbol C indicates a Farm Jeep. About 10,617 CJ3As were produced in 1953, but only 85 serialized Farm Jeeps were produced in 1953, this Willys is number 49. Less than 10 of these are listed in the Kaiser Willys or CJ3B.info databases to still be intact or running. While it has been resprayed, the original color was Pacific Blue, and the original paint can be seen under the hood and inside the fenders.
Farm Jeeps had reinforced frames for the additional implements as well as upgraded springs. The frame and suspension are in good shape. The engine and drive train are fully functional, and it starts and drives reliably. Steering is reasonable for the condition, however much of its 27,000 actual miles has been off pavement, while it can be driven on the road, it would need adjustments to feel comfortable above 45 MPH.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $8000.
(03/13/2023) This has a variety of updates. Includes a Cab Enclosure hardtop.

“1943 Ford GPW / Willys MB. 2.3l Ford turbo engine from a Ford Thunderbird. Curie D44 front, Jeep D44 rear, locking hubs on all 4 wheels for flat towing, twin stick Dana 300, T90. New battery, overhauled rear end, transmission, and transfer case. Includes car dolly and arctic cab. Registered. Effectively a 200hp street legal side-by-side.”
Blaine spotted these doors for sale.

“These were on a 1963 CJ5. $250. Windows do roll up and down but could use some lubrication.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Several folks forwarded this one. Interesting that this has a top with side windows. It just further demonstrates that the CJ-5 and DJ-3A versions of this top were interchangeable.
“1959 Willys DJ-3a jeep and a 1950 jeep for sale. The dj3a will run but the fuel tank is out of it right now but you can hear it run. 1950 cj3a is a complete jeep minis the motor and windshield. Also have lots of extra parts to go with them. No title sold with bos. Located in Griffin ga”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(02/26/2023) This is a project, but looks to be a solid one. It’s got a Koenig hardtop.

This jeep has some interesting history. The hardtop looks to be a Kelly 23 series.

“Jeep is in need of a restoration. Engine is not running. Vehicle has been stored inside for the last 60 years. Steel top with side and rear doors. Tow bar available but not attached to vehicle. Originally used as a tug to move a DC-3 into its hanger. Later used for forestry work.”
Engine has a knock, but might still be worth a look.

This includes a Kelly 23 series hardtop and a plow. It *might* be an actual Farm Jeep jeep.

“1953 Jeep Willys CJ3A. Title has body type as farm Jeep and model as FJ (farm Jeep ?). Still has 6 volt electrical system and pretty much original other than the aluminum radiator. Brakes and emergency brake works but it has never been down the road since I’ve owned it for 11 years. Always starts on the coldest day of the year to plow driveway maybe twice a year. Was last ran in October of last year and never had snow to use it last winter but it just started right up without charging the battery just pulled the choke and it fired. Very dependable and hydraulic plow works fine up and down, angling the blade side to side is done manually though. I would recommend towing it even though it has brakes I don’t know how well it will stop on the road it has never left my driveway in 11 years after brake system was replaced, engine rebuilt and clutch replaced.”
Bill shared this 1949 jeep that’s listed as a 2A, but appears to be a 3A. It includes a rear PTO and gearbox plus a Kelly 23-series hardtop. Note that at the bottom of the eBay ad the seller has included 5 different videos.

“1965 CJ5. Has been sitting in a shed since the 80s. It does not run but I can’t see it taking much work to get it running. Body is very usable. Front floors have some old patches but its not in terrible shape. Rear floor is in good shape. Toolbox under the seat is decent just has typical hat channel rust. Nicest untouched original dash I have ever seen, not a single extra hole has been drilled. Still has original seats with whats left of the original fabric. Frame looks solid no holes or major rot. Rear springs have some broken leafs so they will need to be replaced. Fiberglass top is in great shape. Doors are rough on the bottom but can be fixed. Excellent candidate for restoration or get it running/driving and enjoy it just the way it is. $2800. Sold with a bill of sale only. Located in Connecticut”
This has a Worman hardtop. I expect this doesn’t run?
