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 .
This looks nice for the price.
“1961 CJ3B The Jeep has 61,000 miles and is pretty much original except for heavier springs and a Warn overdrive. It has a Koenig hard top, Ramsey PTO winch, and original Cutlas hubs. I’ve had it for 3 years, and am the the fourth owner. Vehicle is in great shape, even the heater works. $5,000.00 possible trade or partial trade for small vintage travel trailer.”

This looks in good shape, though the floor carpet makes it hard to evaluate the floor.
“1953 Jeep Willys CJ3B. Great running reliable Jeep willys originally purchased by US Navy for base use as depicted on plaque installed on dash. Not a show quality vehicle but not a rust bucket and no areas needing to be addressed. Original color was orange for naval base use to identify allied vehicles. Used on weekends with my kids for parades, jeep events, and beach trips. It has a great running 4 cylinder with manual transmission .Starts right up every time,no leaks, Has tow bar, 4 Wheel drive works as it should with no mechanical issues whatsoever. Tires installed within last year. Has spare tire not mounted. Hard top can be removed and comes with alternate windshield and glass. Seat covers are like new. Interior has been completely covered in soundproofing to reduce exterior noise. All lights, blinkers, turn signals, radio, work perfectly.
Absolutely nothing wrong with this vehicle just not being used enough to justify keeping. Classic insurance is only 85.00 per year and qualifies for classic QQ tags and registration.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7250
Well, it looks solid, but not sure it is $7000ish solid.
“I have a all original 1953 willys cj3. Flat head 4 cylinder go devil engine. Green body, and comes with hardtop. if you need pictures email me.”
Bidding starts at $1.99.
“Beautiful new professional print (4″ X 6”) from a old 35 mm slide (KODACHROME TRANSPARENCY, no date imprinted) of a WILLYS JEEP CJ-3A (I think) with a HOMEMADE WOODIE BODY . Neat looking Willys Jeep with a wooden enclosure over the driver/occupant compartment. Don’t know the year for sure. No idea where or when the picture was taken. Written on the slide is, “Feb 1952”. Much better than scan, crisp and clear. Any distortion or glare is from my digital camera. Ruler does not show up on actual photo.
Please note, my prints are not made from a home computer, as some have questioned, they are printed by “Denver Digital Imaging Center” a division of “The Slideprinter” in Denver, Colorado U.S.A. From their web site: “For 33 years The Slideprinter has set the standard in making prints from transparencies… We are still the experts at making beautiful prints from slides…”

I also have a clean and clear title for this jeep.This is a restoration project, frame body and hard top has surface rust but has no rust through spots just on the rear cross member.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $325. It’s a Kelly Hardtop.
“New price – move fast to grab this nice hard top. Purchased to fit my ’43 Ford GPW, but I decided to go with all canvas. Nice condition. Photos below. I have owned it for three years, during which it has been stored indoors. Includes hard top, two small panels for leading edge of door, and two doors. Condition good, other than a small, non-rusting crease low down on one door.
I looked at the manufacturers plate. It seems to say model F 23-300,
which seems to be what would fit a cj2a or cj3a… I think. Maybe later models –
you tell me.”
This has some unusual mods. I’m not sure what the ‘stripes’ on the side are. Nor am I sure what is on the hood.
“1962 Willys Jeep, flat head four cylinder. Some spare engine and body parts. Very few miles put on it since I’ve owned it. Must see to appreciate. Body and under carraige in great shape.

UPDATE: This was on eBay in March of 2011 and for sale in Pennsylvania. It has different tires now.
“1963 Willys Dispatcher DJ3A 2dr delivery car with 2-wheel drive, sliding side doors, lift up tail gate, very cute and has many applications. We were going to do a restoration on this and just don’t have time. This Jeep is pretty rough but comes with a set of new floor boards and we will accept any reasonable offer. The Jeep does not run, but the engine is not stuck. Both rear springs are bad and it currently has no brakes.upholstery needs done as well. We have the original chrome bumper and guards for the front (needs plating). It will need to be trailered for sure. <P> One of these in fully restored condition sold for $18000 on ebay last year. SO, if you want an ambitious restoration project with an upside, here it is. Call Bob for a good deal on this little, rare Willys.”

These are pictures from the previous auction. At the very least, the DJ-3A no longer has a license plate.

(04/08/2011) This is a stock CJ-3A with some rust issues. It runs and drives.
“This jeep has been in my family since 1982. My grandfather did a ground up restore in 1987. He and I used it to for hunting in NY. I had it shiped down here from NY two years ago in hopes to restore it to 1987 condition again. But I don’t see that happening any time soon. I hate to sell it but i guess its just the sign of the times. I have done my research online and know alot about this jeep and know their value. The jeep needs some body work. It runs good. Its been sitting for over 15 years and all I did was put a electric fuel pump on it a battery, new plugs and wires..It took a few mins but it started right up and ran just like it did 20 years ago. I drove it around the farm a few time with the kids and parked it behind my shop where it has sat now for two years. The interior is in good shape but needs a drivers seat.I have the seat but it has a bad rip in it so i took it out the passengers seat is in good condition. I have removed the gas tank due to the 20+ year old gas that was in the tank (and it still ran with that gas in it). I was planing on installing a ploy tank but never did. The jeep also needs a brake job. I do have a new master cylinder for it that also needs to be installed. The motor is a flat head 4, with a foot button starter that still works good. All gages are still in place and all work but the speedo. The hearter even still blows. And the head lights still work ..I did put a new tire when i got the jeep due to the dry rot..the other tires are still somewhat ok… If your are SERIOUS about this jeep , email me and I will send you more detailed pics of it cause i can only put so many on here..”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
Between the top and the tires/rims there is value.
“This is a 1949-1952 Jeep Willys, it has the buick 231, with the t-90 manual transmission, 4×4. Brand new starter, turns over slow and does not run, and no title. 500 or best offer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This may be mostly surface rust.
