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 $3000.
(03/28/2010) There’s been a number of updates on this flattie.
“327 Rebuilt Engine with approximately 700 miles. 4 speed, 8000 lb wench, 35 x 12.5 tires, 4 barrell Edelbrock carburetor, headears, tow bar, 6 point roll bar, 5 point harness seats. Runs Great!!! If you have any questions, or would like to schedule an appointment to see, please call”
This looks in pretty good shape, though I suspect there’s some rust underneath.

This looks like it has been sitting a while.

The seller says no rust.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
Depending on the work needed, this looks like it’s not a bad price.
“50 Jeep CJ3a; great condition for year; kelley hard top in great shape; l-head 4 cyl
runs/ drives but needs work; thanks for looking, ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
I don’t see too many DJ-3As that still have their tops. Someone converted this to 4wd.
“Unique Willys Jeep with a fiberglass roof and steel doors and sides. This jeep is in good shape for the age. Willys flathead 4 cylinder runs fine, transmission and 4 wheel drive work fine. Cooper military type lug tires. Has new front springs, new brake shoes on all 4 wheels.Fun jeep to drive. This jeep needs a new master cylinder or rebuild. Gas tank has seap leak if filled full. Has some rust in the bottom of the doors. Floor pan appears pretty solid. As you can see in the pictures there are some surface rust spots on the body. Drivers door window is cracked. Other glass is good. Seats from a new jeep are installed. The jeep comes with the original split bench front seat, original locking hubs, has Warne hubs installed, extra transmission and transfer case parts. It has a tow bar installed with a 2″ hitch so you can tow it home.”
This has got a great old top.
“Flat head 4 cylinder engine. Winch runs off transfer case from transmission.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
On a trip to Bonner’s Ferry, Idaho, Dan discovered this unusual project. Underneath all the modifications is a 1943 GPW. What’s amazing to me is that, all things considered, it doesn’t look all that bad. Someone certainly cobbled together a variety of vehicles, along with a healthy supply of diamond plating to keep this vehicle on the road. No doubt it was better than sporting a soft top in cold weather.
UPDATE: A reader purchased this and reports about the purchase in the comments.
” 1948 Willys Jeep. Runs Great – looks great – Selling because I need to make room in our garage and I’m not using it. The only thing that needs some attention is to track
down what’s draining the battery and passenger side windsheild wiper.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Here’s a non-running CJ-3A.
“1952 Willys Jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000. It has a Muller Top.
UPDATE: More pics. Some interesting pics of the custom soft top. Price dropped to $10,000. This also comes with the electric overdrive, which demonstrates you can sneak one of these behind a transfercase in a flattie.
(10/06/2009) It looks like there’s been some well done customizations. I’d like to see more pics to see more.
“Rare 1953 Willy is a spectacular addition to any Jeep enthusiast • Custom Top • Custom Paint w/ Ghost Flames • New Tires & Wheels • V6 Chevy Motor • Rebuilt Front End • New Front & Rear Gears & Bearings • New Rear Axles • New Rear Springs • New 14” Brakes • New Radiator • Lots of Chrome & Stainless • Studebaker Electric Over Drive.

UPDATE: Images added.
“Hi i have a 1946 Jeep Willys here. Has been garaged since 87 and it pretty good condition. All origional with all parts still there. It did run when it was parked but has sat for 23 years so no guarentees on it running but would be a nice project. Lost the keys for the ignition so it will have to be replaced.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
(11/26/2009) The seller would like to trade this jeep as part of a trade for a Cargo Trailer. This is a no tailgate DJ-3A. This appears to be a great price.
“JEEP: 1956 WILLY’S DJ3-A. Needs the bodywork finished and painted. Body is in good shape. Not wrecked or rusted out. Floorpan is great. Engine is a 4-cyl 1971 Ford, but runs like a top! Short exhaust w/cherry bomb. Roll bar and hardtop included. Aluminum mag wheels. Needs tires. Windshield is cracked, but would be easy to replace. Clear title in my name. Very unusual model. Same body style as Willy’s MB/Ford GPW. Would trade for approx $1200 +/- toward a trailer.”
UPDATE: Was $2500. **Status Unknown**
It’s not totally stock, but it sure looks nice for the price.
“Titled as a 1947 CJ. Ford 4cyl motor and 4 speed manual transmission. Full aluminum Meyers top and doors. Bucket seats in front, rear jumpseat, rollbar, heater. Runs great, crack in windshield glass. Fuel pump is a little weak as it loses prime if not started for a few weeks. Fun vehicle. Take the top off and flip the windshield down in the summer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This is an odd build. I wonder just how that top is attached.

UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $1500.

This does have the rare bed extension on the back.
“1948 Original Willys Jeep. All records since 1967. Barn kept. Title, tagged and inspected. Everything works.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
This CJ-2A was listed on eBay for $1200 (also listed on craigslist for the same amount). No bids were made. Bidding ended on April 13, 2010. However, it looks like a decent price to me. It is a complete jeep with a PTO winch, a top, and a cj-3a windshield with good glass.
“1947 Willy’s CJ-2A with Hardtop and doors. It has a F-Head motor with a 3 speed manual transmission and a CJ-3A windshield. I bought this for $1500 almost 5 years ago. It started right up and drove until I brought it home which is right around 9,000′. I could not get it started and since it has just been sitting in the driveway. I had the starter rebuilt at the cost of $189.81 with a receipt to show. At the moment the battery is dead and the carb. needs rebuilt or replaced. My plan was to upgrade the ignition and put on a new carb. This is a good old flatfender that just needs a little time and money. There is a swing away tire carrier with 2 jerry can holders.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
It’s got an unusual top.
“1950 Willy’s Miltary Jeep for sale. 2000.00 OBO. Jeep is in need of new tires, but will make a great project. was running last time we started it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800.
This looks in reasonable condition. I do wonder what gun fighter shot a hole in the hood of this poor, defenseless jeep.
“Please make calls between 7AM and 9PM mountain time 406-591-9090. GREAT huntin’ rig or topless summer fun. F-head 4-cylinder , 12 volt factory system , all new bulbs. heater works great , seats are very nice , no rips or split seams. It has character , runs great , no smoke.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“This is a 1951 Willys UT Jeep. The body is complete and in good condition. The floor pans on the inside have rust. All of the gauges work. The engine is a L Head 4 cy. Transmission is a 3sp with hi/low transfer case 4wd. This jeep runs and drives great. I have owned this jeep for about 5 years. During that time I have had several people wanting to buy it. I purchased it with the intention of restoring it. Realizing that I just don’t have the time, I’ve decided to sell it. Also the title is free and clear.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
This looks like a nicely stock plow jeep at a good price.
“Classic 1963 Jeep . Vin number lists everything on it as universal, so its a standard willys jeep. Has hard top and doors. 4 cyl not running currently. Good solid jeep. Very strong. Comes with original equipment meyers snow plow. Needs brakes, hasnt had them since Ive owned it. I only used it to plow, stopped with the plow..

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
It needs some wheels. There looks to be some value here. It’s an estate sale.
