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: Still Available
(11/30/2011) The engine runs great, but needs help? I’m not sure how to interpret that.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The flames really make it go fast. This runs. This has a Worman half cab.
“This jeep has been stored indoors since the 70’s until just this April when I purchased. I have a free and clear title that will go with upon payment. Mechanically this jeep works and runs great. It has a PTO and was set up as a plow truck for a small business. The jeep runs great, shifts, stops, plow setup works as it should and plow goes up and down as well as side to side. I do have the plow blade but it is not pictured. The frame and chassis seems solid and complete but the body has fallen apart and has been patched up to be functional over the years. The origiginal gas tank no longer is hooked up and gas is gotten from an outboard motor tank sitting in the back of jeep. If you need a good complete chassis or parts this is your chance here. Will need to be trailed for safety reasons as it has not run on the road for many many years. The plow blade is comletely good and functional, but was not handy to photo.
Like I said earlier this engine runs great and everyhting seems complete and working chassis wise including the transfer case, etc. Mileage is unknown. Please do not bid if you can not pickup by Sunday Oct 23rd unless making arrangements first.””
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.

(08/05/2011) This might be a pretty good price. This is the second Jeepster I’ve seen painted in a similar manner.
“1948 WILLYS JEEPSTER CONVERTIBLE A RARE CLASSIC AND FUN CAR, ROAD READY, ALWAYS GARAGED, FORMERLY USED IN SHRINER PARADES MUST SEE AND DRIVE CALL FOR PICTURES AND MORE INFO”

This looks good.
“For sale is a green 1948 Willys Overland CJ-2A. It has an operational PTO (power take off). It has virtually no oil drips. The Jeep starts, runs, and drives well. Transmission shifts smoothly and the 4wd system shifts in/out and works just fine. I reverted the system back to 6 volt for nostalgic purposes but the 12 volt resisters are still in place to convert it back. Tires have about 500 miles on them. This Jeep is road worthy and I have the title ready to sign over to you. It is hard to find these things in the shape she is in. I’m sad to part with it, but I bought it as a “getting out of the military gift to myself,” and now it’s time to move on to the next fun project. I can’t provide details on its history prior to my ownership, but I can give you details on every repair since I have owned it. It comes with a complete soft top, Willys Overland CJ2A reprinted mechanics manual, a spare set of spark plugs and a spare paper oil filter”

That’s some serious artwork on the underside of the hood. This looks like a good build.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4200.
Since it has the CJ-2A windshield, I wonder if it really is a 3A.
“1951 Willy’s Jeep for sale. Rebuilt motor. New paint (red) .$4,200 Call or text for more info.”
UPDATE: Was for sale for $5500. Status unknown.
This looks good.

(09/19/2010) I can’t tell if this runs or not.
“Veh. Has had extensive work, brakes, Pinto engine, converted to12V, batt., lights, turn signals, new gas tank, new steering wheel, electric windshield wipers. Many new parts not installed yet, JC Whitney.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
This has an unusual striping motif. The last tags were in 1981, so I suspect the miles on the engine are pretty low.
“48 flat fender willys w/ roll bar and a 283 small block, new rear seal, new upholstered black leather seats. has canvas top and doors but is in fair condtion. drop down winshield, new battery, and all the lights work too…. tires are good but could use new ones in the future, its not a daily driver but it will climb a tree….. the last tags r from 1981, have clear title….it runs killer and has lots of power.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
(09/30/2009) Here’s a nice looking CJ-3A. It’s got an unusual cage.
“This is a 1949 Willys CJ3A with a rebuilt F-Head motor (not a flat head) out of a 1956 CJ3B. T90 3 speed and a Dana 18 Transfer Case. Dana 27 Front End and a Dana 44 Rear (welded for a locker) 5.38 gears. Custom 6 point Roll Cage out of 1.5″ DOM tubing. New Best Top Soft Top and Doors plus a Bikini Top …. Turn key and ready for a weekend in the woods!! The only thing that could be done is a new carborator because the 60 year old one leaks a little. Wanted to put the $100 upgrade solex carborator in it but just don’t have the time. Also, there is some rust in the bottom of the tub but again, not bad for the year.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.
Lots of spaghetti in the engine compartment, but it runs and looks solid.
“I have a 1948 flat fender Jeep Willys for sale. It is in good shape all around, runs and drives great. The drive train is stock with the flat head four cylinder and stock transmission and axles. Asking $2,200.00”
This is a Willys Jeep that was assembled from parts and pieces in the early 1960’s by Joe Ferrero and used as a Shriner’s parade vehicle through the early 1990’s. It appears to be a DJ-3A.
They acquired the Willys needing repair. With a minor ressurection – this vehicle is functioning as a parade vehicle. Features include all the bells and whistles (literally), a squirting telephone, bottle openers, and a keg that is accessible through the side of the vehicle.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
(10/03/2010) Unusual ‘roll bars’, unusual bumper and unusual paint job ….
“1948 Willy’s jeep, 4 cylinder, runs good, new army style tires installed. Rear end was rebuilt and ran one season at deer lease. Body is in great shape, has heavy gauge steel bumper with tow tong. Needs a little help on seats and brakes but will make a great hunting vehicle or farm truck. Currently painted in camo colors..”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
(04/25/172010) This jeep is great for African safaris.
“1953 Willys CJ-3A. Great project jeep. Last of the flat fenders, would make an awesome rock crawler/off roader. I have too many other projects and not enough time to devote to refurbing this classic”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4995. Now for sale here:
(11/09/09) “The original high hood Willys Overland “Jeep” universal in excellent original condition. This is not one of those old jeeps that has been ruined by installing a v-8. these were not made to go fast, they were made to go anywhere! Original F-134 4 cyl. engine with oil bath air cleaner. Rebuilt running gear inc. complete engine/transfer case rebuild, new clutch & brakes, upgraded to 12 v alternator. New fuel pump, regulator, solenoid and re-built original starter. Extras include Warn PTO winch, roll bar, soft top & rear bench seat. Clean in and out, no rust, never wrecked. Must see to appreciate. I’ve owned it for over 30 years and got it from my Grandfather so I can tell you it’s entire history.”
This is a nice looking rig.
“1948 Restored Willys Jeep. 350 Small block. Muncie Rock Crusher 4 speed. Great Condition. Our dad was a Willys Jeep enthusiast. He rebuilt 50+ Willys Jeeps in his lifetime. He rarely drove this jeep the past 10+ years due to health limitations. The jeep has always been stored in a garage. The top is like new and includes doors. The jeep has a full roll cage that is welded into the body. Comes with an extra windshield and a hood that has a hood scoop and stripes that match the striping on the jeep. The hydraulic clutch has a leak and the gas gauge doesn’t work. There are a few small chips around the door channels where you get in. Other than that the jeep is in fine running condition. A extremely nice vintage vehicle that will provide someone with a lot of fun.”
