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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 $4000.
This is a non-running CJ-3A, so the price will undoubtedly drop.
“1950 Willy’s Jeep. Civilian version. Needs…new paint job, some rust restoration, engine work (Not currently running). A few spare parts.
It’s not running. However, I don’t see much rust either. This might be a pretty good deal.
“Mostly Original 4 cylinder flat head. Includes extra parts. Jeep ran when parked 5 years ago. $ 2500. Ask for Dan. 623-8334”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
Here’s trail ready jeep with a very low crawl ratio (sm420 + dana 300/teralow +4.56 gears).

Jim sent out a some images of his Camo Seat Cushions this evening.
He writes, ” They fit CJ2A CJ3A CJ3B M38 M38A1 M606 Early CJ5 CJ6. Note:The set of seat cushions in the picture are not screwed in place, just set up to show you what they’ll look like installed. Once screwed into the seat back, fit will be tight and correct”
I made more progress this weekend on the jeep. Most importantly, I planned and excecuted a design for my center console.
My center console stands between the front seats. It’s purpose was two-fold: 1, provide a place for me to put power and ignition/kills switches, along with a start button, and, 2, provide a more accessible location for plugging in my cell phone (which will sit, along with a few other items, in a compact water proof bike bag that I can easily remove).
Now you ask, and reasonably so, why install a start button and switches when you have a perfectly good key switch on the steering column?
Well, that’s a good question. There’s only one answer. I always wanted a jeep that started with a simple push button. So, I just had to get that urge out of my system. Trust that the key solution would have been easier, as my wiring harness was all set up for a GM column. This meant I had to remove the GM plugs from the harness, decode the wiring, and rewire the critical wires to the correct points in the center column.
With that said, here’s my console:
After considering a variety of designs, I came up with this simple post and console design.
Below are the steps for cutting out the back of the console. I had an old hood that I have been using for some spare sheet metal. Below is the paper template on the hood. Also on the hood is the bent and drilled console.
Next, I cut out the metal using a grinder with a cutting wheel. Then I used a paint remover on my grinder to remove the paint.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
“Hello, I buy,sell,repair,and restore willys jeeps. Flat fenders are my favorite which I have owned one for over 35 years. This is a great jeep for parades, car shows and just criusing around. A previous owner has done a nice job restoring it. It has a lot of unique EXTRAS with it. … This is a nice jeep and is a very unique head turner. Rubber is very good too.
This might be a pretty good price.
“This is a 1952 Willy Jeep 4×4. It runs and has an 8000 lb warn wench on the front and a 4″lift and 35″tires with new rims. It also has a new gas tank and battery and new brakes put in by Big O tires. The lift, brakes and gas tank were all worked on by Big O tires and I have the receipts. 602-549-0844.”
Here’s a boat motor that’s labeled with both Willys and Jeep markings. So far, I have found Willys motors in tractors, generators, and now boats.
“4 cylinder Jeep Willys inboard motor with attached Paragon reverse reduction gear transmission/drive. Rebuilt in 1961 (see placard below), so pretty safe to assume it’s a 1950’s or older motor….”
This is a running jeep for only $600. It looks to be a CJ-3A to me.
“i own an early 1940s jeep willys. it runs, the frame is in good condition, original RUNNING motor, 4×4 hi and low both work. the body needs work if you are intrested call glenn at 860-420-7629”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
“Selling 1950 CJ-3A. Everything should be original except wiring was redone 30 + years ago and a new top bought about 25 or so years ago. All in all seems to be in good shape. Has been garage/shed/storage kept since ’83. A little work should get her running. Serial number is 51990. Would like $3k w/ the top or $2500 w/o it. Open to some negotiation. Jeep is located in Raleigh, NC (actually about 5 miles south in Garner). Buyer would be responsible for transporting it. I can also take more specific pics for anyone interested.”
