About eWillys
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.
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 .
(06/02/2010) If the engine problem is a simple fix, this might be a good price.
“1949 Willy’s pickup. Complete. Currently not running. Original 4 cylinder motor and original running gear. Easy restoration project. One rust spot on driver’s floor. Looking to trade for a Falcon, Fairlane, or Galaxie of equal value. Would consider other muscle cars or 1200 OBO. Let me know what you have to trade. Any questions call Jose at 509-770-8117.”
A reader from Greece contacted me today. He is searching for a bare bones willys that he hopes to get and ship back to Greece. As an alternative, I suggested he try using ooyyo.com to locate a jeep in Europe. I haven’t used this search engine much, but in a search of greece, it did show a variety of Willys flatties and CJ-5s. So, I did a search on Willys in the US and I got a wide range of results, from way, way overpriced — almost confusing — to reasonable deals. For example, I have this CJ-3A from CDA listed at $10,000 , yet ooyyo has it listed at $20,000 and links it to this ad. Caveat Emptor!
UPDATE: Bill reports that this sold. He believes the top may still available.
(04/29/2009) This is a very nice Dj-3A and one of only a handful made in 1961 as noted by the seller.
“1961 WILLYS DJ3A DISPATCHER JEEP, Serial Number 56337 20287, I removed the hard top with plans to paint it black and get a black vinyl bikini top made, but as you can see in some of the photos, it had original military OD paint. So I thought I would offer it just as it is in case someone wanted to go back to original OD military style with stars and numbers. ….”
This looks in good condition, though the dash is missing a few items.
“Selling a very nice flatfender Jeep CJ3A, built in 1951, original California vehicle with black/yellow CA plates. Recent paint job, new gas tank and fuel filter. New windshield. This little Jeep drives very nice and everything works. Original 6 volt system. The photos don’t show, but a full spare is mounted on the passenger rear side of Jeep. Original factory running gear: -L4-134 4-cylinder flathead engine -Warner 3-speed T-90 transmission -Spicer Model 18 2-speed transfer case -Factory Spicer Models 18 & 25 front and rear differentials”
It looks like the dash has been chopped a bit. I don’t think this looks all that bad for the price.
“I haven’t been back to OR in 4 years and with a career in TX, it is unlikely that I ever will. I have a WW2 era military
Jeep at my family ranch in Eagle Point that I would like to sell. I have talked to a restoration specialist who says it has
been modified too many times over the years to be worth restoring to original spec, but that it would make a good toy
for wheeling or hunting.
Frame, axles, and transfer case are all original military spec and in good shape. Engine is an upgraded inline six and
was running years ago, but I wouldn’t even try now without a tune up. The bottom of the body tub was rusted out,
but the structural components are all in good shape. It has been kept covered and dry since I left. I might trade for older paintball stuff since I collect it, and it can be shipped. Nothing other than that.”
“1961 willys cj 5 needs brake work and smokes a little when first started. I bought as a a.t.v./hunting rig,while living at st. marys glacier,that house went into foreclosure, and I was forced to m,ove back to town. Now I am selling some toys. Please make offer do not be shy, I might say no, no big deal.”
