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 $1800
Needs a little work of some kind.
“1974 RIGHT HAND STEER JEEP,6CLY,AUTOMATIC,RUN GOOD FUN TOO DRIVE NEED TLC$1800…..ARE TRADE FOR…?”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(10/04/2014) This might have a DJ body. It’s got no tailgate, no fuel inlet on driver’s side, no tool indents on driver’s side, and looks to have drain holes, though they are slightly covered. Doesn’t run.
“1953 Willys CJ3A that has been owned by the same family last 35+ years. Has original flat head L-134 go-devil motor. Stock drivetrain. Custom built roll cage and racks. Motor cranks over but jeep has not been driven for years. Tires and rims are less then a year old. Cost$900 new. Great jeep for father son project or someone looking for an original jeep. Clean title registered 2015.”
It’s a project that runs.
“BARN FIND FLATFENDER JEEP!! Probably a CJ2A or 3A. Original L head 134 flathead engine. Rebuilt transmission/XFR case, radiator, etc. Runs and drives, would be a great project. See the pictures or call me if you are serious about it. $2000 just about covers what I had to invest to make it drive. If I fix more stuff the price will go up accordingly. will need seats, electrical, tires (has 15 inch wheels) other stuff.”

“I have a 1948 CJ2A Jeep that’s been stored in a pole barn for about 20 years. Serial number 179097. Dad used it on the farm in the 60’s, I don’t know where he got it. He replaced the body back then. It was running when parked about 20 years ago.”
It’s a project.
“This is a project vehicle , no motor – etc. . Upgraded axel w/4.27 gears & lockers . Great tires . Has a title .”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.
It’s got a 2A/3A front with a CJ-5 rear.
“951 Willys Jeep, at least that’s what the title says, TX title in my name with antique plate. Was going to be a father son project but quickly we realized neither of us knew enough about vehicles to tackle something like this. We got it from my brother-n-law who spent about $3,500 on it to get it running, I have the receipts. Engine seems to run good and doesn’t smoke; we can drive it around the neighborhood. I’ve never tried the 4-wheel drive; none of the lighting works, lots of play in the steering, starter catches and starts the engine about every 3rd or 4th time. We put new tires and shocks on the rear, front tires are good. Has a death wobble in the front left wheel at about 25mph, thought it was bearing related so I installed new bearings, didn’t fix the wobble. Hopefully someone with knowledge of this thing will take it off our hands and have fun with it. I’ve got no idea the value; I’d just like to recover the $2200 we have in it. Bring cash, come haul it off.””
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
Includes a Warn Overdrive.
“47 CJ2A for parts. Has V8, 3 speed, transfer case, warn OD. Doesn’t run, has been sitting for years. Some front end body damage. Not parting out piecemeal must take entire jeep. ”
DJ-3A Dispatchers were used by several pharmacies in Louisiana.
Here’s another pharmacy using DJs for drug deliveries.
This photo was published in the August 19, 1942, issue of the Courier-Express. The caption is interesting, in that the woman driver of the jeep had driven ambulances for the Chinese back in 1932!
