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 $600.
(04/17/2012) Given the later model axles, there may be some parts value here, but not a whole jeep.
“his jeep has been my project for several years but I just don’t have the money to finish it and I don’t think I will any time soon. It has a complete body and I have alot of parts I have collected for it over the years. The body is complete but not all the body parts are on it in the picture It has a transmission (non PTO) but no engine. It has the usual rust problems and the frame is no good but I have an extra frame as well as later model axles and springs that are heavier than the stock ones. I would like to get around 700 or 800 but feel free to make me an offer. All the stuff I have for it is worth about 400-500 just in scrap weight and the parts are probably worth over 700 but I don’t want to part it out. I would like to see it go to someone who w ill be able to finish it. I can send pics opon request. ”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $900.
(01/12/2014) It says there is a rear PTO, but I don’t see the unit on the back.
“1948 WILLYS cj2a with rear power take off with 63 cj3b engine complete with 2 replacement fenders and grill comes with plow parts or repair engine doesn’t run will need to be towed 845-518 four 034”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(10/04/2013) This CJ-3A has the same fiberglass seats as Biscuit.
“53 Willy’s with 283 bored .06 over T90 trans with overdrive 5:11 gears front and back brakes are redone new oil pan gasket hoses starter motor runs strong only thing is needs a gas tank tank is rusted”
UPDATE: **SOLD** on eBay for $455. There’s a discussion about it on the CJ-3A Page.
“Koenig Model R100J Forward/Reverse PTO Winch. It mounts directly to a CJ2A, CJ3A or CJ3B, with the integral mounting bracket. PTO is off of the crankshaft pulley. This winch is off of my 1949 CJ3A and is very unique and rare; in fact I have never seen another one with this type PTO. This may be just what you need to make your restoration a one of a kind. It is in excellent working condition with the exception of a broken ear on the engagement lever and that part is available on the internet.
Included are the winch with integral mounting bracket, engine bracket assembly for PTO and lube block. The winch is complete and works but the PTO is missing the parts noted below. The missing parts will have to be machined. There is a company who reproduces a similar sliding clutch assembly for Land Rovers that may adapt. Note – The pictured engine IS NOT included and was used to illustrate the mounting of the engine PTO bracket only.
Not included:
Sliding clutch assy. (coupling winch to crankshaft nut)
Roller Fairlead
Cab Control lever assy.
Roller Chain (between sprockets on winch and PTO bracket)
Please contact me if you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them.”
Ann’s been in a quilting mood lately. And, when she gets in a mood, she gets productive. She’s sewn together around 10 quilts of different types in the past couple of months. Recently, she started looking for flat fender fabric (who could that quilt be for?), however all she has found is “Tugger” patterns.
Anyone ever run across flat fender quilting cloth?
Here’s the Tugger swatches. Ann found this one of a flying Tugger:
Bill Dedo contacted me yesterday. He’s hoping to track down a 1949 CJ-3A of his that his mother sold years ago. He has learned it might be a restoration project in Alta, California. If you happened to have any leads, add a comment to this post.
Here are some photos:
