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 .
Looks solid, though the body has some dings.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700
It hasn’t run in fifteen years and is missing parts and they want $2700? I know it has been hot down there, but really?
“1949 Willys Jeep, complete w/Texas title, last ran about 15 years ago.$2700
1947 Dodge M37 A1 Truck, complete w/Texas title, last ran with stuck valve 20 years ago.$2700”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $3500.
Needs a paint job at the very least.
“A great project, lots of potential.
Runs and drives, good tires, Kaiser motor, great for deer lease, off road, has tow bar if needed, removable hard top and spare tire rack.
$3500.00 or reasonable offers considered.”
This might have a Warn OD, too.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $20,000
Looks like the front frame rails have been patched? I can’t quite tell for sure.
“I’m selling my WWll Willys. I’m too old to drive it anymore. Only used in the Veterans day parade the last few years. The way you see it is the way I bought it. Numbers matching chassis with a new tub. Has G.I. tow bar and pintel hook. Reproduction .30 cal. machine gun with pedestal. Dash mounted rifle scabbard.”
Only habit is holding this body together. Still, for $350, there might be value.
“Up for sale is this Willys CJ-3A Jeep. I believe it is a 1952 based on my research on the serial number, but there is NO TITLE so I am not positive. This is a true barn find, actually the barn was much nicer than the Willys (lol). It is complete but in very poor condition. The hood and grille are the only body pieces that are in decent condition, the body tub and cab are rotted. The flat head engine is seized because whoever stopped working on the engine 30 odd years ago left three of the four spark plugs out. The transmission goes into all gears and the thing rolls so the differentials are free too. I am guessing that the transmission, transfer case, drive shafts and differentials are all serviceable with some refreshment (new fluids, grease, seals and such). There is no tailgate. The frame is rusty too and may be too weak to be usable. Basically what you see is what yu get. This is a perfect parts vehicle for your project as it is completely intact and all of the little parts that nickel and dime you are here. The only obvious things missing are the seats, the passenger seat was gone when I found it and I am keeping the driver’s frame for my project.
Do not e-mail or text me, I will not respond. Do it the old fashioned way, talk to me! Call Gary at 440-728-0057 BETWEEN 3 pm to 11:30 pm ONLY. Thanks for looking, good luck in your search.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6200.
Lots of mods on this crawler.
“This is a one of a kind Willys that was built by a former Dynamics Engineer at Jeep and he also owned Nth Degree Mobility. With a small amount of work this Willys would be fully ready to hit the hit the trails. The Willys needs to have the Carb tuned and a new battery installed (has bad new Optima). This Willys has been wheeled all over the country from the Sierras to Michigan. The vehicle was completely rebuilt about 10 years ago and then parked till 3 years ago when I purchased. I replaced and cleaned the entire fuel system and got her up and running, wheeled it, loved it but just do not have room for it in my smaller home with a growing family and another jeep. Make me a reasonable offer, title in hand.
