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 $8750.

For the quality of the rebuild, I don’t understand why this was militarized??

This might be a replacement body on a later model frame (the front crossmember is what puzzles me). There’s plenty of work to be done.

“So this is a 1948 CJ3A, titled as such with only two parts on it that are original. Everything else is from a samurai. Basically it’s a fiberglass jeep body, bolted onto a 1994 samurai frame with all samurai running gear. It was built to be ultra light, with the bench mark of below 1800 lbs which meets the legal requirements for a side by side (class IV UTV) to go on side by side only delegated trails. It’s also a fully insured street legal registered 48 cj3a (no DEQ to meet). The fiberglass body is also made to be 8” longer than a stock CJ3A has to accommodate taller drivers. Why a samurai? Everything on a samurai is built to be lightweight. The engine is fuel injected, aluminum block and heads, fully dressed weights 175 lbs…….. If you think bolting a chevy 350 inside a CJ2A is a good idea this rig probably isn’t for you. If you recognize the biggest advantage you can have off road is lightweight, we should talk. It takes the idea of “go anywhere” to a whole new level.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $14,500.
This is a militarized CJ-3A.
“Starts and runs great, new tires and goodies added over last 3 months, spent around $7000 fixing up. Fun and head turner. $14,500 OBO. Maybe trade?”
It still needs some work.
“This is a very clean and insanely rust free original body ’51 CJ3-A. The previous owner did all the paint work, and engine swap. It is nearly complete. Needs some tuning and timing. The t-90 transmission needs to be serviced or rebuilt. I contacted Washougal Classic Jeep about this job, and it is a fairly affordable job through them, or even a fairly easy rebuild to tackle at home if you are so inclined. The seats have been freshly reupholstered. Soft top is older and has a few tears, but does fold, and all the zippers work. Has new electric wiper motors also. Fiberglass hood. One tire has a slow leak, but i think it is a valve stem issue. it doesn’t have any punctures that I can locate.
231 Buick V6 swap is neat and well done. Aluminum radiator, electric fan. I have had it up and running, but have not driven it.
I picked this Jeep up in a trade thinking I would finish it up and do some wheeling, but another project is calling my name more. Needs a new owner who loves these old jeeps to wrap it up and have a really killer little rig. Clean OR title. Currently runs but DOES NOT DRIVE. BRING A TRAILER. I won’t bring it to you, or do any of the work it needs for you. For sale as-is, where it is.”
