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 .
The pics are pretty small, so hard to tell much. I’m guessing this was not an original CJ-2L.

“Stretched CJ body and frame. I do have a title for it”
I can’t tell if this was an M-38 at some point or if it has a replacement body.

“1952 Willy’s The jeep is in need of lots of help It was just brought to my property And it needs to leave my property I don’t need anymore yard art It Has a some kinda V8 motor No heads on the motor Bring a trailer I have title in hand no bank pay off no games.”
UPDTE: **SOLD** Was $6500. As Bill notes in the comments, there has been some odd activity with this Jeep.
Seller believes this to be a Farm Jeep based on the serial number. The hardtop is a Kelly “23” series top. Thanks to Tom for sharing it.
“Serial Number 453GC1 10049 indicates a 4-cylinder, 1953 production year. The fifth symbol C indicates a Farm Jeep. About 10,617 CJ3As were produced in 1953, but only 85 serialized Farm Jeeps were produced in 1953, this Willys is number 49. Less than 10 of these are listed in the Kaiser Willys or CJ3B.info databases to still be intact or running. While it has been resprayed, the original color was Pacific Blue, and the original paint can be seen under the hood and inside the fenders.
Farm Jeeps had reinforced frames for the additional implements as well as upgraded springs. The frame and suspension are in good shape. The engine and drive train are fully functional, and it starts and drives reliably. Steering is reasonable for the condition, however much of its 27,000 actual miles has been off pavement, while it can be driven on the road, it would need adjustments to feel comfortable above 45 MPH.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Several folks forwarded this one. Interesting that this has a top with side windows. It just further demonstrates that the CJ-5 and DJ-3A versions of this top were interchangeable.
“1959 Willys DJ-3a jeep and a 1950 jeep for sale. The dj3a will run but the fuel tank is out of it right now but you can hear it run. 1950 cj3a is a complete jeep minis the motor and windshield. Also have lots of extra parts to go with them. No title sold with bos. Located in Griffin ga”
This has a variety of updates, including dual tanks. No description provided.

Bill shared this nice looking CJ-3A that took a hit on the driver’s side, front end. OUCH! The jeep is up for auction via copart. I bet the front of the frame is bent.

Seems worth a look, but needs at least some work.
