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 $3000.
This might make a good restoration project. It has an interesting dash mod for the gauges.

Has the old fashioned (original) start petal at your feet, key only runs the electric and turns on the electric fuel pump.
Baja rack will need welded back on but is fully intact and ready to go. Just removed because I liked it better without.
If you’ve been reading the site for a while you might remember a couple of Nate Bolduc’s projects. At the end of 2012, Nate shared with us photos of a very stock CJ-3A he purchased. Since then, not only has he been helping out at the CJ-3A Page, but he’s also been rebuilding this jeep with a Forest Service theme. He’s even named the jeep Teddy, after Theodore Roosevelt. You can learn more (lots of pics and info) at his thread on the CJ-3A Page:

Here are a few pics of his progress:
This shows the stock CJ-3A after purchased. Note that it’s got some rot along the lower body, which means some body fixin’
Nate built this custom spare tire, water, and his Indian Fire Pump. the quick disconnect looks like a smart idea.
Nate picked up a PTO winch at the Willys Picnic in June. He’s got it installed behind a Warn OD.
Nate decided to try R&Ps dual master cylinder upgrade. He found it an easy upgrade and plans to purchase one for his next project.
Here’s a photo of the completed restoration, just in time to test it on this winter’s ice!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
This has been lifted quite a bit.

It’s a project.
“I purchase a 1952 CJ3A Jeep that I have started rebuilding, but personnel issues have put me in a position that I really need to sell it. This Jeep has had work done to it long before I got it, so it is not in it’s original condition. The engine is a F-134 not an L-134 and the transmission is out of a 1953, so I assume that the engine and tranny are both out of a 1953. I drove the Jeep before I bought it, and then took the tub off to start reworking it. The engine runs great, it has close to 105 PSI on all 4 cylinders. I had the tranny and transfer case completely rebuilt by T&B Transmission. They put in all new parts, no cobbeling 2 old transmission together to make one work. I’ve put in new brakes all the way around, new shocks, all new brake lines, and rebuilt all the wheel cylinders and the master brake cylinder. I picked up a 2 inch brake conversion kit for it and a roll bar. What I’m asking is way below what I’ve got invested. I also have the shop manual and parts manual for it. If someone has a 4 wheeler that they would like to trade, I would consider that, even if I have to put some money with the Jeep for a good one, or I would take a good crossbow or maybe a firearm in trade for the Jeep.”
