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 .
This has a variety of updates including a 1.9VW Turbo engine.

“CJ3A – w/ 1.9 VW turbo diesel – front and rear lockout hubs (flat tow) full soft top and bikini top – plus spare rolling chassis- cramped, not for a big guy”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8900.
Looks solid.
“Willys jeep great condition completely redone/ mechanical over 9k in parts w receipts. Needs tires and windshield.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
Seller is hoping to trade for a truck. This includes power lock hubs and a bed extension. I’m not sure what the “gentlemen” comment means, but perhaps it’s not so much a gender issue as it is a politeness issue?
“Trade 1951 Willys CJ3A for nice Truck.
51 Willys is 99.9% complete and runs excellent.
This offer is extended to gentlemen only.
If you have a nice girly 4X4 pickup (for my wife) of equal or greater value with a possible cash bump either direction than call me.”
Has at least some rust, but appears to run and drive.

“Good condition CJ3 Willy’s Jeep”
Given the updates, this could be a good price. That’s one strange steering wheel.

There might be some value here depending the extent of rust.

“Selling my grandpas 1951 willys cj3a. Has typical rust, but would make a great project! It’s a little ugly with the hood scoop, roll bar, and small tires but would clean up nicely!!! No motor or trans but everything else is there! No title but will be easy to apply for since it hasn’t been registered in many years! Great project or yard decor!”
