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 updates. The PTO lever is in an unusual spot. It seems to have a replacement body as well.

“This is a 1953 Willys CJ3a. It has been a project of mine almost 10 year but it is time to sell. This vehicle is far from stock I have a throttle body injected 4.3 liter V6 installed with a rebuilt 4 speed SM 465 truck transmission attached to the dana 18 transfer case. The transfer case has been updated with the hardened intermediate shaft and modern conical beings. The brakes and clutch have been updated with Wilwood master cylinders and slave cylinder. New clutch as well. The front axle is a dana 44 with disk brakes, chromoly axle shafts and an ox locker. The rear axle is a dana 44 from a newer model CJ I installed to handle the larger 35 inch tires I’m running. There has been a power steering conversation completed, and a triangulated 4 link with fox racing shocks in the rear and both drivelines are custom for the application. The top, tub, and seats are all new along with a new fuel tank and steering column. There are a few things that need to be finished on it but I used it as my daily driver for several months and can be driven home. I have far more than my asking price put in this vehicle, but I am not sure how to place a value on it. 7000 is where I will start the negotiation on it, but reasonable offers will be considered.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(01/14/2019) Looks like a DJ-3A convertible body on a 4WD chassis.

(12/19/2018) Bill owns this CJ-3A, one he bought via eWillys back in 2009.
https://stockton.craigslist.org/cto/d/stockton-1951-willys-cj3a/6804098804.html
“All original 1951 Willys CJ3a. Current California registration through June 2019. 6 Volt electrical system with keyed ignition and floor foot starter. Ramsey X200 R PTO winch. The person I bought the jeep from in 2009 said the winch worked but I’ve never tried it. Since I’ve owned the jeep, I’ve had the water pump rebuilt the radiator boiled out/tested and replaced the thermostat. I’ve replaced the fuel sending unit and now have a functioning fuel gauge. All gauges work. Front passenger mounted heater works.
No windshield wipers nor do they work. No bikini top but i do have a set of brackets but they are not original. The tires should have been replaced 20 or 30 years ago. Drivers rear tire will loose air but it takes a few weeks before it gets flat. All others hold air. This is a running Willys CJ3a but it I only feel comfortable going about 35 mph. You’ll need a trailer to get it home. It has a tow bar that accepts a 2 inch ball hitch but i’ve never used it. Again, you’ll need a trailer to get it home. I replaced the battery last month and it starts right up.”
Seems to have potential. The winch is extra.
