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 $9,000.
“Completely rebuilt in 1990
Very clean.

It appears this is a CJ-3A with a DJ-3A body. Looks like a fun little rig. It is 2WD now.
“This 1951 Willys has been in the family for over 20 years. It’s a neat cruise around car perfect for parades. The complete driveline has been changed over to an early 90’s Ford Mustang. 4 cyc. motor-trans and rearend. The seats from the mustang were also used and reupholstered. This summer, we replaced all 4 tires and inner/outer tie rods. Possibly open to trades.“
Has a few updates. Could be a solid jeep.
“Cool old 1950 CJ3A (flat fender) original drivetrain, engine rebuilt in 2016, body dented and patched but solid, all gauges work, converted to 12v with new alternator and ignition parts, spray can paint job, newer seats. Runs and drives just fine.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(09/03/2017) Given the lack of a proper gas filler hole, this body might be fiberglass or it might be from a DJ-3A.

(10/13/2017) Rick spotted this one. Look like there could be value here.
“1949 Jeep Willy, rough shape, body rusty, original motor but it does turn over, tires still hold air, tow bar on front bumper, nothing is froze up, have windshield, there is no title, but do have bill of sale and papers dating back to the 90’s.”
Includes a Warn OD. Front shackles reversed. Sounds like it needs an engine rebuild.
“Rebuilt trans, transfercase and Warn overdrive. Runs good but overheated it and smokes when it gets warmed up. Original eng.
2-1/2 inch springs with greasable shackles. reverse shackle kit installed for smoother ride. Asking 4,000. Make an offer.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(04/1e/2017) Needs wiring.
“Engine fires right up and runs good. I bought a new Walcks 4WD wiring harness and wired the engine, battery, voltmeter, ignition and starter, but all the rest of the new wiring needs to be hooked up. It has been converted to a 12 volt system and a spin on oil filter. It comes with a roll bar, trailer hitch, tow bar, Bestop soft top, new turn signal switch and additional new wiring. Also included is a spare Tranny and Transfer case, plus a set of decent front fenders. I’ve invested over $5K.
I have too many home projects pending to spend any more time on this little jeep. I need to move on. It needs a garage for the winter and someone needing a project.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7800
“I’m selling my baby! This is a really nice vintage jeep that I rebuilt ground up with my Dad who is a well known roll cage and custom bumper builder. The jeep is fully functional and starts right up… great gas milage, good power for its weight and the low 5:38 gears will crawl up dam near anything! I’ve taken this jeep up Hacket Rock (Hacket Gultch) with no problem.
With a little cosmetic work, this jeep could be one of the nicest vintage jeeps around.
Heres a little more about the jeep:
– Clear title.
– Leafspring over conversion giving it added lift and flex.
– 1 inch body lift.
– Fully boxed in frame.
– Custom and nicely shaped roll cage.
– Custom front and back bumpers.
– Body floor replaced.
– Winch roll cage.
– Early 70’s Chevy Nova 4 cyl engine.
– Power steering.
– High gear, low gear, 2WD, 4WD shift options.
– Custom aluminum firewall.
– Custom center console.
– 1/4 inch real rubber liner throughout the interior floor.
– 33×9.50 tires with some good life left in them.
– Top in good shape but cracked plastic windows.
– Body is in good shape but showing some bondo cracks.
– Little to no rust.”
