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 $2000.
Unclear if it runs or not.

“Hi, I am selling a 1948 Willys Jeep CJ3A in good condition. It has no rust throughs, the drivetrain works as it should, and everything works. It shows 51,XXX miles on the odometer, and yes both the odometer and speedometer work so I believe it is the original mileage. This Willys was inspected by a good mechanic who works on CJ2A and CJ3A machines and he thought the frame was good and overall one of the nicest unrestored models he has ever seen.
This is a great Sunday drive / cabin / hunting / off road machine for less than the cost of a new Rhino or ATV and still has some character! All parts are available for these machines, and because they are not-so-complicated you can do most everything yourself. Use this one “as is” for a long time, or restore to parade condition without too much trouble. Look at the value of fully restored Willys and expect to see $15,000-$25,000 price tags.
This Willys has spent most of its life on a Montana ranch, so no salt and thus no rust. The last 12 years or so it has been in northern Minnesota cabin Lake country. It can be seen by appointment near Fortune Bay Casino on Lake Vermilion. Note that I do have a dual axle car hauler trailer and also willing to sell it. For $10,000 tow the Willys and the trailer home behind your truck. Or, delivery by the seller is possible. Will consider a barter deal
This is the nicest Willys of its kind that I have seen within 500 miles of Minneapolis in the last several years, thanks for looking and please do drop an e-mail if interested and we will talk very soon. ”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4950

“Willys jeep hard top, body rough, engine in pieces in back, parts vehicle only (no title). Has all original parts, gauges steel wheels seats in good shape. Lots of good parts on this one, if you are doing a restore this is the parts rig for you. Original tyranny and transfer case, original axles. Price is negotiable.”

Here’s another body that’s a hybrid CJ-5-flattie. Appears to have an MB/GPW windshield.
“this 1951 Willy’s was a gift for my wife. it has had over $3500.00 worth of parts and labor done to it. new transmission tires rims all new brakes on and on!! it has classic plates and tags. so when you put some tail lights on it you can drive it on the road. it need some seats ! the starter bendix just went out so it needs the starter rebuilt.”
The funky hardtop seems familiar. Have we seen this one before? Seller believes it to me a 1947, but the rain gutter suggests it is a 3A, so the year is likely 1949 or later.
“I have a 1947 willys, it is a cj3A. It has a 4cil engine original and 3 speed tranny. The engine is looked but it is complete. Asking 1800 o.b.o title on hand. I don’t need help selling it. No pay pall,check, Cash is good. trades??? may be. Prize is negotiable up to an extent..”
