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: Price dropped to $8000.

“This is an nice 70 year old Willys that fires right up. It has the original engine and transmission. This is a very simple Jeep that will make for a fun Sunday driver. The oil has just been changed and is ready for you to take a spin. Would be great for a beach cruiser or a hunting lease as well.”

Has sat for a few years.
“Has been setting for the last four years. Tires are like new, except for the spare. Will need a new fuel pump and battery. Carburetor will probably need to be rebuilt from setting. Has new shocks. I have the back seat frame and a new front bumper that goes with it. I have a clean Texas title. ”

“This is a 1950 CJ-3A with an L-134 Go-Devil 4 cyl engine, T-90 Transmission and D18 Transfer case. It does not run.
Frame:
Overall excellent. Some rust in spots but no rot or evidence of repair.
Body:
Extremely rough. Likely beyond repair. Fenders are also rotted. Hood is solid but does have a wide shallow dent. Top bows are still present but will need extensive repair if they are to be used.
Engine:
L-134 Go-Devil. It is not stuck but I have made no attempt to start it. Condition aside, it appears very original right down to the clips that hold the fuel and vacuum lines together. Air cleaner, oil filter, fuel pump are likely all original 3A parts. The starter was recently removed and is not included.
Transmission and Transfer case:
Both stuck. Hand brake has sustained damage and will need to be replaced. Some components possibly salvage but this will need a complete rebuild or replacement.
Axles:
D41 rear and D25 front. Two of four wheels stuck.

Jeep has Rare High Output “Supersonic” engine in it (dealer upgrade or owner upgrade back in the 50’s; 68hp engine vs. 60hp of the regular L134). Radiator and Fenders are currently removed due to replacing intake with a new Carburetor. Gas tank has been boiled out and relined. 4 stock 16″ wheels replacement wheels to go with it.

“1949 Willys Jeep CJ3A Completely Restored”
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $2000.
It’s a project.
“ve had this willys for 4-5 years, and Ive been building it dreadfully slow. The time has come to pass it to the next guy. Im only selling the body, Title and frame but may possibly sell as a roller. The frame alone cost me $3000 to build, Its a Throttle Down Kustoms frame built out of 3/16th square tubing and mandrel bent. The body needs the final welding done to it to finish it off. I Rebuilt it from the Cowl back with new body panels. Im into the body about $2500. Will include a ton of builders parts Ive accumulated over the years. The frame hasn’t been modified in anyway so its ready for your LS1, 350 Small block, or Any other engine you can make fit. Setup for toyota axles but you could put Narrowtrac Dana 44’s from a wagoneer easily enough. Clear Colorado Title in My Name. Price drop Will take $2000 OR Trade for Subaru AWD cars”
