About eWillys
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.
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 .
Listed as a ’57, I don’t see anything to suggest it is a DJ-3A.
“1957 willys jeep 4×4. Awesome piece of history. These things were built well. Made to military standards. Motor has been rebuilt and runs great. Trans shifts good. 4×4 hi and low works well. This would be a cool jeep for a swap or restore project or drive it as is.
Interested in a good tig welder. 4×4 rigs. 4×4 four wheelers or anything of real value that interests me. Just ask.”
(10/04/2013) This CJ-3A has the same fiberglass seats as Biscuit.
“53 Willy’s with 283 bored .06 over T90 trans with overdrive 5:11 gears front and back brakes are redone new oil pan gasket hoses starter motor runs strong only thing is needs a gas tank tank is rusted”
Bill Dedo contacted me yesterday. He’s hoping to track down a 1949 CJ-3A of his that his mother sold years ago. He has learned it might be a restoration project in Alta, California. If you happened to have any leads, add a comment to this post.
The engine turns over, but isn’t running at the moment.
“I have a 1949 CJ3A With a new clear Title Its been sitting in a shed since the late 80’s. I purchased this with the thought of a restoration however I’m starting to think I’ll never be that interested in it. Its a Numbers Matching CJ Original Willy’s-Overland L-134″Go Devil”4-cylinder iron block T-90 transmission and Dana 18 transfer case, a Dana 25 front axle and Dana 41 rear axle. The frame and drive train are solid Body on the other hand needs work. Everything is there someone fixed all body sheet metal once from the Fire wall back looks like it was made out of 14 gage its heavy with no holes but will need completely replaced if your doing a restoration. Windshield frame is rusted up with some holes came with a hard top and doors also in bad shape but the right person could fix. Has CJ5 Seats and someone along the line cut a hole in the hood for a vent or something. I’ll be honest for a 1949 that was well used its not that bad. Its painted olive drab but looks as if it may have been red from the factory. drive train turns and everything shifts engine turns and from prior owner says it was running like a top when he parked it. I’m not sure if he is even still alive. I’m asking 1200 for everything this would break me even. If your looking for a nice project this is it. Only serious inquiries. I don’t have allot of time to screw around with showing this to everyone and their brother.”
There’s been a few changes, but it still has the floor starter.
