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 .

“Classic flat fender 1953 CJ3A Willys Jeep, been in our family for 30 years. Has been sitting in a shed for the past 20. It ran when it was last parked but hasn’t run for 20 years. Will need to be trailered away as the tires are rotted and there is no battery. In pretty good shape for a classic”

“I have a 1949 Willys CJ-3A for sale. This jeep is literally one of a kind, and you won’t find another one like it, especially on Oahu. It makes the perfect island vehicle. It runs fantastic, and has too many new parts to list. Breakdown is below.
1949 CJ-3A Body
1970 Buick Dauntless 225 3.8 V6
4BBL Edelbrock Performer Series Carb
4-Wheel Drive
Power steering (makes a great daily driver)
Tires and rims are brand new, less than 500 miles
Brakes have been upgraded to a ’70 CJ-5 10 inch brakes
Entire brake system overhauled, brake master cylinder, drums, shoes, wheel cylinders
Completely new electrical system, plugs, wires, every wire in it is brand new.
Exhaust system removed, overhauled, and repainted with new gaskets
New alternator
All the belts have been replaced
Herculined the entire inside of the jeep
Every bolt that has been replaced is stainless steel and the body was treated for rust
The entire engine was stripped and overhauled.
Safety and Registration are up to date, jeep is registered as a ’44 Ford GPW incorrectly (previous owner didnt know what he was doing) but it doesn’t hurt anything.
One of the coolest things about this jeep is the ability to fold the windshield down and ride. This thing will get up to 80 on the freeway easily. Power steering makes it easy to use as a daily driver.
Depending on if I sell it soon, Im planning on replacing the seats, entire suspension, and upgrading the intake manifold. These things will all make the price go up respectively.
Don’t bother contacting with low-balls. The price is 20. FIRM. The jeep is a classic, in fantastic condition. It is one of a kind literally. You’ll never see another one like it. No test drives without cash in hand or a cashiers check. You will also have to come to me to look at the jeep. I’m not driving all over the island for wheel kickers.”
UPDATE: *SOLD** Was $500.
There appears to be value here.
“No title. Motor tight. Good winter project or just parts.
Drive train seems good, the guy I bought it from parked it in running condition but that was 20 years ago.
The head is off and the cyl bore is rusty, I am sure the motor can be salvaged but I really don’t have time for another project.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(08/21/2013) If this runs, it might be a good price.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
Something odd has been done to the fenders, but there isn’t a real good shot of them.

Looks like a parts jeep.
“This is a 1950 CJ3A that I got for parts on a project. The tub is in poor shape. The frame looks to be in good shape with no holes or deep pitting. This was used as a farm vehicle by the previous owner. The engine has not been started in about 1-2 years. I have not had it started since I got it last year so I can not confirm the condition of the engine. The rear axle was taken out to be rebuilt. It is not currently on the Willys but It is included with the sale. I have several additional parts included with the vehicle;
1. Metal half hard top and doors that cover the front operator and passenger
2. Frame work and hardware for a soft top. ( canvas not with the kit )
3. Windshield Frame ( no glass )
4. 2- small spout gas tanks
5. 1- large spout gas tank
6. 2- Head light housings and bezels.
7. 1- Jeep valve cover
8. Padding for rear seat ( fair- poor condition)
9. 1- Oil pan with skid plate
In no way is this vehicle road worthy or turn key. Like I said before I got this for parts on a project that I can’t complete now due to injury. If you have a project that needs a frame or parts than this is for you. There is no title or bill of sale with this purchase. Also please don’t ask me to break up the parts. This is a package sale.
Thanks for looking.If you have questions please contact me 973-570-7117”
