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 .
(12/04/2012) Pretty pictures, but not too helpful for buyers.
“Running out of room for fun cars so this one has to go. New or rebuilt in the last year: radiator, carb, distributor, coil, plugs, wires, engine seals (except head gasket) including rear main, axle seals inner and outer, brake master and wheel cylinders, brake lines and hoses, tires and tubes, full top bow set, canvas half cab. Lots of fun, reliable, and safe with recent brake work. Rust through on passenger floor (approx 8″x1″) and tool box (entire bottom) that does not affect body integrity, otherwise just surface rust here and there”
(03/23/2013) The price on this looks good. The body looks like a CJ-2A/3A rather than a ’44’. The windshield appears to be a 3A rather than a 3B.
“My wife and I are getting rid of our beloved CJ-2A Willy’s Jeep. We have had this rig for around 10 years and have done a great deal to it. It still needs some minor work as all restoration go, but baby runs good and catches the eye. We have had it in the Ocean Fest Parade many times and we take it on rides to the beach, dunes and the hills. Never hot rodded and adult owned. It has the F-134 4 cylinder, new carb, water pump, head gasket, clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing, master cylinder, exhaust, brakes, bench seat for two extra passengers, roll bar, bikini top, spare tire, 5 gallon Jerry Gas Can, new gauges, new fuel tank, electric fuel pump, CB radio, and more stuff. The body was removed, most rust removed or treated, body was undercoated, frame was wire brushed down, treated with good quality rust kill, primed and undercoated. Paint is a Fountain Green with metal flake. several repairs on the body was done, but not perfect. We did it this way so we could use it and not just for parades or shows. We have 3 Border Collies and they love the ride. The engine is from a 50’s Willy’s. The tub is a “44” and the windshield is off a CJ 3B. Many Jeeper folks do that due to the look. We have a windshield frame that comes from the 40’s and the rig also comes with an extra Tranny with Transfer case and other extra parts that was on it originally. It also has a tow bar, magnetic lights for towing and small brush guard, mainly for the tow bar to secure it to when driving the jeep.
My wife loves “Smokey the Bear” and that’s what we put on it.
You can contact me at : willysdude47@hotmail.com When you do, put “Willy’s” in the subject box and I’ll know you’re real. Anything else will be considered spam and dumped where it belongs. Take care.”
The seller notes this has “all new everything”, but that’s certainly not the case. This includes a rear PTO.
“1950 cj3a This jeep was brought down to bare frame and fully restored. The frame was perfect just sandblasted and painted no patches. All new everything. Left it original 6volt rebuilt starter and generator, new wiring, guages work. Has rear PTO. As you see in the pictures I couldn’t bring myself to redo the tailgate perfect patina. Very nice jeep just in time for summer.

Hugo lives in Uruguay and has spent four years restoring this CJ-3A (see a report from 2011 here). As you can see from the pictures, he started with a pretty rough vehicle. As the pictures demonstrate, he seems to be enjoying the results of his hard work. Thanks for sharing Hugo.

(03/05/2013) This seller is buying this along with another car and doesn’t need it. This includes a rear PTO, Drum, and Saw.
“This is a nice car, it looks great!!
The car has had a lot of work done, and it runs well. It was owned by a mechanic who was able to give it TLC. The tires are new. This is not a rust bucket. I took some a pictures up close of a surface rusted area which is minor on RH side.
The car is with a Cadillac and I have to buy the pair, I am a Caddy guy and want to move this one.
