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 .
(02/18/2013) I believe the body is fiberglass and the front clip is metal. This has a rear PTO I believe, too.
“This Willys Jeep is ready to go anywhere, has the original 4 cylinder godevil in it, PTO works great, 2 new front seats, new tires, front half original, rear half fiberglass, it looks great and runs great lots of fun to drive and gets thumbs up every where we go, Is converted to a 12 volt system. asking 8500, clear title in hand, Thanks.”
In 1950 Provincetown added this CJ-3A and pumper trailer to their equipment.
The caption under this page reads: Provincetown Engine No.6 – c.1950, Willy’s Jeep with Maxim 500 gpm trailer served as Engine 6 from c.1950 into the 1970’s. The pump trailer may have been made by Maxim, as they made many during WWII, probably 500 gpm.
“I’ve got a nice original 49 willys cj3a jeep to trade. Frame has been sandblasted and painted, Floors and braces properly replaced with 16 gauge steel and factory mounts.
new stuff includes:
floors
factory braces
fuel tank
fuel pump
alternator
wiring
water pump
gauges
fuel plumbing
brake plumbing
oil lines
seals
military tires (5)
seats
lots of other s**t I can’t remember
included but not pictured is a newer complete top and doors in good condition and a period correct pto winch
I assembled it with mostly stainless hardware. It’s a pretty cool old jeep, It is slow like you would expect from 1940’s technology but it is a fun ride. I want to trade it for a decent Harley big twin bike.I value it at $10,000 I would trade for a really good shovelhead or evo bike. A bobber or chopper style bike would flip my switch. might consider other cool (a rusty pickup or ford taurus etc is not cool) trades if it makes sense. whatcha got?”
“For your consideration is a 1950 cj3a jeep project vehicle. The vehicle has the original drivetrain, including the L134 flat head motor. The only thing that I believe that is missing are the front seats. Extra parts include axels, a transmission and transfer case, windshield frame and front hood. There is also a set of vintage dualmatic locking hubs”
(03/13/2013) The seller calls this jeep a “Willys T”; can’t say I’m familiar with that model. It runs and may be worth a look.
“1957 Willys T Jeep, fair condition, 4X4, A2000 Warn Wench Included. Vehicle comes AS IS with NO WARRANTY. 4 cylinder motor runs great. Has been repainted BLACK with WHITE letter outlines for type of Jeep.”
Check out the paint job on this jeep. Also, the windshield glas is extra tall. I think this might have been a very nice jeep at some point.
“Runs and drives, 4wheel drive woks fine, Hurricane 4cyl engine. Hood and passenger seat not pictured but I do have them. Passenger seat needs to be redone. Its a great starting point for a great rig. I thought I’d have time for it but I don’t”
UPDATE: **SOLD** … was priced at $1800. The story is told below:
Joe wrote, “I think it’s accurate to say that everything is there, minus the tub and tires… even the floor pan, tailgate, and wheels are there. Unfortunately, the gauges got wet while being stored by police (outside) as evidence. He says it was originally a Fire Jeep, for patrolling, but seldom used… which would explain the lack of rust on all the now-detached parts (hood, fenders, gas tank, etc.).
They caught the “tweeker”, who disassembled this jeep in an apparent drug-induced frenzy. He wasn’t even selling it… just tore it apart: pried off the floor pan; took off the body (now missing); and removed the tires from rims (tires are missing). Talk about a random act of destruction. Just SAD.
The AD:
“My beautiful 1950 CJ3A had 19000 original miles before the tweeker stole it and tore it apart. now I have the frame, engine, transmision, transfer case, axles, wheels, roll bar, hood, grill, tail gate, all in pieces. He cut the pan off with a air chisle. Didn’t damage the frame but tore the pan all to h$@#. I have it all loaded on a trailer, would like to sell as a lot but may be open to parting out. She was beautiful now she is parts and it breaks my heart to look at her.”
“53 Willys Jeep, fresh rebuid on Buick V-6, runs great, power steering tilt wheel, full cage rollbar,custom seats, custom bumpers, 9500 Lb winch like new, 33″ tires like new, Rhino lined, new brakes, 2 jeep gas cans mounted in back, removable back seat, windshield folds down when you are in the mountains.”
Dan forwarded this great find. Looks like there is plenty of value even if it doesn’t run. Given the quick nature of the sale, I’d double check the title.
“Buick V6
Needs TLC and a new home.
Make offer. Need it gone today.”
