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 .

(05/09/2014) No title and does not run. Has rust.
I have a 1951 Willys Jeep CJ3A. It’s a nice original old Jeep, no 350 engine in there. The old Super Sonic flathead is still in there though its seen better days. The body is rusty but if you like patina it’s ready to go. If shiny paint is your thing it would probably be more cost effective to replace the tub. The frame and running gear look good though. The ol CJ rolls, steers and all 4 tires hold air. That’s the extent of its mobility. It hasn’t run since the ’80s. There’s no title. I bought it not too long ago on an impulse and now I’m thinkin “what was I thinkin!?” I would consider a trade for a nice vintage truck – 60’s or older“
Before restoration began on this CJ-3A This has a Blue Star hardtop.
After Restoration (and with his wife Lauren posing in front of it)
The CJ-3A in the top photo was listed on eWillys back on August 30th, 2012. It looked pretty sound to me, but according to buyer and restorer Scott Mills, a mountain of bondo was underneath the paint. Beautiful work Scott!
He writes, “I found this 49cj3a on your site 2 years ago- after sanding and a little blasting I found that someone used what seemed like 10lbs of body filler and rivets! As many of my purchases go, buyers remorse plagued me for months! Well, I replaced panels and spent hours hammering out the tub. The only splurge was a new hood and stock rims, I managed to save most everything else. My wife has a fashion blog here in Houston and used my Cj3a in this recent post:
Here is the Jeep before I cut out 50% of the tub, it looked great in these photos, little did I know…”
ANOTHER POST RESTORATION PIC (SEE MORE RESTORATION PICS HERE):
Listed as a 1949 CJ2, this may be a 1949 CJ-3A.
“1949 Willys Jeep CJ2. Awesome, new ground up restoration. Meticulously detailed. 470 miles. Original Hurricane 4 cylinder engine, 3 speed manual transmission with overdrive. ALL parts finished with super durable powder coat. Ready for new assignment.”
http://eauclaire.craigslist.org/cto/4615840520.html
No battery box, so this must be a replacement body.
“Willys Jeep runs good. Completely refurbished, engine idles very well and mechanically sound. Has a working winch. Military tread tires like new with a spare. No title for this jeep. Great jeep for hunting and for a ranch. Asking $5,200.00 cash only. Post will be deleted when jeep is sold.”
