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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
This project needs a body.
“49′ Willy’s jeep cj-3a running rolling chassis. Great project. Started as a Frame up restoration but lost interest. I have all the parts except the body email me for more info”
UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $4000.
The seller notes this is the “Go-Devil” motor, but obviously it’s the Hurricane F-head.
“Thank you for looking at this 1953 Jeep Willy’s. This Jeep is in good condition and runs really well too! It is a 4 cylinder, 3 speed transmission. The Willy’s has no rust holes in it and no major dents or scratches. Somewhere along the line it has been really taken care of. The motor has 2,000 miles on the crate engine (it is the “Go Devil” motor) and the tranny was built not long ago.
I have not had this long, but this is what I know about it! Come drive it and experience old history fun!”
UPDATE: Still Available
(11/19/2013) This would make a good restoration or just drive as is.

Why are their animals attached to the jeep?

“Up for sale is a 1949 willys. The motor is a good running 225 buick v6 but will need a water pump as the existing one leaks. The drivetrain including the trans, transfer, and diffs are original. The body is in fair shape for the age, showing some rust in the usual areas but easily fixable. Fenders are solid, having some filler but no rust what so ever just rough bodywork. Has new starter installed and many other brand new parts as well as used that come with it. It’s a good base for a project but I decided to go with a Landcruiser instead. Call or text me for more info and pics…thanks! 575-740-4023”
This brochure that Marc found shows the CJ-3A employed in a variety of jobs. The use of the triangle in the illustration is interesting.
“This listing is for a vintage advertisement. It is an ad for Willys Overland Motors of Toledo Ohio and their universal Jeeps. The ad folds out like a small poster. There is a dealer address stamp on it. I am not positive but I believe this advertisement is from the 1930’s. It is filled with information and pictures from that time frame. It is roughly 17″ x 11″ when it is unfolded.”

“I am selling my project Jeep, we are moving Wednesday and it needs to go. Currently it is torn apart as I was re-finishing the frame. It needs some work, but it is a rare bird. It does not have a powertrain, or seats. Even if you just buy it and take sell it off seperatley as parts you will make money. I would, but I can’t move it and don’t have time to sell it. I am asking 400obo, or I would also take a trade for something that goes boom.”
