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 .
That’s not much rope on the front bumper. It looks in good shape.

“I have a 1951 Jeep Willys CJ3A for sale. This girl is fun to drive and with summer here, will be a fun in the sun antique to drive. This jeep looks like it could have crawled up the beaches of Normandy and is a 4×4 that won’t get stuck in the mud. This Jeep is not mint or show quality, but it is in overall good body condition. The upgraded engine is a chevy V6 and it runs very well. It has updated wiring and is street legal. Has the side mounted axe and shovel, gas can, and spare tire. It has a front tow bar so that you can pull it with a 2inch ball to the lake or to your hunting spot. This jeep gets a lot of attention wherever it goes. I”m asking $4,500. I’ve brought the Jeep into the city from storage so if interested give me a call at 913-424-2188 to take a look.

“I was a leader in the off road industry for decades. I use to own the leading off road company. when i was young I built this Jeep from the ground up in 1967. It has only about 8,000 miles on it (95 percent offroad). It has been featured in magazines like Four Wheeler (i can email articles). It has a Stainless Steel body which is probably worth the asking price alone. I had one, my brother has one and we sold one in 1968 to someone, I do not know of any others that were produced like this. It has a Buick V-6 engine (it is special, steel crank not cast) that was producing 225 horsepower for 225 cubic inches Naturally (no turbo, no NOS, no blower). It has a Borg Warner T-10 Transmission with Hurst shifter, Dana 30 open Knuckel front end with positraction (6 gear steel) 3.73 ratio, disc brakes, Dana 44 rear with positraction. And of course Rancho Suspension. The Jeep has only been driven a few miles (under 400 miles in last 25 years and that is on road) since 1985 when my dad died and I lost interest in going off road. It has a miss at 4000 RPM probably due to not being run much. It is not as slow as some Jeeps, it does over 65 MPH in 1st gear! (it has a 4speed). The fastest i have had it is about 120 MPH in 4th and it had more but it was scary at that speed. This is for an Enthusiast or collector, it is street legal but this was built for off-road.
I HAVE ADVERTISED FOR $13500 AND IT IS WORTH OVER $25,000. I HAVE NOW OFFERED AT UNDER $10,000 SOMEONE WILL GET ONE HELL OF A JEEP. SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY. 310 2921182 GENE my price is firm so please do not even respond if you can not afford the asking price”
“This 1951 Willy’s Jeep has a 1976 Buick V6 in it with an electronic ignition (very handy). It has the original transmission with the overdrive. It runs quite well. I have a wife and two kids. It no longer functions in our family program. It needs someone to care for it and love it. It’s been stored in a garage for the last 20 years. It has some rust only on the surface. In my opinion all it needs is a sandblasting job and some Linex. also some gasket replacement underneath. Based on my pricing research this is a good price. I am not willing to sell it for any less. Purely on principal alone.
(05/27/2011) “51 willys jeep for sale. runs and drives, has jeep v6 engine which was a common swap from what I hear. frame is very solid but body was reskinned, looks good but needs a little work. $2500 obo”
(04/08/2011) This is a stock CJ-3A with some rust issues. It runs and drives.
“This jeep has been in my family since 1982. My grandfather did a ground up restore in 1987. He and I used it to for hunting in NY. I had it shiped down here from NY two years ago in hopes to restore it to 1987 condition again. But I don’t see that happening any time soon. I hate to sell it but i guess its just the sign of the times. I have done my research online and know alot about this jeep and know their value. The jeep needs some body work. It runs good. Its been sitting for over 15 years and all I did was put a electric fuel pump on it a battery, new plugs and wires..It took a few mins but it started right up and ran just like it did 20 years ago. I drove it around the farm a few time with the kids and parked it behind my shop where it has sat now for two years. The interior is in good shape but needs a drivers seat.I have the seat but it has a bad rip in it so i took it out the passengers seat is in good condition. I have removed the gas tank due to the 20+ year old gas that was in the tank (and it still ran with that gas in it). I was planing on installing a ploy tank but never did. The jeep also needs a brake job. I do have a new master cylinder for it that also needs to be installed. The motor is a flat head 4, with a foot button starter that still works good. All gages are still in place and all work but the speedo. The hearter even still blows. And the head lights still work ..I did put a new tire when i got the jeep due to the dry rot..the other tires are still somewhat ok… If your are SERIOUS about this jeep , email me and I will send you more detailed pics of it cause i can only put so many on here..”
