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 .

“Totally rebuilt & restored. Excellent condition and runs well. This is a real head turner and is fun to drive. 4X4, Warn hubs, roll bar with bikini top, PTO, lots of new and rebuilt parts.”
Check out those headlight bezels … they look a lot like CJ-V35s to me …. The seller has a second ’49 body and parts for sale as well.
“All Org, But the wheels and front hubs. I have Org front hubs. 4 cly flat head. still 6volt. 10 ton pto winch. Also extra set of newer wheels and tires. Used to use hunting all the time. Have’nt used in 15 years just stored in the garage so time to sell! $3200 OBO. I also have another complete 49 body, With fenders and hood I may sell also for $1500”
This looks like a good foundation, but plenty of work left.
“1952 JEEP WILLYS. This is a great project. It comes with a new body. The motor has been painted but not re-built. The cover has been pulled off the transmission and there are no broken gears. The tires are in excellent shape. There is a new exhaust. There are some missing parts. This is a good start on a restoration project. Please feel free to email me with questions. This vehicle is “Sold As Is.” Due to this vehicle being advertised locally, I may end this auction at anytime.”

This has an unusual rig on the back. Lotso rust here.
“Dont know many details about it. Its rusty, but ran back in the spring of this year. Has original 4 cy. 3 spd running gear with stock axles. Has lots of rust. Would most likely run again if you rebuilt the carburetor and filed down the points and put a battery in it. Has Super Swamper Bogger Tires-30 x 12.50 x 15 with lots of tread left. Tires are too wide on the rims and you cannot cut the Jeep very far either way. $350.00 cash gets it all.”
“MUST SEE!!!! ATTENTION HUNTERS: This is a 1952 CJ3A jeep with a Ramsey 8000 lb. electric winch. It would make a good hunting jeep or just fun to drive! Runs good. Body in good condition. Questions welcomed. E-mail questions or call 575-536-3826.”
Here’s a very rare Willys. If the serial number is correct, it is 1 of 2 known of this model, though it has been ‘re accessorized” into a standard CJ-3A.
My investigation into this topic started tonight after Dan spotted this ad. He said, ‘check out the serial number because I think it is a Tractor Jeep’.
I copied there first part of the serial number (451-GD1) and pasted it into Google and hoped for the best. Seconds later, I had my answer. It turns out, the CJ-3A.com website had all the info I needed. There’s an entire page about both the Jeep Tractor and the Farm Jeep, both ‘farm’ versions of the CJ-3A introduced in 1951 and designed specifically for farms.
So, the next time you check out a CJ-3A, double check that serial number.
“This is a solid and strong jeep. It has a unique serial number – 451-GD1 10036.
Engine is a L-134 “Go Devil” – 4 cyl iron block.
Transmission – Dana 18
Front Axle – Dana 25
Rear Axle – Dana 44″
