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 .

“Willys CJ3A Jeep has original motor, the heads have been machined for unleaded fuel and a rebuilt carburetor. The frame and body are in good shape and has a clean Texas title. This Willys has been parked & garaged for several years and currently not running so will need to be trailered. Sorry, cash upon pick up only and without warranty.”
(05/15/09) “Great Classic. Comes with gun racks, game carrier new tires and camo paint. I’ve had the Jeep for over 25 years. It has served me very well. Almost everything on it has been redone and it’s ready to roll. OPTIONAL – custom made crow’s nest tower blind – $1500. I also have a new (still in the box) 9000lb Warn winch with cradle and wiring – $600.”
“1952 Willys Arctic Top Jeep. It has a good running Buick V6 from a conversion 15 years ago. It has a 3 speed manual T90 with Dana 20 t Casr. Dana 27 closed knuckle front axle and a 44 in the rear , both have 5.38 gears. Hudson steering conversion. It runs and drives good. Big 11″ drum brakes and A GREAT HEATER. Custom so it actually throws heat. SHE IS NOT PRETTY. made as a hunting rig so it is reliable and driveable. Top comes off in 15 minutes or so. OLD SCHOOL build all the way. Great rig. In the last year it has been driven to the Tricities and back. It is in Ellensburg now but I will drive it back tomorrow night. It is that good of a rig. Primitive and Jeepish. Trades: The only trades I will entertain would be an enclosed trailer 6 X 12 Minimum in size or a Honda CR500. Maybe a Supermoto if its got a plate. Thats it.”
It looks like 1 1/2 parts jeeps, but this may be a good price if the body isn’t too bad.
“Two Jeeps, one complete 49 CJ3a with clear tittle. Engine is moisture locked, but didnt run when it turned over. Drive train is fine, clutch, trans and tranfer case all functional,solid frame and body. The second unit has no body, but a complete running gear and motor. This motor has been been rebuilt with many new parts and a 12 volt system, but is also moisture locked, this frame is solid and has a complete PTO with shaft.”
(11/02/09) I’m thinking this might have a replacement body. It looks good.
“It’s a nice solid Jeep. Great Buick V-6, 5:28 gears, 4spd with overdrive, nice roll bar, nice BFG tires. Customize or use as a daily driver. make me an offer or trades. 541 297 3668”
(03/30/2010) Based on these pics I’d say the body on this is less than ok.
“1952 jeep willys cj3a. Seems to have all the original parts. Ran when i parked it three years ago. Body is ok considering the age. must sell so make an offer. i don’t check my email so call 859 583 1369”
“1951 CJ3A Willys Jeep. The Good: Complete, mostly original, flat-four. Also includes full 6-point cage, new tires, new shocks, new gas tank and lines, and new brake lines. The Issues: It has been sitting for a while and was in the middle of a 12-volt conversion that was never finished (no generator or alternator currently) when I bought it, wiring needs attention, turns over and starts, has a couple rust-out spots under the rear tail lights, quater size hole under the drivers seat in the pan, and rust in the rigger body braces under the body near the frame (where the wood was located). No pink slip.
I bought it as a project and have not had the time to finish it. It had been sitting for a while prior to me buying it… I massaged the cylinders with some Marvel oil, added some fresh gas to the carb and it cranked over and it tried to run. Sputtered, puttered, but ran. Since then, I have replaced all the gas lines, cleaned the new tank (it had old gas in it), added two inline filters, new plugs, new wires, and there it sat. Thus, I know it’s not frozen and only needs minor tweaking to run.”
