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 .

There appears to be some stainless parts on this. It might be a good value.
“
1953 Willy’s Jeep, Original 4 cylinder flat head motor. Rebuilt with only 10,000 miles. Warn overdrive, Rancho shocks and Rancho 3 inch lift kit, converted from original 6v to 12v.30in BF Goodrich all terrian tires, chrome tail gate and heavy duty chrome front bumper. runs great, must sell.”
It doesn’t run, but appears complete. Based on the year, I’d say this is a CJ-3A, but the bow holders on the driver’s side suggest CJ-2A.
“It’s a pretty great jeep. I really, REALLY hate having to sell it but, as we all know the economy sucks. Anyways, about the jeep: Of course it doesn’t run it’s been sitting for about 2 years, under cover about 1 year 6 months. Mostly electrical work is needed, and I imagine there is a load of work to be done under the hood. Ran and drove 2 years ago. Stock cover is still in great condition, just needs a thorough wash. Interier is dusty and smelly. Hundreds of extra parts laying around. (Doubles of what’s on the jeep already). NOT a parts vehicle, or un-finished project. Just needs a good strong elbow or two on her for a while.
Will most likely need all 4 new tires, but they haven’t been filled with air in a long time so they might still work, who knows Lol. All are welcome to take a look if you like, shoot me an offer first and we’ll see where we can go from there.”

The body could use a new pan.
“Great little Jeep that has had much work done. Around $4500 spent (all receipts included) – New brake system – cylinders and pipework, exhaust, radiator, gas tank, seats, brake and speedo cables, NDT tires, black powder coated rims. Engine fully rebuilt at proffessional engine shop. Everything done to original 1950 Willys Jeep spec and repro parts used. Needs bodywork, gauges and electical harness installed to complete….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2300.
This looks like a good price.
“Great deal. need to sell a 1950 Willys jeep, original 4 cylinder motor, 1 barrel carburetor, great 4×4 vehicle for restoration. Asking for $2300.00 will consider only reasonable offers!!!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This looks mostly stock. So, the engine smokes like all old jeeps do, but the jeep is in great running condition? Is there a tiny disconnect there?
“This is a 1952 Willy’s CJ3-B. This is a civilian jeep that was purchased from a farm in New Mexico. When we got the jeep it was all there. It had no rust and was running (poorly but running) and the breaks didn’t work at all. The jeep has been straightened and painted and it is all metal. There is no bondo on this jeep the body was straight except for a few dents that were removed by the body shop with out using filler with all the original sheet metal. It had the original paint on it when we got it. To prevent the paint on the inside from getting damaged we had them put a “spray on bed liner” type material down on the inside of the tub and inside the fender wells that is the same color as the paint. The head gasket on the original (to my knowledge) flat head motor was replaced. The head was machined smooth and the deck was prepped. Brakes were torn down and repaired and function as they did in 1952. The jeep is in great running condition and can be seen locally by appointment. It runs and drive fantastically. It smokes a little sometimes like all old jeeps do. We are located in Wingate just out side of Monroe North Carolina.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5000
(10/11/09) I’m not sure what’s on the hood.
“This jeep is in excellent condition. Has bucket seats, strong running four cylinder motor, three speed standard transmission and a great heater. Comes with four 600/16 studded snow tires, ice chains, and a full soft top with doors. Great winter work vehicle and tons of fun in the summer. Reasonably priced. Call 406-461-6894”

I’m guessing this is a CJ-3A. It will be going up for auction. Those are the most unusual doors I’ve ever seen.
“To be sold at Auction. If you would like more information email tiger@tigerauctioneering.com or call 208-503-0235 and place your bid.”

These look familiar, don’t they Chris? I could use the wipers ….
“I have these two old relics, ready to add to your yard art collection, or perhaps to help breathe life back into your other Willys Jeep project. No VIN’s, no tags, no title. For parts salvage value only. Must be towed away. One is what is left of a 1948 CJ2A, and the other is a 1951 CJ3A. One extra poly fuel tank, one has a PTO (big), one has a Buick V6, the other has the original rare Hurricane six. Trashed and tired, still cool. $300 cash money. Van Nuys location.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
(10/11/09) This is looks ready for the trails.
“1951 WILLYS JEEP CJ-3 FOR SALE WITH TOP AND DOORS AND WINCH RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT CALL ME”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
(07/03/09) It looks pretty good.
“1949 Model- CJ-3A. 2 door, New body & paint (yellow), mechanically sound.Comp restore, new trans, new fuel pump. Vehicle located in Lyons, NE.”
It looks like there’s been some changes to the floor boards — probably rusted out and were replaced.
“We are selling our 1950 CJ-3A. We have used this Jeep to explore many trails in Oklahoma and Arkansas. The Jeep is nearly origional with only bolt on accessories and could easily be restored to origional condition if desired. The body is in very good shape with only a little panel straightening needed. I haven’t found any rust on the Jeep except for the hat channels which have been strengthened, but would require new for restoration. This CJ is very solid….”
