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 .

It looks like an early 50s CJ-3A to me …
“

This looks like a good deal to me.
“This is a 1943 Willys, It runs but has been modified in a few ways. The things that have been changed are: seats, added roll bar, steering column, tires, and motor. This is all that I am aware of. It runs out fine, but I wanted you to be aware of everything up front. Thanks for looking, you can contact me at 527-8605”

As for the jeep, it turns out to be a pretty stock M-38 that runs. It’s got some rough edges and needs some paint. It’s got the dual battery setup. It could use new seat covers and a new gas tank and a few other items. A professional mechanic has done some work on it and can provide more specific information.
Except for that bump in the hood, this looks like it was a good solid build. Non runner now.
“Started to rebuild and ran out of time. Two bodies 2 trannys,transfer cases. Everthing must go. Need more room in shop. $3500.00 takes it all..”

(08/10/09) Here’s a very early CJ-3A with a serial number of # 12041
“1949 Willys Jeep-CJ 3A, 62,000 miles, PTO winch – tow bar – roll bar – warn locking hubs – half cab with doors, 4 cy Jeep engine – 6 volt system – This Jeep was purchased by my father in 1960 as a hunting vehicle.

(12/27/2008) Here’s what appears to be a completely restored CJ-3A + trailer. Not many specifics on what was rebuilt.
“1950 JEEP CJ-3A WITH TRAILER NEW TIRES, SEATS, SPRINGS, SHOCKS, BATTERY, LIGHTS, WINDSHIELD, HOOD, FENDERS, BUMPER, WINDSHIELD FRAME, AND TUNE UP KIT . REBUILT FLAT HEAD 4 . ”
UPDATE: Original listed for $2400, an eWillys reader got a great deal on this jeep.
This looks like a good price. Nice turbine rim on the back to boot.
“Nice shape — no rust — original engine/tranny runs great – converted 12 volt — lockout hubs – chrome wheels — bikini top — roll bar — tow bar ”
(07/25/09) Is it just me or does the rear passenger side corner look sharper than normal?
“REDUCED! Private party, consignment Sale! Right here in Prunedale, 3 speed, 4 wheel drive, 4 cylinder, Bikini Top. Runs good. Price good this weekend. Bring Cash for this super deal!! “
It’s rough.
“Jeep CJ-3A serial # 24012 Last titled in Colorado. Lost title. Ready to restore.”
