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 .
(08/21/09) It appears the suspension is customized as well.
“Stainless Steel Body (Body cost 6000.00) 350/350hp 4 bolt with 350 trans with extra clutches. Assembled with Advanced Adapters parts. Less than 1000 miles on engine and trans. Aluminum custom built radiator. Over 17,000.00 invested.”
This appears to be a package deal. It looks like this ’49 has a CJ-2A windshield.

It looks great, but these big prices just aren’t holding up at all in this economy.
“
Total off frame restoration, every thing new, rebuilt motor, clean title $ 21,500.00 OBO More pics available. Many years , a lot of work, and a lot of money in this vehicle”
“new chevy 350 motor , 350 trans, 10×15 cragar ss rims brand new,mickey thompson I tires n50-15, 3.5 lowering blocks, all chevy drive train”
“This is a great project vehicle that I just don’t have time to work on. It has been parked for many years in hopes of restoring it. The last time we tried to start it up, the engine (a big block chevy engine) started fairly easily so it is my hope that it would run with a tune-up. The body is in pretty good shape with some surface rust. If you are looking for a Willy’s to restore to original, this isn’t the one for you as some modifications (diamond plating, different engine, seats) have been made. I have quite a few parts and accessories – tune-up parts, new (gently used) tires, a new hood and tail gate, etc. call Ian at 206-853-1392”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500
Between the PTO Winch, the rims, the windshield – glass -wipers, there appears to be plenty of value here.
“1951 CJ3A Willys Jeep, 6 cylinder,PTO winch, Aluminum rims, Needs lots of work.”
UPDATE: Probably sold.
It’s got a fiberglass body. This looks to be a pretty good price.
“NICE LITTLE JEEP. FIBERGLASS TUB, DAUNTLESS 226 V-6 MOTOR, (LOTS OF POWER), 4WD AND MORE. CALL WITH ANY QUESTIONS.”
This sure looks in great condition for the price.

It’s got a few updates.
“1950 Willys Flat fender CJ3A Jeep. Has a GM V-6 motor. Runs great. Good brakes, motor, 4WD, and has a PTO on rear. It has been sandblasted inside and out, and re-painted desert sand tan. It has a new windshield, all new rubber around windshield, all new wiring, and a really cool GPS speedometer. Almost new tires. New tail lights. Some rust on two of the hat rails underneath, but not bad. Original floors are solid, with no rust. It has been completely undercoated, under cab, and inside cab on floor. All the gears, 4wd, and high low shifters work. PTO works well also. Has a bikini top. She is ready to go. It does need the dust cover on clutch. It was not on it when I bought it, and I never had a reason to get one. They are available at any salvage yard. This is a solid, strong running jeep, with no leaks, no smoke, and runs great. Also has a tow bar. All new gauges, and they all work! Asking $3100.00. No deadbeats please. Call Rick with any questions at 816-587-9814 between 7am to 4pm.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800.
There’s a number of good upgrades on this rather stock looking jeep.
“1949 CJ3A frame up restoration, rear 44 with Warn floating axle kit with hubs & posi, front posi with hubs, all new 11″ Bendix brake kits, rebuilt t-90 with extra low first gear ( from FC) rebuilt transfer-case and rebuilt Warn Over-drive, has new tank and f-head 134 engine, rebuilt radiator, body was taken off and painted inside and out. very nice winshield frame and glass, Rancho spring lift, no gease or gime to deal with, a 12 year project, drives out well. Call for more info. $4,800”
Few specifics in the description. I think it’s got my seats.
“I took it apart, cleaned it up, put it back together. New; carb, coil, dist, starter, brakes, clutch, flywheel, suspension, rebuilt tranny and transfer. The drivetrain is all original. The cage is bolt in. Full soft top and bikini top, both in excellent condition. Soft top will not fit with cage installed. It is titled, tagged and insured, but I do not recommend it for the street or for anyone that can’t work on it themselves. It’s noisy and rides rough. It leaks oil. ”
This looks good. A nice paint job and this should look pretty sharp.
“1952 Willys Jeep model CJ3A, Soft top with doors that are not shown in the pictures. Original type engine with 12 volt conversion. Tail gate welded over with flar pannel. Runs and is drivable on the street or off road. Parts and mechanical manuals supplied.”
