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 .
I found this image on the web at a fake webpage (on of those pages that aggregates a bunch of misc stuff in hopes of getting click throughs). It looks like a pretty cool build. Anyone ever seen it or know any history?
UPDATE: Still Available
(11/01/2010) Check out the defrost system on this rig. Anyone know if this is an aftermarket product or custom? This has a variety of updates.

UPDATE: Brett pointed out there are some tool indents on the side — I gotta agree, so this is probably a 2A of some vintage.
The price looks good.
“Runs great, very old school, superswampers, lifted, Novak Adapted Xfercase and Transmission, 305V8, I drive this to work at the academy 12 months out of the year.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
The seller of the body has thrown in a running CJ-3A for combo price of $2500. I have to say, I’d really like this combo. I think that’s a good price.
“1952 jeep. runs and drives.comes with new fiberglass body. $2500.00 or maybe make an offer? teach the kids how to drive.family resto project,who knows”
Seller notes it is a CJ-3A with a 2A windshield.
“49 Willys Jeep CJ3A. Mostly stock with 4 cyl, 3 speed transmission. Drives well, good mechanical condition. Newer tires, brand new shocks and springs, less than 6 months old. New exhaust and muffler. Converted to 12 volt, has radio, CB, fog lamps, spare tire mount and tow bar. I bought jeep a couple years ago and just haven’t had the time to do much to it, now moving so won’t have a garage to store it in like I do now and don’t want to keep it out side. Is an early CJ3A and has a CJ2A windshield. $5000 or best offer.”

UPDATE: This CJ-3A sold for $9700 via eBay.
Steve sold this restored CJ-3A. If you want to see a well done, complete restoration, check out all these pics.
“It is painted Luzon Red with Universal Beige trim. http://gallery.me.com/jstephen1h#100049”
This looks preetty rusty.
“1948-1953 Jeep CJ3A. Body not salvageable except for windshield frame. Running gear in decent shape. Motor turns freely. Hate to see it go to the scrap yard. Email for info.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4250.
(06/27/2010) It looks like the driver’s side of the body has been patched.
“1949 Willys CJ-3A 4×4 4cyl, roll bar NO tops, good shape, runs great.”
This is supposed to be all original. It might be a good find for an east coast CJ.
“1952 Willys Jeep. All original down to the 6 volt system. has been in storage for a while but does run. $2700 or trade for pontoon boat. Please call 863-860-1725”
