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 .
UPDATE: Brett learned more about this jeep. Check in the comments for more info.
Brett forwarded this CJ-3A. It looks solid, though it will need a few updates to be road legal.
“This is a 1951 Willis Jeep Antique. Has roll bar and canvas top. Good running condition with good tires.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $950.
It appears complete, but probably has rust issues.
“this is a willy’s overland jeep (1950)-needs restored-engine turns over-bought new ignition parts last year but never finished getting it running-has some rust holes(not to bad)-i have original manuals(service and owners)-have fla title (owner signed) but not transferred-was last running in 2001.”
Here’s a rough CJ-3A that will be auctioned by www.elcoauctions.com Saturday, Oct 16, at 10AM.

(06/17/2010) It sure looks like there is light rust in some of the corners, but that might be an optical illusion.
“I may regret selling this because I know I will not find another CJ3a in such original, virtually rust free, unmolested condition. This is a numbers matching 1950 Willys Jeep CJ3A with Power Take OFF (PTO) and Koenig hardtop. Almost everthing on the Jeep appears to be original. Even the seats, seat covers, and seat springs all look like the original ones to me. The body is very straight, and virtually rust free, having only surface rust. Floors are solid as well. The frame is perfect, no cut places, or damage anywhere. The hard top is in excellent condition. I started the Jeep a year ago and it ran very well with no smoking. I drove it around and shifted through the gears no problem. I changed the oil and filter, trans oil, T-case oil, and differential oils. It does need all new brakes, master cylinder, and wheel cylinders to be safe to drive. The rear two wheels are original wheels, but the front two are not, so it will need two original wheels, or wheels of your choice if you restore. This Jeep was owned by a farmer in Pacolet SC for 40+ years, and I was told it was stored up in a barn for that time. This would be a very easy restoration. Search the country over and you will not find a survivor like this one, in this condition.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.

The body doesn’t look too bad, but the seller indicates it is. This appears to have been a nice build at some point.

(11/15/09) This has either a repo tub or a M-38 tub. I can’t quite tell which.
“Willys jeep for sale, all complete with a 225 V-6 motor (runs) aother than that it is stock with newer tires and dana 41 rear. started the project but running out of time and enthusiasm to finish it. has tilt steering column and seats need to be upholstered. Tub is after market and essentially rust free, all primered and ready to paint. Comes with two stock fuel tanks and one after market aluminum fuel cell.

This looks like a good price and a good start on a build.
