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: **SOLD** Was $2900.
Brett and the Utah eWillys Bureau should be proud of this find. Check out the sort-of-custom body on this jeep. I’d like to check this out more closely to see exactly what’s left of the old body (if anything).
“1951 Willys Jeep. 283 V8 Chevy small block, 4 speed transmission with 33×12.50 tires. Custom built body, new corbeau seats with harnesses. Runs strong, new wiring, new gas tank. I never use it so it just sits in the garage. Time for it to go.”
It looks like there’s been a patch along the driver’s side. Otherwise, this appears pretty stock. It’s not running.
“This antique classic Willys CJ3A Jeep’s frame and body are in good shape with little rust, has original motor and would be a great project. The heads have been machined for unleaded fuel. It has a clean Texas title. This Willys has been parked & garaged for several years and currently not running so will need to be trailered. Sorry, cash upon pick up only and without warranty.”

This might be worth a look.
“willys jeep needs some work. needs paint just had sand blasted runs good”
UPDATE: Still Available
(12/1/09) Note that the jeep has lived its entire life in Wenatchee. The original ad listed this as completely original. While it’s got a few extra addons, I suspect it is mostly original.
“1951 Willy’s, excellent condition, original running gear, 12 volt electrical system, run great, $3,750.00 obo 509-860-3104 leave message”

This Jeep has some personality. It’s a bit beat up, but I like it.
“This is and old Jeep that has been in the family for about 30 years and has just been used on private property to stay out of the weather when hunting which is great and push snow. The engine is the 4cyl. Hurricane with 3 speed manual trans. It starts and runs but has been sitting for some time and will need a tune up and the pinion seals show some leaking. The electrical system is the original 6 volt but starter has been rewound for 12 volt. Generator does not work but alternator does. Snow plow is homemade but does the job. The odometer shows 63827 but stopped working long ago. A water line can be seen but that was years ago and is dry at this time. With this said it would be necessary to trailer home and do some TLC before being roadworthy. I have a clear Missouri title in my name that will be reassigned over to you with a bill of sale. You can email me at floods@earthlink.net Thank you Duane.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is nothing fancy, but appears solid.
“1951 willys cj3a, rebuilt motor in 04′, body sprayed with bed liner, inside, outside and underneath, frame sand blasted and painted, 9k winch mounted on front, works great, needs brake shoes, which i have, and carb kit, which i have, although it still runs fine, and a bunch of extra parts, which will go with the willys, doesn’t use oil, 4 wheel drive works great, used it at my cabin in the Adirondack mnts, sold cabin, no need for willys, ”
Note the unusual rear PTO winch.
“Here we have original Willys Jeep 1951 CJ3A . This little farm jeep runs excellent, the previous owner rebuilt the engine. It drives, and even stops with a great brake pedal. It is also has a PTO driven winch and the half cab with doors. The frame is nice and solid. The body will need some TLC . The floor is ok but the floor under the tool box is gone. Repair panels are readily available through Kaiser Willys Auto Supply. Perfect restoration candidate with optional equip. This is too nice to part out , but if it doesn’t sell I will part it out. You don’t find them often!”
It looks pretty stock and unmolested. I can’t tell if there is rust around the step or not.
“1949 Wills Jeep. Running ready to go. It has a 2.5 Chevy engine in it with a four barrel carb and header. The cool thing is it could have a small block chevy bolted right in. Needs to have the brakes bled then it could be driven home. I do have some 35 inch tires for it, but they would be extra. The hard top does have doors they just are not on it .”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
There are a variety of updates on this jeep. I believe the grille and the body are from a MB or GPW.
“1951 Jeep Willys on a stretched CJ-5 frame. Lots of extras for offroading. Dana front and rear axles, vaccuum braking system, front disc brakes, granny gear, and 320hp inline V-6. Call for details. Priced to sell – moving! Runs good and great in low gears offroading.”
