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 $1600
“1951 Willys CJ3A Military. Olds Spitfire V6 mates directly ot trans., new tires. This is a project. It was running 3 years ago before son dismanteled it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The pics show the looks very straight.
“1949 WILLYS JEEP CJ-3A UNIVERSAL 4 X 4, ORIGINAL engine(rebuilt), 257 miles(odometer not hooked up), WINCH ON FRONT, 6 volt converted to 12 volt, Good Working Condition, New Willys-Overland Jeep Parts List Manual included ($40 value), Seats need to be reupholstered, Doors Included but need cleaned, CURRENT UP-TO-DATE TAG”
It’s a running CJ-3A. I can’t tell what the rust situation is. It could be a very good price.
“Willys CJ-3A with title. Drive it home today for $1450.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $19,990

“I have a CJ3A with an M38 body (early repro) that has been in dry storage for 6 yrs. It is in mid resto. The running gear is complete and completely redone. All new leaf springs with xtra leaf, clutch, exhaust, brake lines and hoses, every gasket and seal for engine trans and xfer case. The frame was completely sandblasted and repainted with new rear bumper and all new bolts where necessary. The body is sitting on the frame, not mounted. I have MANY new parts and EXTRAS, all pieces to finish the job with exception of a wiring harness. I will include the original Koenig hardtop. It needs some work to be nice but it is complete and functions properly. I would need notice to show. As I said it is in storage. I can be reached at 603-783-1209.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
This is a great looking road and trail jeep.
“This my baby. I have had this jeep for 20 years and had a blast. Now it is time to pass it on maybe. This jeep runs and drives great, everything works. It has Buick 231 V6 with a 2 barrel rochester. It has the original 3 speed transmission and Dana 18 twin stick transfer case. Dana 44 Rear, 27 Front. Both have been convetered over to 4:27 gears, powerlocks, and 19 spline axles. It did have a warn overdrive but I took it out, they like to break a lot…”
Here’s a CJ-3A that still has the 6 volt system. This might be a good find if you want to restore a CJ-3A without too much work.
“This is a very nice original jeep. (very rare). Most have been modified heavily. The only thing modified are seat belts, roll bar, lockout front hubs, and of course wheels and tires. The original engine, transmission and transfer case are still under the hood! It is still 6 volt with a new battery. I had the clutch replaced a few months ago and the mechanic didn’t do it right so I haven’t driven it since then. I knew I should have done it myself!!! It wasn’t aligned properly so it has a vibration. I haven’t had the time to fix it myself and I don’t trust anyone to do it for me. It needs a new accelerator pedal linkage and he’s ready for all of the fun you can handle … Anyway thanks for shopping by and you can call or text me at my cell# 214-616-9911 (yes I do live in OKC, just haven’t changed my cell phone). I just don’t have the time to keep Willy up and would like to see him get a new good home.”
I’m pretty sure the other stuff isn’t included.
“Came from CJ2a should fit 3a. Needs Sanding and a coat of paint”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This isn’t a perfect restoration, but it looks good. I’m pretty sure that’s a CJ-2A body though, unless someone put CJ-2A corner brackets on a CJ-3A body.
“GROUND UP, BODY OFF RESTORATION, 1951 CJ-3A, 2172 MILES SINCE COMPLETION, ENGINE & DRIVE LINE HAVE BEEN GONE THROUGH INCLUDING NEW CLUTCH, ALL NEW BRAKING SYSTEM, NEW EXHAUST, NEW LIGHTS, 12 VOLT CONVERSION, REMANUFACTURED STARTER, NEW BATTERY, NEW BELTS & HOSES, NEW IGNITION PARTS, NEW DUPONT PAINT (FACTORY FARM BLUE), STARTS, RUNS & DRIVES GREAT, GOOD HEATER WORKS GREAT, NEW SOFT TOP & DOORS, ALL NEW GAUGES INCLUDING SPEEDO WHICH WAS REPLACED DURING RESTORATION …”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
“Jeep is complete with stock engine, trans, etc. Bought for project car.”
