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 .

“Our research indicates that this Willys Jeep CJV35/U is one of only 1000 produced and one of perhaps 100 in existence. In 1950, the U.S. Navy contracted the construction of 1000 Jeeps with deep water fording capability and special radio equipment for forward observation duties. Serial numbers ran from 10001 to 11000, making our number 10794 a late production example. The previous owner related that it had been used as a hunting vehicle on his ranch. As such, many original parts are missing, but many remain (hood, excellent headlight bezels, tailgate, etc.). All Naval identification plaques are also present. We recently installed a battery and fuel tank (tank was not original) to get it running, but there are NO BRAKES, making this an ideal project or parts Jeep to be sold AS IS.”
Not sure how much value is here.

Bill spotted this project or parts jeep.
https://nh.craigslist.org/cto/d/gilmanton-1952-cj3-willys-flat-fender/7235839597.html
“This CJ became more of a project than I planned. The jeep is complete, I do have the original seat frames with steel pans. The motor is stuck. I pulled the head and am soaking the cylinders with mystery oil. SO OBVIOUSLY IT DOES NOT RUN! I have new 19 guage floor panels to weld in and a brand new 12 volt battery. Was going to convert it to 12 v. The tires all have decent tread and hold air as they should. It rolls very easily to move around and load onto a trailer. These are getting as rare as hen’s teeth! If it doesn’t sell, I’ll get it running, get it roadworthy and keep it. $1,500.”
UPDATE: Still Available. Has a replacement body.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/789659828490354/
“1949 Willys Jeep CJ-3A. Condition is as you see it. I have a clean title. The body is in pretty good condition, and the underneath looks good, from what I’ve seen. I have a few extra wheels, a new steering wheel, and possibly a couple other parts that can go with it. The first $2500 takes it.”
