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 .

“Willys Cj3a all originals, runs and drives needs brakes, very lil rust, cab or top does not go with the Jeep”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
The tan body is a CJ-2A, but the frame it’s on is either a very late CJ-2A chassis or a CJ-3A chassis or later.
“1949 Willys Jeep CJ2A and CJ3A. Engine turns over but not getting gas. The CJ3A is in parts but most of it is there. Missing one set of seats. This is being sold as a package deal. A great project vintage jeep.”
Either there are protective plates or patches along each side of the body.

“1951 CJ3A – mostly original, runs, drives perfect, stops well. 6v, new stock wiring harness, great tread, engine purs perfectly. Steel body with Willy’s script hood and tailgate. Absolutely no bondo currently driven on road”

(04/16/2019) Has a patched passenger floor. Has a shutoff switch at the battery.
“(text from 12/2019 ad) … 1951 CJ3A bought 4 years ago and had it completely gone through mechanically, new shocks, bushings, tires, frame cleaned up and painted. I left everything else original as I bought it. Fires up every time, drives straight as an arrow and can get up to 60mph. There are just a few minor things that need tending to that I’ll be working on: needs fuel pump gasket, exhaust tip needs to be tacked back in place, and pops out of second gear. Has really been a great Jeep but our family is growing and it’s time. Let me know if you have any questions or need anymore pics.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
(06/01/2020) Looks like a good price.

“1952 Jeep Willys, all original including the body. Its been patched, steel reinforced and is very solid all the way around. Original 6 Volt could stand to be updated as it turns over slow. Runs very nice, drives straight as an arrow and drum breaks work fine. 40k+/- miles. 4WD, three speed standard and clutch are all strong. Like new Power King Tires. New Reupholstered seats. Ideal for someone with a large property or antique plate it and drive around town! Sorry for the dirt but I’ve been tooling around in it! thanks for looking and feel free to ask questions”
