About eWillys
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.
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 .
“I have a 1960 Willys CJ3 with working 4×4, working wench and remote with about 6 feet of cable, has a stereo and a bikini top. The paint has been redone last year it is camoflauge with a clear coat, good looking jeep. Makes an excellent off road vehicle, I have yet to go anywhere that it hasn’t gotten me through, would be a great deer lease or ranch vehicle. It has antique tags good thru Feb 2013. The windshield is cracked but you can still see through it very easily, good tires. Make me an offer but no ignorant offers will be considered, I WILL NOT RESPOND VIA EMAIL SO CALL OR TEXT might be interested in trades text with what you have in mind thanks 512 7 zero one 3 five 6 zero text for pics”
I received an email from Paul the other day and the subject read ‘Refreshing’. One quick look at the picture in the email explained what he meant (see the 1st picture below).
Yep, that is one pretty jeep!
Using the keyword “Wailea” I started tracking down more pictures of it. It turns out Colin has a couple of them too, as does a friend of his. So, here are a few of this jeep that is still owned by the Wailea Hotel in Maui (boy, after today’s cold weather, Maui is sounding awfully nice!)
More pictures I found on the internet:
And from Colin, you can see the jeep prior to the stenciling:
(02/11/2012) There might be some good value here, though it needs work of some kind.
“1956 CJ3A Flat Fender Fiberglass Jeep on a 69 CJ frame, Spicer 44, Locker Front End, Straight Thru Transfer Case, Narrowed 9″ Ford Rear Diff, Chevy 350 w/ Aluminum High Rise Holly 4 Barrell, Headers, RV Cam, Turbo 400 Tranny, B&M Shifter. Super Swampers. This is a parts jeep or a major project. Must be trailered home, Located at the Caldwell Airport in a Hangar. $2,000”
Colin was searching the web and accidentally ran across this jeep.
He writes, “While browsing the web . . . I found this photo, which is obviously misnamed. The caption says it is a 1948 VJ2 Jeepster(NOT!), but it is what I think is a factory photo of a prototype DJ3A with the low windshield, convertible top and a 48-49 Jeepster T-Bar on the grille.”
Note both the T-Bar grille and the way the top connects the windshield. Anyone seen other pics of this?
This looks like a CJ-3A which has an updated DJ-3A body.
“Up for auction is another one of our farm vehicles we have decided to sale. This is a 1953 Willys Jeep and from the best I can tell it is a model CJ3A. We have had it for many years and used it to pull one of our irrigation pumps. It has a four cylinder motor and is four wheel drive. It has not been driven in a few years but should crank up with little more than a charged battery and some fresh gas. The odometer reading is 70718 and it has a clear title. This jeep can be used like it is or can be restored to its original condition. This is an “as is” sale with the buyer is responsible for picking up or arranging to have the vehicle transported to their location. Buyer to pay a non-refundable deposit of $200.00 through Paypal within 24 hours of auctions end. Remaining balance to be paid by cashiers check or cash in person within 3 business days of auctions end. Serious bidders only please.”
