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 .
This still needs a final paint coat.

“Completely new mechanically – new carb, battery, tires, fuel pump, shocks – Runs great, new gas tank – ready for final painting – has a few minor rust spots – needs a top and you are ready to go – come over and check it out – The odometer does not work so miles unknown but engine in excellent original conditio”
This supposedly ran before the battery and radiator was removed. I suspect the rear panel was replaced with a non-tailgate panel at some point.

“his is a 1951 Jeep CJ3A. This was my father’s jeep that he partially restored. The jeep yard drives.
Engine runs well but smokes when warm. Possibly the oil control rings are stuck. My dad took the engine out and had it rebuilt but never fully reinstalled. The Jeep sat in the barn for about 10 years without running. Pictures of the engine bay were taken before I put back together with all new ignition components.
Electrics have been converted to a 12 volt system. (started is still 6v)
Fuel tank is currently of of the vehicle, I didn’t want to put gas in the tank and have it sit. Tank looks clean. Continue reading
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3000.
(08/19/2023) Tom shared this CJ-2A with some type of sedan or truck top. If the grille is original, this is likely a 1947 or later model.

“Willys Jeep. New brakes, master cylinder and entire brakes. Wheels blasted and painted and new tires and tubes. New seats with original frames. This Jeep has a PTO but needs the shaft. Runs and drives good but motor could use a rebuild. New gas tank and lines the body is rough but could be used depending on what you plan to do with the Jeep. Battery does NOT come wit it. Great to restore or just continue to use as is. The cab was added from an old truck many years ago and it works pretty good. This is your chance to own a classic Willys.”
Not sure how much value is here.

“$700 obo/trade I believe this is a 1953 cj3b, I purchased this as is for a rat rod project that I haven’t gotten to. Has Dana 44/12 bolt K5 blazer axles, and a 4 cylinder scout drivetrain? Have a low mileage sbc 5.0/700r4 I was going to use for the rat rod that can come with it”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(09/19/2023) This is number 10938. This has a variety of mods, though it lacks an engine. It’s got a Kelly 23 Series hardtop.

“945 Willys CJ-2a. Heavily modified, setup for an old corvette engine with auto tranny. Complete Koenig king winch and Kelly hard top. None of the 45 stuff is left other than the body frame axles and possibly T-case. Not a single data tag either, but the serial is stamped into the frame by hand, #10938. Body is in pretty good shape rust wise but has plenty of dings and bondo from the era when they wanted em SMOOTH on the outside.”
Project or parts.

“1947 Willy’s Jeep in parts needing your TLC. A hobbiest’s project. Comes with chassis, roll bar, front seat, back seat, grill, and much, much more. Bring your best offer. Title available”
This May 1959 issue of Jeep News announced that Willys agreed to continue co-sponsoring the Maverick show obviously dominated the headlines, but it is interesting to see that photos from the 1959 Truth or Consequences race also landed on the front page.
Page two contains dealer news. Page three includes a photo of two DJ-3As with unusual nylon tops, presumably custom made, that are owned by the Sheraton Terrace Motel in San Antonio.
Page five includes a full-page report with photos from the Truth Or Consequences, NM, ‘Jeep’ Vehicle Derby. Page six includes a rare photo of a civil defense wagon. Page seven has an almost full-page report on the eleventh annual Hemet to Borrego cavalcade.
Finally, page eight tells the story of a scout troop that raised money to replace their tired CJ-2A, though they replaced it with a non-jeep station wagon, the scouts noted it wasn’t as capable as the jeep. So, why didn’t a dealer step in to help these scouts get a jeep? ??
David shared a link to these recently listed hubs. They are the nicest example of these hub that I have ever seen. They are currently listed at $999.

Listed as a CJ-3A, this looks to be an M-38 (with updates).
