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 .
At the Bantam Festival Gerald took a picture of a CJ-3A(?) with an unusual Bezel. Steve contacted me today with a similar Bezel on his CJ-3B. So far, no one has produced any history regarding these. Anyone know anything about them?

This has some solid lettering Dogs. It sure looks like a racer from the 80s maybe.
“This is a project rig. It does not run. I don’t know what kind of shape the drive train is in. I found it in a field. I was told it used to be raced and the axles are welded up. I due have a title for it. I can’t remember the year at the moment but 46′ sticks in my head. I was going to build a wheeler out of it but I have no time or money. I’d like to see $800 but feel free to make an offer. I can send more pics. It’s currently in storage in Othello but I live in tri-cities.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
The old solid rims appear in good condition.

UPDATE: **SOLD** No price listed.
This has 3 data tags and I think is a column shift. It also looks like there are or may have been tool indents on the driver’s side.
“For Sale: 1941? Willy Jeep”

This appears solid. The gauges and bumper have been updated.

(09/30/2009) Here’s a nice looking CJ-3A. It’s got an unusual cage.
“This is a 1949 Willys CJ3A with a rebuilt F-Head motor (not a flat head) out of a 1956 CJ3B. T90 3 speed and a Dana 18 Transfer Case. Dana 27 Front End and a Dana 44 Rear (welded for a locker) 5.38 gears. Custom 6 point Roll Cage out of 1.5″ DOM tubing. New Best Top Soft Top and Doors plus a Bikini Top …. Turn key and ready for a weekend in the woods!! The only thing that could be done is a new carborator because the 60 year old one leaks a little. Wanted to put the $100 upgrade solex carborator in it but just don’t have the time. Also, there is some rust in the bottom of the tub but again, not bad for the year.”
It runs and drives, but needs some help.
“for sale as is …runs and drives but the breaks are weak will need trailer because tires are old and aren’t holding air. i can be reached at 4174996801 thanks for your time…”

UPDATE:**SOLD** Was on eBay
There’s some value here, though plenty of work left too.
“This Willys CJ3A has not been ran for about 7yrs but was supposedly running when last parked. (it is froze up now-dosnt have a breather so maybe moisture has gotten in). It has very little paint but also very few rust HOLES.(mainly below right door and on the floor by right door). I bought this jeep from my cousin and due to all its PATINA I was planning to make a RAT ROD out of it but recently came up with a couple of medical issues. He cannot find the title but we can get a LOST TITLE very easily if desired. The frame is not rusted out any where that I could find. Springs and suspension seem OK. The cab (mfg by Koeng Iron Works of Houston) has lots of surface rust but is actually in pretty good shape. The doors have crank down windows (not sure of there condition as I didnt try to operate them). The winch has been removed. All gages look to be good shape and was supposed to be operating with the excepion of the gas gage. the emergency brake seems to work. The tranny and transfer case lock up in all gears and the differentials roll freely with the wheels jacked up. The right window has a crack at the bottom. Window rubber looks reusable. The seat frames and springs are there but the padding is gone. The box is dented but not rusted thru. The radiator, fan and shroud look to be in good condition. (I have another that I KNOW is in good shape). The engine has a magneto on it which the previous owner (my cousin) was put on to make better starting in the winter (it was used for snow plowing at their ranch and never ran in the summer), The original distributor is included. Also I have a power-take-off which is in great condition that I will include. Can provide more photos if desired and can possibly deliver for fuel costs.”
