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 .
This looks like a DJ-3A Surrey Body on a 70s CJ-5 frame to me. It was listed as a CJ-3B on Craigslist.
“We have this CJ3B sitting in our barn and it’s time for it to go. Don’t want to scrap it and would like to find someone who can put it to use somehow. Asking $700 or best offer. Not sure of any of the details of the Jeep. Needs an engine, transmission is there though not in the Jeep. Probably have some of the parts lying in/around it, so those will be a part of the price.”
The seller just needs to get rid of it. It might make a very cheap parts wagon.
“I selling 53 willys wagon that has a lot of parts taken off of. I am done messing with it so I want to just sell it with what it has left. It has a ford 8 inch rear end. no motor, trans, hood or title. I just need it gone soon. I will haul it to scrap unless someone wants to come take it off my hands.”
The seller believes this was the original body, but it looks more like a repo body to me. Also, there’s been a good deal of welding along the passenger front frame rail and along the underside of the driver’s side rail, which could indicate the original rails weren’t in good condition. Also note the modified transmission undercarriage.

(03/28/2011) There’s some value here, but not much GPW left.
“I’m selling my 43 jeep project. It’s not very original. The guy I bought it from converted it to Toyota running gear. It comes with two 4.3 vortec v6s. It doesn’t have the terra tires anymore.”
(11/16/2010) There are a few updates to this flattie.
“Im selling my 1948 Willys jeep for $4500 obo. has a rebuilt stock flat head 4 cylnder. New Wheels and Tires. No Rust. Runs Great, only reason we’re selling is because we don’t drive it anymore.”
“For sale: 1952 Willys 4×4 with utility body on back. It is complete. It needs restoring. Tires are up and holding air. It rolls good and is easy to move. Can deliver if needed with trailer. Come take a look. This is a great restoration project for hunting, off road driving, mudding, or for the collector”
This has a winch that’s worth a few hundred all by itself.
“Willys Jeep project, purchased jeep to restore but have way to many projects going on. There is no title!!! You will have to acuire a title yourself. It has been retrofitted with a Ford 351 V8 that will need work, I put on a starter to see if it would turn over but no success. This jeep has alot of potential and with a little blood, sweat and tears this could be a fun project. Come by and take a look, and thanks for looking.”
“For Sale: 1947 Willys Overland Jeep, Model # CJ2A, This jeep has had 2 owners that are from the same family. This jeep is all original. This vehicle runs so smooth, has new brake lines, three point hitch, very rare to find a all original jeep from the World War 2 era.
