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 .
Frank suggested the following, “a suggestion, which I have done myself, is anyone who may be building a Jeep with a new metal body try sealing all the seams where the floor or rear fenders contact the body with urethane sealer (in the caulking tube). It’s about $10 or $15 a tube as I recall. Just make sure that all the surfaces you apply it to are clean and dry.
Since the main reason Jeeps rust (I believe) are all the seams and crevices that hold water, sealing out the water should help. Urethane is also sandable and paintable. It is used for installing windshields on late model cars and trucks which makes the glass an integral and structual part of the body in an accident.”
Well, I wont’ be sending my kids to college with all my earnings from the sale of the 3 Champs, but I made a little money on the deal and did a good deed for the Champ community.
I have to say that getting a chance to poke around them, seeing how they were built, etc, was an interesting experience. And, with more time and money, I think they would have been a fun rebuild; however, I am quite pleased to be rid of them!
“Classic Willys rebuilt 4 cly drives well has overdrive. brakes have been upgraded as well as the sterring. I bought this for my Son but since then he bought a classic truck. What I know starts up every time runs well brakes work well. Very good body the windshield frame and the original seats both available on ebay need tlc. have pink slip and all DMV paper work. Drive it home. Located in Concord. ”
It appears complete, but probably has rust issues.
“this is a willy’s overland jeep (1950)-needs restored-engine turns over-bought new ignition parts last year but never finished getting it running-has some rust holes(not to bad)-i have original manuals(service and owners)-have fla title (owner signed) but not transferred-was last running in 2001.”
This might not be a bad price depending on the severity of the rust.

1951 Jeep Willys, originally from the Louisiana National Guard, partially restored. It does have the original engine and drivetrain. The engine is not locked up and was running before the owner stored it. Use it for parts or continue the restoration. High bidder gets it!”

For our India readers, we have this Jeep for sale. I don’t have any pics just yet.
“1955 willys for sale; price 3lakhs; interested contact 09440369911; original petrol hurricane engine in good running condition with up to date papers.”
(06/17/2010) It sure looks like there is light rust in some of the corners, but that might be an optical illusion.
“I may regret selling this because I know I will not find another CJ3a in such original, virtually rust free, unmolested condition. This is a numbers matching 1950 Willys Jeep CJ3A with Power Take OFF (PTO) and Koenig hardtop. Almost everthing on the Jeep appears to be original. Even the seats, seat covers, and seat springs all look like the original ones to me. The body is very straight, and virtually rust free, having only surface rust. Floors are solid as well. The frame is perfect, no cut places, or damage anywhere. The hard top is in excellent condition. I started the Jeep a year ago and it ran very well with no smoking. I drove it around and shifted through the gears no problem. I changed the oil and filter, trans oil, T-case oil, and differential oils. It does need all new brakes, master cylinder, and wheel cylinders to be safe to drive. The rear two wheels are original wheels, but the front two are not, so it will need two original wheels, or wheels of your choice if you restore. This Jeep was owned by a farmer in Pacolet SC for 40+ years, and I was told it was stored up in a barn for that time. This would be a very easy restoration. Search the country over and you will not find a survivor like this one, in this condition.”
