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 looks to be in reasonable condition.

This is a beautiful CJ-3A.
“This vehicle was purchased new by a California doctor who kept it on his ranch most of it’s life. I bought it in 2003. I believe the +/-56,000 is probably accurate.The only thing that is off of original is the seat belts and roll bar which I added. It has been repainted but is original color. The seats have been rebuilt and the top was replaced. Recently(early this year) I installed all new brake drums, shoes and cylinders, also new (less than 50 miles) Michelin tires.”
I thought I’d reassemble my mockup roll cage to see how everything is coming together. After making a few small changes, I’ve decided the front hoop will need to go up about an 1″ or so and the back hoop will need to drop about 2″, which should provide a more balanced look to the cage and allow a top to fit more easily.
Last week, Siva asked about my strategy for attaching the roll cage to the front area of the jeep. So, I put my mockup cage back into the jeep to demonstrate this. The two pics below show the PVC tube landing squarely on the 1/4″ thick plate of steel. There will be four bolts that go through the plate connected to the cage to a plate underneath the body connected to the frame (see drawing at the bottom). This sandwiches the body between the roll cage plate and the frame plate, keeping everything together. There will also be one or two triangle plates from the tube to the plate (as demonstrated by the piece show in the pic). This will help provide some additional lateral strength.
**SOLD** Was $750.
“running out of room at my shop and it needs to go. has all original drivetrain. has the overhead 4cyl. needs a hood, seats, and windshield frame. has good p78 buckshots on it.”
This is a nice price on rims.
“Set of 4 chrome wheels that came from Jeep CJ. They are used but still very usable. As is $50.00 (253)380-6760 ask for Ken”
It looks like there’s been a few mods on this CJ-3A, so some type of posi or locker seems possible.

UPDATE: Since I was heading to Seattle, I decided to stop by and check out this old racer (Also, it was a great excuse to head east out of La Grande, Oregon; Great drive!).
This is a total old school racing jeep. The builder took a stock jeep, threw on some desert dogs, upgraded the engine with a buick v6 (leaving the stock exhaust manifolds), threw in a roll cage, vented the carb into the cowl, and that’s about it. The builder’s son felt that there was a dana 44 in the rear that had posi, and maybe the front too, but he didn’t know for sure. Unfortunately, the weeds kept me from being able to get a jack under the jeep to test whether it had posi or not.
“46 willys,231 buick v6,full cage roll bar,ex race jeep,needing alot or a wealth of parts $400”
I spent some time this evening cleaning up some older posts that didn’t have working links. While doing this, I’ve discovered that I didn’t have any posts regarding my ‘rough draft’ of the roll cage. I put this together early this year using some PVC. Here are some images from different angles.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
It runs, it plows, and it appears pretty darn stock. Can’t tell much about the condition from the one distant image.
“1948 Willys Jeep with 6 1/2 ft meyers snow plow. Have title and also comes with soft top and tow bar. Original 4 cyl engine with new tires and custom dual exhaust.”
It’s not worth $2500, as it doesn’t run. Might be worth a closer look if the price drops substantially.
“1949, dont know much about it bought at estate sale have orginal title dosent run, bodys in good shape. email or call 254-223-2737”
