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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
This looks nice and close to stock.
“
1950 Willy’s CJ. 4cylinder, 3spd with 2spd transfer case. Runs and drives great! $3500.”
It doesn’t run. I suspect it’s the type of project where a lot needs to be replaced.
“1948 Willys Jeep with 289 ford motor. It currently doesn’t run, family owned since 1950, would make a great rebuild project. Make reasonable offer. 1-231-663-6029.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(08/10/09) Here’s a very early CJ-3A with a serial number of # 12041
“1949 Willys Jeep-CJ 3A, 62,000 miles, PTO winch – tow bar – roll bar – warn locking hubs – half cab with doors, 4 cy Jeep engine – 6 volt system – This Jeep was purchased by my father in 1960 as a hunting vehicle.

Sometime next week I hope to be bending my roll cage with my home-made tubing bender. I’m waiting for the die to get here still. I’m also waiting for the delivery of my windshield and cowl rubber so that I can get my windshield all ready to go. In the meantime, I’ve been busy updating the website and doing a few things to the jeep.
One of those things was the installation of my brodie knob. I discovered I could cut down a piece of rubber that I think was used by my dad when he installed his CJ-5 body on it’s frame. It was the perfect thickness, so I cut it down, shaped it and installed it. It’s nice and tight. Here’s a few pics.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000
Looks great!

(12/27/2008) Here’s what appears to be a completely restored CJ-3A + trailer. Not many specifics on what was rebuilt.

(09/09/09) This includes an overdrive and a winch. Given those extras, this sounds like a pretty good price.
