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 seller is selling all his jeep stuff, which includes a running 1951 CJ-3A and a project 1950 CJ-3a. The project jeep was listed for $3000.
“Selling all my jeep stuff. Extra motors, gaskets, wheells & tires, altinators, bell housings, carbs, drivetrain, paddle tires, etc. More than 30 years of stuff. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
As I discussed in this post, the original jeep was possibly based on the Austin 7. Here’s a later model Austin, of which I’ve only seen one other for sale in two years. A spare Austin Champ is also available.
“1953 Austin Champ Runs and drives. Mechanically sound and ready for cosmetic restoration this is serial #10515. Does contain the Rolls-Royce engine. For those interested please look at http://www.austinchamp.com/ for more info and specs. Also available for increased $$ is parts spare that is cosmetically better but not running.”
UPDATE: **SOLD* Was Best Offer.
It’s a parts jeep. It’s not worth much.
“1949 willys. ran vehicle as a woods buggy. has a very solid frame and alot of good hard parts. got off a kid with broken leaf springs. i changed rear to cj springs and then engine locked up. driveline all seems to work. have willys jeep chains on crap tires for the back also. was running it in 2wd when it blew up. make me an offer.”
On the heals of yesterday’s GPA, I thought I’d do a brief shout out to the Schwimmwagen. You can read more and see more pics about the Schwimmwagen at Brian’s site. Here’s a pic (below) from July 12 1944 (from Brian’s site as well). Here’s some youtube videos.
This looks nicely stock. Only one pic.
“CJ-3A with rare ag. PTO for mower, etc. $4,200 818-3121”
The rear compartment is covered in diamond plating, so it’s a little hard to verifty the no rust claim.
“Jeep is in good running condition. No Rust. Accept trade plus cash. Please call Angel
760-594-4047”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here’s an early CJ-2A (vin 18024) that appears in very good shape. Lots of pics, but not much of a description.
“Vehicle Condition – Restored Excellent Cond. Distinguishing Features – Org. Rims and Wheels, New Vinyl Top w/Doors. History of Ownership – Unsure. Shipping and Payment – Pick-up Only. Cash, Pay Pal, or Bank Check.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
My sense is that this has some updates to the drive train, but i can’t tell for sure. The seller will take some unusual trades.
“For Sale 46 Willy’s Jeep, Good running Chevy 153 Iron Horse engine. New brakes, shocks, glass, rubber. Front and Rear Lockers, Roll bar, Custom Bikini Top, Hard Top, Easy out Custom Rear Back Seat with Seat Belts, Hitch and Tow Bar. Will let go for $4,000 or $3,500 less wheels and tires.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,500
Lots of great upgrades on this CJ-3A. It kind of has that classic 80s build. It looks like there are two different paint colors on the body.
“350 4 Bolt Main, Muncie 4-Speed w/Overdrive, 44’s Front & Rear, Detroit Lockers, Floating Axles in Rear, Locking Hubs Front & Rear, Tilt Wheel, Custom Gas Tank, 11″ Brakes with Power Booster, Holly Injection. Post Office Frame Box End, Nothing Original on Jeep.”
It looks good.
“1945 GPW. Faithfully restored and garaged for the past ten years. Runs like a top! Good to excellent condition – needs a left front leaf spring and muffler. Included is a new summer top (in package, value $250). Don’t forget…Memorial Day and the 4th of July are right around the corner!”
