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: Status Unknown. Was $5500.

“Hello I have a 1947 jeep Willys for sale its a complete rebuild it has the original motor and transmission in it its a cool turquoise color and new seats with new fabric… you wont find a Willys this clean and original in new Mexico! !!”
It goes, but doesn’t stop. The seller gives a good description.
“Runs and has a Title! Would be a decent restoration candidate. I’ll describe the Jeep as best I can, if you have any questions, feel free to call anytime. (912) 980-7811.
I’ve owned this 1950 CJ3A for about 6 months, so I don’t know the complete history of the Jeep. But I’ve got it running decent now.
Engine: The original L-Head 134 four cylinder still resides in the Jeep and it runs pretty darn good. I’ve installed a new carburetor, new battery, new ignition components and it starts right up. The original 6V system is also still in place. The speedometer and fuel gauge do not work, I have no idea how many miles are actually on the Jeep. The odometer is stuck on 61K, which I think is probably not far off. It hasn’t been driven regularly in many years. The Ammeter, Oil pressure gauge and Temp gauge work. Oil pressure runs from 40-60 depending on RPM, Temp hovers around 180, and the Ammeter barely moves at all. Compression is a bit on the low side. The cylinders run 80, 80, 70, 70. I’ve installed a new Solex carburetor and it idles and revs nicely but it does run a tad rich, it probably needs re-jetting. Solex Carbs require 1-2 psi of fuel pressure while the stock mechanical pump puts out 3-4, so I’ve installed and adjustable fuel pressure regulator. I’ll also throw in the original Carter WO carburetor. It also retains the original starter button (stomp starter) in the floor board.
Transmission/Transfer Case: Still the original T90/Dana 18 combo. The transmission and TC will need to be gone through. They’re inherently noisy in perfect condition but this jeep’s drive train does produce a bothersome growl. But, 2wd and 4wd do work correctly. The clutch is good, I have replaced the clutch push rod. I also have spare TC and transmission parts to go with it.
The Body: The tub is in need of sheet metal work. It has the typical rust in the hat channels and the floor of the tub under the gas tank is rusted through. Otherwise its really not that bad compared to most vehicles of this age. The fenders are original and straight, the windshield frame has some surface rust. To be properly done, the windshield would need to be removed and the frame blasted or dipped for paint. I’ve wire wheeled the fenders and exterior of the Jeep and applied primer but I have not repaired any dents or rust holes. Overall, its fairly solid. The lights are not wired up. It does have decent taillights also. The best thing I can say about the seats is that they are present. The tires are a bit old and cracking but the tread is like new and they’ll be fine for the limited speed of the Jeep. I believe the original color of the Jeep is Luzon Red.
Brakes: The braking system is non-functional. But I’ve driven it on the dirt roads locally, I’ve probably put 50-60 miles on it the last few days. Its noisy, bouncy, and rugged but really fun to drive.
Steering: Lots of play!
Anyway, this would be a fun jeep to put around with on a ranch or it would be an easy restoration project for someone. I’m only selling because I’ve got other projects I need to focus on and I need to thin out my Jeep herd a little.
Price is $1800 OBO

UPDATE: Was listed at $4900
(04/14/2012) This has a rear PTO with a drum pulley. It looks like a nice jeep.
“This CJ-2A spent most of its life on a farm in Nebraska, and was typically kept in the barn, which would explain the relative lack of rust. The paint looks to be the original black. In 2003, it was purchased from the original farmer’s grandson by a classic vehicle collector and mechanic who brought it to his shop and home in Colorado. The collector, who has worked on many older jeeps, purchased this one because it is so close to original condition in every respect. He kept it as a personal vehicle on his farm in Boulder for five years. In 2008 he sold it to a historic architect out there, and I bought it last summer.
This is equipped with a rare working PTO (power take off), that was used on farms to run equipment such as saw mills, threshing machines, and other farm machinery.
Because of slow and hesitant starting, the 6 volt system was changed to a 12 volt system in 2009. Included in the conversion were a new generator, new battery, new wiring, headlights and some distributor components. The starter motor and other components were not changed. At the time of the 12 volt conversion, a new carburetor, fuel pump, trailer hitch ball, 4 pin trailer wiring and used seat were also added, as well as the new top. The Jeep still has the original paint scheme of Princeton Black, also called “Americar Black,” with Harvard Red wheels. The wheels were repainted before 2008 and the new tires were added at that time. The Jeep’s original gauges, horn, single windshield wiper and heater all work. In 2011, an old weld repair on the side of the block was discovered, almost out of sight, below the distributor. There had apparently been a crack at some point in one of the outside (cooling water) chambers of the block. Even though the old weld repair was holding fine, and the compression tested well, the old repair was completely redone by an engine expert company in Virginia. (Terry Walters Performance Engines). During that process, the engine was removed from the Jeep, the block completely disassembled, the crack area re-repaired, and the engine reassembled. Various parts in the clutch and flywheel, along with motor mounts and distributor points, were replaced at that time.
Since I bought it, the wheels have been pulled off and brakes and bearings rebuilt; choke and throttle cables were replaced, and a new fuel sensor put in;
new seatbelts, mirror, blocks and strap on hood were added. A couple of weeks ago I shorted out the horn wire, so that is currently not working.”
They need work.
