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 on eBay.
It runs and drives, but doesn’t stop so well.

This has a spare tire holder on the driver’s side.
“One 1954 Jeep Willys in good shape. Frame is solid, body has some rust but not much. Its a fresh barn find. Hasn’t been used in 30 years. Motor runs. Needs some minor work to be driven on the road. would be great for a restoration job. Only selling because I don’t have time to do it justice. $4500.00 OBRO.”

UPDATE: Still Available
(07/30/2011) The seller knows the whole history of this jeep.
“1946 Willy’s bought new at Al Archard Motors 224 E. Grand ave, Escondido. Has the very desirable half cab top that was originally canvas but was covered in galvanized tin back in the early 1950’s by tom Bandy’s Blacksmith shop. She starts right up and purrs ! Engine runs strong and all gearing and four wheel drive components function. It will need the brakes, steering, suspension and cooling system addressed before putting her back on the road. This jeep was built for both agricultural use and recreation. The prior owner told me stories of he and his father driving it up 395 into the Sierras in the 1950’s then returning home to use it as the tractor on the ranch. It was still attached to a plowing disc when I purchased it. This little Willy’s is perfect for parades, Tractor shows or just looking good in the yard. I have title and it is registered ‘non-op’.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
(06/18/2011) Interesting paint job. I’m wondering if some rustoleum has been sprayed over the rust spots?
“1951 Willys Jeep for sale. Licensed and registered in Idaho. Mechnically runs great any everything works. All original but needs some body work and a paint job. Drives verry good!”
I don’t see any obvious issues.
“1951 CJ 3-A rebuilt, runs great, new paint, tires. Ready to drive or hunt”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
(07/21/2011) This looks like a good price. I suspect the engine has been swapped out.
“Runs Great! Low Original Miles! Grandparent’s were Original Owners Miles are so low because they drove it in Evergreen Rodeo Parade! Can four wheel drive better that New Jeeps! Come see it at 80th & Sheridan area! Sorry pictures of it aren’t very flattering because it has been shop stored & was dusty!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1400.
(07/19/2011) The body looks pretty good.
“1958 Willy’s with matching numbers. Ready for a restoration. Motor is in the shop waiting to be picked up.”
UPDATE: Was $3500. **SOLD**
This doesn’t run. It might be a VEC. I think it might be a column shift.
“I have a 1944 willys jeep for sale 3500.00 or best offer. It has a new battery, original top, wheels, engine, and the original owners manual. Just bought a battery for it. The engine turns, but i did not try to turn it over because it needs work, just wanted to make sure it wasnt frozen. There is some rust on it, and it does need work. Would very much like to sell it to someone who has the time to restore this.”
UPDATE: Eagle Eyed Bob recognized this as a CJV-35/U rather than a CJ-3A. **SOLD**
This is supposed to have no rust.
“I had this listed as a 1951 cj 3a. A guy from New York called me and informed me of what I really have. It’s a 1950 Willys CJV-35, and it is for sale. Since it is so rare, I have increased the price to $5500. There were only 1000 of these made in 1950. Check it out on the internet. I am not kidding All original. Flat head 4 cyl, 3 speed tranny, 2 speed transfer case. At one time this vehicle was green. Then some one painted it an ugly salmon color. I have removed a bit of the paint (a mistake), and in places it comes off easily. In other places it is on there pretty good. It runs great and has no rust, no kidding. The tool box under the pasenger seat is solid, as are the floor boards and the floor under the rubber mat in the back. It comes with a roll bar and high back bucket seats and a tow bar. I took these three items off the vehicle, for they are not stock equipment. It has a heater that works. Unfortunately, someone put an AM radio in the dash ( a really dumb move in my opinion), but they did an ok job of it and it works. ‘.”
Also, it is still 6 volt, and it has the plates on the dash from the Willys Overland Corporation. They’re pretty cool. Come check it out.
This was at the FC Get Together. It is a beautiful Jeep.
