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.
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: The consensus is that this is likely a 3A.
This has a governor cable.

The front of the wheel house ,where the drivers seat buts up to would indicate 3a I believe. Different length of slope.
Its definitely, no doubt, no question that it’s a Cj3a. Ignition switch local. I’m betting factory windshield frame and factory Harrison heater. And as noted shorter wheel house.
Dash plaque obviously has paint hiding out lines. It’s a Cj3a with that and all noted above.
Sounds good to me. I’ve updated the post.
I figured that was a factory heater, but the switch was normally placed under the dash. It seemed like the switch is sitting where a 2A starter hole would normally be, which was another things that was making me take a second look.
