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: **SOLD** Was $12,000
(05/10/2010) I doubt the seller will get the price they want, but it looks like a nice build.
“1950 Willys CJ-3A rebuilt stock engine, original running gear, stock brakes, all new wiring, new gauges, nice tires & wheels, body and paint are show quality. will consider part trade on newer 4 wheeler.”
A very beautiful Jeep indeed. If I can, I’m going to take a look at it tomorrow to see if I fit. I heard that CJs are a bit on the small side, and being about 6′ 2″ I want to be sure that I’ll fit in one of these if I ever get one. I’ve already talked with the owner and it’s alright with him, so all that’s left is to find out when I’ll have the time to make it over there!
I’m 6′ and I fit just right, but I installed my own seat and steering column (my steering column tilts, which gives me enough room to get in and out comfortably). Another way I sit comfortably is that I sit down in the seat, because of the way the seats are designed, and the seat lifts my thighs upwards; that support really helps my comfort. The seats in the jeep above are flatter, so you’ll get a little less lift and support.
Let me know what you think of the Jeep!

I think you’ll be suprised how much room there is in a flatty with stock type seating…. They can get tight when you start adding aftermarket seats, but with the stock stuff there is quite a bit of room really..
Well, unfortunately I didn’t get to try it out because I couldn’t get in touch with the seller at the time he told me to call. The next day, I got his wife on the phone and told me that he had just sold the Jeep. I guess that must have been why I couldn’t get a hold of him. Thanks for the info though guys! That really makes me feel better. π (I was worried about it being impractical to get one if I was too big for it!)
Someone bought that for $12,000? or even $10,000?
