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 .
Solid looking 3A.

“1951 cj3 Willy’s 4 cylinder Manual transmission Soft top $10,000 O.B.O”
This is powered by a Toyota diesel. It isn’t clear to me if this is a customer build or imported rig?

“Modified Willy jeep, diesel Toyota engine, 5 speed manual, only 3000 miles, amplifier speakers Have title”
Not sure if that is a serious price. At first I thought this had a “TMC” bed extension on the back. But, it’s so long, it may just be a custom addition. No description provided.

Andy shared these parts jeeps. It looks like one has the remnants of a Kelly hardtop. There’s a PTO winch also, which sits on the 3A.

“2 CJs to part out. Not much left. One has a ramsey winch. One has a 134f, the other a 6 cyl slapped in. No titles.”
UPDATE II: Price dropped to $16,500.
UPDATE: This was for sale in Fresno. It is now for sale in Sisters, Oregon. I suspect the seller is a new owner and is now reselling it, given the limited description. Note that the plates in the pics from the 2023 ad and present ad are the same.

“Killer old 51 Willys custom. 327 w/turbo 400 auto trans. Runs great.”
==========================
(Previous comments, description and pics from 10/2023): This is a classic Fresno-area build with the oversize glass in the windshield, the doors, and more. It may include a soft top. I see no evidence it includes a Muller top.
Very clean Jeep CJ3a, 2nd owner, owned by the seller over 50 yrs.
SBC 350, Turbo 400, Spicer 18 transfer case, Warn overdrive 25%,
Dana 30 front, fresh Dana 44 rear
(new bearings, gears and LSD), Warn winch, big brakes, clean paint, good tires, and new dual fuel tanks. Upholstery and carpet is 4 yrs old with very little use.
Can be seen by appointment in Fresno CA.
You don’t see many like this one for sale. Odometer just rolled over last week, perfect starting point for the new owner”
Not much a of a true classic, as it is assembled from various parts and customized. But, still may be worth a look if you don’t mind a custom rig.

Built, but never tested, as a Class 10 race jeep.

Here’s a stretched one with a Toyota chassis.
“1952 willy’s jeep. Runs drives and stops good, 318 Mopar motor with 3 speed automatic transmission and a 205 transfer case, stretched 8 inches sitting on an 80s toyota chassis. Comes with extra seats that are in better shape. Definitely built for an offroad toy.”
May be worth a look.

“This classic Jeep was one of the first civilian jeeps made just after WWII. Originally aimed to put workhorses to pasture. Only made from 1949-1953. This is definitely a head turner. New tires in the last year, carburetor, hood latches, fuel tank, gas line, accelerator spring and brake work. Interior is in great condition. Tow bar included. My son put blood sweat and tears into this, but needs a daily driver. This Jeep qualifies for Hagerty classic car insurance which saves you a ton of money.”
This might be an APU jeep, based on the hood. Need more pics to verify.

“1945 Willys $5,000 OBO Don’t know if the engine runs transmission has lots of rust.”
Looks solid and has a variety of updates.

“Priced to sell. 1951 Willys CJ3a. Older frame of restoration. Runs, drives, stops as it should. Fast for a little thing.

In no particular order:
This looks to be an APU jeep, but may be a rare Valentine-manufactured model.

“1951 Willy’s CJ-3A and it’s a unique one. I’ve got the details but I’ll spare you for now. I do have a title in hand for her. She’s got a state issued VIN but I am the undisputed heavyweight owner of this lovely lady.
Instead of the anemic Go Devil engine, this has the powerful F4-134 engine in it coming in at an eye popping 75 horsepower. When it is ran often, it starts easily and runs clean. I haven’t driven it much this year so it smokes a bit on startup but once up to temp is runs solid and drives as well as a Jeep can. Last year I drove it more so it started and ran like a dream. Looking to part ways with this gal because I don’t have the time, money, or space to work on her and I loathe that she is going to rust away while I get 2 of those 3 things. I’ll regret it as soon as you drive off but c’est la vie. Call/Text: Seven-one-two seven-niner-zero seven-seven-ocho-three”
Has a gas line leak.

“Great Jeep to cruise around in or for a restoration project. Jeep ran good when parked several years ago. It does have a title Turns over good but currently a leak in the gas line. The gas line has been fixed and it started right up. Located near Wayne NE”
This lacks a title. It’s got a Sear-style half cab.

“Back half of body home made , front part of frame modified ,rest of frame original except back bumper , engine needs rebuilt , drivetrain complete , half cab can be bought separately for $600. messenger hates me and doesn’t work sometimes, so check Craig’s dsm under Willys .sorry no title”
Daniel’s neighbor in Germany has decided to sell his stainless flat fender jeep. Shipping is available. For more information, you can contact Daniel at kontakt @ langkau-automotive.de (remove spaces from around the @) and he can field initial questions.

(09/14/2024) Here’s an unusual 4-seat crawler.

This is listed as a 1956, but the dash is not a DJ-3A, though the body does lack a normal driver’s side fuel inlet. Not sure how much value is here.

“56 Jeep Willys project Jeep, extra parts for project. $5,000 or best offer. Not looking to trade. Serious inquiries only.”
Looks like a solid build. Might be a CJ-3B or CJ-5 chassis?

This looks to be a custom build with a replacement body (2A ignition holes + military dash jockey box). This also has a Bobcat hood.
