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 .

(02/23/2023) “*4 CYL*, *3 SPEED MANUAL*, *4WD*. Here is a nice original Willy’s that you can go out and have some fun with and not worry about scratching it. MECHANICAL- It has the original drivetrain and a 6 volt electrical system. EXTERIOR- The body is original and not rusty but does have some dings and scratches. It has a vinyl top that goes with it. INTERIOR- The interior is very simple with front bucket seats. It also has a rear seat that is not mounted. TEST DRIVE- I have drove it a couple miles and drives nice and shifts well. Ask for the video of driving it. VALUE- We price our vehicles to market value and try to be one of the best prices of vehicles in comparable condition. Our goal is to give you a good buy on a vehicle you are going to have fun with and enjoy. LIKE IT OR RETURN IT- As being in business for 35 years we do not want to sell anybody a vehicle they do not want. As many of our vehicles are sold site unseen we will take the vehicle back and give a refund minus shipping and a restocking fee. You are responsible for the shipping both ways and a $1000 restocking fee. You have 3 days to notify us you are not happy with the vehicle and we will start the return process. Ask for more details”

“An old Jeep that hasn’t moved for years. It does appear complete. No title. Hoping for somebody to come pick it up, but willing to deliver for a fee.”

“Has a rare hard top doesn’t run mileage unknown”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500. We visited James in 2011 when this jeep was his.
Looks like a good price.
“1950 CJ3 includes an extra set of tires and many extra parts. Was used in several parades a few years ago and parked. I haven’t tried to start it recently. I will also double check mileage and update listing.”
This appears to includes a rear PTO plus gearbox and drum pulley.

“1949 Willy’s cj2a does not run have title”
The pics are pretty small, so hard to tell much. I’m guessing this was not an original CJ-2L.

“Stretched CJ body and frame. I do have a title for it”
I can’t tell if this was an M-38 at some point or if it has a replacement body.

“1952 Willy’s The jeep is in need of lots of help It was just brought to my property And it needs to leave my property I don’t need anymore yard art It Has a some kinda V8 motor No heads on the motor Bring a trailer I have title in hand no bank pay off no games.”
UPDTE: **SOLD** Was $6500. As Bill notes in the comments, there has been some odd activity with this Jeep.
Seller believes this to be a Farm Jeep based on the serial number. The hardtop is a Kelly “23” series top. Thanks to Tom for sharing it.
“Serial Number 453GC1 10049 indicates a 4-cylinder, 1953 production year. The fifth symbol C indicates a Farm Jeep. About 10,617 CJ3As were produced in 1953, but only 85 serialized Farm Jeeps were produced in 1953, this Willys is number 49. Less than 10 of these are listed in the Kaiser Willys or CJ3B.info databases to still be intact or running. While it has been resprayed, the original color was Pacific Blue, and the original paint can be seen under the hood and inside the fenders.
Farm Jeeps had reinforced frames for the additional implements as well as upgraded springs. The frame and suspension are in good shape. The engine and drive train are fully functional, and it starts and drives reliably. Steering is reasonable for the condition, however much of its 27,000 actual miles has been off pavement, while it can be driven on the road, it would need adjustments to feel comfortable above 45 MPH.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Several folks forwarded this one. Interesting that this has a top with side windows. It just further demonstrates that the CJ-5 and DJ-3A versions of this top were interchangeable.
“1959 Willys DJ-3a jeep and a 1950 jeep for sale. The dj3a will run but the fuel tank is out of it right now but you can hear it run. 1950 cj3a is a complete jeep minis the motor and windshield. Also have lots of extra parts to go with them. No title sold with bos. Located in Griffin ga”
This has a variety of updates, including dual tanks. No description provided.

Bill shared this nice looking CJ-3A that took a hit on the driver’s side, front end. OUCH! The jeep is up for auction via copart. I bet the front of the frame is bent.
