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 .
Appears worth a look.

Lacks an engine. That may be a 3A or later frame.

“1949 willys jeep with trencher, trencher was working when this got parked. The body is in pretty good shape just been sitting under trees for couple years. Beside the trencher and body it need some work. Tires air up though and she will roll. Has 4 speed transmission. Everything is there for the trencher. Good project for someone looking to redo an ole willys jeep.”
Trailer is included. Looks like it could be a good price. Second pic is how it looks before disassembly.

“Great Father-Son/Daughter Project. Jeep has been totally disassembled.

Has everything except motor and leaf springs. All pieces and parts are loaded onto a small trailer which is included. $1000/OBO”
The missing drain holes on this 3A body suggests this has had some body work.

(11/18/2018) This appears to have an M-38 body. The rebuilder did a nice job of creating an installation panel for the the large speedometer.
“1951 CJ3 Jeep Restored ~This is a factory 225 Dauntless V6 engine with lots of power this is a three speed transmission, we never tried the 4 wheel drive, the jeep starts right up and drives like would expect a vintage jeep, it does have power steering added but not power brakes. There’s a lot of new parts including brakes, all lights, alternator radiator shocks belts gas tank etc, all the canvas is brand new and easily removable in a few minutes, includes 2 new canvas doors, newer seats with seat belts battery garage kept and was only in the rain by mistake for 5 minutes since restored,
we purchased this as a prop for our business and now we are moving on, this jeep is a real eye catcher at any event, certainly not a smooth ride like a new jeep but a lot of fun to drive.The gauges are not entirely hooked up, all the lights work including the 4 ways, the horn works as well. There is no rust, it has tow loops on front bumper and easy to remove tail gate… if wanted there is also mounts and latch to ad rear seat.”
UPDATE: I thought this might be a John Deere themed jeep, but eWillys’ chief detective in Mesa identified it as a Pratt Greenbacks’ themed jeep.
