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 .

(08/27/2014) This jeep sports a Buick 215 V8.
“I am selling my 1950 Willys Jeep CJ2a. This is a great jeep that drives really well. This jeep has been modified to be easy to drive and usefully Yet maintains a close to stock look. This jeep has an exelent body with almost no rust. I have never seen a body this clean that was not on a fully restored jeep. The frame is clean and rust free. The front end is very cleanly lengthened about 4 inches to make room for the motor. The engine in it is an aluminium block buick 215 V8 that runs strong. Just did a tune up on it with new plugs rotor cap and coil. The transition and transfer case both shift well. The transfer-case does seep a small spot of oil after being driven pretty far. The steering is tight and has tilt with power steering that works terrific(stable and smooth at 50mph. New 31×10.5r15 Mud tires. Comes with a best top bikini top.
This is a really fun jeep to drive and perfect for exploring the high country. It does need a speedometer and for the fuel gauge and temp gauge to be hooked up its on my list of things to do list and easy enough to do I just have not had time to work on it. Ask if you have questions. 5000 or best offer.”
UPDATE: Was $2000. **Status Unknown**
(09/22/2013) A little rough, but runs and drives.
“I have a great CJ-3A for sale. I am the third owner and know a bit of history about it. It has been stored inside for most of its life, but we have moved and don’t have anywhere to keep it now. It runs well and could pass inspection and be on the road with little to no work. I have re-done the brakes and wiring, as well as replaced the carburetor, fuel pump and more. However, it does have some damage to the body. The front fenders are a bit in rough shape, as well as patches of the tub. The starter button sticks a bit, but it does start right up and runs strong. Let me know if you want to take a look.
No top anymore, but I do have 2 sets of 5 tires and wheels and still have the doors.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
Runs and drives, but has some step in the passenger step.

(08/15/2014) This might be a good price. The body is a replacement, fiberglass, or possibly a DJ body (given the short windshield).

(06/26/2014) Dave’s selling a CJ-3A project.
1952 Willys Jeep CJ-3A project for sale. Hurricane motor (complete, but the head is currently off, needs head gasket and put back together). Has some rust. $1600“
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8995
This militarized CJ-3A looks solid.
“I am offering up for sale my 1949 Willys CJ-3A Jeep. I have owned this Jeep since 1995 after searching for years for a solid flat-fender. It was originally a Fire Jeep from New Jersey where it was used for fighting brush fires. It had always been garaged and was rust free. It has 48,000 original miles. When I acquired it, the owner had painted over the original red paint with an amateur camo pattern, so I decided to do it up as an M38 in WW2 OD. It has always run like a swiss watch. Sheet metal is all original and it is still 6-volt. I installed lock-out hubs, but have the originals. It is a very early CJ-3A, as it has the Dana 41 rear axle, and the windshield is dated Dec. 48. If you are looking for a nice original solid flat-fender, this is it! This is no cobbled-up rust-bucket resurrection like most you see for sale. I have a spare transmission/transfer case and front & rear differentials from a 1952 M38A1, all excellent, which I will include. I dearly hate to part with this Jeep, but we are moving and I will not have storage for it. This is an outstanding early Jeep and a rare opportunity. The CJ-3A is the rarest early model Jeep with only about 100,000 ever made. I will not entertain any low-ball offers, so please don’t waste your time or mine.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500. This is likely a 2A body and chassis. The rear full floating axles could be military or an update to the 2A axles.
“Old Jeep, No Drivetrain. Has both front and rear axles, but no engine or transmission. Former owner started converting to small block Chevy, got as far as losing powertrain and torching motormounts out of frame. (yes, an idiot)
Your turn to make something like a sand buggy or rock crawler out of this. NO TITLE, Bill of sale with the serial number on it from me to you.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Runs, but needs work.
“350 GM motor, 350 Auto Trans, needs brake work. Has new stock leaf suspension, Its a project, but runs. $3000 OBO..”
