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 $5000.
(07/02/2014) I didn’t realize this was a CJV until I saw the serial number. The paint job is a spackle or speckled type of some kind. CJV35 – 10218

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
It’s lacking some rear lights. It looks like the windshield has been enlarged.
“I have a 1950 jeep willys cj3a similar to the cj5 but it’s more awesome and it has the flatfenders first off I’ve put a lot of money into this thing and it is a extremely capable off-road rig and it’s reliable enough to daily drive I started with a brand new wiring harness from ez wiring and all connections were heat shrinked wiring is complete enough to drive and be street legal other than a license plate light I left the gauge wiring incomplete until I bought new gauges but now I’m not gonna have the time for it. I also had 4 brand new b f Goodrich km2 33×10.5×15 mud terrain tires. Tires have 0 miles on them mounted on 4 new black rock crawler wheels. Also had a gmail s10 steering column with tilt. has a brand new suspension in the form of a complete Holbrook long leaf kit (research them seriously do it) a brand new complete bestop tiger top with doors. Come check it out also I have a sm465 that I had planned for a swap but that never happened you could have if u like”
This doesn’t run.

UPDATE: Sold on eBay. Was listed at $2500.
Listed as a 1947 CJ-2A, Jim took a look at this and discovered it had a CJ-V35 data plate. He reports the “owner said he has not started it in 15 years….all tires rotted, floorboards rusting through. He says it is a CJ2A and I checked the firewall plate and it is a CJ V 10800. . . . Nice seats and windshield though.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was No Price.
Sounds like it has been disassembled.
“This is a 1949 CJ3A that I bought about 5 years ago for $600. I saw it sitting in someone’s backyard and made them an offer. I have pictures of when I found it and pictures of it at home in my drive way. Over the next two years after I bought it I started stripping it down to perform a frame off restoration. I was not able to finish the project and now I have the entire jeep you see in the picture in 500 pieces in my garage. It has the L-134 inline 4 cylinder motor, T-90 transmission, Dana 18 transfer case, front axle Dana 25 and rear axle Dana 44. Everything is original to the jeep. I do have a clear title for the vehicle. Best offer and a trailer takes her home. I could possibly deliver all the parts as long as you are within a reasonable distance of my house.”
UPDATE: Was $6000. **SOLD**

James forwarded this gem of an ad. Looks like there are military and civilian jeeps for sale here.
“I recently purchased an estate of Willy’s CJ Jeeps and Parts, and I think I am ready to see if anyone needs parts or project vehicles. Mostly vintage with many early Willy’s CJ2A’s in complete condition and various stages. I have tubs also, some even bead blasted and ready to go. Looks like a fair amount of CJ5 and possibly early CJ7 as well. Look at the photos, that will give you an idea, most of the vehicles with wheels have complete drive trains. There are many loose front ends, rear ends, transmissions, and engine parts, as well as body parts.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2900.
(07/12/2014) This has a few updates.
“Great off roading jeep, flat fender willys. Lock right lockers, front & rear, full roll cage, spare tire carrier with rack & gas can holders, front disc brakes, f head 4 cylinder engine with weber carb, 15 inch mickey Thompson aluminum wheels dual shock each corner, lots of extra parts.”

Advertised as a 1952 CJ-3A, this looks more 2Aish, though it has full floating rear hubs. It doesn’t include wheels or tires.
“Project jeep, no drivetrain, the former owner started cutting the motor mounts out to install a small block, so you have some welding work. No title, bill of sale only. Perfect for a rock crawler, sand racer, or as a parts Jeep.
I bought this strictly for the military wheels and tires, it does NOT come with wheels and tires. If you bring a set of rollers, I’ll change them out in 10 minutes for you. Or, if this Jeep is pre-paid, I can deliver it to you for gas money, and remove the wheels when I get there. “
UPDATE: Price dropped to $7000
(09/05/2013) The starred seats are different.
“Running and driving olive green jeep for sale. Power steering added. Original motor. Some extra parts come with it.”

There are M-38 (dash, tailgate, grille) and CJ-3A (no battery box, cj gas inlet) elements on the body. Not sure what’s going on here. Seller lists as a CJ-3A.
“Willys Jeep runs good. Completely refurbished, engine idles very well and mechanically sound. Has a working winch. Military tread tires like new with a spare.”

Runs, drives and stops.
“What we have here is a 1952 Willys Jeep, before Jeep made em…
It has a flat head that runs well, it stops well, lights all work and it is a HOOT to drive…. All the gears work, choke, high idle, wipers, and yeah, they are individual wipers!! Windsheild folds down… I dunno what else to say…. The tires and wheels look new.. Gas tank has been boiled out, it was super clean.
Seats are not original and I made the frames to fit, using original holes..
She’s ready to enjoy as is… She leaks a few different fluids.. Like most 50 plus year old cars… I do not think the engine has been messed with.. but who knows.. Speedo does not work, but gas gauge does.. I have never put it in 4×4. Know nothing about it.. but has warn hubs?? “
Maybe there’s value?

http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/pts/4563544873.html
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6000.
(06/13/2014) Looks solid. The trailer and top could use a little de-greening.
“For Sale

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
(07/03/2014) This looks like a good price.
“Willys Jeep for sale, runs, original motor, original tranny, not original seats, original rollbar, windshield and frame in great shape, bought 4 wheels for it, crappy tires on right now. This is a somewhat a project vehicle, but with some new tires and a small amount of work would be absolutely fine for 4 wheeling and hunting. I could part this out for much more than 2500.00 but would like to see the whole jeep go. Light rust, previous owner had carpet in it but I ripped it all out.”
UPDATE: Price now $6200.
(07/10/2014) Looks in good shape.
“CJ3a. This Jeep has been rebuilt and restored. All new metal-floors, fenderwells, sides-from the cowl back. Linex coated inside and out. New electrical, u joints, exhaust. Engine rebuilt. 11” brakes. 12 volt conversion.

I will deliver it to LA for $750“

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4900
Listed as a CJ-3B, the body is more like a CJ-3A (the windshield is 3bish). The hood looks carefully modified.
“Up for sal is my 1954 Willys CJ3B. This jeep had a modified engine when I bought it. Modified to a ford 2.0L engine. I have had this jeep for a couple years and I just don’t drive it enough. New brake cylinders and tires. Upgraded gauges. New hubs. When I bought it, none of the gauges matched so I bought a set. Has a new speedometer. I also put in a new fuse box as this jeep never had one and it worried me. I have had a vehicle catch fire before and it isn’t fun. This jeep is fun to drive. It gets about 27mpg around town.”
Looks like a project.
“1952 Willys Jeep
ALL original, still has factory stamping!”
