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 .

(05/31/2014) This has a Navy Plate. The jeep is listed as a 1952 CJ-3A, but the Navy plate is for a 1953 CJ-3A.

Here’s a good looking CJ-3A.
“This is a NICE Original UN-MODIFIED 1951 Willys Jeep CJ3A and as you can see in the pictures it was well cared for and is BEAUTIFUL! Careful to not let this 1951 jewel get away! What a value it is at the reserve price which is set very low! This BEAUTY has what we were told is only 38,949 ORIGINAL MILES!
The previous owner was a local businessman that kept it at his mountain cabin and put less that 5,000 miles on it in the 20+ years he owned it. This Jeep has ALL its ORIGINAL SHEET METAL. Take a look at the lines on this beauty, what an amazing looking 1951 Willys Jeep CJ3A. This Stock 1951 Willys Jeep CJ3A is one nice driving rig and in very nice shape.”

(03/15/2014) The sides of the body’s rear have been heightened.
“1949 willys that still runs and drives. Has the original iron duke 4 cyclinder with the 3spd tranny. Motor still starts right up and runs great. This is just a cool old jeep for someone to keep how it is or build into a wheeler or even restore it completley. I suggest a trailer if your not close to the gresham area.

UPATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
The windshield on this 2A was a surprise. That could be a pretty rare windshield, though it appears to be a CJ-3A rather than a M-38 windshield. This also has a rear PTO.
“1946 willys jeep, m38 military, project, has rear p.t.o.,— have all parts,with new rebuilt motor, have all receipts, could be froze up from sitting,have xtra parts… …$1500. “
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $950.
Given the parts, there appears to be value here.
“2 jeeps one is a cj2a and the other is a cj3a 1940s to 50s era. Both are pretty complete but are very rusty. Drivetrains are both there but engines may be stuck. The cj3a also has the PTO that comes out the back. Also have and extra motor and trans and a couple boxes of misc. parts, There are no titles for these so are being sold with a bill of sale as parts vehicles. Asking $950.00 but will entertain any reasonable offer. Dont have to sell so will not give away. Thanks for looking”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2250.
This hasn’t run in a while, but it does have both a rare dualmatic overdrive & an even rare sticker on the dash.
“I am selling my 1950 Jeep CJ-3a, civilian model, with 52,000 miles. We are moving and it needs to be sold. It has not run in about 5 years, but my dad drove it pretty often before that. He said he needed to work on some part of the engine, but he didn’t think it was anything major. He never got around to it before he passed away. The body has a few spots of surface rust, but I went over the entire thing and there is no major rust anywhere. The body is in great shape. The seats are original and you can see that it’s been garage/barn kept for the past 20-30 years (at least). It belonged to my grandfather until his death in 1988. There is a cut-down soft top for it that covers the front seats, but it has been modified because the original top was in bad shape. I have some replacement parts that my dad collected over the years as well. I also have the title which is clear.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Were $3800.
Both jeeps include rare Blue Star Aluminum Tops. One jeep runs and one doesn’t. I thought these jeeps were for sale on eBay at one point.
“2 1951 Willys Jeeps, one runs, drives nice and one is complete but motor stuck. Both are all original with clear titles. Twin Valley , Minn trades ?? $3800.00 for both. Will make one nice 1951 original CJ3A Jeep with a lot of spare parts to sell.”
Those are some unusual headlight bezels.
“runs good. comes with custom aluminum top, diamond plate, “sparcco” style seats and rear rack.”
http://rockies.craigslist.org/cto/4513971117.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
The body’s been patched a bit. It’s listed as a 1948, but also listed as a CJ-3A.
“CJ 3a. Runs great, 4 wheel drive works. Carburetor just rebuilt. Inside sprayed with rhino liner color matched to outside color. The bottom of the sides are also sprayed with the rhino liner
New seats. Ready for summer fun. Tow bar means you don’t need a trailer to haul this around, 2 inch ball and your ready to take it to the woods for fun. Clean Florida title in hand.”
