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 .
Looks like a fun jeep ready for some off-roading. With all that power and updates, it could use a full rollcage IMHO.

“1949 Willy’s CJ3A. Runs and drives great. I have an additional motor that came with it when I bought it from a 1960 Jeep, original hood and tow bar. Also, I have an extra set of wheels and tires to go with it. The body is in great shape. Little to no rust. The guy I bought it from wasn’t sure on the year, but said he dropped in an early 1960’s F4-134 F-Head motor. Everything works: four-wheel drive, transmission, lights, speedometer, oil-pressure, etc. Already has the classic license plates.
It is 73 years old, so there’s always room for improvement. The windshield is cracked, no e-brake (I have the housing), gas gauge doesn’t work (needs a new tank sending unit), muffler pipe is cracked and could use a weld, wouldn’t hurt to get a new battery. It’s been converted to a 12V system.
Overall, it’s a great Willy’s that isn’t rusted out. It’s been stored inside. Nice to drive to town or take into the mountains. Awesome hunting rig, just don’t have the time or storage anymore for it. $6,200 OBO. Looking for cash at the moment, no trades.”
This is a mix of parts and ingenuity.

You’ll have to come check it out to appreciate the work. Has been sitting awhile but will start and run. Good tires all around. Used it around the farm for fun but have no use for it anymore.”
UPDATE: This is back up for sale.

(08/28/2022) This might have a DJ-3A or a replacement body. The looks to be a V-6.
“I don’t have many details about the motor and trans, it is not running, but all parts you need are there, transmission and transfer case are installed in the jeep, I would have both rebuilt. It’s not a rust bucket and can be restored”
Listed as a 1946, this could actually be a 3A (or certainly looks like one).
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/400696368272188
“This is truly a fantastic full body off restoration using most original parts. Very nicely done CJ-2 with good metal all around, in great running condition. Starts easily, strong original 4 cylinder engine,shifts nicely through the gears and the transfer case with lock out hubs is sound. It also has a nice top and sport bar. Not an original color, but attractively finished in a light metallic teal green with good seat upholstery. All glass and rubbers are excellent with 5 brand new tires and 5 clean, bright wheels. This is a turn key vehicle. The only things that need a bit (and I do mean just a bit)of attention are the gas gauge and the carburetor as it leaks a little. Everything else – wipers, lights, speedometer, etc. work fine. No signs of rust, rot or prior collision damage. Bargain priced for quick sale at $12000 or best offer FOB Broken Arrow, Okla.”
This has a replacement body.

This seems worth a look.

Tom spotted this amalgamation of parts. Listed as a 1951 CJ-3A, this jeep has a DJ-3A front end, but the front crossmember suggests the frame is not from a DJ. The body could be DJ-3A. The engine isn’t, but it is stuck anyway.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/5273403332779471/
Flat Fender Jeep project. Titled as a 1951 CJ3A is 2WD. I believe it has a 283 Chevy engine in it but engine is stuck and I do not have time to mess with it. Has some rust, but good project. If listing is up it’s available and will not respond to that question.”
Listed as a 1947 CJ-2A, the body appears to be from a 3A, as it lacks the ignition switch hole on the dash. It also lacks frame horns on the front frame rails.
