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 .
Another expensive, but nice Willys.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
(12/19/2012) This seems a little strange. The seller bought this twelve years ago from someone in Arizona. It still has the Arizona title. What’s strange is that instead of new pictures, the seller appears to be showing pictures from Arizona, which I think means the pictures are twelve years old? You gotta love the tiny rope around the bumper, lol.
“1951 Willys CJ-3A Jeep Overland 4×4 Go Devil
This CJ3A has its original Go Devil engine- runs and drives great.
Never been cut or modified.
Very good original condition with cosmetic improvements and electrical upgrade to 12v.
Purchased in Pinetop, AZ about 12 years ago from the estate of a man who was said to be the original owner.”

Seller will take best offer.
“1955 CJ3a Flat fender willeys Jeep. New carb. New Fuel Pump. New valves and valve guides. It has been sitting in the back of the shed for the last 5 years. Need the room”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This might make a good restoration. It looks like the body has been patched a bit.
“n 1950 the USMC ordered only 1000 of these jeeps. This jeep was designed to run submerged for 15 minutes. The serial # ran from 10,000 to 11,000 and this jeep is # 410. My research has this jeep being one of only 29 ever found. The motor is original to the jeep and runs by feeding it fuel. This CJV35/U has one of only 3 original distributors left. The distributor alone has been valued at $3000.00. This jeep still has the original 6 volt generator, starter and voltage regulator. It also still has the positive ventilation valves, waterproof headlights, and the 6 volt ignition switch. The radios are gone! The 12volt generator for the radios is gone! The hold down loops for the front and rear are still there. The hood is original and still has the 4 hood hold downs and the original USMC bumper #.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
This still needs some work. The brakes aren’t quite ‘right’.

Tires are brand new i put them on basically to roll around to repair, Would suggest getting some type of mud tire. Other than that this thing is ready to have fun with. If you are looking for something to tear down and put a 350 engine and transmission in, this jeep is not for you.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(03/14/2013) This may be a good price if the suspension was modified to crazily.

Nate’s simple reasoning for installing two carbs on his L-Head (I had two YF carbs and plenty of time) belies his good understanding of how why the carbs add more power (see his explanation in the thread comments). As usual, very nice work Nate!
See all the pictures and discussion at the cj3apage.com
Lots of mods on this crawler.

Given the Oregon Plates, I’m guessing this hasn’t been run a whole lot lately.

Charles wanted to share some pictures of his sharp 1952 CJ-3A from the Belgium Military. He’s added a few custom items such as the bezels. Looks great Charles!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
This fiberglass bodied jeep includes an overdrive. It hasn’t been touched in a while, but there appears to be value here.
“53 Willys Jeep. Project. Set up for small Chevy. 3 speed manual tranny. Dana 18 with Warn O/D. Fiberglass body. Stock Dana axles. Stock Willys frame. Has not ran in probably decades. Purchased by my late Father in the early 90’s, and put where it sits. Original Vin plate intact. Hasn’t been tagged since 1988. Definitely a project. Will NOT part out.
Was told the little Chevy in it, is a 327. But I have no way to confirm it. If interested, you would need to come look at it. Like I said, it’s a project. It’s being sold as is. Have not been able to find the title, but I am looking. It existed at one time. $1000 obo. The Vin alone is worth….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
I suspect the seller wants more than its worth.

http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/cto/3681946063.html
UPDATE: Still Available
(02/18/2013) I believe the body is fiberglass and the front clip is metal. This has a rear PTO I believe, too.

In 1950 Provincetown added this CJ-3A and pumper trailer to their equipment.
The caption under this page reads: Provincetown Engine No.6 – c.1950, Willy’s Jeep with Maxim 500 gpm trailer served as Engine 6 from c.1950 into the 1970’s. The pump trailer may have been made by Maxim, as they made many during WWII, probably 500 gpm.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500.
This CJ-3A looks nicely restored.

lots of other s**t I can’t remember

I assembled it with mostly stainless hardware. It’s a pretty cool old jeep, It is slow like you would expect from 1940’s technology but it is a fun ride. I want to trade it for a decent Harley big twin bike.I value it at $10,000 I would trade for a really good shovelhead or evo bike. A bobber or chopper style bike would flip my switch. might consider other cool (a rusty pickup or ford taurus etc is not cool) trades if it makes sense. whatcha got?”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000
The front bumper has been updated, but the rest of this looks solid.
“Rebuilt motor, new clutch system, new cab, lay down windshield, new gas tank,new upholstery. Runs good.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
It looks like a project.
“For your consideration is a 1950 cj3a jeep project vehicle. The vehicle has the original drivetrain, including the L134 flat head motor. The only thing that I believe that is missing are the front seats. Extra parts include axels, a transmission and transfer case, windshield frame and front hood. There is also a set of vintage dualmatic locking hubs”
