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 .

I bought this jeep from my uncle who owns a wrecking yard in Blythe CA . Upon visiting numerous times over the years he agreed to sell it to me for the sum of 1000 dollars and my 1972 lemans for trade as well, The Jeep was out of the DMV system due to the length of time it had not been registered as well as a lost title I waited 30 days for his paperwork to come back after the HWY patrol came out and cleared the vehical., It comes with all the papers you need to take to the DMV and pay about $65 dollars to transfer into your name, .thats it. The same paperwork you would get from an auto auction, There are no back registration fees PERIOD.
I have also taken a few more photos. The number on the plate (firewall pasenger side) reads “willys overland 452-GB1 19227 ”
No pics provided. Sounds like there might be value here.
“I am cleaning up quickly and thuroughly around here to sell our house and will give you all my Jeep stuff for $1200 ! There is basically 2 flat fender bodies pretty much complete and a CJ5 body complete and a rolling lifted Cj5 chassis with 34″ Swampers . These are reccomended as Bush buggies or parts . There are no tags with the Willys Jeeps but there is tags with the Cj5 although we have lost the papers . It was never in our name and we won’t be wasting our time on that but it was last registed in Langely I think so you can do it and put it in your own name easilly .
I will try to post a pic or two later but if you’re interested you’ll bring a trailer and load up regardless of what pics I might post .”

You’ll need a passenger side panel at the very least. This appears to be a mix of parts.

“Nice jeep new starter, alt, water pump, extra tranny call me 636 Two Nine 6 2163 leave message i will call back”
UPDATE: Now the seller needs to sell ASAP.
(04/11/2012) At first I thought this was a DJ-3A, but the side gas inlet suggests to me this is a CJ-3A.
“Need to sell 1955 Jeep CJ Willys! Does not run just needs battery and tires. Everything else is good. Its worth a pretty penny but i need a new car to start my job next week.

The drain holes have been filled. The vent over the windshield has been patched, too.
“49 willys, new seats, runs good, several new parts, this little CJ3A is alot of fun. Great for hunting or ice racing!!! ”
UPDATE: Now on Craigslist.
(07/17/2012) The windshield looks like a CJ-3B windshield, only taller? Or is that my imagination. The installation of the steering wheel was unusual . . .
“This is a 1948 jeep willys. Many mods/upgrades have been done. It has a compklete fiberglass body kit installed. It has a v-6 225 with headers and a holley intake. The motors runs but may have a blown head gasket, mily oil. It has a pto with a 10,000# winch. Also, having cnc hyd. conversions with rack and pinion steering. The tires are like new goodyears.

UPDATE: **SOLD** See comment below for more info.
No drain hole by the step, so this area has likely been patched.
“Condition: Runs and drives

(06/24/2012) This looks well maintained, but isn’t all original.
“1951 jeep willys cj3 all original but has been restored runs and drives good to 4 wheel drive works excellent the jeep has no rust it has been in the family forever we do not use any more time to let it go so if you are interested.
Rob spotted this priceless creation. It runs and drives and plows, which is more than can be said about some jeeps.
“I have a 1940,s? jeep. 3-speed Hi-Lo 4×4 with large Dune tires. Plow works good. I have original seat. Always garaged. Used for plowing drive way. V-6 engine runs good. Good clutch, transfer case & tranny. Asking $1,100. OBO Call 989-868-three 1 six 3 any time.”
http://saginaw.craigslist.org/pts/3158446102.html
UPDATE: Was $3000. **SOLD**
(07/25/2012) The seller provides some good details on the condition. It needs a few things to run.
“Just testing the waters with this.
The good:
It’s a 1951 CJ3A, has a title.
SOA Lift, Saginaw steering swap.
Has a 1964 Small Block Ford 289.
Chevy steering column
Rear fenderwells are modified to fit modern seats, comfortable sit in.
Dana 44 rear, Dana 27 front. Both from a scout 80/800.
Front disk brakes using Scout II rotors, GM calipers, etc.
Aluminum rims with 31×10.5xR15 tires, with 50% tread left
Converted to disk brakes, and hydraulic clutch.
Has a working speedometer, voltmeter, temp gauge, etc.
Brand new wiring harness front to rear.
Fully wired, blinkers, brakes, headlights. Has a 12 fuse fuseblock, with about 8 unused connections for various things.
Rebuilt Autolite 2100 carburetor. Engine runs amazingly well. The engine alone is worth 1500.
Drives perfect down the road, as in, you can take your hands off the wheel and it’ll track straight.
What it needs to be complete:
A new brake booster.
A better radiator, or a fan shroud to be made (gets hot, doesn’t overheat, gauge might be incorrect)
A fuel cell (purchased one on Ebay, still waiting, RCI 19 gallon aluminum fuel cell)
It’s currently registered as a classic (Horse drawn carriage, in WA state). I don’t have a set of plates for it, so it’s technically not legal to drive it on the road. In order to get it legal to drive on the road, you just need to go to the DOL, and you can get it registered as a normal car or truck. You’ll pay the taxes for the sale price on the jeep for the registration, then you’ll pay the tag and license plate fees (not sure on this). There won’t be any obscene paperwork, and no B.S.
The bad:
The body has “questionable” amounts of bondo, and rust.
The front fenders are some fold-forward setup that doesn’t line up very well.
Engine has a tendency to get warm. The brake booster and Master cylinder that came with it are shot, the booster is bad, and the MC seals are toast. Could be easily replaced from JY, and if somebody is seriously interested in purchasing this, i will gladly tell you the make/model of vehicle you can get the setup off of.
Reason i’m selling:
The funding isn’t really there. I’m a college student, and my budget is getting stretched pretty thin. As of recent events, i’m in the market for a new(er) truck. I just don’t have the time and money to give to this thing to make it what it could be, and i would love to see somebody who has the devotion take it off my hands and turn it into something much nicer than what it currently is.”

“1949 Willys CJ jeep has undergone an extensive frame-off, nut and bolt restoration and is ready for its next assignment. Call Phil at 715-456-0036 for more information.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
(02/22/2012) This looks solid.
“Runs drives and stops, needs a little tinkering to be great. 1951 willys jeep, new carb, new master cylinder, new winshield, new steel spare,new fuel pump, new manifold gasket, good tires, good paint, turn signals, guages work, gas tank repaired, 8000# warn winch, good seats, also have fleece seat covers in the package. no toop or doors tranny slips out in 3rd when you let off gas, needs shift fork adjusted. $4000.00 no tire kickers or BS.”
Both of these are projects.
“Ok, I have two Willy’s jeeps for sale. One is a 1951 and the other is a 1952. Both are projects that have a ton of potential. If you have ever enjoyed watching a late seventies show called “Rat Patrol,” these jeeps are for you! Imagine wearing your U.S. Army fatigues flying through the desert with a dog-rocket in your mouth! That is freedom brother! You and your son or daughter will definitely have an awesome time restoring these fine gems. Just imagine, the best quality bonding time with your offspring as you restore these treasures. When completed you will have one for you ,and one for your teenager. Then its off to the Mountains so that you can train your child on how to negotiate the roughed mountain trails. I cannot believe I am selling you not only these jeeps, but an experience with you family that will be passed down several generations. They will talk about the jeeps that grandpa restored and what an awesome man you were. Wow, what a legacy you will leave! Anyway, I am asking $3,000.00 OBO. I am also open to trades. Guns, Gold, Silver, Pygmy Goats……Call Ned at 602 six one nine 7749 Now, prepare yourself for the time of your life! Also, it’s best not to tell your wife until you have these jeeps in your yard. Trust me, she will be so suprised and excited for your big adventure! Hurry, these deals will not last….I anticipate having to auction them off due to the popularitiy and high demand to own them!”
