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 $5900

It looks nice. I’m not sure if it’s a CJ-3A with the wrong year or a CJ-2A with a 3A windshield.

“Have two Jeeps need to let one go. I have restored one of them and don’t have the money finish this one. I have all the parts to rebuild it, except the seats, and radiator they were not original. These are great Jeeps, I love the one I built. Originally pulled the motor because of a cracked valve seat. Can install new valve and you will have a runner.

This is a project.
“I have a 53 willys for sale. The jeep is a project that needs to be put back together, the engine, tranny, transfer case, and both diffs have all been rebuilt about three years ago. It has low miles. I started to take the jeep back apart to do the body work and paint, and some other upgrades and ran out of money and time, to many projects. I have all parts, so you can put it back together and run it that way or you could finish what I started and make it look nice!

(05/25/2010) Is that a stainless grille? If so, this looks like a good price.

Looks good. This was listed for $3000 in January, so I’m wondering if it was bought and is now being resold.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(10/26/09) I’m guessing it’s a CJ-3A, however the body appears to have a solid back, so it might be a DJ-3A body? The seller has included a long description.
“This is a 1940 or early 50’s Jeep Willys. I’m not sure because this jeep is registered as a 1967 due to the year of the motor. The motor is a Chevy 283 V8 from a 67’ Chevelle. This Jeep is full of goodies and will always be smog exempt ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1750
(04/27/2010) It looks like it needs some glass.

Here’s a non-running CJ-3A.
“1952 Willys Jeep.”
It runs and drives, but looks like it could use some work.

(04/15/2010) Some of this jeep still has some old school paint touches. The headlight bezels look a little narrower and stick out more than a standard bezel. I’d be interested in seeing some better shots of those.
“Lots of off road or street fun! Califorina Jeep has chevy 327 with edelbrock manifold and carb. New upholstery, canvas top and doors. Street legal, 4 x 4 lock out hubs 4 speed , good tires and spare, extra gas can.”

In early April of 2010, Kurtis found a solid looking, stock 1950 CJ-3A named Ike that he plans to restore to off-the-dealer-floor condition. He’s built a website (http://kurtisfranklin.com/blog/) to chronicle his restoration adventures and recently provided some good details on a V-Cell Radiator.
Good luck on your restoration Kurtis; I think it will turn out well! Here’s a pic of Ike:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000. It has a Muller Top.
UPDATE: More pics. Some interesting pics of the custom soft top. Price dropped to $10,000. This also comes with the electric overdrive, which demonstrates you can sneak one of these behind a transfercase in a flattie.
(10/06/2009) It looks like there’s been some well done customizations. I’d like to see more pics to see more.
