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 $2800
The flatties are in OK to poor shape, but that CJ-5 is tweaked too much to be worth much, unless it’s got an overdrive or something else we can’t see.
“4 Four Willys Jeep project vehicles. Make two solid vehicles out of the four. Three appear to be Military. No record found at DMV, bill of sale only. First $2800.00 takes the lot. ”
It looks solid.

If this was done well, then this may be a good price. The pic is pretty small.
“53 willys on a cj5 frame, 304 bb, new paint & interior, 35 in tires, runs great, $3200.00 828-299-8946”
UPDATE: Was $5000. **SOLD**
(01/21/2010) It looks good.
“1950 Jeep CJ-3A Nice driver. Used daily. New top, wheels, battery, and much, much more. Converted to 12 volts and new wiring. Front and rear have been changed to newer units that are higher geared. I have the old set. Aluminum top also. $5000,”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
Doesn’t look too bad for $1000.
“Picked this up last year expecting this to be a “father and son” project…it turned out that neither of us had the time we thought we had. Son now wants a motorcycle or something “sportier” and I just want my driveway back. This Jeep needs to be completely restored and is not currently running. You could weld some sheet metal in the floor boards, reconnect everything, and bondo and paint it and it would pass for a while, but it is 50+ years old and would serve you better to really do some work on it. Aftermarket parts for this aren’t very painful…complete bolt on steel body kit runs about $3K from JC Whitney, a little less for fiberglass…if you want to bypass the patch, weld, and refinish route. Engine is easy to go through and lots of parts on the web. I have some makeshift seats (actual frame with a poly seat covering) and some miscellaneous parts to go along. Let me know your thoughts…I’m open to negotiation. Might consider a trade (for me, not my son)…possibly a running 60-70’s VW or a sportbike?? Check the link below for more pictures. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $250.
Not a whole lot of value left on this CJ.
“Basically, I have a completely unrestored, and non running CJ. Early willys. CJ2a windshield. A little cancer, all parts are there. Flat fendres, grill tail gate, original axles, tranny/tcase. Ford motor, disassembled at the heads, probably not even rebuild able.
I’ve had guys come look at this expecting more. When I say it needs a restoration I mean it. This is not a parts gold mine… Its old, its rusty and incomplete. Best used as parts, have panels taken from it, etc. I was going to take a Cherokee, and salvage all the parts from it to put into the Willys, but whatever you guys want. Its cheap enough, and price is negotiable it needs to move in 3 weeks or else it his the scrap yard. And yes the Capstan winch is GONE; no title”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200
The price looks good on this project.
“i have a 51 willys with a buick v6 in it the jeep was a project truck for offroad but i haven’t had the time to work on it but would make a great offroad rig or rock crawler… the brakes need to be blead and fluids replaced it has new tires and it needs a good fine tuning but will run please call with questions ”
This crawler does head stands!

It’s got a funky rollbar, but otherwise looks pretty sound.
“1951 Willys CJ3A. Very good condition. No rust! The guy I purchased it from brought it from Soutern CA and had the motor rebuilt, about 1200 miles ago. I put all new suspension, springs, shackles, and shocks.Comes with a custom made bikini top and 2 sets of tires, one stock size, and one oversized. currently registered as an antique.”

The seller says it need some work, but no indication what needs work.
“This is a willys jeep new 31s on it 3 speed 4cyl a big winch on the front brand new top 5 point harness on driver side cb and a cd player bench seat in back needs some work don’t no much just got from a friend had to move just tabed I only drove it 3 times ther are four sticks on the floor not rusty it’s strong runner I pulled a 1 ton out of a mud hole no porb got extra steering box mite trade for the right thing”

It runs and appears solid, but based on these pics, I wouldn’t say it is in ‘great shape’.
“THIS IS A 1951 WILLYS JEEP. IT HAS THE FLAT HEAD 4 CYL. IT IS IN GREAT SHAPE. THE FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE, HIGH AND LOW, WORK. IT NEEDS THE BRAKES LOOKED AT. IT RUNS GREAT!!! PLEASE CONTACT ME, ONLY IF YOU ARE SERIOUS.”

This has an unusual paint job and appears to support the ‘after market f head’ hood.

(12/31/09) I’m guessing this is most likely a CJ-3A.

(07/08/09) Here’s one for you Pittsburgh Steelers Fans!
“Very cool driver>>>>all original drive train and still runs like new. This is a good project or keep as is and use as a slow driver. No speed demon here as this was designed as a work horse with top speed around 50 mph. This is a good 20 footer and is a lot of fun. Take to Sand Lake and you can drive to town as this is what we used it for. Give me a call and we can make a deal as I am out of room. John @ 360 600-8213. Will deliver locally. It also comes with tow bar and you can Rat Rod it or make a cool Hot Rod too!”
