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 .
This may have been a nice looking rig back in its heyday.

“1954 willys frame and body. This Vehicle had a 327 Chevy motor swap. We took the motor out but the automatic transmission is still there. There are another set of tires with this”
Listed as a 1947 and a 1948, this appears to be a 1949 (or later) CJ-3A.

“I have a fairly clean tub that the floor has been replaced with diamond plate, frame, hood, grill and fenders for sale. It’s missing the windshield.

“Willys CJ3A 4X4 Jeep with a ford 289 V8. Running driving and stopping project. Very little to no rust! Very nice upgrades to the frame. Two new front seats also included. $3800.00”
Listed as a 1947 CJ-2A, the lack of bumper gussets and the lack of bow holders suggest this might be a CJ-3A.

“Original CJ Willis jeep, all original must see!!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7200.
(06/08/2021) This could be a DJ-3A body that’s been modified, but it’s hard to tell for sure. This jeep has a Bobcat hood, but it lacks a front driveline.
“Ford 302, has less than 100 miles since rebuild.
Ford T-18 transmission
Dana 20 transfer case
Boxed mail Jeep frame
Warn M8274-50 winch

Dana 44 rear end with Powerlock locker
Warn manual hubs
4:88 gear ratio on the differentials

Lots of custom work on this unusual creation.

“This is a 1951 Willys CJ3A project, with a clean title. I’ve wanted to complete this restoration, but life circumstances have gotten in the way. The jeep has an original L134 “go devil” engine, 6 volt system. Engine doesn’t run, but is free and turns over under starter power. Transmission and transfer case appear to be free, statically shifts into: R, 1, 2, 3, high, low; and transfer case in/out. Chasis wiring has been pulled, needs a new complete wiring harness. Original fuel tank and oil bath aircleaner were junk, have been scrapped, and need replaced. Previous owner installed new exhaust and wheel cylinders. I apologize for the sub-par pictures”
Looks solid.

I have put quite a bit of time and new parts in the Jeep. New Rancho lift with shocks. New 31×10.50 tires. Pretty firm on the price. If it doesn’t sell it’s getting 4cyl diesel. Figured I’d post before I pulled the original Willys F head.”
Looks like this has some version of a Porter & Reed hardtop.

https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb/cto/d/long-beach-1950-willys-cj3a-project/7392542964.html
“Rolling project. Most of the hard stuff is done.
Rust free tub, nice and straight. Some small damage on the passenger side (see photo). The frame is not boxed.
Strong 289. Cammed and stroked to 305. Holley TA-II carb. Dual Flowmasters.
Original 3-speed Transmission and D18 Xfer case.
I have a NP435 and Novak adapter kit to mate with a D20 transfer case. Rebuild kits for both, new 6 spline main shaft for the transmission, and new input gear for the transfer case. Everything is there to build it out and hook it up to the D44’s. The transmission was rebuilt for a 2wd, so it will need to be redone to mate with the transfer case.
Frame horns extended and shackles reversed. Saginaw steering already swapped in.
EZ Wire 12 fuse mini kit. (I don’t think they offer this kit anymore). The wiring is not finished, but the engine wiring is roughed in and it will run. New alternator and relay, fusible link etc…

Looks promising, but more pics would be helpful.
