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 on eBay.
The pics show the looks very straight.
“1949 WILLYS JEEP CJ-3A UNIVERSAL 4 X 4, ORIGINAL engine(rebuilt), 257 miles(odometer not hooked up), WINCH ON FRONT, 6 volt converted to 12 volt, Good Working Condition, New Willys-Overland Jeep Parts List Manual included ($40 value), Seats need to be reupholstered, Doors Included but need cleaned, CURRENT UP-TO-DATE TAG”
It’s a running CJ-3A. I can’t tell what the rust situation is. It could be a very good price.
“Willys CJ-3A with title. Drive it home today for $1450.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $19,990
“Hunter’s dream! Willys jeep and custom trailer. Drop down tail gate and lined throughout with 1/8″ alum. diamondplate for easy hose out after hunt.

UPDATE: Pics now provided.
“I have a CJ3A with an M38 body (early repro) that has been in dry storage for 6 yrs. It is in mid resto. The running gear is complete and completely redone. All new leaf springs with xtra leaf, clutch, exhaust, brake lines and hoses, every gasket and seal for engine trans and xfer case. The frame was completely sandblasted and repainted with new rear bumper and all new bolts where necessary. The body is sitting on the frame, not mounted. I have MANY new parts and EXTRAS, all pieces to finish the job with exception of a wiring harness. I will include the original Koenig hardtop. It needs some work to be nice but it is complete and functions properly. I would need notice to show. As I said it is in storage. I can be reached at 603-783-1209.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
This is a great looking road and trail jeep.
“This my baby. I have had this jeep for 20 years and had a blast. Now it is time to pass it on maybe. This jeep runs and drives great, everything works. It has Buick 231 V6 with a 2 barrel rochester. It has the original 3 speed transmission and Dana 18 twin stick transfer case. Dana 44 Rear, 27 Front. Both have been convetered over to 4:27 gears, powerlocks, and 19 spline axles. It did have a warn overdrive but I took it out, they like to break a lot…”
Here’s a CJ-3A that still has the 6 volt system. This might be a good find if you want to restore a CJ-3A without too much work.
“This is a very nice original jeep. (very rare). Most have been modified heavily. The only thing modified are seat belts, roll bar, lockout front hubs, and of course wheels and tires. The original engine, transmission and transfer case are still under the hood! It is still 6 volt with a new battery. I had the clutch replaced a few months ago and the mechanic didn’t do it right so I haven’t driven it since then. I knew I should have done it myself!!! It wasn’t aligned properly so it has a vibration. I haven’t had the time to fix it myself and I don’t trust anyone to do it for me. It needs a new accelerator pedal linkage and he’s ready for all of the fun you can handle … Anyway thanks for shopping by and you can call or text me at my cell# 214-616-9911 (yes I do live in OKC, just haven’t changed my cell phone). I just don’t have the time to keep Willy up and would like to see him get a new good home.”
I’m pretty sure the other stuff isn’t included.
“Came from CJ2a should fit 3a. Needs Sanding and a coat of paint”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This isn’t a perfect restoration, but it looks good. I’m pretty sure that’s a CJ-2A body though, unless someone put CJ-2A corner brackets on a CJ-3A body.
“GROUND UP, BODY OFF RESTORATION, 1951 CJ-3A, 2172 MILES SINCE COMPLETION, ENGINE & DRIVE LINE HAVE BEEN GONE THROUGH INCLUDING NEW CLUTCH, ALL NEW BRAKING SYSTEM, NEW EXHAUST, NEW LIGHTS, 12 VOLT CONVERSION, REMANUFACTURED STARTER, NEW BATTERY, NEW BELTS & HOSES, NEW IGNITION PARTS, NEW DUPONT PAINT (FACTORY FARM BLUE), STARTS, RUNS & DRIVES GREAT, GOOD HEATER WORKS GREAT, NEW SOFT TOP & DOORS, ALL NEW GAUGES INCLUDING SPEEDO WHICH WAS REPLACED DURING RESTORATION …”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
“Jeep is complete with stock engine, trans, etc. Bought for project car.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $650
I wonder what the diameter of that rollbar is? Looks pretty big around. This might have minimal rust, but somethings been done to the steps.
“No time to rebuild this toy. It is in very good condition with minimal surface rust. Tub in great shape. This is a project vehicle. The last time it ran was a few years ago. It has a F-Head 134 I4 (4 cycle). The oil filter has been modified and the electrical is 12V instead of 6V. I am not going to snow anyone over or waiste their time – the engine could be siezed! Also available = The front bumper is heavy duty with a PTO Wench, however, the PTO on the Jeep has not been installed ****Not included in Price**** …. “
UPDATE: Was $4400. **SOLD**
“1951 Willys Jeep CJ3A Flat Fender. Original 134 cubic inch L-Head “Go-Devil” motor that was completely rebuilt top to bottom by a well-known professional establishment in Sumner – Bow Tie Performance -. It was pulled, rebuilt, and then all the accessories were replaced too: brand new fuel pump, water pump, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, oil filter, all fluids replaced, new motor mounts, new lines and hoses, carburetor rebuilt, sprayed with high temperature paint and runs like a dream.

The transfer case is an original Dana 18 twin-stick. Frontend is the Dana 27 open with original lockout hubs. The rear is an offset Dana 44 with a limited slip. ….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000
Either the pics have been heavily compressed or a texture was added to the outside of the body.
“all original, almost totally rebuilt body, newly rebuilt engine with less than 100 miles, fully documented parts-upgrades-repairs since my ownership, serious offers only with delivery up to buyer–may consider Harley trade.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500
“1949 Willy’s Jeep, 250 Chevy Engine Straight 6 with overdrive, 3 inch lift, 33 inch tires. Full removable Top. Removable tow bar”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
This looks like a good, solid CJ-3A.
“1951 Willy’s Jeep CJ3A Flat fender Ford 4 Cyl. Pinto Engine. New soft bikini top, maroon color. Nice stock jeep with no rust, runs good, cb, with rear seat, newer black & red interior, seats four comfortably. Willey’s logo is on tailgate.”
To say this is ‘all original’ except for the running gear struck me as strange. It would seem there would have to be a variety of updates to accomodate the running gear.
“it is all orignal except the runing gear. i put chevy 1/2 ton in it, i had them narrowed to keep the same look of the jeep, i still have the orginal front end. it also has a custom roll cage 33s but it will fit 38s all it needs to run is fuel lines and fuel pump”
I love the old hubs on this classic CJ-3A (pic below). I don’t think I’ve seen these Cutter hubs before. I did a search on them, but couldn’t find anything.
“Up for auction is an amazingly original 1950 CJ3A. This vehicle was used by the mosquito abatement district in Chico, California since the 50’s and has been very well maintained. Other than an inop vacuum wiper motor, worn clutch and non-original temp gauge everything is original and works! (Even the hand brake!) Unless the vehicle was in use it was stored in a closed maintenance garage contributing to the great condition of the body tub and frame. The only rust on the vehicle is located in the passenger side floor/hat channel, an area adjacent to the driver’s side top bow pocket and and area on the driver’s side just forward of the rear wheel well opening, (see pictures). That’s it! …. There is so much more! New battery and starter. Very unusual Cutter front hubs. You don’t run across one like this very often! Feel free to e-mail me with any questions you might have.”
UPDATE: Still available
Those old terra-like tires appear in pretty good shape. I had a set a couple decades ago before switching to desert dogs. This has a few dents and dings, but looks solid. I’m guessing it’s stored inside.
“1940’s Willys Jeep. Runs great. Needs some break work. Has a PTO. Has a hard top and doors.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6800.
This looks cleaned up and ready to hit the road.
“Restored registered and on the road 1949 CJ-3A. new tub, NO rust / rot rebuilt moter and axles with lockright in rear axle. to much more to list but restored from the ground up. has over $8000 into it. if interested e-mail I will talk have lots of pic’s. Joe”
The price appears to high given the state of the body, so I expect the price to drop before it is sold.
“I am posting this for my uncle it is a willys jeep year is between a 46-54. All the parts are there except the air cleaner, It has the original flathead motor, hi/lo transfer case. It would be good to restore or for parts. $1500 obo 502-291-0638 Jeremy”
This might be a pretty good price as it runs and drives. No glaring problems with the body that I see.
“1950 willys jeep runs good and yard drives, $1500.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6900
This looks pretty good.
“1950 Jeep CJ-3A. Original 4 cylinder engine, new radiator core, fuel pump, re-built starter. Runs great! Saginaw steering. Two soft tops, roll-bar and tow bar. All wheel/axle seals recently serviced and replaced. Lots of extra parts.”
This looks like a very good price.
“Great old Jeep! I just do not use anymore and it is in my barn. Runs great–probably needs fresh gas. All origininal. Call 608-576-3889.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2500. An Overdrive can be purchased for extra?
“1949 Willys must sell soon. Tub in good condition, has bikini top, ford small block 302, optional warn overdrive, new 36″ swampers, spring over lift, lockers, 5:38 gears. Lots of good stuff.
Asking $2500 call 253-777-2360 ask for chris ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
I’m not if there is anything from 1942 on this jeep. Looks more like a CJ-3A.
“Jeep is a work in progress, needs to be finished, has box tube frame, PTO winch, full cage, CB, top w/ doors, 44″ growd hawgs, tilt steering, built 350 small block, 194 heads, torker intake, outside frame headman headers, 14blt rear, d44 front. Comes with New hydralic assist braking system, sm420 4spd, 205 transfer case and 44” spare. needs steering and brakes done and she’s ready to rock, “
UPDATE: Was $1800. **SOLD**
It appears the body has been painted since it was put up for sale a couple months ago. This appears to be a good price.
“I was asking $2200/firm. This is the last time I will reduce the price. $1800/firm. If it does not sell for this price, I will not sell it. Calls only. No emails.”
