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 .
Based on the header in the pic, I’m guessing this is running a buick V6.

For $2500, you can have the jeep and a 14′ car hauler. Plenty of cancer on this project.
“1951 Willys CJ3A with attached Snow Plow and a Hard Top. It does run, but smokes (hole in exhaust??). Currently, the brakes aren’t working, but I haven’t looked into the reason why. It might be as simple as no brake fluid. The jeep is brown in color (from paint), but does have some rust. The driver’s side floor is rusted through. The engine or carburetor has been modified (reason for the addition on hood), but I don’t know anything about it. $1300 OBO. I also have a car hauler that I’d be willing to sell with this jeep. Its a 14′ car hauler. $2500 for the CJ-3A & Trailer. I do have the titles for both the jeep and the trailer. Cash only. Sorry, I will not ship the jeep and I will not wire funds.”

“Excellent running stock jeep with 5K miles on engine. Has roll bar, soft top, back seat, Warn winch and tow bar. A great off road machine.”

I don’t see a battery box in the cowl, but I do see a M-38 gauge panel. In general it looks very nice.

This looks very nice.
“Frame off restored 10 years ago,very nice condition, runs and drives good,b”

This is a project, but it’s hard to tell how much ‘project’ is left to do.
“1950 Jeep CJ-3B Willis. All metal in good condition, 4 cylinder L-134, 3 speed transmission, needs windshield and engine rebuilt, great project vehicle. $1,000”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
This is a non-running CJ-3A, so the price will undoubtedly drop.
“1950 Willy’s Jeep. Civilian version. Needs…new paint job, some rust restoration, engine work (Not currently running). A few spare parts.
This is a running jeep for only $600. It looks to be a CJ-3A to me.

“Selling 1950 CJ-3A. Everything should be original except wiring was redone 30 + years ago and a new top bought about 25 or so years ago. All in all seems to be in good shape. Has been garage/shed/storage kept since ’83. A little work should get her running. Serial number is 51990. Would like $3k w/ the top or $2500 w/o it. Open to some negotiation.

This CJ-3A appears to have a CJ-2A windshield.

There’s been some body work done on the driver’s side near the step.
“
Original drive train except Warn overdrive has been added. No rust. Runs and drives good. Not many originals left like this.”
Here’s another one of these Willys/Toyota hybrids. It appears to have been a well executed transformation, though the front bumper is a little underwhelming.
“This auction is for my 1953 Willys Jeep built using my many years of experience owning and using lifted Jeeps as daily drivers.The very clean Willys Jeep body is mounted on a Suzuki Samurai frame. This was done to gain a light weight, fully boxed, straight and rust free frame. I installed a Toyota 20R mated to a Toyota 4 speed transmission and 2 speed transfer case. These were bought with about 80,000 miles on them per the previous owner.The engine starts immediately and does not smoke. I upgraded to an electronic distributor and purchased a used MSD box (works great). I am also running a remanufactured Holley 32/36 carburetor.The transmission shifter has a lot of play but there are no issues with how it works (it does not pop out of gear or make noises). A new clutch was put in when the transmission was installed.”
UPDATE: Back on eBay
This is a CJ-3A with a M-38 body and some stainless additions, such as the grille and jockey box.
“You are bidding on a beautifully restored 1949 Willys Overland Jeep. It was aquired by a father and son in Utah who did much of the major restorations between 2000 and 2003. During that time it also ran one of the Moab courses. In 2003 it was purchased by a collector in Connecticut who did little more with it than store it in a heated garage. I bought it in 2007. The chasis, engine and drive train are original CJ3A (civilian) and the body is a steel M 38 (military). It has after market front lock out hubs. It is painted Subaru Electric Yellow. The electrical system is 12 volts … reach seller directly at 860-966-0292”
Here’s a nice looking jeep, though it’s only 2WD. The rollcage is built from some small diameter tubing.
“1952 jeep this is flawless it is 2wd ,305 motor, motor runs awsome, posi rear ( the rearend has been beefed up big time) auto trans, with trans cooler , bikini top, rancho suspension, this can be registered as an antique that means cheap and no need for an inspection sticker, built from the ground up no rust no flaws you wont find a cleaner ride and it is lots of fun. you couldnt build this for the price I want. you can contact me at horrace@roadrunner.com or call 441-0779 ask for kevin this is a turn key setup.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
“This is a new jeep tub kit, all stainless, on a new frame, with a new top, it has 1978 CJ front and rear axles under it, no motor or tranny has ever been in it. The whole jeep is priced not much more than a plain steel bodykit alone. If you like flat fendered jeeps this is something special!!!!!!!!!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4750
“WILLYS JEEP, 1951 CJ3A WITH 327 CHEVY V8, DOUBLE HUMP HEADS, WARN OVERDRIVE, WAGONEER BRAKES, POWER STEERING, EVERY THING WORKS
$4750 OBO.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900
It’s not clear to me why this jeep would need trailering even though it drives?
“Some what of a project still. All the hard work done just needs a few things put back on and figure out why the clutch is slipping. 12 volt system new tires new top and bimini top. new wiper motors and windoe rubber. Buick V-6 and 2” spring lift. Tub is solid and rhino lined inside and in the wheel wells. Has a new hood to go with it. Hasn’t seen the outdoors in plenty of years. Give it your finishing touches. “
