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: Price dropped to $1800.

“I don’t know what I have here, but this is for sale. The title says 1951 Jeep. This belonged to a friend of mine who was storing it on my property, until he passed away last August. It was running when he pulled the carburetor for a rebuild, but never had a chance to finish. I have the carburetor but there is no key. If you have questions please ask and I’ll do my best to answer or post more pictures. Hoping someone here can shed some light and make a honest assessment and reasonable offer. The Jeep has a clear Montana title and is located in Central California.”

A stock, solid looking CJ-3A. Electrical has been updated to 12 volt.
“This little jeep has been great for my family over the years. We have primarily used it around our property, collecting firewood and doing other chores for the last decade. I purchased this vehicle from the original owner who bought it from a dealer in Glenwood Springs, CO. This is an original Colorado vehicle that runs and drives good. It can be used “as is” around your property or is a great start for a restoration project.
We have recently moved to town out of the mountains. As much as we want to keep this little jeep, we have limited storage and no longer have a use for it. We are asking $4,800.00. Clean, clear title in hand. Please email, text or call James with any questions or schedule a time to see it.”

“1951 Jeep CJ3A · Other_body_style · Driven 123,456 miles
Details in the photos. Well built Jeep. I bought it a little while ago from the builder with the intention of keeping it but I found the expedition build platform I want so a couple toys need to go.
It will track down the highway at 65mph no problem, starts every time and hasn’t given me any issues. Wheelbase it stretched about 6” I’d guess but I haven’t put a tape on it. Top in in good shape but one door window has a 6” tear.
I have new front shock mounts ready to be welded on and Ruff-Stuff 3/8 diff covers for both axles with Lube Locker gaskets un-installed.
$6000 OBO”
Not sure how much value is here. The price at the top of the ad reads $900, so the price may now be $900/each.

“Two Willy’s Jeeps good for parts on a rebuild. One is titled (1948 model) and one is not. Asking $1000 each.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
(10/03/2020) Looks in reasonable shape. Has a PTO powered Ramsey winch.
“1952 Willy’s Overland Jeep CJ3A – Unmodified, stock, running, driving, one family since new. Rare factory PTO Ramsey winch. Runs great. It is an unrestored driver. Definitely gets thumbs up all over town but is not perfect. We’ve had our fun and it’s time for something different.”
This is a mix of parts. The body is M-38, but the chassis is CJ, probably CJ-3A given the engine and radiator. The Windshield is obviously CJ-2A.
