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 could be worth a look.

“I believe it is a 53 no title and no motor it isn’t pretty but it is ready to go don’t want to sell but too many projects and not enough room Priced to sell $1250 Location baker city Oregon”
I’m not sure if this is intended as a drag racer to just a fancy road rig.

“1951 willys jeep, sbc engine, don’t know anything about what’s inside it. But it sounds and runs really good. 2sp power glide with shift kit and 2000 stalh converter. 10 bolt posi rear, unknown gear ratio. Was built to show, runs great and will do 70 mph on highway. If you’re looking for something different that wins at pretty much every show it goes to then this is the one. 22,000 obo. May consider trades.”
UPDATE: **Sold**
Nick is selling his very rare Valentine-built CJ-3A APUs. He’s done a great job of uncovering the history of these Valentine APUs and sharing it with the jeep community.”
“These Willy-Overland CJ-3A utility vehicles were converted into auxiliary power units for the US Navy in the 1950s by the Valentine Welder & Manufacturing Company for use in starting jet aircraft engines. Both vehicles are finished in yellow and equipped with a seven-slot grille, flat front fenders, a single-seat operator’s station, and power take-off equipment. The pair includes an NC-2 mobile power plant that was designed for use on aircraft carriers and modified with rear-wheel steering, front-wheel drive, and a rear equipment platform. The other truck is one of approximately 75 such units modified into an NA-4 ground-based mobile APU and is fitted with a replacement Willys F-134 inline-four paired with a three-speed manual transmission. The engine has been removed from the NC-2 and is included in the sale.”
Unclear how much value is here. It has a dilapidated Porter & Reed hardtop.

“Selling my 1950 Jeep CJ 3A. I was going to put an engine in it and drive it as is but have lost interest in the project. The frame is very solid. No rusted through spots or repairs to it. The body is very rough. Im sure someone could fix it. I was just going to leave it as is. Sold with Bill of sale”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(01/12/2024) The red CJ-2A looks in reasonable shape. Note the hubs on the blue jeep (last pic). I thought those might be McCain hubs, but they are not.

“I have 3 willy jeeps. 1 is in really good condition, runs good. Converted to 12 volt, brake and tail lights hooked up, started redoing it but never finished. Other 2 for parts. Running one has the extended box that can go on back”

“1949 Jeep with spare parts Does not run, no engine, springs, drive shafts, rolling jeep. Can be used as parts or to put back together, have Transmission and transfer case that can be rebuilt with newer synchros and small bearing kits included, not all new bearings are there. This Jeep is not put together. Pictures show it will roll, I have a Nevada Title that goes with it, but not in my name, it was signed by the previous owner. Some items will be removed and Jeep will be ready to load on a trailer to take after payment. Willing to take reasonable offers in person”
The body is a CJ-2A, so unclear if this is a ’49 3A chassis.

“1952 WILLYS JEEP Aftermarket F-Hurricane motor Great running Jeep that you’re going to create unforgettable memories in. This baby tows up to 1500 lbs. Everything works! So much fun to drive!”
This is a recent build that has an overheating issue. Maybe a shroud and/or a fan spacer would help.

“50’s Jeep come with extra tires and wheels turns over freely gets fuel but won’t fire. Supposedly ran couple years ago. Comes with the pto winch and top. Need gone asap”
This looks in solid shape. This has been available for a while, but I am only just seeing it in FB.

“1951 Willy’s. Nice cab, heater, seats. Runs well..ready for hunting season”
This 3A has an interesting hood flap addition. It’s got some springs on the underside to hold it closed (I think). It’s unclear to me what it accomplishes? The seller does not want to ship it.

“1951 Jeep cj3a flat fender. 350 V8 motor. Runs good. Four-speed transmission. High and low range. Four wheel drive. Needs a little TLC. No tailgate. $4,500 OBO. Located in Grand Junction colorado. Will not ship.”
Not a whole lot of value here. Appears to have some Cutlas hubs.

“1949 cj3a. Chevy 350 (38,000 miles) Turbo 400 transmiss Runs and drives”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
This has a 2A body, so the date and model may be incorrect. The wagon/truck/jeepster front clip fits pretty well.

“1950 CJ 3A Buick V6, has manual trans with 2 stick transfer case Asking $2,500 Has clear title”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5500.
This looks solid. It’s got a bench seat in the front (as far as bench seats go in a jeep, it looks somewhat practical).

“1953 Cj3a. This little jeep is ready to go. Runs, drives, and stops great. Been on many a trips around town. All lights and gauges work as does the high and low range 4×4. F head engine swap and got a new head gasket last year. Tags current and clear title. Drive it home but don’t expect to go much faster than 50. Asking 6k”
The half cab looks home made to me. There’s a large dent in the driver’s side fender. I can’t tell if the floors have patches or if there is some garbage on the floor.
