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 .
Could be worth a look, if you can get there with all the snow!

“Clean, rust-free body and frame. No engine, trans, t-case. Dana 25/Dana 44. Some light body damage but nothing significant. Has fuel tank, drive lines, roll cage, steering, 5 original steel 16″ rims.”
May be a nice build. More pics would be great.

https://jackson.craigslist.org/cto/d/tyro-willys-jeep/6811442229.html
“This Jeep runs, drives, and stops great. The Jeep body does have some patch work and rust through in places, but as is you could daily drive and use it for fun or pleasure if you’d like. The frame looks great compared to most I see and very original. The engine runs smooth and strong and is the original 134L flathead 4. The original T90 3 speed transmission shifts smoothly. 4 wheel drive operates as it should. The top is in good shape overall. The button snaps are pulled loose in a few places.
I will be adding to this Jeep here and there while it’s listed. I plan to build the Jeep according to the body tub. Basically back into the M38 military style if it doesn’t sale soon.
This Jeep also has a clear title and can be driven on the road.
If your looking for an original classic Jeep that you can hop in and drive where ever you want then here you are An original early flat fender Willys Overland Jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Includes a trailer. It may be worth a look.

“2 Willys Jeeps for sale. This is a project that I would love to finish, but I’m moving and the cost to move them would be more than they are worth. The Jeeps are a CJ-2A and CJ 3B I believe as far as the motor transmission and transfer case go. I have a frame in good condition with title. My plan was to take parts from both of these to make one Jeep. The black one ran and drove when I got it, but the fuel pump dumped fuel all over the place. The fuel pump and starter were removed for repair and never put back on. The green one started, but would only run for a few seconds before shutting off. Both jeeps will need to be towed. I prefer to sell them together and with the frame.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $200.
Rough.
“Parting out an old Willy’s cj3a what you see is what I have body is shot hood is good but dented. Hasn’t run since the 80 s unknown condition of motor and trans but I’d say not good.there is no title”

“This is a 1953 Willys CJ3a. It has been a project of mine almost 10 year but it is time to sell. This vehicle is far from stock I have a throttle body injected 4.3 liter V6 installed with a rebuilt 4 speed SM 465 truck transmission attached to the dana 18 transfer case. The transfer case has been updated with the hardened intermediate shaft and modern conical beings. The brakes and clutch have been updated with Wilwood master cylinders and slave cylinder. New clutch as well. The front axle is a dana 44 with disk brakes, chromoly axle shafts and an ox locker. The rear axle is a dana 44 from a newer model CJ I installed to handle the larger 35 inch tires I’m running. There has been a power steering conversation completed, and a triangulated 4 link with fox racing shocks in the rear and both drivelines are custom for the application. The top, tub, and seats are all new along with a new fuel tank and steering column. There are a few things that need to be finished on it but I used it as my daily driver for several months and can be driven home. I have far more than my asking price put in this vehicle, but I am not sure how to place a value on it. 7000 is where I will start the negotiation on it, but reasonable offers will be considered.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(01/14/2019) Looks like a DJ-3A convertible body on a 4WD chassis.

(12/19/2018) Bill owns this CJ-3A, one he bought via eWillys back in 2009.
https://stockton.craigslist.org/cto/d/stockton-1951-willys-cj3a/6804098804.html
“All original 1951 Willys CJ3a. Current California registration through June 2019. 6 Volt electrical system with keyed ignition and floor foot starter. Ramsey X200 R PTO winch. The person I bought the jeep from in 2009 said the winch worked but I’ve never tried it. Since I’ve owned the jeep, I’ve had the water pump rebuilt the radiator boiled out/tested and replaced the thermostat. I’ve replaced the fuel sending unit and now have a functioning fuel gauge. All gauges work. Front passenger mounted heater works.
No windshield wipers nor do they work. No bikini top but i do have a set of brackets but they are not original. The tires should have been replaced 20 or 30 years ago. Drivers rear tire will loose air but it takes a few weeks before it gets flat. All others hold air. This is a running Willys CJ3a but it I only feel comfortable going about 35 mph. You’ll need a trailer to get it home. It has a tow bar that accepts a 2 inch ball hitch but i’ve never used it. Again, you’ll need a trailer to get it home. I replaced the battery last month and it starts right up.”
Seems to have potential. The winch is extra.

“The starters gone out, will need to be rebuilt unless you can find one. I just don’t have the time to put anymore work into her. Had the starter rebuilt last year and I’m just not in it with insuring a vehicle to drive around my neighborhood now that I don’t live in the country, Really fun machine to drive around and I’ve had great memory’s in this little Willy’s but it’s time for a toy that’s a little newer. Top speed is about 45 miles an hour, 4x4s and lockers work just fine, it’s been sitting since November.”
