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 .
Is that a starter switch or kill switch hanging off the windshield latch?

Curiously, the body has a battery box lid, but no fuel inlet or tool indents on either side. So, I’m not sure what body this is. Has a number of updates, but even more rust. Not sure if there’s much value left here. Also has the Warn hubs that we haven’t tagged with a model name yet.

“This is a 1946 Willys Army Jeep, was running when parked. Needs sheet metal work (as the pictures will show). So no cream puff. There is no drop-down tail gate on the back, solid across. I was told from the original owner (way back when) that originally it was a CJ2A, but he changed the windshield (straight across, no separation) & the front grille, it made it a CJ3A style.
Engine is a 289 Ford with headers, 3″ collectors & that runs at 3” to the input of the Thrush mufflers mounted on the sides. Also another unique feature is that the original ring & pinions have been changed out from the 5:38’s to a more reasonable 3:54 ratio, making for better hwy driving. I believe the 4 speed transmission is from a Ford Bronco with part-time 4WD engagement & Hi & Lo gearing, front lock-out hubs as well. Has rack & pinion steering (which should be lowered a few inches to align better). Had a full soft-top at one time (have the doors) but that fabric has dry-rotted long time ago, bikini top (not in good shape either) is what you see in the pictures.
No pics provided.

“1950 Jeep willys not running had some new parts and has v8 engine”
It’s rough.
https://jackson.craigslist.org/cto/d/willys-jeep-cj3a/6595402006.html
“What you are looking at is an original CJ3A 1950 Willys Jeep. The Jeep is very complete and the engine is not stuck. I removed the head and inspected the cylinders and valves and they looked great. Then i installed a new head gasket properly sequenced and torqued. I don’t think it would take much to get this Jeep back going. I’m selling this Jeep for someone that has a new house and decided he doesn’t have the time for it.”
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $1500.
Has potential.
“1950 cj3a Willys Jeep

Given the plow, I imagine there is some value here. Could be a Kelly CJ-5 hardtop.

“I am selling my 1951 willys project. It does not run or drive. It is a project and needs finishing. It started out life as a stock 51 and since has undergone some transformation. The frame has been lengthened 36 inches and boxed front to back. I built the entire tub from 1/8 inch plate steel. 3 inches wider than stock It has Dana 44 front and rear with 4.56 gear ratio and lockers front and rear. Axles were built and have not even had oil put in them. Front diff has passenger side drop. Leaf springs are brand new 2.5 inch wrangler soft ride lift springs. All hangers and shackles are brand new. Has 4 brand new shocks not mounted yet.
Gm 4.3 throttle body not wired yet, but has ecm and all wiring. It has a turbo 350 in it now but was just put in to get engine placed. It has 2 sets of nice adjustable bucket seats out of 2 mini coopers and a small bench seat out of a geo tracker in the rear. Brand new drilled and slotted brake rotors. Needs calipers, drive shafts, radiator, etc. I started to build this jeep so my whole family would fit, but all the kids decided they wanted four wheelers instead. Now I don’t have time to finish it. It is a really cool piece but it just needs the right guy/girl to give it the finish they want. Come take a look, I have lots of time, money and energy into this jeep. My loss is your gain.”
UPDATE: Still Available.

This is listed as a 1941 and has a replacement body, so it’s hard to tell from the pics what model this might have been.

Dash has been partly cut out. Seller has listed it as a 1948 CJ-3A.
https://cosprings.craigslist.org/cto/d/jeep-willys-cj3a-price-or/6624740879.html
“Mostly complete CJ3A. The tub is in decent shape although the dash has a large hole where the gauges used to be. The frame is straight with a saginaw manual gear box. It is set up for a buick V6. It does not include an engine but I do have the tranny, t-case, and drive shafts that came out of it, along with an extra set of axles. The floor is not rotted out and and the tub straight. I do have the windshield frame (not in picture). This is a great starter project for a restoration, hot rod, or rat rod.”

Could make a good restoration. The drain holes appear filled.

Tim spotted this deal of the day.
https://cnj.craigslist.org/cto/d/vintage-willys-cj-jeeps/6621402131.html
“Three classic Willys CJ Jeeps. First is a 1951 CJ3A with plow. Ran a couple of years ago and will run again. Title in hand. Next are two 1940s vintage CJ2As. One of those is complete and correct. Have NY registration. All have been outside for a long time and are rusty and rough. Save these from the crusher! A great collection for a project or for the valuable parts that are nearly impossible to find nowadays. $800 takes all. A steal! You move. Must take all three. Will not separate or part out.
Please provide your name and cell phone number if interested in a reply.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $9950.
This has drive train upgrades. It also had a later model jeep rim as an air filter cover. It looks like the rear ends of the body have been lengthened, yielding a slightly different body lines along the rear bottom of the jeep.
