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 $3000
(01/15/2017) I don’t know why the front of the hardtop looks so old? The top could be an early Meyer, but I couldn’t say for sure. Doors look Meyer.

“1953 Willy CJ3 Jeep runs good has a rebuilt radiator, good tires, has a spare engine that was given to a school by the National Guard and was used for students to tear down and put together. It was disassembled by a mechanic and found it has no problems and was put back together—it’s basically a new engine that has never been run, has a tow bar, the Jeep will need brakes and some tender loving care but would be a good project”

View all the information on eBay
“This Willys CJ-3A is in fair condition. I was in the process of fully restoring it and stripped it down to the frame and had the Borg-Warner T-15 transmission, Dana Spicer C-18 transfer case, E-brake, and aftermarket Warn overdrive rebuilt by a company who rebuilds transmissions for Kaiser Willys. I also bought a used 1996 throttle body injected 4.3L Vortec engine and PCM for it, and have the bellhousing for it. The engine that was in it when I bought it is a 1975 Buick 3.8L it is in rough condition but comes with the vehicle. I have the 1951 Washington collectors plate, canvas top, canvas doors, original and extra seats for the vehicle as well.”

Travis spotted this project.
https://worcester.craigslist.org/cto/d/cj-3a-jeep-willys/6531339213.html
“This jeep is fresh from storage and will make a great summer project. It was last registered in 1987, I have owned it for several years and never got around to repairing it to its former glory. The frame is in really good condition. The body is starting to show its age so it has some rust patches, if you know these Jeeps you know that they were originally mounted with wood therefore the metal around the wood rusted from the moisture. I think the original color was red, but when I got it it had been painted blue. It was sold to me on bill of sale only. It is missing the engine. But it has the transmission and both axles.”
I spotted this CJ-3A the other day. I didn’t ask about the price. I *think* it had an l-head if I remember correctly. It does have the serial number tag. I was in the middle of taking pics when a guy came up and asked me questions about it, which distracted me.
