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 .
Seller believes this was in the military. Maybe it has a gov plate.
“1951 Willys jeep needs finished has never had a title registered due to being used in military”

This one is rough.
“Rescue me!!! This old jeep needs brought back to life. If you have the knowledge,time & money. All parts there. Needs serious body work. Flat 4 motor. Was just informed motor does run. Do not want to scrap it.”
https://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/cto/6167881606.html
Includes a variety of parts.
“This has been on this farm for 40 years and been my toy and tractor. I can no longer give it the attention that it needs. I started to fix it up a year ago but lost my health. I put new Edelbrock carburetor, high output coil and new electronic distributor. It’s got a late model 3 speed transmission full sincro. The tub is in rough shape but running gear is good. It’s got a 44 rear end and upgraded front to handle the 327 cubic in stock engine. I have a fair amount of parts that go with it. A bunch of chevy parts, terra tires and extra wheels plus a lot of other things I will throw in. 2 Holley carborators extra Transmission and other auto parts.
I would like to make this a package deal because because I’m downsizing for a move.
I’m asking $3000 boo for a lot of stuff. I’ll try to show pictures but not sure I will get it all.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Probably has an F-head.
“Classic Jeep Willys in running condition but does need some engine work. Contact for more details.”
This appears to come with a Warn OD, which the seller seems to mistake for a PTO. I can’t identify the hubs, but they might be a set of Cutlass Bulldogs. The rear of the hardtop looks similar to a Porter & Reed top, but the rest doesn’t quite fit it.
“1953 Willys 1/4 ton Jeep C3Jb with V8 265 engine. Needs windshield. Engine will run. has transmission with PTO. Does not have pto shaft. Rare Jeep. Does not have title.”
https://fredericksburg.craigslist.org/cto/6156627858.html

Cage looks good. Some value here.
“1949 Willys Jeep. No engine or trans. Rough, but restorable. Lots of extra parts. WA title. $750 obo, will consider trades. Please come look at it rather than text for info, if possible.”
Listed as a 1951 body, it might be an aftermarket body. It’s got the solid back and a civilian floor, but lacks a gas tank outlet on the rear, which means it isn’t a DJ-3A convertible or surrey body. It might be an aftermarket body.

(05/01/2017) Looks like the vacuum hoses aren’t quite hooked up to the wipers.

Seller describes this as a “Korean War original”, but it is clearly civilian.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $2500.
(04/15/2017) Ran six months ago. Listed as a ’48, but looks like a CJ-3A.

“1949 Willys CJ3A. Survivor.Very early production three digit serial number in the 300 range. Axle build dates 11-48. Windshield date 12-48. Probably built late 1948 or early 1949. Nice frame and very solid body. A couple of rust areas in the tool box,under the fuel tank, and small spots on the front floors but should be able to fix without pulling the body but we use it as is. Very good 6.00-16 size NDT tires. Original Harrison heater works. Shows 24,000 miles but unsure if they are original. Have clear NC title. New or rebuilt parts include:
Rebuilt replacement engine with new pistons,rings,bearings,gaskets,oil lines,crank turned.
New clutch,pressure plate,throw out bearing.
New fuel tank,fuel pump,fuel lines,rebuilt carb.
New master cyl,wheel cyls,shoes,lines.
New water pump,hoses.
New rear hubs.
New wiring harness,voltage reg,rebuilt starter,rebuilt generator.
Other misc parts including a bed extender, two T-90 transmissions, two model 18 transfer cases, and a Beachwood canvas top with door frames. Canvas has some dry rot but could be used as a pattern or used as a barn find look.
Has some original patina paint.
Transmission scrapes in 2nd gear and will need new syncronizer blocking rings and seals.
A Very nice early original Willys CJ3A Jeep that could be used as an original survivor or restored.”
