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 .
The Sears branded Dualmatic hubs might be the most valuable part of the jeep.

“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.”
My newest cutting board arrived today, thanks to an eWillys reader named Tom Gallagher. His boards earned a great write-up in the National Barbecue news a few years ago. He carefully selects the wood and makes each one himself.
This is a great addition to my growing collection of cutting boards (I like kitchen stuff as much as jeep stuff), so many thanks to Tom for sending it! You can learn more about his boards at his website: http://pigcuttingboard.com/
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.

The Truck ad is from the September 8, 1955, issue of the Heppner Gazette-Times, while the wagon is from the October 27, 1955, issue. I guess the 1955 fall advertising theme was “All-Purpose”.
This will be auctioned in August.

“Looking to trade my 1953 CJ3B. It has a 283 V8 with a 2 spd powerglide transmission. I do have the 4wd tranny that came with it and the front driveshaft. Was tagged and inspected last year but have not redone it since putting the auto transmission in. It still needs some tinkering with the linkage to be completely ready. It has a little trouble shifting into park. Starts drives and stops. Could use a tune up. It will need a little patchwork done around the shifter. I also have a brand new soft top and doors that have never been installed. Would like to trade for and older car or truck or a rat rod. Doesn’t have to be completely finished I don’t mind doing a little work on something that catches my eye. Clear title in my name.”
UPDATE: Still Available.

Includes a fiberglass body.
“We are selling our 1953 Willys CJ3A. This was to be last falls project that we just have not had time to finish. There are lots of parts here to complete it. When we got the Jeep we removed the body, cleaned up the frame and then started on the drive train. We got a 1995 S10, pulled the 4.3 TBI and wiring harness out. Put a new timing chain, timing cover, oil pan and valve cover gaskets on it and a new water pump. Next we rebuilt the T90 transmission and Dana 18 Transfer Case. Got the GM bell housing with Jeep adapter and new clutch kit. We got all of that back down into the frame. We have two bodies for this project. We have all the original Willys steel parts. Plus a fiberglass Tub, Fenders, Grill and Hood. This already has the saginaw steering box upgrade done to it. Plus some short back seats, heater box, soft top and soft doors. Unfortunately, we just have too many things going on to finish it right now. “

This ad was featured in Oregon’s Hepnner Gazette Times newspaper on March 5, 1953.

This looks to be a good price. It has a WWII engine (or at least head) and a rare JC Whitney (uncut?) 3B body.
“I have a 1946 Willys CJ2A jeep running gear with an after market fiber glass body made by JC Whitney. The serial number for this jeep is 31612 in case you want to research the model. The engine is a 4 cylinder flat head and the transmission is a manual. The engine was gone through and was honed and align bored but never started. This is a project with lots of potential. I have a good title, would like $1000 or best offer.”
