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 .

This could be a good price.

It’s missing a bow holder in the front, but looks in good shape. Has a few updates.

The transmission has been refreshed, The transfer case has been refreshed. The T-18 transfer case is equipped with a Saturn overdrive unit (this results in an additional gear on the highway, and allows the operator to split gears in all ranges).
The brakes have been upgrade to include all new brake lines and hoses, a dual master cylinder, front disk brakes and 11″ by 2″ Rear drum brakes (a major improvement over the original 9′ by 1″ drum brakes).

(11/01/2017) Engine needs rebuilding.
“FOR SALE: 1949 Willys Jeep CJ3A. I have owned this Jeep for 20+ years and hate to sell it, but life dictates otherwise. I restored it with my father in high school and drove it around town for 2-3 years. College, marriage, children, mortgage, and other responsibilities resulted in the jeep sitting in the barn for 17 years. The engine and ancillary components have been partially disassembled. Tires are dry rotting. Master cylinder needs rebuilding. Transmission needs a new first gear. Other than a few minor issues, this Jeep is solid and rust free. It is a complete Jeep and the parts needing attention are all in great shape and can be re-built. Engine needs rebuilding. Head gasket was blown when it was parked.”

“This old jeep is an older restoration and has been modified to make a better driver. It has a 350 V8, auto transmission, Ford 9″ rearend. Ive installed a new wiring harness, fuse panel, gauges, and a new poly fuel tank and sending unit. It does have some rock chips from driving it around. The top is in excellent condition and is white. The side curtains are not excellent, but they work. They are black, (perhaps original)? It Does not have a hitch on it. It’s just parked in front of my old camper.”
It’s a nice looking truck. It has some updates.

Either the heat melted the grille and the building, causing both to lean forward OR the photo is skewed (might be a photo of a photo).
