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 .

Brad is helping a friend sell this jeep. You can contact him at bgates8848@aol.com.
“I am helping a friend sell his 1952 CJ-3A. Major problem is the engine has no compression on #2 and #3 cylinder. Was running up until that time approx. 3 months ago. Brakes have been rebuilt, some steering parts replaced, new windshield glass, new 12 volt battery. NEW NDT tires and tubes, wheels blasted and painted. Body tub is in fair but solid condition. Seats appear to be uncut original, with replacement upholstery. Cloth wiring is frayed/missing and the complete wiring harness should be repaired/replaced. Fuel tank is missing the sender unit.”

“My interest have changed and I am going to part with all the Willys vehicles I have. Here is the list:
1959 Willys Jeep 4×4 pickup truck. This truck was stripped down to the bare frame. The cab was replaced with a cab from a 1956. All new braking system. New fuel system. 226 Hurricane six cylinder engine with a new Weber progressive two barrel carb. Three speed main trans two speed transfer case. Electric wipers. Four new Mastercraft tires. The truck drives nice. The body work remains to be done. The bed is junk but it does have the W/O tail gate. Clean Ohio title.
1950 Willys wagon. This is a two wheel drive car. It is from Arizona and is a rust free car except under the rubber mats where the floor is rusted. The four cylinder engine is locked up. Three on the tree with overdrive. The car is nearly 100 percent original and nearly 100 percent complete. Clean Ohio title.

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $900.

It’s a project.

Maybe someone can use this?
“Came off late 1942 GPW. Tub has several solid straight panels. Dash, cowl and firewall all straight but dash has some extra holes. Fenders need inner support brackets and some minor patching but appear straight and never dented. Hood also straight. Glove box door is straight and has left and right info plates but they were painted over. Glove Box is solid and straight and button appears original but is frozen up.”

I snatched this awesome Kelly hardtop brochure off of eBay for a good price. It includes information on the Kelly Safari hardtop. What I like is that the brochure also documents the models numbers.
Also included was the price list (one that includes two different types of dispatchers) and an original order envelope. I also didn’t know that Kelly interacted with Kayline tops at one point. Based on a Kayline brochure, it appears that Kayline handled the territory west of the Mississippi, while Kelly sold Kayline tops east of the Mississippi.
This rebuilder needs some help with his/her jeep.
“I have a 1952 CJ3A I’ve been working on for several years and I’m looking for someone to help me put it all back together. I have the fiberglass tub back from paint, chassis powder coated and installed, new tires, overhauled engine.
What remains:
Permanently mount the body onto the frame
Convert the 6V to a 12V (new conversion kit and all parts are already ordered and ready to install)
Run the fuel lines
Install the electrical components and hook up all new instruments (holes already cut)
Mount seats into frame
A few other odds and ends 🙂
As restoration projects go, this one is really close to completion but I need some help; the last and final push, to get it back on the road.
I have done or paid to have done (i.e. paint, engine OH) and it has taken me a long time. Ready to finish it before the cold weather arrives. I am 100 lbs and I lack the physical strength to shift the tub into proper place on my own, and I am new to this area. I am looking for someone that can help me with the remaining restoration project. Flexible hours, at my location in Grants Pass where I have the vehicle stored. I can pay you hourly or salary, depending on your skill level and how you prefer to work. Please have knowledge of older vehicles, be competent at what you do, honest, have integrity and preferably a love of old Willys and / or fond of vintage aircraft (I installed over 2,000 rivets into the body of this tub 🙂 )”

(05/09/2017) Craig spotted this nice looking VEC.
“1946 Willys CJ-2A very early civilian column shift VIN 28537
CJ2A
VEC Jeep
Civilian model, not military MB WWII Jeep
Completely rebuilt in 2010, including new body (tub costs over $2000 alone without hood, front fenders, grill, windshield frame, etc.), rebuilt engine (new pistons, rings, water pump, oil pump, etc.), transmission, transfer case and axles – like getting a “new” 1946 Jeep for much less than it would cost you to buy the parts and pay the labor to build it – and, to top it off, it is a coveted VEC model, too! Nice enough that you could run it in a parade or take it to a show, but not so nice that you’d be afraid of using it!
94,703 miles.
Pennsylvania antique registration.”
https://philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/d/1946-willys-cj-2a-very-early/6300650694.html
It includes a Warn OD.
“Abandoned project. Body off restoration, many new parts. V8 chevy, warn overdrive and hubs, positraction rear. Vehicle not running”
https://newjersey.craigslist.org/cto/d/1957-jeep-fc150-kaiser/6291623896.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
Looks good. Could use more pics.
“Very straight Willy’s jeep
Drives like new all original body
Tires brakes and everything else tight
Used most of its life in parades
Will send more pictures of you request”
Looks in good shape.
“This Jeep is a real vintage gem. It’s been in my family for more that 40 years and it breaks my heart to have to sell it. My father did a complete frame off rebuild and fixed or replaced everything about 20 years ago, keeping it as original as possible. It has been garaged ever since. Mileage is is around 20,000, body and interior are clean, engine runs well. Great fun to drive offroad and will go up to 40mph on road. Manual steering and transmission is 3 speed with manual high & low transfer case and 2 or 4 wheel drive. Front windshield folds down, we have added 2 removable extra seats in the back and safety rails for back seat passengers.
All it needs is tires and TLC.”

Pics were provided in this ad, but the jeep was accidentally listed as a 1953 (obviously incorrect given the speedo). So, I suspect the pics are for the 1961 ad here: https://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/cto/d/1961-willys-cj3b-4×4/6292040762.html

Nick’s got this CJ-3A up for sale.
“I have a clear title. This Willys Jeep CJ3A is a great weekend today. It runs, drives, and even stops. It shifts smooth, rides decent, and is a Jeep that you can hop in and enjoy today.
Fitted with a front PTO winch that is fully functional. Engine does not smoke and has good oil pressure.
This Jeep came from Wyoming and thus the body is in pretty decent shape. There are some repairs on the drivers side and on the hood, but overall not a rust bucket. A couple small spots on the floor. It still has the original drain holes on the sides of the tub.”
The floors have been patched. Sounds like it runs and drives.
