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 .
I think those are doors on the hood rather than a hood mod. The jeep looks good.
“must sell! runs perfect. all restored. new top and doors. 3 speed. worth 15000. other info or details call or text at 701-238-7735 thanks ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
For the condition, this looks like a good price. There just aren’t that many DJ-3As in good condition for sale out there.
“Pretty clean 1962 Jeep flat fender, 2 wheel drive, has top, runs and is driveable. This is NOT your normal rust bucket, 99% rust free!! Please call my brother, he is the owner.”
This was for sale on eBay in 2010. Check out the work done to restore this. Particularly interesting is the body’s sub frame. I like the vintage looking tail lights — they 1950 Pontiac repop lights.
“I started out with a total scrap basket case. The entire Jeep is metal! Repop body panels are: front fenders, grille, hood, windshield frame(CJ3A) and the tailgate. I built the majority of the body tub which included all new floor braces made out of rectangular tubing. This body tub is far superior in strength when compared to the original design. Its not perfectly straight, i wanted it to look more original as they weren’t exactly perfect either. The only parts left on this Jeep when it left Toledo back in ’47 are the headlight buckets, the cowl section and the vin tag. I bought a repop passenger seat frame, the drivers seat is an original M38 seat frame(NOS). There is a custom made gas tank under the driver seat(approx. 12gal.) and a storage compartment under the passenger seat(lockable). All new Autometer gauges are used. The entire steering column including the steering wheel are brand new, the steering box housing is the original with all new guts and pitman arm. Hsa its original horn too! This Jeep includes the Best Top as seen in the pics and comes with the doors too. There is a small aftermarket heater on the passenger side. The radiator is a repop of the original. 1950 repop Pontiac taillights are used. The Jeep looks like it is white, it was supposed to be gray, but came out the colour you see in the pics, an off white that looks kinda gray, depending on the lighting.
I sourced a near mint ’48 CJ3A along with a ’79 DJ5 front axle that used to be in a postal Jeep, it has a ’78 CJ5 AMC Model 20 rear axle with 3:07 posi and aftermarket one piece axle shafts. Four repop leaf springs and gas shocks at all corners. The frame and axles were cleaned up and painted with POR15 as was the bottom of the body tub. The interior and inside the wheelwells are coated with DIY Hippo Liner. It has a set of 4 1/2ton Dodge steel rims with the centres trimmed out to fit the hubs along with a set of new baby moons. This Jeep also comes with an original implement hitch as seen in the pics. I made the custom front bumper, it looks original but was bent up out of 1/4″ flat plate to give the front frame horns more strength. This Jeep is a 2 wheel drive only.
This Jeep has a VERY RARE 1962 Chevy II 153ci 4 cyl engine!!! This block is date coded ’61, so its an early production one. The block has been bored .040, has N.O.S. Jahns domed racing pistions from the 1960’s yielding 11:1 compression, the head has been reworked to accomodate the biggest valves it can handle, it has a steel crank, the wildest hydraulic Competition Cams camshaft available for the street, custom made header and a custom made intake manifold with a Rochester 2bbl off a 283 on it sporting a tri-power top on the carb. The entire engine has been rebuilt and runs very strong and sounds great! Doesn’t sound like a rice burner 4 banger, it’ll idle at 550rpm and sounds hairy! Like the saying goes: No replacement for displacement! The transmission is a 1960 SM-420 bull low 4-speed. It leaks fluid and could stand a rebuild, it still works pretty good..”
Let’s start with some old pics of this build and work forward ….
Follow this link for more pics ….
UPDATE: The seller contacted me and wanted to update the listing. This CJ-3B has an OD rather than a PTO. Also, the seller has a good deal of images here. Finally, the engine is out, so it doesn’t run. This looks like it would make a great stock restoration projection.
(07/28/2010) “I purchased this jeep about 5 years ago with the intention of restoring it but have not had the time to do so. It has an overhead valve 4 cylander motor and lots of parts. It also an Overdrive.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2750.
This looks in good shape.

Nice Slattie!
“1942 Willy’s MB slat grill #109964. DOD is: 1-8-42. A 3-year frame off restoration was completed in June 2007. This slat grill is used mostly for veteran related events, parades and car shows. This is a popular and a favorite vehicle at shows and has won several awards. It has been driven less than 1000 miles total. I drive the jeep at least once every 2-3 weeks and keep it in good working condition.
The original tub was not useable but much care was taken to detail to make the new one as accurate as possible. The slat has many of the original parts such as: brass data plates, frame, grill, split seam front seats, original back seat, steering wheel, column and steering box, short bodied distributor, “steel” marked pintal, “tiger eye” lenses, solid disc wheels, light assemblies, square shouldered footman loops, brake and clutch pedals, filterette, extinguisher and brackets, many TR20/EC/A/AA bolts and the list goes on ….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6400.
(05/27/2009) “1947 Willys Jeep. Excellant Original Condition! Well maintained inside and out. Runs and looks great. Top is only 1 yr old. Please call 360-293-8760. No Dealers! Will not respond to e-mails without a valid phone number provided. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2400.
Given the winch, top, full cage, spring reversal and extra parts, this looks like a very good price.
“1949 Willys Jeep CJ-2A – Chevy 350 V-8, GM Auto Trans and Transfer Case, new battery, Chevy steering, master cylinder on firewall, upgraded radiator, transmission cooler, full roll cage, bucket seats, B&M shifter, nice windshield and Best Top newer top. Body is in very good shape. Heavy duty front bumper with a working Warn upright winch (8,000 lbs. power in and manual out), and roller fairlead. Front shackle reversal, chrome wheels mounted with WildCat 31×10.50 tires. It still has the stock front and rear differentials and stock brakes…BUT…this Jeep comes with a 48 Willys Jeep that has a DANA 44 front end and a power steering box mounted in the frame with a damaged tub. In addition, you will also get a windshield frame, right front fender, grill with lights, radiator, gas tank, transmission and transfer case, and hood, I have also collected a CB radio and antennae, tach, turn signal unit, a power boost master cylinder off of a Wrangler, almost new bikini top, half doors, a back seat and side steps. Clear and clean title in hand, $2,400 or (maybe) partial cash and firearms. Jeep is located in downtown Myrtle Creek area, exit 108 on I-5.”
This looks very good.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
HOG spotted this one. I looked back in my posts for this CJ-3B, but it doesn’t appear to be there. I’m sure it’s all good, but just in case … the seller buys the jeep for the dad from cali and now is selling for the mom, except the title was never transferred from cali, so wouldn’t the seller actually be selling it for himself as the signer on the old title? Finally, the serial number of #4J37357 is incorrect, so I’d investigate that as well.
“I bought this Jeep for my Dad back in March 2010…He has since past away and I have no need of another Jeep, So I am selling this for my Mom. It is a 1954 Willys CJ3B that has had some modifications done to it over the years…. There is nothing wrong with the jeep it runs and drives fine…..Someone has taken chrome diamond plate and made a dash for it with all the gagues and added a Tachometer……It has a Tow bar and high lift jack that come with it……..If you are going to drive it on the highway the tires will need to be balanced and at some point it will need tires…The motor is a 260 Ford V8 with dual exhaust and starts and runs great…..Brakes all work good…..Transmission and overdrive shift fine…..All gauges work…Has a complete soft top with doors and a roll bar…… Seats are not torn but do not match in color…..The front end and steering box are out of a later mdel Jeep and all the 4 wheel drive works fine….It has two gas tanks,but only one is hooked up….There is no rust on the Jeep the floors panels are solid and rust free has a few minor digs in the hood and body, but nothig major……Tail gate has been replaced with solid panel…..Someone has added leafs to the spring and a set of Air shocks in the rear……I have a low reserve on this Jeep in order to sell quickly,it’s worth much more than the reserve price….It has a clear transferable California title………Ask questions before bidding…Sold as is…I can store for 6 months with payment made in full…. If you are serious about it I can e-mail more pictures.”
Sure there are a few dings and dents, but it looks solid and the top appears fine. You’ll just need to get a title.
“No title for this jeep just bill of sale . 1969 model with v6 engine. Frame is solid. 4 wheel drive works. all original. some dents and dings. Paint not great. 33k miles is shown on the odometer, not sure how acurate it is. 4 speed manual trnamsion. Call (516)807-1464 for inquiries.”

This looks like a fantastic price!
“Rare – 1954 Willys Jeep CJ3B High Hood 4X4 – Stock 4 cylinder engine 6 Volts. Runs good. Comes with Bestop soft top with removabable doors, roll bar and extra set of tires and rims. $2500”

This looks good.
“1946 Willys; 1964 – 327 chevy 300 HP Motor; Blue – Rollbar; This thing is quick and powerful!!! $2700 Cash”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
It’s got a nice top and runs, but has some rust issues.
“1952 willys, all orignal except for 12 volt system. has the 134 f head 4 banger that I have running it will drive around, but the brakes need to be worked on. there is bad rust on the passenger and drivers side floor boards. outside the body is in ok shape a dent here and there. 2 of the tires leak down every day or so from dryrot. bottom line is it needs work to drive. call with questions I don’t reply to emails”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
I’m not sure I’ve seen that model of soft top. The side windows angle and the back area (can’t tell if there is a back or not) is pretty wide open. This looks like it a ‘lefty’ to me.
“Up for sale is this 1948 CJ5,4X4 willys jeep, as you see the Jeep is clean and has been in the family many yrs, it has been well taken care of and runs great, new tires and wheels, very dependable, it is a daily driver, with a clear title…. I will take 4000 OBO………… hit me up if you interested”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This looks like a reasonable price, though I see a bit of rust along parts of the body. The top looks in very good condition. I can’t see if this is a VEC or not.
“Theis is a 1946 Willys Jeep with a 3 speed on the column. It is very rare! It has the original 4-cylinder flat head motor in it. The motor has been rebuilt and the transmission and transfer care have been checked. A new clutch was put in when the motor was rebuilt. It has new exaust and it also has new front and rear end.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800
The body looks like it might be a replacement body or this is really a M-38.
“47 Jeep, mostly stock, Pinto 4cyl, Runs good but could use some brake work. Has a new top and good doors. 33″ swampers.”
UPDATE: Was $14,500. **SOLD**
“51 CJ3A Willys Jeep, PTO Winch, Warn Overdrive, Mechanically Great.”
Brett found this unusually painted CJ-3A. I can’t tell if this is a well executed canvas of trees and limbs or an arbitrary splashing of paint.
“
