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 .
UPDATE: Still Available. Anyone tried contacting the seller recently? Is this real?

“1949 Willys Jeep, CJ3A, runs and drives good, new brakes and suspension, 12V, key start, rebuilt engine.”
The body is in poor condition.
“Hi, This is a 1949 Willys Jeep CJ2 (a)? It has between 75 and 76000 miles. It is in running condition and seems to run fairly well but does smoke. The tires are very good. The frame seems to be solid what I saw but has surface rust. The body is not in the greatest condition. It looks like a previous owner may have done some restoration work since it does have body filler on the body. The fuel tank has been cleaned and coated on the inside. The 4×4 works as well. I did some work on the brakes and they work but think there may be air in the lines since they have to be pumped several times before they work. This also comes with an aluminum top. If you have any questions feel free to call. thanks”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200
This looks like a good price.
“Great jeep runs great wanting to sell for $2200 or best offer. If interested or have questions please”
UPDATE: This was on eBay in March of 2011 and for sale in Pennsylvania. It has different tires now.
“1963 Willys Dispatcher DJ3A 2dr delivery car with 2-wheel drive, sliding side doors, lift up tail gate, very cute and has many applications. We were going to do a restoration on this and just don’t have time. This Jeep is pretty rough but comes with a set of new floor boards and we will accept any reasonable offer. The Jeep does not run, but the engine is not stuck. Both rear springs are bad and it currently has no brakes.upholstery needs done as well. We have the original chrome bumper and guards for the front (needs plating). It will need to be trailered for sure. <P> One of these in fully restored condition sold for $18000 on ebay last year. SO, if you want an ambitious restoration project with an upside, here it is. Call Bob for a good deal on this little, rare Willys.”
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220913603494
These are pictures from the previous auction. At the very least, the DJ-3A no longer has a license plate.
Runs and drives. How about that exhaust pipe.
“Jeep runs and drives. Stock 6 volt elec system. Body has lots of rust but not falling off the frame. The frame is straight, rust free, unmolested with no cracks or welds.

“I have for sale a 1951 willys M38 Flatfender jeep. For sale is one of the most rare flatfender jeeps made, it is a true M38 military version, not a CJ title says M38.

This one has a very solid body with very minor and easy to fix rust, runs great, has a 4 cyl and 4 speed trans out of a later military jeep. has the original military axles with 5.38 gears. new guages (tach, volts, fuel, engine temp, oil pressure) mounted in the factory location. Has a rattle can OD green paint job, mile marker front lockout hubs, 235/85/16 tires but have a set of original military tires that go with it. Also have a metal top/cab that is available seperately. motor starts on the first crank but air/fuel ratio needs adjusted but runs good overall, needs a rear wheel cylinder but before that blew the brakes were strong. really a nice rare jeep for the money, would make a good restorer. please txt 712-263-zero-three-five-seven or reply to the ad with any questions. Thanks for looking. price is firm I dont need to sell it just want more room ”

“You are bidding on a frame off completely restored Willys CJ3b. This jeep is a 1954 CJ3b that was totally stripped down to the bare frame. The frame was media blasted,primed and the painted in semi gloss black. NOS front and rear springs were the added along with totally reconditioned front and rear axles and differentials. All seals and bearings were replaced. The brake system was rebuilt with new wheel cylinders, new master cylinder and new brake shoes. All new brake lines were authentically reproduced and routed. The front kingpins were replaced with NOS units. New rirs were primed and painted in original air force “strata” blue paint and new military non-directional tires installed.
The engine, transfer case and transmission were totally disassembled and proffesionally rebuilt by “Army Jeep Parts” of Levittown Pa. An Nos distributor, rebuilt starter and generator were installed as well as a new water pump. A new fuel pump and new gas tank were installed. A beautifully accurate reproduction wiring harness was installed on the vehicle and is authentic in ever detail. The air cleaner was restored inside and out and the carb was totally rebuilt. The radiator is an NOS unit. All hoses were replaced and an original working Harrison heater was restored and installed. The front sheet metal, hood and grill are original units and the windshield is an NOS unit with replacement glass. The body tub was too far gone to repair so a new tub was purchased. This tub was extensively reworked to be as accurate as possible. An original dash was welded in place and the transmission hump altered to be more accurate. All top mounts and brackets are original and were welded to the body. The underside of the body and floor were covered with “Linex” for ultimate protection and sound insulation. All instruments are NOS units as are the interior lamps and knobs. The jeep has a new canvas “Beechwood” top and cushions. The top has a removable rear panel as the original and is stenciled for Offutt Air Force base. The doors and top are easily removable. The jeep is painted to represent a “SAC” line jeep of the sixties. All correct data plates and stenciling have been applied.
The jeep runs and drives like a new vehicle and has no known issues. The restoration was finished one year ago and it has been driven about 50 miles since completed miles. Everything works!!! The only known issue is the heater is noisy and should be lubricated. All fasteners are stainless steel and there is absolutely no rust! The underside is as clean as the top.
This jeep was featured on the cover of the CJ3b web page.”
This looks good.

” I am selling my 1948 CJ2A Jeep. It has a NEW 4cyc Old Stock engine! This particular engine is still braking in and has under 100 miles on it… I also said that it has approximately 55,000 miles, I am estimating this as I am not sure if the odomitor is correct… this is truly non-significant, but I did want to bring this too your attention… This engine is in PERFECT shape…Body is in great shape and does (as far as I and my mechanic can see) NOT have any major rust issues…I have put a new Electric Fuel Pump, New Battery, New Tires, New Brakes… it has been converted to12 volts with alternator.
Original CJ2A Split Windshield too, nothing seen as reproduction concerning body, windshield, etc… Please see pictures, this one is a super deal, because of it’s shape, and condition…Plus Warn overdrive, Selectro Mechanical Hubs. It drives very well, the transmission does NOT pop out of gear and it does not smoke…
I have added detailed pictures, and if you have any questions please let me know… I looked for a long time to find a NICE CJ2A jeep that could be fixed up and made nice without a lot of trouble or expense, etc. This is one of the nicest ones around and it took me a long time (over 3-4 years to find)… The biggest need is for the seat to be re-upholstered as the cushion and leather is bad… The seat frames are great… If one wants, it could be painted.
Why am I selling? I am starting a “special” medical clinic to help people and our soldiers who have Post Traumatic Stress Disease. I need to purchase more equipment for the clinic. Please know that my work is still based on donation and all my patients who want help, will get help.
Thanks for bidding, and thank you in advance for who ever purchases this jeep…YOU are doing a great cause to help those who suffer from PTSS, PTSD, Depression, etc.
Sincerely,
Dr. Victor J Wedel”
