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: **SOLD** Was $1200.
This might be a good find.
“Old willys jeep. Body and frame very solid. no engine, trans.”
This has got to be a good deal. I cant tell for sure how many smalls are missing, though. Looks pretty solid. More pics would be great…
Oh Todd, you should sleep.Looks like it’s missing some parts. I think I see the column shift bracket
Appears to be light rust for a Connecticut find. Could be a fair price.
Talked with Josh the owner today. There is no Title, VIN Tag and the frame has been painted to hide the number. Some have discussed possible Air Force or aircraft carrier history. The color, if original, might suggest military heritage. What you see is what you get. If it’s still around in June I may take a look on my way to The Great Willys Picnic.
April to September Update. Thanks to Dave for the DJ-3A search tab, I was able to find this post. Thanks to Colin who saves everything and can find it, we got the seller’s number, who then informed me it sold. He called the buyer who was making a rat rod, then changed his mind. New buyer agreed to sell to me yesterday, loaded into my trailer and now resides in Maine. Complicated, but without Dave’s site and Colin’s organization it couldn’t happen. Miss Willy gets the parts she needs, I get some nice DJ3A extras, and our Production / Survivor List gets a new member (If I can uncover that frame ID)
Congrats Glenn!
Congrats Glenn! I love it when a plan comes together!!!
UPDATE: With some Industrial Strength Aircraft Paint Remover from a local body shop, I was able to get through POR-15 on the right frame rail just ahead of the front body mount. The 5 number ID is stamped there on all DJ3A’s. The number 56337 will not be there as it was on the ID Plate on the firewall which is missing. The numbers I uncovered on the frame rail were 10715, so the original S/N of this DJ3A would be 56337-10715 making this the 715th DJ3A produced for the 1956 model year. There were 2510 DJ3A’s produced in 1956 so this one is about 1/3 the way through the run. It has a speedometer that ends in 8 so we suspected it to be an early DJ3A. Later speedometers ended in 9. Be very careful if you do this. Abrasives may obliterate your digits. Go slow, Be patient. Use TOOTHBRUSH.
