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 $10,500
(10/11/2015) The DJ guys report this is a solid Surrey.
“Older restoration by previous owners.
No top, bows or hardware.
Minor mechanicals needed.
Sitting 10+ years.
Current non-op.
Runs, drives, everything works.
Very clean and complete body.
Minor scrapes and scratches.
Price is firm, see to appreciate, don’t waste my time and yours.”
Let the “FRENZY” Begin…Insanity has no limits when it comes to DJ3A Surreys.
Cheap way to get into a surrey!
Cheap? I don’t think so, the lack of irrational enthusiasm proves it.
Maybe “cheap” isn’t the right word, but it is very difficult to find a solid surrey that doesn’t need tons of work at this price point. So, if a buyer wants a surrey with a known pedigree, this is a good option. On the other hand, Mike is right that buyers aren’t storming Riverside to get their hands on it at this price. Maybe the mud slides are keeping them at bay? lol.
Just as I suspected, need I say more? Sometimes Mike Finegan DOES KNOW what he’s talking about.
🙂 … All I KNOW for sure is that some days I’m more wrong than a broken clock.
Nah Dave. The optimist in me says you’d be right twice a day.
It’s easy to predict the outcome when there’s only two possible choices.
How hard are the tops to replicate? Isn’t the material difficult to find?
Dave, http://www.jeepsurreygala.com has an interesting article about replicating the fabric for the surrey top and seat covers. It’s titled Jeep surrey top pattern and seat covers.
Thanks Paul .. That’s Bruce Agan’s site and if anyone should know the answer, it would be him.
And my Surrey parts car has the hard to find or duplicate bows:

Glenn,
Good point! I’ve updated the ad and bumped it forward to the front page.

I don’t see any buyers.
See, and I think at $10,500 that’s a pretty good deal. Runs, drives, etc. make a top and bows, which are very close to 2A bows with minor mods, and you’d be in business for half what most surreys go for.
