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 .
This 1971 photo shows Barney Goodwin in his 1963 DJ-3A. No doubt he was the coolest kid at his Houston, Texas, High School!
Thanks Dave! It was a fun vehicle. And the start of 50 years of Jeep for me.
Hey guys!: Find this for me. (Finder’s fee). No, I don’t have the VIN. But I’ll know a few features.
Galvanized dogs on the frame rails are probably gone now (Don’t ask, But the statute of limitations is probably run out). Slight bend in right front bumper from a tree that didn’t move. And no, I didn’t bend the left fender when I hit the 69 Corvette.
I wonder if Barney still has those bell bottom (or “flare”) jeans.
Those were bells, and wish I had them still—-to ebay them. Bring some serious money. I haven’t been that size for many years!
About the time I started wearing bell bottom jeans (circa 1980), I learned they were no longer cool. The story of my life, always at the rear of the trend curve 🙂
Dave
I am a friend of Alaska Pauls’ and have a DJ3A that has been converted to 4X4 at some point.
This jeep was driven to Alaska sometime in the 60’s. The interesting thing is it has the rear bumperets
just like the ones in Barnneys’ jeep and looks to be the same color.
Could it be?
Lynn, Now that would be crazy! I can connect you two by email in the morning.
Barney where did you live when you sold this jeep? I just shared one from craigslist with Dave.
Doug,
I lived in Houston, TX, Tanglewood neighborhood (area now called Uptown) about a long block from the Galleria Mall.
The one Lynn mentioned is not the one as hers had a full side body at the step-out.
We believe it to had been a delivery one (Pharmacy etc) before me. And it was only 8 years old when I got it. Paid $400 for it.
This model was also used as a ramp Jeep for airlines including Trans Texas and Delta in the Texas market.
There had been no markings on mine at all. Strictly stock. Sliding side doors. And the rear window door slid up into and latched into the top out of site like an old garage door. Front right bumper will show evidence of having been bent – because of a tree hitting me. And a small gash at the left corner of the front fender predating me. 3 speed on the floor. 3/4 bench driver seat and a single passenger seat.
Barney, the one I saw is on Tippacanoe Indiana Craigslist. Not much left of it but I doubt it is the one you had.
Doug, I don’t have a link from you. Did you share it with d@deilers.com?
