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 .
Tom spotted this nice looking DJ-3A Convertible. It doesn’t look like it has the convertible top and it’s missing the hubcaps, but otherwise this seems one of the better DJ convertibles that I’ve seen. It looks like it’s been repainted at some point.

Certainly does look decent but the dealer’s spacebook info is a bit confusing: automatic trans, fuel type “other”, & powered by “Wayne Reaves”. WTH ?
Obviously this dealer ins unfamiliar with selling vintage Jeeps; but he can be forgiven for the “automatic trans” because Facebook seems to automatically put that in every vehicle listing. Other sellers have complained about it but FB doesn’t seem to care.
Not sure how many of these had a rear seat, due to the forward slope of the rear curtain. YOu couldn’t sit in that seat with the curtain zipped up.
Were front bucket seats offered on a DJ3A? My understanding was they came with a wide drivers seat with an optional narrow passenger seat.
Scott: My understanding is that most DJ-3A Convertibles used the 2/3 1/3 front seat, but I’d wouldn’t be surprised if a person could order them with the seats as shown in this DJ.
Colin: Even the front seats would be tough for me to sit in with the convertible top installed!
