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 one has an odd “grille”.

“I have a 1949 willys jeep cj3. Disassembled it in 2009 and has been sitting since. Sandblasted a lot of the bad parts of the body and cut out all the rest. Started to weld some plates in and that’s where I stopped. Just haven’t had time to get back to it. I put the body back on to the frame just recently. All of the drivetrain is still in good shape I just got a gasket kit for the carburetor and cleaned it all out. I can show you that it starts and runs. I have the windshield fenders Hood and everything for it. Did have a new exhaust put on it right before it was parked as well as a new gas tank. I do have a clear Colorado title for it. 1200 firm I will not take any less.”
This might just be the least descriptive ad I’ve seen for a vintage jeep. No pics provided.

“1949 Willys CJ3A Fire Engine Jeep. This is a Boyer conversion. This jeep is very complete, original, and unrestored. This jeep has less less than 3200 miles on the odometer. Lots of the original accessories are still place. I understand that some of the nozzles are collectible.
The jeep has been in long term storage since it was taken out of service in 1980. The jeep is not currently running but the engine is not stuck. It will turn over by hand. The jeep was driven into the storage building that I found it in. I bought this jeep from the first civilian owner. Since this is an all original jeep, I have done nothing to it. I have not even washed the nearly 40 years of dust off of it. You are getting a very complete and untouched original fire engine jeep here. Continue reading

Looks fun. That’s a 4cyl putting out 350HP. Looks like it has some rare Kelly hubs, suggesting this must have a Dana 25 front end.
