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 .

(11/11/2012) This has stainless floors?
“Very straight and solid; lots of work done; has stainless floors; lots of nice custom work done; good tires; tow bar; has Scout running gear; California title. First $1,500 takes it.”
It’s a bit rough, but quite stock. I can’t tell how deep the rust is.
” OK, here it is again: Here is a 1953 Willys Jeep. The Jeep has been in my family for the last 60 or so years, and has been parked in our barn for probably the last 40. I had the Jeep running about 16 years ago and was able to drive it around. I kept it running for about a year, then lost interest in it and parked it back in the barn. When I did have it running, it ran pretty well and did not smoke. All of the gears worked as they should and the 4 wheel drive worked amazing. I never did get the brakes working. Unfortunately now the motor is locked up. I did try to free the motor up by pouring kerosine in the cylinders and trying to turn the motor over, but it did not work. When I got it running 16 years ago, the motor was locked up then and I had to take the head off and let it soak with oil. I cannot guarantee that it will work again, but that’s how I got it free. It has some rust and the passenger floorboard will probably need replaced and a couple of holes below the doors, but most of the body is solid. The tires do hold air for at least a couple of weeks, but they all have very slow leaks and are dry rotted. Anyone is welcome to come and inspect the jeep before bidding.”

“BARN YARD FIND! Been parked for 25 years. We did not receive to much information on the vehicle. It is a 1951 Willys Jeep with a clear title. 4×4 with lockout hubs. Jeep also has a heater, which from my research is an option. I had several people look at it for me and i was told it was a cj2 or cj3, i am not sure. The mileage shows 84,278 and i dont know if that is accurate. The jeep did come with keys. It takes a 6 volt battery, but does not have one.Left door and right door are complete with glass mainly just surface rust. Both doors open good with the latch. The hard top is made by Koenig iron works MODEL # 325. On the hard top by the back window there is rust with holes on the bottom below the window by the floor. The hood does have some rust holes. Oil looks good. Still has anti-freeze also.Everything under the hood does look complete. Frame looks good for its year. Windshield has surface rust around it. Drivers windshield has white stuuf on the bottom of it. Clutch and brake pedal feel like they are good. Body and floors very rusty. 5 denman N.D.T. tires (non directional tires), tires look good, spare tire has never been down, did not need to add air when we picked it up,”

Chuck wrote me yesterday to share his good looking 1951 CJ-3A. He bought it last summer off of eWillys, choosing a 1951 jeep because that was the year he was born. The body, home built by the previous owner, is made from 3/16th steel. Chuck is currently rebuilding a Koenig hard top for it.
Chuck, thanks for sharing the pics. I look forward to seeing the top when you finish it!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
This may be a CJ-2A. Looks solid.
“Small block Chevy. Short ratio shift. Headers. 4 barrel carb. hydrolic clutch. 4 wheel drive New seats. This jeep is crazy fast and about half dangerous, will only sell to a mature adult. NO KIDS.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
This has a couple interesting features. The first is the unusual body extender. The seller says this is a factor original extension (which differs from the Koenig aftermarket extension). I have not encountered a factory body extension. There is no evidence for one at the CJ-3B Page either. The small bars in place to act as supports underneath are different than I have see as well, though could have been replaced.
The second is the rare crankshaft driven PTO which along with the mechanicals for a rear PTO. The body looks pretty solid, per the seller’s description. There is some work to be done, but this might be worth a look.
“Here’s a real nice, basically rust free jeep. Only rust is surface rust that you can remove by running a rag over it. This jeep seems to be a nice find. Has ordered from factory winch & brackets, PTO unit, PTO lever & winch levers, as seen in picture, on floor passenger side, Also, governer & PTO unit for rear of jeep in good shape. Also comes with a factory rear body extension, very rare. Appears to have nothing missing, as pictures will show. Motor is not froze up and turns freely by hand. Carburator, intake manifold & lifter cover are off the engine, but all the bolts and parts are there. I do not know why these items were removed from jeep, due to death of the man that used to own this jeep. Due to there being two manifolds, I am guessing there might have been a miss due to an air leak or gasket leak, and possibly he bought new manifold to solve the problem, again I don’t know. As seen in the pictures, the hat channel under this jeep, is not all rusted out and body has never been removed. Again, very clean, very nice jeep. Call for more info or pictures.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900
(09/09/2012) Except the strange contraption on the front bumper this looks pretty stock. Of course, the paint scheme is odd.
“Old Willys Jeep. “L” head, 4-134 “Go Devil” engine rebuilt in the 1960s. Carter WO carb rebuilt last year. Frame is good, drive train is good. Body is solid but rough. New tires. Needs new springs all round. Comes with 4 extra wheels, homemade cloth top, and draw bar to tow it behind your vehicle.
