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 .

(02/21/2012) Switched to F head motor.
“For sale is a 1951 Willys CJ3A. 4×4 works great. 134 cubic inch overhead valve engine runs good. This Jeep would originally have had the 134 flathead, but a previous owner did the swap. The Jeep still has the low hood however, so the previous owner’s solution was to hole-saw an opening in the hood to allow the air cleaner to stick through. Not the most elegant solution, but it works. This Jeep starts right up and runs and drives great! Rebuilt carb, rebuilt starter, electric fuel pump. The drivetrain is in good condition…Dana 25 or 27 up front, Dana 44 rear and 3-speed trans (T-84?) w/Dana 18 twin stick transfer case. Good seats. Rollbar. Towbar. Towhitch. Five Jackman white spoke wheels with good Big-O snow tires. Brakes fair. Decent, presentable body with new floor on driver’s side. New fuel tank. All lights work, wipers work, amp & temp gages work except speedo…needs cable. Nice vintage Jeep at a fair price. Jeep is located in Pahrump, NV 60 mi outside of Las Vegas. Clean NV title. ”
UPDATE: SOLD. See comments.

(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.”
