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 .
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $450.
There may be some value here.
“Old Willys jeep basket case, lots of parts including flat head, not sure if it is any good.”
NOTE: Nate needs NOS Amp and Temp Gauge for his new CJ-3A (or ones in good shape. If you have them, you can email him at bolducn20 [at] aol.com).
You might remember Nate’s last two rebuilds. Well, he managed to find a stock, solid CJ-3A in the Northeast. Kudos to him for that find. It looks great.

Nate writes, “Anyways, the one I picked up a month or so ago is truly a rare jeep for the northeast and one that I have been searching for. The body has very little rot, all the original wiring is intact and every thing works, lights, brake light, horn, and vacuum wiper. It runs great also. I had to do a little tinkering with it to get it running good, just as good as my ’53. It also has decent breaks now too. It was missing some parts that I located like a passenger hand wiper, battery hold down, matching ’49 license plates, one seat pan and a spare tire/carrier. I added the dualmatics.
Only things I need for it are two original gauges and it is back to 100% original. The ones I need are an amp and temp gauge. If anyone has both, please let me know.
We think it came from Tennesee. On the tailgate, very faintly it says “DAVIS HOLLOW SECURITY PATROL”. We researched that and there is a seasonal campground in Tennessee by that name. There were other places too, all down south. Someone at one time painted the entire thing, and I mean everything (even the grease) with the red primer. The original color was Luzon red which can be seen in many places. Makes me want to remove the primer to bring out the original paint. Even the frame is still black in a few places!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
What is that on the passenger side, an emergency brake? For $3400 this looks like a good price.
” Military flat fender style jeep. 4X4 with a solid, good condition drivetrain. 134 c.i.d. L-Head 4 cyl. engine that runs strong. The speedo reads 01851, but I don’t have any idea if it is original miles and turned over once or not. Powerful PTO winch that works great. Tow bar attached to the front bumper. New floor panels. Soft top and soft doors included, but it is not a full enclosure. Body is in great shape-no rust. Spare tire carrier has been moved to tailgate and the tailgate is tack welded closed. Everything is original except the front bumper (has a grader blade welded to the original bumper) and the tail lights are replacements. Tires are sun rotted and not highway safe. Clear title. I can deliver the jeep within 100 miles, but no further. Cash or cashier’s check for full amount at the time of pick-up and title transfer.”
This is a project.

“I have a 1951 Jeep CJ3A chassis that has a 1953 CJ3B engine with low running time since a rebuild. As of right now it turns over but wont start. It is a project I have had for a long time but dont have the time to work on it. It has no body tub or fenders but does have the windshield and the hood. I also have a soft top for it. It also has a fairly new distributor, coil and a rebuilt starter. This past winter I mounted the seats and gas tank to move it around. Im asking 300 obo cash and it will have to be picked up. Shoot me an email if you are interested or have any questions! Thanks!”
It seems to have some good parts, but ‘drives like crap’. Now that’s an honest seller.

UPDATE: This was first listed in 2009. It was originally listed for $13,000 or make offer. Now it is just ‘make offer’. The first listing only had one pic. The new listing has more pics and makes it appear that the jeep has been well taken care of (with the exception of those yellow lights on the grille — oh the inhumanity!).
