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 .

“1950 Willys CJ3A Flat fender Jeep
This Jeep is a great little runner that gets looks all around town. It’s reliable, starts right up and hasn’t failed to get me home again yet. It stops on a dime and steers straight and true. It rides on 7.50×16″ Firestone 8 ply NDT tires with less than 1K on them. The rims are the original size 16″ x4.5”. It will roll through the back roads all day long but it won’t take you down the highway mind you. It’s top speed is 55MPH with a tailwind so comfortable cruising speed is between 45-50 MPH.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3900.
“I’m selling my 1953cj3a Willys flat fender jeep. It is currently registered and runs. It has a 76 ford pinto 2.3l 4cyl motor with a stock t90 3spd tranny and model 18 t case. Stock running gear.
