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 .
It looks like some nice work went into this restoration.

No title, but it runs.
“I am selling a 1954 willys jeep that I currently use on my deer camp. This is a great all terrain vehicle and runs well. Recently I have noticed there is a leak in the transfer case so that does have to be fixed on the jeep. I am asking 1400 OBO. I only have a bill of sale not the title. It will run if you want to put it on a trailer. Only thing it needs is the transfer case needs to be resealed. I will meet in either Graham or Jacksboro to deliver the jeep. Please call if you have any questions about the jeep.”

“The elderly man we purchased the Jeep from said he purchased it new . The title had a date of 1978 , we suspect the state may have made one update the titles when they changed their system . In fact when we went to change ownership , it took the state two months to locate the paper work required . I have a copy of the 78 title . The vehicle runs and drives , though it will require a thorough going over . I cannot see any rust holes in the floor boards , there are a few spots that are rusted through in the rear body panel where dirt has collected . A New Mexico car from new is my understanding . It has typical surface rust . Someone did change the color from Green to Red on the outside . You buy the red Jeep , the white Jeep is free along with the extra engine sitting in the bed of white Jeep . No title with white Jeep . Contact me with your number and the best time to call .”

“Very nice, original unrestored 1964 Willys CJ3B in the service skin of the Vietnam war period. These jeeps (last of the Willys Flat Fenders) were sent by the hundreds to Vietnam They were not used tactically by the U.S but in security roles and staff duty vehicles in garrison around Saigon ect.
This vehicle in in very authentic configuration as the 3Bs put into service during that war.
Original condition with no rust or rust repairs ever..
The 134 F head motor powers this vehicle, transfer case and lockouts operate perfectly. There is a chipped tooth on the 1st/reverse gear that makes
a noise in 1st and reverse but does not effect the performance of the vehicle.
It has a military canvas top and windshield cover.
I am the 3rd owner, the 2nd owner was the original owners son who took possession of the vehicle only 4 years ago just before I purchased it.”

It has been sitting in my shed for several years due to my disability, but was completely serviced and driven last month. I removed the steering wheel so I could in it, I’m fat!”
