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: Still Available

UPDATE: This sold quickly. Was listed at $7500.
Sam, from Flat Fender Willys, has done a large amount of work on this rig, including the installation of a rack and pinion that makes the steering very tight and responsive. This also has a custom dash that tilts forward. Sam would have painted this too, but the seller’s family wanted to keep it mis-matched because they liked the character. If you are interested in a solid, daily driver, this is worth a look.

Kerry spotted these pics on a friend’s facebook page. They are part of the Fotos Antiquas de Medellin and may have come from this Facebook page.

Looks like a nice jeep.
“This vechile is rust free. When refurbished all electrical componets were rebuilt, brakes, shocks, muffler cooling system and mechanical items were gone thru and refurbished / replaced. Tires, top and interior seats are new.
The mileage is unknown.
Everything works.
Engine is a 4 cylinder flat head (original). 3 speed transmission and 4 wheel drive.
This vehicle is not perfect but it is very close.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was no price.
Unclear if this runs or not, but sounds like it would make a good jeeping jeep.
“Willys jeep has Buick 3.8 v6, front axle dana 25 posi, rear axle dana 44 posi full floating, dana 18 double stick t case, sm 465 tranny, headers exhaust, aluminum edelbrock intake and carb, new thornbird tires lots of stuff done to it”
This will interest someone.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
This needs some work, but looks pretty solid.
“This Willys CJ3B is mostly original except for the engine, which is a rebuilt 231 V6 that runs great. It has a T90 three speed transmission and Dana 18 transfer case. One downside is that the transmission needs some work . The tires are in good shape and the stock axles have 5:38 gears. The body is in very good condition as is the windshield glass. This is a good, solid project with a lot of potential that already has a good start — mostly just needs some tinkering. Don’t really need to sell , but don’t have the time for it, and maybe someone else can enjoy this old gem.”
It isn’t ‘all original’, but it runs and drives.
“CJ3B all original. CJ3B front end and tall boy hurricane motor runs as smooth as a sewing machine, excellent condition. New exhaust, complete new brakes. CJ3A body, rough. Frame, driveline, transfer case, in good condition but slips out of 3rd gear on occasion. I have the title. Please contact through email and if you include your phone number I will call back right away.”
