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 .

“I am selling a 1953 Jeep Willys CJ3b. Jeep is out of California until 2010 where it made its way to the northeast. Minimal rust, two spots the size of a 5 inch square on both floors by feet. Thats it.
The vehicle was undercoated many years ago, of which is peeling like crazy off the bottom of the tub and fenders. Literally comes off in sheets, by hand. Nice grey gloss paint underneath. That grey is the original grey and I think its called swan grey.
The motor was just gone through, including less than .002 taper on each cylinder, rods, pistons and main bearings are all standard and have never been over sized. Cylinders were honed and new standard rings were installed, only because the original rings had become brittle and I snap a few when removing.
UPDATE: Still Available.

“Hello, I am selling a hard to find 1953 Willy’s 3b for my grandpa. He has had the vehicle since the 70s and has been a great vehicle for him. He started to rebuild the vehicle a few years ago but then had some health complications. It has all the parts for the vehicle. He has some new parts like a new gas tank, and a Buick 238 V6 that was rebuilt 3 years ago. It has lived it’s whole life in the desert so it has minimal rust compared to more humid environments’
UPDATE: **SCAM** … This ad appears to be a spam ad that was emailed directly to me (we even exchanged several emails). Neilwilson266 @ gmail.com, the email associated with the post, appears to be a spam email account (or has been co-opted) and has been linked with several spam emails to readers.
In addition, the jeep below has been priced at $3800 on WillysForSale.com for three months, listed by “Neil” as well. A phone number of 409 299 3478 has been associated with “Neil” …
The jeep below may well still be for sale in Tucson (see older ad here), but I can’t really tell what’s going on with it at this point. The photo below looks like Tucson, not Houston.
