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 .

(02/22/2018) This late model CJ-3B has some Desert Dogs in great shape.
“Hello, I have a CJ3B project for sale, It includes the body as seen in photos, new frame with springs Dana 44 rear axle, Dana 30 front axle and four good Desert Dog tires. This is a new reproduction frame, not a sandblasted old frame. I have installed Saginaw steering using Jeep Parts from a 1971 Jeepster Commando, is a very good installation, and a trailer hitch made from 3/8 steel plate, so it is plenty strong and looks nice. Also, the front bumper is made out of 1/4 steel plate that I had made to look like a stock bumper, so it is really strong over a stock bumper. This is a very good start for a project, and I also have other Jeep parts for sale if interested in building a solid Jeep project. This project comes with the original VIN plate for registration, but this project is being sold with a bill of sale only. I can deliver this Jeep within 100 miles for fuel costs both ways.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7995.
(01/29/2018) The seller very honestly points out some weaknesses in the jeep.
“Up for sale is this very nice 1964 Willys CJ3B. The last of the flat fender jeeps. This one is in excellent physical and mechanical condition. There is no rust through on the jeep. The paint is decent on the exterior, but there is overspray in the engine compartment and whoever did the paint job did not clean off all the light scale on the rear floor and fenders and just painted over it, so the paint is the weak link.
It runs, starts, drives, and stops like it should. has a radio in the dash that will work if speakers are hooked up. Seats are good and drivers side has a piece of tape on the top edge as shown. I recently installed a period correct Kayline soft top and doors, and it is excellent.

“I’m selling my high hood . This jeep was my grandfathers and I bought it out of his estate. I had plans to do a few things too it but haven’t got around to it . My grandpa had this jeep since the early 80’s it got painted and a v8 in the late 80’s . From that point on he wouldn’t drive it or let anyone else drive it . I bought it in 06 and have maybe burned 3 tanks of fuel through it just running around town . It has not been off-road since the early 80’s . My grandpa always kept it garaged and I’ve kept that up .

UPDATE: **SOLD**
This is a project. The body looks very good.
“This is a very rare Navy Jeep with original data plate and all numbers match. The drive train has been rebuilt and the sheet metal is rust free and nearly perfect condition. I am 75 and not able to complete the painting and final assembly. I have a new wiring harness and all the parts. Needs to be put back together. I have over $10,000 invested.

Price: $3,500 or best offer”
It’s supposed to be a ’57, but it doesn’t have the later gauge setup. The chassis indicates it is a ’54.

This is supposed to have 11,000 original miles. Given the speedometer does not look original, this may not be accurate. Still, this looks very original and in good shape.
