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 have a 1957 Willys Jeep for sale. ”
It’s a mix of parts that doesn’t run yet.
“Jeep Willy old school jeep, perfect project car. I just got it and willing to let it go at good price. It was running 2 months ago just been sitting. I may have.

Glenn spotted this one. Advertised as a 1957, it looks to be a mix of parts.

DJ-3A/CJ parts mix.

Looks to be a DJ body on a CJ-2A.

Here’s an interesting flyer for the DJ-3A Mail Jeep Circa 1955.
“Here I have a Single Sheet Flier for the Willys Jeep mail Dispatcher from 1955. This has some wear and a small tear on the bottom (See Scans) but still displays Very nicely. Will ship in a protective Sleeve with backing board.”

Ann has suggested we leave the paint job as is for now and call it “Rusty.” Sounds good to me.
Looks to be a DJ-3A body on a CJ-2A chassis.
“1948 Willy Jeep
Flat Fender
Original Motor runs and works,
needs work, good project jeep or pasture toy
lets make a deal”
http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/cto/5724051757.html
Looks to be a DJ-3A body on a CJ 4WD chassis. While a true DJ-3A installed on a 4WD chassis from the factory has yet to be found in the US, the DJ-3A group did learn about a DJ-3A with 4WD that was sent overseas. So, we are wondering if one or more were sold in the US as well.
“Frame off restoration, motor rebuilt, new axle seals and bearings, all new brakes, will lock up all 4 wheels. Body in really good shape, very usable, solid floor.
Runs and drives great, still needs lights wired, gages, a roll bar, maybe a windshield. All the hard work is done, ready for finishing touches.
$2500 or best offer, more than that invested.”

This jeep is for sale in Cuba (I doubt there are many eWillys readers there). The absence of a standard filler inlet on the driver’s side made me wonder if this was a DJ-3A.
“Vendo mi willy en Cuba para su familia en buenas condiciones a pagar aqui en hialeah es del año 52 con mecanica de lada rueda perfecto”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7800
(05/02/2016) It’s not all stock. It looks to have a DJ-3A body (or a replacement body).
“Flat head 4 cylinder 3 speed with over drive all fresh rebuilds. Very nice not all cutting up still stock.
Call for more details.
Always parked inside.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
It’s a DJ that has had 4WD added.

Looks to be a DJ-3A.

No pics. It’s listed as a “1949 Willys DJ 4×4” in the ad’s title.
“Not run for over 15 years, complete sold on bill of sale”
Glenn spotted this parts/project DJ.
“1959 Willys DJ-3A, Only 1,948 produced that year. Very few left. Ran great when parked years ago. Radiator has since been stolen. Needs lots of body repair.”
Could be a DJ. I can’t tell if it has been converted to 4WD or not. No description provided.
http://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/cto/5631828822.html
Worth a closer look.
“For Sale 1957 DJ 3A $6500 OBO
Frame off restore, no rust nice paint. Flathead 4 cylinder, 3 speed column shift. 95% done, great shape, has a fuel issue, probably bad gas.
It has just been a porch pretty for a year. We are playing with the fact to cut it in half and stretch it and drop a big block in it and make a bad ass trail rig out of it. We’d figured Id throw it out there for sale 1st.
The inside pics are taken today and the discoloration is all just dirt and pollen. ”
