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: **SOLD** Was $1250.
Looks to be a CJ-2A chassis with a DJ-3A body.
“I have a 48 willys jeep for sale the previous owner has installed a v6 (I believe it to be the dauntless odd fire ) it looks to be done correctly the body if fairly solid for its age I have not done any thin with it since I got it in on trade I was going to restore it but I don’t have the time. ”
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.
“1958 4 x4 with winch. Bought out of a warehouse. Been sitting for awhile. I haven’t tried to get it running yet. Needs master cylinder. I’m looking for a good skid steer for trade or best offer.”

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.

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. ”

Here are some jeeps/part jeeps.
“Multiple willys jeeps, a scout, and a dj5 postal jeep for sale
I’ve collected many parts jeeps and am considering thinning the collection
I’d prefer not to separate the many Engines, transmissions, transfer cases and axles but money talks
and prices begin at $1000 and go up from there I will respond to messages so let me know what you’re interested in and I have other parts available but not listed or shown”
http://augusta.craigslist.org/cto/5627446624.html
Has a Toyota engine and lots of surface rust.
“1958 Jeep DJ-3A. This is a left hand steer, two wheel drive variant of the flat fender CJ-3A . It looks the same but is much easier and less expensive to restore than it’s four wheel drive brothers. It currently has a Toyota 20R motor and 4 speed transmission, it’s not running so I don’t know the condition of these items. Mounts and adapters are readily available to install any engine and transmission that you’d like (I have a Chevy 4.3 V6 that you could negoiate me out of). The old gal is a bit ruff but completly restorable. Tow bar included, tows smooth and easy.”

This has a postal jeep frame (or maybe DJ frame?).

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $6500.
Michael spotted this DJ. It hasn’t been run in a while.
“Completely unmolested, clean, straight, no rust, no dents great barn find specimen. This is an all original, all numbers matching, 27000 actual mile Willy’s. Engine hasn’t run in a while but little doubt that it will. It odes turn over, it does have compression and fire. I took the Jeep for trade on some work I done. I have no place for it and no time to refurb.
This would be an incredible father son recon project. It’s all there. I even have the original jack, lug wrench and spare tire.
The right rear brake is locked up.
Title is current and clean. VIN 24242. Matching on frame rail and VIN tag.
Original color was white but it has been painted.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5250.
Jim spotted this one. The 3A has a DJ body.
“This is a project that would be fairly easy to complete if someone has the time. Its a parts jeep to my knowledge an early willys frame and a later model body. The frame is in great shape and body is as well except for a few dents and rust spots in floor. I have a Willy engine that was completely rebuilt and was running smoothly when i took it out. I have tons of parts for it and have done a lot of work but like I said just don’t have time to finish it! I’ve done all the hard work, trust me when I say it will be easier to rebuild than it was to take apart! Please call, txt, or email with any questions as this jeep is completely disassembled and I can take more pics and answer or get answers to any questions you might have! This is a PROJECT JEEP! 5250 OBO”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600.
This might have an interesting data tag on the dash.
“Rare Willys Dispatcher jeep, for restoration project or parts. Everything is still original, but vehicle has not run for many years.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3300.
Looks like a 2A with a DJ-3A body.
“Partially restored CJ2A. Dont have original wheels. Runs great. Sunday driver for us. Body not perfect up close but looks good. Currently a 2wd but have eberything minus the transfer case to switch back over to 4wd. Very simple quick conversion. Upgraded fuel system makes starting etc much easier. Otherwise motor is original as rest of Willys is. Couple options to… wipers and heater.”
UPDATE II: **SOLD** Was $3000.
UPDATE: Charles reports that Steve’s 1962 had the same Dispatcher sticker in a different place. My guess is that the sticker could be added to the jeep by the owner.
Doug spotted this one.
“1962 Willys 4 X 2 Jeep Dispatcher (DJ3) Right now the right fender and grill has been removed due to an altercation with a fence post!! Fender can be repaired but the grill was not repairable. I have a new old grill not a a reproduction for it. This jeep is all original with 21,000 original miles! It runs great but it needs some love!!! I’m asking $3,000 OBO!!'”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.

“Here I have a

Looks like a DJ on a 4WD Chassis.
“1956 DJ-3A willys jeep 4WD
4 cylinder, F4-134 engine ,2 barrel carburetor. In Great Condition! It was parked at the end of last summer. Needs a new battery. Clear title”
http://missoula.craigslist.org/cto/5473837789.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay. $14,999.
Most of the pics are more of these ‘models’ rather than jeep.
“This showroom-fresh Willy’s Beach Car was the center piece of Johnson Jeep & Willy’s in Riverside, California, for many years. The speedometer shows 200 miles since it has been restored.
From the looks of the restoration, it was done by the Jeep Company many years ago, probably in the seventies.
It needed a new parking break cable when I bought it. I’ve installed “Quick Steer” that has made this a joy to drive with 1 finger.
These DJ 3A Willy’s are impossible to find in this condition. From the paperwork, this vehicle looks to have been a Las Brisas hotel Willy’s (Acapulco). I believe that Elvis Presley once owned a Willy’s just like this one, in coral and pink. He certainly drove one in a few of his movies I have seen.
The jeep is missing the top, but I have a re-manufactured original top-style frame for it. And I have located the material and fringe for the Surrey top. This will be the new steward’s job.
The Willy’s stops, starts and rides as it should.
Books and records from the seventies are yours if you are the buyer.
It definitely has some scratches and patina on it. Come see it if you’d like.”
It look like the body is a DJ body. It’s listed as a 1946.
“I had visions of doing a frame off restoration and giving this to my dad…..sadly, I will NEVER get to it, so it seems. As it sits, I have removed the tub. it is solid with little to no rust. motor and tranny are pulled as well. both spin freely but presumably need a rebuild. have some spare parts, including 2 windshield frames, 2 grills, 2 steering boxes etc. it’s a solid base to start your Willy’s project.”

It might not run, but there may be value here.
