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 .
Despite it’s wretched shape, there’s some useful parts on this convertible DJ-3A (not $1500 worth though), including remnants of the convertible top, a topic about which we DJ guys would like to know more.

Thanks to Nick for spotting this garage sale. It occurred last weekend, but maybe some jeeps remain. The FC has potential. The yellow DJ-3A appears to have been a cargo loader.

“Have a few jeeps for sale. B/o

Lots of other stuff”
This has a DJ-3A body and front clip. It may be a DJ-3A chassis, as it appears to have the rear tank in back. So, it may have a DJ-3A that has been converted to 4WD.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/293802601591842/
“Frame s/n 10248 good condition, no title, no motor, front and rear propelled axles with drive propellers, T90 transmission, model 18 transfer case, shift levers damaged, by previous owner, both cases will need to be gone thru for possible repairs. Body has holes in flooring and in hat channels, but can be readily repaired with just a little mig welding skill. 4 good CJ rims, axles roll easily. Also offering a CJ2A early block, s/n 23555 if not wanted, will deduct 200$ from 800$ total! Block has no cracks, face original never resurfaced, no pitting on head gasket surface area.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Were $300.
After a closer look, it appears the serial number makes the DJ-3A a 1962 (#56337 22581).
“Here’s a rare 60/40 or split front seat out of my 1964 DJ3A. It needs restoration or recovering. My DJ3A was a surrey originally and you can see the original pink and white stripes under the tan. Frame has been repaired at some point. Perfect for your surrey restoration.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $850.
(12/30/2020) This DJ-3A has been chopped a bit. I’d have to guess that the front axle has been added to the DJ chassis. It looks like the rear axle is a standard 4-lug DJ axle.

“I have a 1956 Willys . Roller no motor are trans . Vary solid starter has 30117 on dash . Asking $900”

(The ‘GPW’ appears to be the one with the DJ-3A convertible body on it (brown).

“1947 willys jeep. 4cly 3speed 4wd.new tires,brakes,lines.fuel tank and much more.runs and drives great.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $150.
Looks like a good price for these hard-to-find items.
“Hub Caps and Headlight Rings for1957 Willys Jeep. Good Condition, original. $150 for all”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Seller lists the price at “$3”. It could be a place holder or could be $3k. This is a mid-1964 model DJ-3A that looks pretty solid.
“1964 willy’s 2wd flat fender. I also have for sale a 1990 corvette suspension front and rear, engine and transmission for $1,500. I was gonna do a rat rod with the two cars but I have no time to work on the project”
Not sure what the chassis is, but the body is all DJ-3A.

“Rare 1943s Willy’s postal left hand steer 4×4”
It looks like it has a DJ-3A convertible body and a DJ-3A grille.

“No paperwork. Jeep has been setting for 20 years. It took a bit to the front. Frame is repairable. Trans to transfer case is broken but might be repairable.”
This nice looking convertible DJ-3A looks in good shape, but is missing the soft top parts.

“1962 Willys dispatcher 3 speed on column fully restored.Only about 1,100 of these were made and 1962 wqs the last year for the Willys name. It starts, runs, and drives perfect. Only 11,000 original miles. Come see it to appreciate how nice it is and drive it.”
This is a modified DJ-3A.

“The jeep started life as a 1957’s dj3a and was converted to 4wd later on. I have 5 rims and tires, fiberglass hardtop with wooden doors, doors need new wood. I also have the front windshield that goes with this set. i was thinking of keeping this unless i could find or trade for a regular fold down windshield. also have 4 stock leaf springs. make me an offer on this stuff. I need it gone.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/05/2016) The red jeep has a DJ-3A body.

“two Willys jeeps for sale. They are rough but I was gonna make one out of the two. The blue one is a 1946 CJ2A, I have the data plate for it, but no title for either. I don’t know the year of the other one. The 46 has a bad frame but the other one is good. Neither one is running. There is also another set of axles and a set of 15in. powder coated wagon wheels goes with them. $1500 firm for all.”
Jordan spotted this later model DJ-3A that’s been mistakenly listed as a 1945.

“Runs great and drives need restoration 4200 or best offer takes it”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $600.
This was a convertible DJ-3A. There might be some useful parts left, as few of which are unique to the DJ-3A.
“I have 1950s Willys Jeep for sale. It’s a solid project!No rust. Was gonna Rat Rod it.She’s looking for a new home, way too many project’s, need to downsize. Asking $600.00 OBO. Make me an offer.”
This might have a DJ-3A body. Not sure there’s much value here.

“Parts Jeep or make it roadworthy. It needs a total rebuild. It has sat out back for many years. Am guessing about the year. The numbers on the motor say it’s 1948. It’s a parts Jeep. There’s no title. I added pictures to show the frame needs work. But hay, it’s 71 years old”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
Converted to 4WD.
“This is a 1956 Willys Jeep with an in-line 4 cylinder. It has been converted into a hunting Jeep. I have replaced the carborator. Master cylinder, ignition switch, battery and oil. The Jeep runs great, the 4×4 works well. It has a shooting chair for the back and you can see it in the pictures.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $4000.
(07/06/2019) It’s listed as a 1945, but that’s a DJ-3A body.
“Frame off restoration, 500 miles on marine V-6 engine, 600 CFM carb, new clutch, brakes, tires & seats with 4-point harness, Pantera exhaust, new aluminum radiator, 1988 rear-ends, custom rear storage, roll bar, off-road lights, lighted whip, car cover”
DJ-3A body on a 4WD chassis?

“Willy’s Jeep needs work only real rust is by doors on floor pan”
UPDATE: This appears to be still available.
(06/30/2019) Tom shared this oddity. This seems to be a late model DJ-3A body and windshield (design for a Koenig top) mounted on a (probably) CJ-2A chassis with a Meyer Half-top. That’s a combo I don’t think I’ve seen before.

“Hubby final realized he does not have time to restore his dream toy so he sadly is selling ….1946 jeep willy. Does run does drive. Has and 1946 plate also. 5,000 or best offer. No tire kickers. Can be driven home….it has original drive train…Guess I forgot to say No trades…cash only!”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(09/07/2019) This jeep is listed as a Surrey, but I see no evidence of it being a Surrey. Being this late of model, it should have the heater intake vent on the passenger side. But, it seems to lack that.

“For sale 1963 Willys Jeep DJ3. Has been completely disassembled, cleaned, painted, rebuilt and restored in 2013. Everything is new top side and bottom side. The original 4 cylinder 2.2l engine, 3 speed manual transmission and rear end are still in the Jeep. It runs and drives great!! Plenty of power, smooth thru the gears and a blast to drive.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $30,000.
This is the late Bruce Agan’s former surrey that is being sold by his wife. It’s about as accurate a surrey as you’ll find. I’ve seen less accurate surrey’s sell for much more. See the full story on this Surrey here.
Thanks to Jordan for spotting this one. It needs some work, but looks repairable.
