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 $4800.
(12/21/2013) I wonder if that windshield is a modified 2A? Looks like the front clip has been stretched pretty cleanly.
“1948 Willys body on 1979 Jeep frame, rebuilt 360 jeep motor. 38.5 tires, Been parked in garage for years and finally ready to sale. Call with any questions,”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,500.

“I have a 1953 CJ-3A for sale. It looks and runs excellent. It has the “Go Devil” L-Head 134 c.i. 4 Cylinder engine, 3 speed T-90 transmission, and Dana model 18 transfer case. Has been updated to 12 volt. We called her Wilma and she would go anywhere we pointed her.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2550
(06/05/2013) That 3A has an odd front bumper. Note how far back it extends.
“this is for a willys jeep project,it is a 1953 CJ3A with a good running 283 Chevy V-8 engine and no body. The other is a 1957 CJ3B good body with roll cage.. The two pieces would make a great jeep with plenty of power and low end torque as it has 538 gears. Title for the 1957 body is available as I have the vin plate and registration but no title, bill of sale only. I have a refurbished under the seat gas tank and a rear 6 gallon unused gas tank to go with it and a good windshield. I also have used front disc brakes for an additional $175.the title can be gotten for an additional $300.00 extra or through the lost title process.”
Yesterday Dave Alexander wrote to share the Tuxedo Park he and his wife Cindy have owned for nearly two decades.
He writes, We have had ours since 1994. We bought it from an older guy who towed it behind his motorhome occasionally, he was original owner . It had 32k now has 48k I think. My wife and I drive it a little every summer and enjoy it very much. We pile the dogs in and go. It’s got the two speed shifter between seats giving it 6 forward gears, and posi front and rear diffs, I have the original white softop and doors in rafters. Also have a rear wheel tire kit I took off so we can drop tailgate. It will cruise at 70 on freeway on calm day all day long, just don’t turn to sharp cause my wife will fall out. The Shepard fell out once, I just went back and picked him up, he sure had a funny look I his face. And in the snow, only once, it will swap ends in a New York minute.
Here’s a Happy New Year from Roberto!
Glenn pointed out this unusual 4Wd jeep-like vehicle that was offered for import back in 1972. I can’t imagine too many of them made it to the states.
UPDATE: This is back on eBay.
Yikes! I think that snake could swallow a jeep!

(12/15/2013) Seller does not have a title, but has a replacement title form.
“While driving down a street, we spotted an old dusty willy’s jeep. It belonged to a widow’s husband and was sitting for many years collecting dust near the back of her house. We were told that the jeep was running until he passed and it sat since 2010. It is in good shape for being a 67 year old jeep! It has a 327 with aluminum intake and camel bump heads, automatic transmission, a removable tow bar, a front windshield that smoothly tilts, and locking hubs. There is a rack to hold two Jerry cans. The body and the floors are surprisingly solid and there is only a small amount of rust on the driver’s side, which is an easy repair. There is a removable tow b

I had no idea there were this many Pepsi Surreys produced. I can’t believe someone didn’t get this photo in color. Eighteen of these were sent to Tulsa. I can’t imagine there aren’t a few stragglers still in the area. This photo is from the March 1960 issue of Jeeps News.
Published at the Jurgen Chronicles: http://misterjurgen.blogspot.com/2012/09/lubbocks-silent-wings-museum.html
Dallas Durham recently visited the Silent Wings Glider Museum in Lubbock, TX, and photographed some of the toy jeeps. After searching the internet, I learned that Silent Wings is the official museum of the National World War II Glider Pilots Association. It looks like an interesting place, so when we go through Texas (maybe after the FC-Roundup), we’ll definitely stop there.
Here are a few links related to Silent Wings.

They have at least one jeep. I’ve seen a photo of the jeep inside the glider and outside, so I can’t guarantee how it is currently presented. Here are photos published on the Jurgen Chronicles of it outside the glider:
Here are Dallas’ photos of the toys:
This photo was published in the December 1978 issue of the Silent Wings Newsletter. Santa was exiting a Waco CG13. Read more here and look for December 2013.
Marc forwarded this photo. When I first saw it, I thought these guys were doing a German salute. The jeep has an unusual paint job. Is it something specific?
