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 .

(11/19/2013) Seller needs this gone. It’s been sprayed with bed liner.
“clean title. Built V8 ready for wheeling retrofit onto existing tranny, not in horrible shape for its age, currently in the shop getting all tuned up for the next owner.
i believe this engine is out of a 1955 chev corvette,based on the serial number located on this motor.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(12/13/2013) It might be worth a look.
“Here I have an extremely rare 1957 willys Jeep Forward Control FC-150 pickup for sale. It has an excellent running Hurricane F-134 inline 4 cyl engine that doesn’t smoke and always starts right up. It has a three speed T-90 transmission that shifts greats and holds gear and a Spicer 18 transfercase that also shifts great. The front and rear glass is perfect but the flat glass on the doors could use some help, upholstery is good. All the turn signals, headlamps, hi/low beams, heater and electronic functions work. It is in pretty good shape, drives and stops nicely but it could use some more TLC and attention. I want to continue the restoration but I have too many vehicles and just don’t have the time for it. I recently replaced the battery, starter, all old hoses, stainless steel brakelines and rewired the entire engine bay with correct automotive wire, automotive heat shrink connectors, chafing protection and gaffer tape. It needs new gears in the front axle for 4×4, a speedometer cable and some bodywork but it drives fine as is. 100% clean and clear Arizona title.
Email only, I can take 4,300 cash or trade for a cleanish “daily driver” JEEP Gladiator Pickup J series truck 1962-1970 with the early style “rhino” grille and a manual transmission. No other trades will be considered.”

Last week Troy and some friends were jeeping in the snow at Copper Creek in Washington State. They were kind of looking for Christmas trees, but it was more about playing. Looks like a fun time.
UPDATE II: Charles spotted the 2010 post below that shows a DJ-3A auctioned on eBay from Massachusetts. Anyone recognize it or know the previous or current owner?
====================
UPDATE: Bill tells me they are also looking for pictures of any surviving examples of tops and the bows themselves. The bows are the most important item they need to duplicate. The top is something we can construct but without a correct set of bows we won’t be on the mark.
Bill and Charles are seeking the measurements for the DJ-3A Fastback Style Top like the one shown below. There’s currently a thread about it here http://z4.invisionfree.com/CJ3B_Bulletin_Board/index.php?showtopic=5356, but so far no one has had any luck finding them.
As I look at these two pictures, it appears to me that top folded up like a Jeepster top. I’ve never noticed that before. I’ve never run across one of these tops in the real world, only in brochures or press photos.
This looks modeled after a BRC-40. I guess “Janet” never got her postcard.

“I have for sale my 1962 Willys Jeep m170 ambulance. It is basically like a military Willys m38a1 except it has a longer wheelbase. Being military it has the dana 44 axles and heavier duty leaf springs. It currently does not run as it needs the wiring harness reattached. It ran and drove great 3 summers ago before I ended up parking it and and pulling the harness for another vehicle. The harness is there, it just needs hooked back up. It is a universal harness I ordered because the original wiring was a mess. It has no top. I have the original harness and a few extra manuals and parts to go with it also.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was priced at $400.
“Complete PTO package. Includes Ramsey 8000 pound PTO winch, full drum of cable, pair of hooks, and a fairlead. Also includes PTO driveshaft, offset drive box and in/out box. Even includes an ULTRA RARE! adaptor to mount the in/out box onto the back of a Warn Overdrive. (how it was set up on my 63 CJ5) I’m also including all the brakets and bolts that held the unit to my frame and t-case.
Everything is currently set up for a CJ5 with overdrive in stock transfer case location. I cannot promise that the driveshaft length will work on a CJ2A/3A/3B as I know they are a couple inches shorter in wheelbase. If you are mounting the PTO directly to transfer case, without an overdrive, the driveshaft will need shortened. If you have moved the transfer case for an automatic trans, the driveshaft will need adjusted
If your willing the make driveshaft changes, the setup should work with any Spicer Model 18 transfer case. Jeep CJ, Willys wagon/pickup, even some early Internationals.
Unit works great. I remove everything every fall to shed weight for racing season and I’m getting tired of reinstalling it. I have never needed it to get unstuck, but I did fire it up to respool the cable every time I reinstalled it.”
