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 don’t completely understand what these are, but it looks interesting.

Four wheel drive has been added to this DJ-3A.
“Tuff old jeep with snowplow, tire chains, towbar, michelin tires, 12 volt system, recently replaced locking hubs and brake master cylinder. Starts and runs well. I have plowed snow with this workhorse for the last 15 years that I have owned it. Just got a tractor and need to sell. Has old postal topper, with slide out drop down rear hatch.”
This looks like a good price. Double check that all the parts are there.

This J-54 appears in good shape.
“Up for sale is my 1981 cj3b Diesel J54 from Mitsubishi Heavy industries. Willys sold the license to Mitsubishi in 1953 for them to make a version of their much beloved Cj3b. Mitsubishi in turn, made the Jeeps from 1954 up until August of 1998. Willys on the other hand, stopped making the cj3b in 1965 for the American market. This jeep is in really good shape and it has only 36,000 original miles. The engine is the 2.8l 4dr5 inline 4 cylinder diesel and gets extremely good gas mileage…ive gotten a little over 30mpg since i bought it in 2010. It is the right hand drive like postal jeeps but it is really easy to get used to and kinda fun once you get used to it. The diesel engine is very heavy duty and was used all over the world in these jeeps and in Mitsubishi heavy forklifts. Here are some specs….full time hubs, 24 volt waterproof electrical system, D44 for rear diff and d30 for front diff, good approach and departure angles, gear to gear transfer case with a 2.3 low range and 4.77 differential gearing, no computer, no epa smog devices at all, no catalytic converter, no egr valve, no pcv valve, and no carburetor to adjust. The jeep cranks better than anything that i own and i attribute that to the 24 volt system and the power it throws to spin the starter. I really dont want to sale the jeep but other things are pressing and it is time for someone else to enjoy it.. . more info on craigslist.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Check out the paint job on this jeep. Also, the windshield glas is extra tall. I think this might have been a very nice jeep at some point.
“Runs and drives, 4wheel drive woks fine, Hurricane 4cyl engine. Hood and passenger seat not pictured but I do have them. Passenger seat needs to be redone. Its a great starting point for a great rig. I thought I’d have time for it but I don’t”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $1880.
I just thought parking this on a shipping container was odd.
“1959 jeep willy runs perfect no title but i have bill of sale is a colectable. cosmeticly fear condition need paint job but drives good nice for a project car”
HOG spotted this funky colored flat tie.
“Great restoration project. Very original Willys (Built by Ford) M38 (Similar to CJ-3A). Virtually no rust. Top has been removed, but available. Winch has been removed since photo. All military lights and original rims/tires included. Too many projects in front of it. Stored inside in hangar and garage.”

The body looks solid.

Note the original looking details on the underside of the hood. Seller says they will take it to the scrapyard soon.
“This old military jeep needs a new home. It ran good when I parked it a few years ago. I’m tired of looking at it and if it doesn’t sell it’ll go to the scarp yard. Asking $1000.00 obo.”
HOG spotted this CJ-3B out of Canada. Check out the gas inlet. It doesn’t look stock to me. I suspect this is an aftermarket body given the tool indents.
“Must sell my 1961 Jeep willys, runs very well, all original, Engine, transmission, gauges, interior, etc.
***$19,999.00 or OBO***”
UPDATE: Was listed at $4500. Looks like it sold.

(02/24/2013) There seems to be some value. Unclear if the engine runs.

(01/15/2012) This runs and drives. Looks like a good price. It appears to have a PTO winch, too.

I spotted a picture of this faux jeep at DisneyShawn, which is a website dedicated to Disney attractions. This particular jeep is inside the Toy Story Playland at Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris in Mame-la-Valle, France.
Shawn included a little trivia along with the picture. He wrote, “Fort Emery, the name of the post where we’re doing our parachute training, is a nod to Pixar Animation Studios’ hometown of Emeryville, California. The ID number on the Jeep in the outdoor area of the queue, 112295, is actually the date the original Toy Story opened in theaters (Nov. 22, 1995).”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here’s an unusual card.
“Military Christmas. Card WW2 Era India Theater jeep Elephant Risque Ladies . I would guess this is pretty rare Perhaps one of a kind. Pretty neat old card Apx. 4 1/2 x 6 1/4.closed . All items as described and sold as is.”
Gordon was curious what various gas mileage people go with their jeeps. Mostly, he wants to compare stock Jeeps to conversions. I used to get about 14 mph with my old fiberglass flattie with a buick v6 225, a four barrel carb and 3:73 gears.
Here are a few threads about gas mileage among stock jeeps:
