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 .

(08/17/2012) This has some rare coil springs installed on the rear. The seller is a little confused about the CJ-3B. The overload springs shown in the first pic might be an earlier version of the Canfield Springs shown in the brochure in the following post.

“I am looking for a good home for a very nice stock 3A. I bought the jeep in 2006 and since then I have replaced a lot of parts to make the jeep a safe driver and reliable. The jeep IS NOT perfect, but is very solid and drives great. It is basically a bone stock jeep except the generator is a 12 volt not a 6 volt. I also have an extra body and windshield plus a bunch of extra parts that go with the jeep. In full disclosure the previous owner repaired the passenger side rear quarter panel. He did a decent job and it is structurally fine but it is definitely not perfect. I bought the extra body for the purpose of correcting what the previous owner did. If you are interested give me a call and we can talk jeeps and I can give you all the details hard core flat top lovers love to talk about.”
The May 1968 issue of New Mexico Magazine has a good story and pictures on an annual jeep trip by the Las Cruces Four Wheelers and the Las Cruces Jeep Club. Fifty-five people in 17 four wheel drive vehicles, including at least one Landrover, Scout, Bronco, Flatfender and CJ-5 (several of these), made the 32 mile trip through a portion of the San Francisco River.
The article includes a map, pictures, and tales of their exploits. As you can see from the pictures, they spent plenty of time deep in water, crossing the river back and forth. The article begins on the map page (page 2). It’s a pretty large picture.
The seller notes their was a ‘certified’ appraisal for $16,000 before additional work was done. That seems a bit high to me.
“ERTIFIED APPRAISAL FOR $16,800 DATED JANUARY 3, 2013. THIS WAS BEFORE THE ENGINE REBUILD AND DETAIL! Appraisal available below. 48,000 Original Miles! Rare split window.

It looks like a number of details on this CJ-2A jeep were painted in place, such as the hood latches, the windshield latches and, possibly, the windshield.

Craig found this article in the August 1956 issue of Jeep News. A pair of signs only cost $7.00 at the time.
That’s a pretty nice testing cage.

(02/15/2013) This trailer setup looks good.
“Up for sale is my M416 military trailer that has been modified into a off-road camping/adventure trailer. This started off as a ¼ ton M416 surplus trailer. It was completely stripped down and sandblasted. The Axle was replaced with a 3500 lb unit with 6 lug bolt pattern for Toyota and Chevrolet. The frame was extended in the front for a cooler rack, and two military style gas can mounts ( gas cans will not be included). Trailer still maintains the military pintle hitch. Body had the floor cut out and replaced with heavier steel. A custom lid was made which opens using a modified tailgate latch and heavy duty lift struts. On top of the trailer sits a large Serengeti Rooftop tent.(http://campinglab.com/serengeti01.html)
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
(11/19/2012) This Jeepster has an unusual pattern or design on the door. Looks good otherwise.
“This is a great car, fun to drive and a real head turner. I purchased this last winter from a private seller in AZ who had been rebuilding it and he tried to keep it as original as possible. It was near finished and I added a few things to it. Here is a list.
New: top and side curtains, frame for top, gas tank and sending unit, exhaust pipe and muffler, fuel pump, turn signals, hub caps, seats covers, a new overdrive, chrome bumpers, headlight hoods, exhaust deflector, steering wheel with suicide knob, outside mirrors, dash nobs. The engine is a totally rebuilt 4 cyl. (lead-free gas) by a Jeep expert in Phoenix and it has a newer paint job with a few small road chips (see pictures) and almost all of the chrome is new and looks excellent. I had a slider built for the driver’s seat so it can be adjusted. It is a six volt system and has radial tires that are like new. It has always been garaged.”
UPDATE: Was listed at $600. **SOLD**
Looking for a vintage soft top for your CJ-3A? This might be what you need.
“This is an original Whitco Jeep part. We took it out of the box to install on our ’46 Willy and discovered the top is for a a CJ 3. This is brand new and had never been out of the box. There is some box damage to which there is a minor hole in a back corner of the material. All parts are there, instructions included. This is a 1203-A Convertable Full Top for a CJ-3A.
The following is a link to the original brochure:

This seller has a variety of jeeps for sale. It looks like there’s a 2A or 3A next to the 3B, but it isn’t listed below.

At a start price of M-38A1, this looks like a solid jeep.
“his jeep has a ford 302 mated to the original drive train which is a 3spd transmission with a twin stick transfer case and 5.38 positive tract differentials. it has good 31×10.5×15 tires and ford turbine wheels. we welded new sides on the jeep (14 gauge steel). it has fiberglass front fenders and a roll cage (full). the top is not in the best condition. the seats came out of a 66 mustang, i believe…. my whole family used to go trail riding and this was my grandfathers jeep, however we all quit going and he would like to sell it. so i offered to put it ebay for him. it was great on the trail by the way! it has been just setting around for 5 yrs or so and probably needs the average maintenance, (filters and fluid changed). it does start and runs though all the gears just fine. oh it also has a new gas tank in it and probably other things that im forgetting. any questions shoot me and email, thanks
pick up only.”
This vehicle cracked me up. It was street legal in 1992. The title is even current.
