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 $76500.
This look quite stock and solid.
“In great condition, runs great, all original parts complete with a hydraulic snow plow and owner’s manual. This is a real jewel only slightly used the past 65 years and always been protected from the elements.”
This looks like a solid package (nice body, nice tires and rims).

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1100.
This looks like a good price. Curiously, this has tool indents. I think that might be a MB/GPW body. Something about the fuel inlet hole doesn’t look quite right to me (I think it is custom) and I don’t see any body drain holes.
“Willys Jeep for sale. Good project jeep. Wanted to start it but dont have time right now. The engine was running a few months ago. Turns over now, but needs new fuel injector.

(07/24/2011) Here are some other VJV-35s for comparison.
If you know anything about Willys Jeeps then you know that this is a true find! This was a LIMITED EDITION Jeep Built for the Navy. Only 29 of these are known to exist! This one is Number 30!! Not currently running. It’s Either A “Go Devil” or “Hurricane”? I Do Know That It’s Tough! Lots of parts. Has Surface rust with a couple of bad areas, But nothing that can’t be repaired easily.

Sebastian has been busy touring Pennsylvania and getting to know the locals. In these shots, his CJ-3B hob nobs with some sophisticated friends.
He writes, “Last Monday I attended the Walnut Street Invitational Car Show here in Pittsburgh with my 1953 CJ-3B. It was a great event; I was amazed by the neighbors I got at the event, a couple Lotus, a Ferrari and an Aston Martin. Take a look of the pictures at the blog (bottom 5 pictures at the link): http://flatfenderclubofbutler.wordpress.com/2011/02/08/welcome-28/
You can see Chuck Curty in one of the pictures. He is the one that restored my Willys and in a very irresponsible moment decided to sell it to me! haha. Unfortunately he left the event early because of rain and I did not have the chance to take a picture of the military jeep he took to the show.
Not letting anything go to waste, Jeremy has put an old rim to good use.
He writes, ” The TRUE Willys enthusiast uses old Jeep tires and rims as a fan stand, rather than donating to the scrapyard. Behind the fan you can see the newly restored frame from my 43 Willys.”
Sebastian snapped these photos of this right hand drive jeep.
He writes, “Last Saturday I spotted this beautiful Jeep in Bimini Island (Bahamas). See attached pictures. Some very interesting features such as the steering wheel at the “wrong” side, a quality roof, lateral seats, nice speakers, and extended back. I did not see anyone around so I don’t know who the owner is or what is the car for, maybe a private recreational vehicle? or a public taxi like in Colombia? not sure, but definitely I envy the person that drives this jewel on the beach.”
This looks like a pretty rig.
“This is a custom 1953 Willy’s CJ3B High Hood Jeep. It has a Buick V6 engine in it. Extras / Custom items include the following: Headers, Dual Exhaust 35 ” Tires, Power Steering, Custom Stereo with CD Changer and sub box, Custom Gauges, Stainless Steel Hood, Windshield Frame and rear panels, Hitch, Lift and much much more!! This Jeep is one of a kind!! Also has CA, personalized plate “52WLLYS” . Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I am very Motivated to sell and will consider all offers!!”

This is a civilian jeep, probably a 2A.

“1950 flat fender willys jeep with lots of extras. Hard top, overdrive tranny, tilt wheel and more. Call 541-884-6444. Ask for Les”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2100
(07/06/2011) It runs and drives.
“231ci even fire V6, three speed manual with hydraulic clutch. Has disc brakes front and rear. Locked front and rear as well.Warn hubs on the front. Sitting on a mismatched set of 35″ BFGs. Runs and drives.
It is registered as a 44 Ford jeep. Has a CJ grill and windshield frame on it though. Its definitely not the nicest flatfender around. Would make a great trail rig with little little work. Or could be made nice with a lot of work. One would have to be mad at themselves to want to restore this to original, pristine condition, but I have seen worse turned into better. I bought this jeep to play around in the woods and drive it around town, but it has sat in my garage for a couple years basically untouched, so its time to get rid of it. It has collector plates on it as well.

” This jeep has been in the family since the early 80’s. My Dad then allowed some of his workers to use it for side jobs, etc. and it got in fairly rough shape. It underwent a very amateur redo (there is bondo in places) by one of his workers in order to give the guy some work.
It starts and runs fine, it does leak oil, brakes are fine (took forever to get those right) tires are good, etc. The oil leakage is somewhat minor, just needs some TLC and maybe a gasket kit. The windshield has cracks from being dropped when lowered.
Due to the creative use of the VW high back seats in the front, the gas tank is in back. Seat for passenger are from a bus. I have the title in hand; it is registered as an antique vehicle, but could just as easily be registered as a daily driver should you choose to. Missing little bits here and there, like turn signals on front. It has the original flat head four and drivetrain. Don’t let the little size fool you, I pulled a ton of jacked up big ole trucks out of the mud with it years back. These jeeps are quickly becoming unavailable due to rust, and people just scrapping them or not letting them go. This one is still in decent shape and mostly original.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200
This looks like a good price.
