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 .

This looks mostly stock, with a few minor mods like the lower windshield wiper, the front parking/turn signals and the addition of extra lights on the back.
“Only the 2nd. owner of Nice Antique 46′ Willy’s Jeep. No rust, extremely clean inside and out, stored inside always, runs good, has a hitch on the front so you can tow it behind a vehicle and have lots of extra original parts that are included. First model marketed for the public. Thanks for your interest”
UPDATE: This is back on eBay
(08/19/2011) Not perfectly stock, but perfectly nice.
“This is a beautiful Jeep Completly restored. Engine and drivetrain has been rebuilt with all new parts. The best way to describe this vehicle is better than new condition, It didnt roll off the line in 48 this nice! Every single part that could be replaced on this Jeep has been replaced. I’m posting this for my grandpa who spent 13 years on this project. The end project was so nice he didn’t want to drive it, That being the reason for only having 60 miles on it. All the mechanical work was done by a professional mechanic, same goes for the body work. The underbody is coated with paint matching truck bed liner. Shocks, brake componets, bearings, rims, tires, radiator everything on it is new. If your a serious buyer please call James at (989) 793-4857 and he can go over everything in detail with you, Like I said I’m listing for my grandpa. I can get an answer for you if you prefer email.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $700.

This past January Bob took pictures of this jeep parked coldly in the snow. It looks like it was ready for a trip, but then got stuck. Thanks for sharing Bob.

UPDATE: Back on eBay. Colin exchanged emails with the seller and learned this is a very early DJ-3A, as it is the 92nd DJ3A built in late 1955.
This is a nice DJ-3A that was found on the CJ-3B Page.
“Nice clean jeep. No rust… Been in the family scenes the mid 60s . All stock 4cyl rebuilt with only @ 100 miles on it. 3-speed transmission on the column. This Jeep is stock all but tail lights and air cleaner, which I have both to include in sale… 2 Wheel drive…. Great for around town to the post office and back. Hate to let it go must move on…”
It’s a project.
“1947 Jeep CJ2A. My son & I were going to build this Jeep, but, decided on a CJ7 instead. We got it running last year, clutch is good, drove it around the yard & gears all work. Frame is very good, body is better than average. We decided on the CJ7 because top speed on the CJ2 is around 40mph. This is a good winter project for someone. $1,300 207 450 6184”

The body appears a little rustier than the seller describes. There appears to be value here.

Labeled as a ’46, this has a ford motor and a GPW/MB Body (with a few side patches it seems.
“Up for grabs is this beautiful little 1946 Willy’s Jeep. This is geared extremely low and has had some lovely updating (paint, heavy duty tires, etc). Came from a little farm down near Fresno, and could potentially make a nice light duty little tractor for someone local (or a fun rock-climber recreational vehicle). Runs fine, starts right up every time, breaks and tires are in great shape, but the clutch gave out on us last trip we took, so that needs replacing. This is geared extremely low and maxes out at about 20-25 mph. Beautiful little collector’s piece of history. We bought this for $5K a few years back, but don’t have time, money, or space for it anymore. I think this is one of the old Jeepsters that has a Jeep body and Ford motor (collectible?), but you’ll have to confirm for yourself. Serious inquiries only, and you’ll need to tow it (it’s an easy light weight tow) since the clutch isn’t working. Selling as is. Registration and all paperwork is current, clean title. Email with questions or to come see it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
(11/13/2010) The body has some dents on the driver’s side. It appears this has gone through some updates, such as a tilt wheel, roll cage, and updates to the suspension (the front appears to have a metal strip that probably helps strengthen it is some way).
“Good working condition,Buick V6 225 engine, Warren over drive, Original 3 speed transmission. Great for hunting and 4 wheeling.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000
(04/28/2011) I suspect the reserve on this is pretty high.

“Howdy Folks, Up for sale is my 1953 Willys CJ3B. It has original sheet metal and no rust. I restored it about 8 years ago. Everything was either rebuilt or replaced then. It has traveled about 2,500 miles since then. My wife and I trailered it behind our RV on our honeymoon. So this jeep has seen SanFrancisco, Meer Woods, The Bad Lands, Mt. Rushmore, Yellowstone, Napa Valley, and Senoma and much more. So its been around. It has a few chips and bumps, however still shows very well and gets allot of attention. It even won best jeep at the very popular ST. Marys annual car show. Beautiful trophy.
It is powered by an F head four cylinder and an manual 3 speed. It is a 4X4 with high and low range. It has been updated with an Motorola alternator, converted to 12 volts, and a solex carb. It has military ND tires that actually drive very well and wear very well. It runs just great and is fun to drive. It is painted Caterpillar yellow and battle ship grey. I would be willing to repaint it any solid color with a single stage urathane enamel for an additional $1,200. This would include everything but the frame and engine compartment. I also have US government olive drab. You may call me at five three seven one nine eight seven or email me.
I am asking $11,000. It is located in Holland NY near East Aurora. Email me for an appointment for viewing. And if weather permits a drive. I am not interested in trades, or consignments. In the photo you may see the exhaust strap broken, It has been replaced.”
Last night, Louis, who lives on Long Island, and I met up for a bite to eat. He suggested the meeting after hearing I would be on Long Island this week. Patient with my ever changing schedule, we agreed to meet around 8pm last night and had a fine time talking jeeps and life. I learned during our meeting that he has a very low mileage FC-150 and a 1965 CJ-5. He promised to share some pics with us.
So, thanks to Louis for taking the time to drive to meet me and for buying me some food!!
Brett spotted this one. It runs …
“Runs but needs carb rebuilt and a few things to run and drive. New starter cap rotor plugs wires points changed oil in front and rear diff also flushed the motor and radiator please call or text Blake for more info 801-244-9698 thanks”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
This has some old Desert Dogs.
‘This thing is a major project. It has a buick v6 in it but I’m pretty sure it is junk. I was told that the front and rear axles are welded. The body is rough, no bad rust but plenty of surface rust. I had plans to build a wheeler out of it but life has got in the way and I’m not sure when I will get back to it. I’d like $750 but I’m flexible. Delivery available within reason. May take a trade but depends on what it is. Call, text or email me if you have any questions or want to come look”
UPDATE: Sold for $3000.
I can’t tell a whole lot from the pic.
