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 .

(08/03/2010) I thought I had listed it earlier, but I couldn’t find this in my searches. It doesn’t come with a motor.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
Brett spotted this great find. It won’t stay in 3 gear (4 speed), but it sure looks like a great price. It appears the interior has been rhino lined, the brakes have been upgraded to power brakes, and it needs a bumper.
“1963 Jeep CJ-5, 307 Chev V8 with headers. Engine runs good. 4 speed transmission that does not want to stay in 3rd gear. Engine has so much power that I don’t miss 3rd at all. Transfer case / 4 wheel drive all work. Brand new steering box. Would pass inspection except needs emergency brake handle / cable, and new windshield. Dana 44 rear, Dana 25 front. If interested please call for additional info / pictures. Thanks”
It appears some time was spent shining up this old penny.
“1942 JEEP (RESTORED) EXCELLENT CONDITION, VERY LOW MILES SINCE RESTORATION, VERY CLEAN $6000.00 OR BEST OFFER”

Bob’s flatfender weekend was a success!
Bob reports, “Morning David, our show turned out great. We had 13 Jeeps show up, 12 of which were Willys Jeeps. Everything from a 1942 MB to two 1953 CJ3Bs, including mine. It was great to make new friends and catch up with old friends. We had a nice campfire all day long and had a free lunch for all to enjoy. I also want to thank everyone for the generous donations to help offset the cost of renting a port-a-john and buying the food, as well as showing up on a chilly morning.”
You can see all the photos here. I’ve included a couple below:
I recently made a note about a ‘3rd’ seat that sat between the front seats of an old Willys and that I couldn’t find any information about it on the web. Well, Ron has such a seat in his jeep and shared some pics with us. These appear to be pretty rare, based solely on the fact that I haven’t seen any of these attached to jeeps for sale (that is until I saw one recently). Thanks Ron!
Ron wrote, “You were wondering about the “3rd” seat or center seat on one of your adds. You advised that you had researched and could find nothing about them. I have one of these seats. They were offered by Willys to make the bucket seats into a bench (in theory). They work so-so. Mine came with my Dad’s 1960 Willys CJ-5 jeep, purchased brand new from Dold Auto in El Centro, California (the jeep is mine now). It was apparently an option. The upholstery is shot on mine but they are easy to restore as the base is a single piece of stainless steel formed like a seat. The upholstery slips on like a sock, one for the back and one for the seat. I can still remember the day we brought the jeep home, I was 9 at the time, seem like yesterday.”
There looks like some value here.

This was formerly a Fire FC.
“This ’59 has a rare cab with 16,900 original miles. Was originally a fire truck, was disassembled and kept in a barn for years. Previous owner sandblasted frame and undercarriage which is in excellent condition. 265 engine was completely rebuilt and a very rare 4-speed transmission was added. A steel dump body with dual pistons was custom made. Dump works perfectly. Chrome dual pipes were added for charm and a great sound. Truck goes like crazy! What it needs: a bumper, needs wipers connected, and the heater hose needs connecting. It won’t take much to finish it off! I don’t have the time or energy to do it myself. Call if you have a question – 603-532-7645 or email. Paypal or certified bank check”

Sebastain is now one of the few people I know that owns jeeps on two continents (USA & Colombia). He is now the proud owner of the jeep below. You can see more pics at his website. Congrats Sebastian!
Sebastian wrote, “Hi, great news, I bought a CJ-3B to have in Pittsburgh. I still have the red 1954 CJ-3B back in Colombia, which thanks to family and friends is still in great shape. The new one is a 1953 yellow 3B, restored here in Pittsburgh by Chuck Curty, one of the founders of the “Flat Fender Club of Butler”. Chuck did an amazing job with this car, I am very lucky he let me have it. Take of look of some pics that I posted on the flat fender club blog:”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
It appears solid, though there’s been some work on the and the hood.
“Willys body, hood, grill, fenders, windshield $750 OBO.”
The seller notes this is all stock, which is obviously not quite right.It looks in good condition.
“We are selling our little jeep that is all stock. This has not been molested or modified. We had bigger brakes put on so it would stop nice. It has no top. We only used it at the lake in Eastern WA so w never needed one. This will make a great hunting rig or 4×4 rig Call Eric 253-691-9786”
