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 on eBay.
“BOUGHT BY FATHER 12 YEARS AGO, STORED LAST 5 YRS, TAKEN OUT APPROXIMATELY 3 TIMES A YEAR FOR CASUAL USE OR JUST TO CLEAN
WHEN PURCHASED, FRAME UP RESTORATION, BUT DID NOT TOUCH BODY, ORIGINALLY WAS PINK BUT WHEN PURCHASED RED IN COLOR, REBUILT MOTOR, PUT IN NEW BREAKS, WHEEL CYCLINDERS, BRAKE LINES, MASTER CYCLINDERS, TIRES, SHOCKS,SAND BLASTED, PRIMERED AND PAINTED EVERYTHING. THERE IS A SOFT TOP AND DOORS INCLUDED, SEE PICTURES”
The package looks good but I doubt the price will hold. Neither the body nor the windshield is CJ-2A, so there’s some mixed and matched parts.
“new exhaust,front disc brakes,spray lined tub,8000lb winch,automatic transmission,centerline wheels,soft top and doors,totally rust free very very nice”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3250 **SOLD** I saw this driving around the other day in fact!

This is a 2wd Sand Rail. I suspect the body is fiberglass. Looks well built.

This article about Randy Lawson’s build appeared in the 1994 Off-Road Magazine. It took Randy 15 years to redo his CJ-3A. Unfortunately, I don’t have a before picture. Some of the details not mentioned in the short article on this page include the following:
Was listed at $10,000
I like the day-glo color and the safari window. Though slightly impractical, the dash is installed nicely. Plenty of details to like about this jeep. This may be a bit much to pay for a drive train without much updated (perhaps it’s rebuilt?).
“This 1964 Kaiser 3B is a “High Hood” with a very clean Chevy 350. We have updated the dash with new gauges and wire. It is still four wheel drive with little mods to gearing. This jeep has always been garaged and well maintained. The windshield it very rare due the the “Safari” style windows. We have a set of rear paddle tires (Sand Tires Unlimited) with rims. Still have the original soft top and soft doors.”
This build is for sale on eBay. There are plenty of pics. Note the m606 in the background of one of the ebay pics.
“This is a really unique combination of old and new and we’ve had a ton of fun in it. This rig started it’s life as a military M38 until the previous owner started modifying it as a back country rock crawler. When we got it, it had wasn’t much to look at, was missing a windshield but ran and drove so well we had to have it. It is heavily modified to be a safe, comfortable, go anywhere ride. We call it The Rhino Hunter as it has effortlessly shamed a few ORVs in the mud and rocks…”
I find this jeep slightly puzzling. I love the nice detail and old school upgrades — the full roll cage, the extra large windshield, a good front bumper mod, the nice paint job, updated seats — yet it still sports an F-head? This jeep looks like it should go fast, but can’t.
“Fresh F-Head 4 Cyl., new exaust, 3 speed w/overdrive, 8000# Winch, full roll cage, front disc brakes, custom tall windshield, custom seats, rock bars, custom bumpers — $4,500 o.b.o.,”
Looks to be street legal. Has lights and a license plate.
