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 .

Send me an email if you have questions. I will have current photos when you email me.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
The seller notes the paint job fits the jeeps name “Yolanda” (apparently, it is a long story … lol)
“1962 Willys Jeep. Starts and runs as-is. Recent work includes new clutch, rebuilt carburetor, new mud grip tires on five original wheels that have been sandblasted, primed and painted. New seat frames have been fabricated, one additional passenger seat frame included. Good compressions on all cylinders. Transfer case shift mechanism is tight and hard to shift; needs work. Includes original front bumper wench. Windshield and spare tire rack included (not shown) I rate this Jeep as a good restoration candidate; I just don’t have the time or motivation to rebuild it. Custom paint suits her name “Yolonda” (it’s a long story). She needs a good home and significant TLC.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500

“Nice Jeep ! 6 cylinder stickshift ! Runs and Drives Super good ! Still has the Medical kit onboard ..Fresh Seats also ,, New Rubber ! Was stored indoors before restore ! email to see it !”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
This looks in good shape.
“1949 Willys Jeep in great condition. Only a small bit of rust on the undercarriage. Otherwise the Jeep is in outstanding condition. The engine was rebuilt by the previous owner and always starts easy and runs strong. The roll bar and front and rear bumpers are custom made with a detachable tow bar and receiver adapters for winch or other uses. All tires are new. The transmission and transfer case both work well and appear to be original. The electrical system has been converted to 12 volts and has a GM alternator. All lights work and backup lights have been installed for general use or field dressing game animals. The brakes work well, but the master cylinder leaks. It has not been registered since 1999, but can easily be registered as an antique. I have not owned this Jeep very long and really don’t need it, however I have enjoyed driving it and it’s more fun than an ATV.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(04/25/2010) Here’s an old school looking build. A retro-rainbow styling worthy of the 70s. I’d like to see more pics of this one.

UPDATE: This is back on eBay.
(06/20/2010) This jeep has some character. Note the image that shows ‘the relief hold’, which used to be the gas tank inlet.
“This is a very cool old willys with a neat history. This 53 Willys Jeep Cj3B was restored 15 years ago and used as a pace car and push start vehicle for cloverleaf speedway till it was shut down. It has cool vintage paint with hand drawn pin-striping, with some weather checking for that old school rat rod look. I have tried to keep it as original as possible, and still make a capable 4×4 wheeling vehicle out of it. Here’s a quick break down of it:
Solid frame, no major rust and most of it still has paint on it! Body has no rust showing, but has had bondo and fiberglass repair in the past. It is solid, but not a show truck! Front and rear tow points already attached …”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“Extremely unique, one-of-a-kind!! Completely restored, inside and out, as you can see from the pics. Less than 1,000 miles since frame off restoration. 350 (balanced) Chevy motor, cam, headers, and 327 Corvette heads. 350 turbo trans, 9 inch Ford rear end, Mustang II front suspension and dropped spindles. Real lacewood vaneer outside panels. White wall tires. Has heater, but no air conditioning. Kenwood CD player, maple flooring, mahogony inside paneling. Runs & drives like a dream! Needs absolutely nothing! Always kept in a controlled environment, and has never seen rain!”
Brett found this unusually painted CJ-3A. I can’t tell if this is a well executed canvas of trees and limbs or an arbitrary splashing of paint.
“

Here’s a great looking Jeepster.
“The car runs very well, and its easy to drive. The “3 on the tree” manual transmission shifts properly. Whether you’re heading to Margaritaville at 5 o’clock, or just out for a pleasure drive on a nice ragtop day, you’ll have no worries.
As far as condition, its good. The body is straight and the interior is in very, very good shape. The convertible top is also in very good shape, but it does not latch properly at the front. This isn’t ready to be a show car, but its a nice driver. We don’t know the actual mileage on the vehicle, but we’re betting its seen more smiles than miles.
It does have an AM/FM/Cassette radio, but the car doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles…oh wait…there IS a whistle: the “sexy girl” whistle sounds when you push a button on the dash.
Call Keith at 954 448 3659 to Buy It Now!”

(12/04/09) “This jeep has been fun while we owned it but the kids are ready for something they can drive. 1947 camo. color Runs and drives fine.”
UPDATE: Was $2500. **SOLD**
This appears to be a great price on an updated CJ-3B.
“1960 Willys CJ, 289 Ford V8, 4 spd, 2500 firm must see. LOTS OF FUN!”
UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $1500.
“1943 WILLEY JEEP 4 WHEEL DRIVE WITH 1965-1968 327 8 CYLINDER FOUR BARREL CHEVY MOTOR 275 horse power $1,500 JEEP IS AN ESTATE ITEM THAT HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR YEARS. WILL CONSIDER SELLING MOTOR ALONE $800 FIRM!!! BUT IF YOU BUY IT I WILL PULL THE MOTOR FOR YOU.”
Brett spotted this interesting find. There are at least 3 unusual features on this CJ. The most obvious one is the paint job; unclear what the inspiration was, but it’s unusual. The second feature is the automatic transmission that has a column shift rather than a floorshift, which is a clever mod. Finally, while I have seen expanded windshields, I can not remember seeing an expanded windshield that uses a CJ-2A frame (with the exception of the one below this post — strange how these things surface sometimes).

Here’s a fun Jeepster.
“1950 Willys Jeepster, title is a 46. This is a quick little car, that runs great, steers and stops like it should. No frills just a cool little drop top driver. I bought it as a basket case and replaced or rebuilt pretty much the entire car. This car is made to drive, no bull, just you the road and a V8 growl out the back from three inch pipes. You can spend time driving or waxing, if you’re a waxer car show guy, this is not your kind of car. I completed the car three years ago and it is 100% dependable.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
This old Jeep has an unusual paint job.
“About as original as it get. Has been setting, but a new battery, a little carb work and a repacking of the wheel bearings and you can peel its cloths off and enjoy the coming warm weather. Lotts of extra part included at that price.”
UPDATE: Now for sale here.
“54 Willys powered by a Ford 289. It has a 3 speed with a Dana overdrive, a new 4 core radiator and a new carb. It runs well and is a blast to drive. The rubber is in almost new condition and if you do get stuck the Warn winch will pull you out. It has a bikini top so if your going to drive it in the winter you best be a tough one. Give me a call if you have any questions.”
UPDATE: Was on eBay **SOLD**
This is a sweet wagon.

“1962 willys utilty jeep 4×4 $3500 obo this has 99k miles runns great looks cool evrything works brakes motor (has some oil leaks ) light heater cd player interer has 1996 bronko seats”
This is a good looking CJ-3B with unusual striping.
“You are bidding on a beautiful original 1953 Willys Jeep CJ-3B. Black plate California jeep. This jeep runs very good with no oil consumption or leaks. The only rust is on the front fender where it meets the grill and the tailgat has a crack where the spare tire carrier used to be as seen in the pictures. It has a new clutch and pressure plate installed last year. The top is almost new with one small tear in the passenger door that happened when it was hauled to Arkansas from California in 2009. It also has a canopy top in good shape for those warm summer days. All 3 seats show some wear but have no rips or tears. The speedometer does not work the needle is broken off in the gauge. It has chrome rims and good street tires. The engine, transmission, twin stick transfer case and third members are all in good shape with easy shifting and no strange noises. New brakes were installed in 2009. The jeep comes with a tow bar for towing behind your motorhome. I have owned this jeep for over 10 years and bought it from a friend who used it on his horse ranch. This is a great jeep, a lot of fun and I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere. Good luck bidding and enjoy this historical masterpiece. THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION. Any questions just e-mail me. This is sold AS IS with no warranty.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2995. More pics.
(07/08/09) Here’s one for you Pittsburgh Steelers Fans!
“Very cool driver>>>>all original drive train and still runs like new. This is a good project or keep as is and use as a slow driver. No speed demon here as this was designed as a work horse with top speed around 50 mph. This is a good 20 footer and is a lot of fun. Take to Sand Lake and you can drive to town as this is what we used it for. Give me a call and we can make a deal as I am out of room. John @ 360 600-8213. Will deliver locally. It also comes with tow bar and you can Rat Rod it or make a cool Hot Rod too!”
