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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .
These are good looking tires and rims.

I wandered across this website in 2008 that showcases old woodies. There’s a jeep section with a variety of woodies. The woodie at the bottom is made from an old MB/GPW.
“A French coachbuilder’s modification of the American Jeep into a wood-bodied fire fighting squad truck is similar to the work of Duriez.”

“1956 Willys CJ3-A Jeep. Original condition with L4-134 motor. Has newer Besttop. Brakes, drums, wheel bearings, master cylinder, emergency brake, hoses, belt, springs & shocks are all BRAND NEW! Starts, runs & drives very well. Also have many extra parts such as spare tire with rim, spare tire mounting bracket, side steps, original oil bath type filter, (4) tire chains, new carb rebuild kit, service & parts manuals, etc…”
Most of this CJ-3A looks to be in very good condition. I'm not a fan of the roll bar though. The low reserve of $500 means this will definitely be sold.
"Very rare find! This vehicle is showing 306 miles, yes three hundred six miles. I am assuming someone did a full frame off restoration at some point of this Jeeps life and installed those gauges at that time. I recently acquired it so, I am not sure of previous history. But, it appears to have been restored by some one and put away for some time. The paint looks great except for the burnt part on the hood which is not that noticeable until you get right up on it. It also has some minor rust around bolts and hinges and one bubble pictured on the tub right behind the passenger entry area. The body seems solid, the floors seem solid….. Call with any questions please. Thank you. 281-807-9233"
UPDATE: *sold* .. was listed for $3500
“I’m posting this out of regret but I can’t let it sit much longer. This Overland Willys deservers a new home. It is a 1952 delivery body with a 1959 4WD frame and front end. The tranmission hump was welded in from the 59 into the 52 body (as 4WD was not available in 52 to my knowledge).
It has a 283 small block Chevy V8 as I’m told from a 62 Impalla (engine origin was word of mouth from last owner). A Carter AFB carb. Duel cherry bomb glass pack exhaust. The tranny is the original T90 that was rebuilt about 4k ago with the custom clutch. The tranfer case was not rebuilt but would take minimal work with the basics….
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $17,000
“2 Door Wagon, 6 Cylinder 230 Tornado, Power Brakes, Power Steering,4 Wheel Drive,Trailer Hitch, Winch
It’s 1962, open the passenger door, a 60/40 split! The 40 jumps completely out of the way, making it easy to load into the rear bench seats of this classic 2 door model. Whats this? Another 60/40 split, need something out of the back? No problem, just go get it! And oh by the way, there’s more leg room in the back seat of this vehicle then any modern SUV. Flip the rear seats forward, open it’s real “Tail Gate” and it’s just begging for 4 Longboards and some sleeping bags. In 1962 the Wagon was powered by a brand new 6 cylinder 230ci Tornado. A very unique engine, intended to be reliable and deliver plenty of low end torque. Some would say it was the perfect engine for a Jeep!”
I’ve located some fiberglass fenders along with a grille, a body, and a tail gate for $600. While a decade old, these parts never been installed, drilled, or painted. The seller says he bought these parts brand new and that they were designed for a street application, so they are a little heavier duty than the light racing bodies. That sounded fine to me, so sometime next week I’m gonna head to Oregon to check them out. The one thing this package lacks is a hood.
These were actually for sale about a year and a half ago. The craigslist ad had very little info and didn’t list any keywords, so it was a tough ad to find unless you specifically typed ‘flatfender’ into the search field. Also, it was winter time and, at least for me, getting over the snowy passes wasn’t worth the effort. After being frustrated in my fender search (metal or fiberglass), Yesterday I decided to give him a call. Sure enough, he still had everything sitting in his garage.
Because of this, I will continue to list expired Craigslists ads for a while since the sellers may not have been able to get rid of their jeep or parts, but got tired of relisting their stuff. And, if I can get it, I’ll always list the seller’s contact info if they provide it.
To make me feel better about cutting my brake line, Mitch sent me this series of images of him rolling his jeep last year at Rimrock (Washington State) on 'flat' ground. It kind of looks like Mitch's jeep rolled over and played dead to get out of the mud. Another way to look at it is that, if you are going to roll over, smarter to do it on flat ground rather than on a steep hill …. but right in front of a no parking sign? (see last pic)
Here's Mitch's take on it:
"Here's the series of pics…..That mud was real thick….In the process of rocking it back and forth I was making good progress of getting out….When the front end finally pulled the rear out of the hole, it immediately slid to the left and dropped the left front tire off the little ledge you can barely see in the pics. I had enough momentum and it was enough of a drop that the jeep just slowly flopped on the left side. No damage at all. The cage and tires were the only things that touched ground."
