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 .
UPDATE: Was $41,500. **SOLD**
This might be the same one that was for auction on eBay.
“This 1963 DJ-3 has been restored to better than new condition and is beyond perfect in every respect. It is powered by Jeeps rugged little 134 cubic inch inline four-cylinder engine with three-speed manual transmission. More importantly it is festively finished in Flaming Pink and White with a Pink and White striped surrey top and spare tire cover. It is cheeky cute cheerful and fabulously restored.”
UPDATE: Still Available
I don’t see any major issues with the body. I wonder if it will take much to get it running.
“350 chevy motor, not running, good body, $1000 or trade, what do you have … I am posting for my dad. The best way to get answers to your questions is to call the following number… 931-698-1732 cell. Also, I don’t have any more pics right now. (can get some more this week) ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600.
Note the stainless steel windshield.
“1951 Willys Jeep CJ3A, Pinto 2000 (100hp) motor, T-18 truck four speed transmission (granny gear), model 18 transfer case, 4:88 gears with locking diffs. (modle 27 front and 44 in rear) with Warn hubs, power steering, stainless steel windshield, full roll cage, Recaro style seats, “Jackman” white spoked rims. No papers, sold as is or for parts. $1600.”
Back in 2002, or thereabouts, Dino launched a website he calls the “GPW – MB – CJ 2A/3A/3B – MC/M38 Visual Reference site.” It’s got some really useful visual information, including a dataplate page that I used tonight while reviewing a jeep. Unfortunately, it appears to have been last updated in December of 2006.
One of the coolest images I came across was developed by Darryl of Darryl’s Garage (see below). Darryl appears to love restoring old vehicles. He also documents those restorations wells. Two restorations he has done include a 1943 GPW and a 1943 Bantam Trailer (both of which I’ll highlight tomorrow). These are excellent overviews.
So, the image that Darryl created is a beautifully done chart that follows the changes, on a monthly basis, to the GPW and MB bodies. Nice work Darryl! You can see what he did below (and you can find it on Dino’s site here):
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1250.
“1966 Jeep CJ-5 factory stock Buick V6 and headers. Stock running gear 3.73 diffs. Running gear is intact and not broken. No bondo. No rust holes. Has not been wrecked. No frame cracks. Solid tub has been sand blasted bottom and inside. Swing away spare tire carrier. 6 point cage. Has been in my garage for 8 years. Ran and drove when parked. I began collecting new and used parts off and on with the intention of making a streetable rig. Good for some mild weekend wheeling. Some parts mocked-up on the chassis are GM Saginaw power steering with tilt column. AMC type rear mounted fuel tank includes filler cap insert (still has stock tank under seat). AMC type heater box. Other parts included are: locker spool for rear diff, GM (Blazer) front disc spindles, door frames, Rancho 1 1/2″ springs and shocks. 1″ shackles. Aluminum 15″ wheels.

UPDATE: **SOLD ** Was $6000
It’s unusual …. but he loves it.
“Custom made buggy that will go anywhere. I have used it in Moab rocks, AZ desert rocks, Colorado mountains, CA sand dunes, etc. 370hp 360ci mopar engine professionally built … My wife hates this thing, I will hate to see it go. I am asking 6k, but am somewhat negotiable. I would consider some trades such as an equivalent value 4×4 quad or a rhino, ranger, or prowler. I would consider a clean jeep as well. I have this machine at a storage yard in Post Falls. If I have time I hope to take it to Moses Lake this weekend to check out the dunes that are supposedly over there. They don’t sound like much compared to what this beast has seen before.”
I have no idea what these normally cost, but figured someone might be interesting in them.
“New in Box set of 4007-std Perfect Circle piston rings will fit the F and L head 4cyl 134 willys jeep engine will ship priority mail for this price contact me at larryd@cnetco.com”
This is one of the least expensive winches I’ve come across through Craigslist. It looks like dad’s old winch, which never failed us in 15 years of use.
“Old school, would be awesome for restoration on vintage 4×4, this is the winch that later became the famous warn upright 8274. It worked great when removed from 1964 Jeep CJ5 a year ago. $250 or will consider trade for f*re arms, canoe, aluminum boat willys jeep parts etc. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
“This jeep sat for 15 years it has been converted to 12v. Put a battery in and some fresh gas fired right up
willing to bring halfway or all the way for a few more dollars. Email me or call me @ (970)230-0376 as you can see the paint aint the best was used for hunting 15 years ago and a half a** attempt at camo was done and the motor is a willys 4c but not the original for this year but still a willys motor”
UPDATE: Was $2500. **SOLD**
This has some good upgrades (toploader 4 speed, Overdrive, tilt steering, 11″ brakes). I think this might be a pretty good price if the body is in good shape (which appears to be the case).
“For Sale; cj3b 2300 pinto engine, 4spd toploader transmission, warn overdrive, 11 in brakes, rancho suspension.”
