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 .

Here’s a beautiful truck for sale out of Ohio. More large pics on the craigslist ad.
“I am offering for sale this 1963 Willy’s Jeep PU truck, which I have owned since the early 80’s. Shortly after purchasing this truck I did a complete body off restoration. Every nut, bolt and mechanical part on the truck has been completely restored like new or replaced. The frame, all sheet metal components including the cab was sandblasted at the start of the restoration. All this including the mechanical work has been done in a professional manner. The engine has been completely rebuilt, the transmission refreshed and driveline joints replaced….”

I went out today to start the jeep. The battery was completely dead. This is the first time I have had any problems with the battery. Something drained the battery significantly. The only change I have made was plugging in the head lights, so I will have to do some more investigation into this.
But, I don’t give up easy. I wanted to run the engine, so I jumped the jeep and got it going.
I ran it half way around the block to help charge the battery.
Exactly half way around the block I ran out of gas. I knew my gas guage sender needed to be adjusted, but I still thought I had a little more gas.
I coasted to a stop … alternatively laughing and cussing.
So, I went and got gas from my garage, got the truck, put in some gas, jumped it once more, ran it home and put it quickly to bed. Tomorrow I go get a battery charger …. lol.
Gerald recently purchased some tires. They are Goodyear casings P 235 /75/15 with V-Grip Hot Cap retreads from Import Export Tire in Latrobe, PA. This is a different seller than the Stone Tire Company I highlighted a few months ago.
Gerald writes, “The Rims are Appliance brand 13 spoke Manufactured by the W.R. Grace Co. in 1976, Max Wheel Load 1580 lbs. Model 1058V5 15 x 8.5 wide. The are 5 x 51/2 Bolt circe with a 3 1/2 inch offset. Lug nuts are a special washer and nut deal. Gorilla still makes them.”
Here’s a look at the casting
The Tires are Goodyear casings P 235 /75/15 with V-Grip Hot Cap retreads from Import Export Tire in Latrobe, PA. We always called the Mini Terra’s.
Here’s my 1963 3B Sporting the set-up.
We raced with these back in the 70’s and 80’s and finally found a place that would still do these.
Here’s some more pics from Gerald.
“Here’s a picture of me with the same tires back in 83. Taking the turn hard in our 46 2A.”
I have several sets of wheels and tires. Guess they are kind of like shoes. 225 75 15 mud and snow on CJ steel rims on my 3B before green paint next to my brother’s M-38.
Here’s the CJ-3B with 700 16 Non Directional military tread on 4.5 x 16 rims
LT 245 75 16 All Terrain on black spoke wheel 16 x 7, good tires but heavy,
700 x 15 bias ply Good Year work horse on old split rims with tubes, great snow plow tire for chains and drag racing,
33 12 15 bias all terain tires on 8 1/2 x 15 steel wheels I love these rims but the tires are just too big.
Finally my new set of mini terras. I have a couple more combos I would like to try but they will have to wait.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900.
Here’s a flattie crawler out of Georgia.
“1953 Willys CJ3A Jeep. Lots of custom work done to it. I got it in a trade a couple of years ago and haven’t done much with it since. 225 Buick odd-fire V6, rebuilt 3 speed transmission, Spicer 18 transfer case. Wagoneer Dana 44’s front and rear w/5.38:1 gears and full spools, high steer arms up front with high steering.

Some nice person out there stole them”
I’m pretty sure I’ve got this one listed elsewhere, but I can’t find it, so just in case. There’s not much of a description.
“1951 willys cj3a jeep 4×4 flathead 4 cyl $5500”
I’m not sure if it comes with the roll cage and other parts or not.
“1947 willys tub, great shape, title in hand. 360 500 7895. olee271980@gmail.com. lots of other jeep parts for sale too, call”
