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: Still Available. This is a 2WD Jeep.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800
(08/26/2010) It doesn’t run. I’m not sure if the tailgate was filled in or this is a modified DJ body.
“I have 1946 Willys jeep that was left to me by my father. The jeep was last restored in 1987 so it does need work and currently does not run. Unfortunately, due to the current economy I need to part with it. Hopefully, someone is looking for a project vehicle as well as some fun doing it. Call Mike”
UPDATE: Was $600. **SOLD**
(09/12/2010) “Two Willys Wagons for the price of one! Both are non-running projects that I don’t have time to finish. ’57 is close to complete and stock, including engine and trans. ’62 has altered frame and suspension for off-roading, no engine or trans. Bring your trailer and take them both away. $600 OBO”
UPDATE: This now lives on the East Coast. I got to examine it up close at the 2013 Bantam Festival. The work is excellent. It was bought for $9000. It has more of a surrey look to it now.
I used the IMCDb.org site to attempt to locate an image of the jeep to the right from a shot in the movies. You can see a DJ-3A from Blue Hawaii (not a very good shot). Or the same shot enhanced and cropped to the left. Here’s a link to a shot of the Nutty Professor’s DJ-3A.
This flat fender (the one on the right) falls into the ‘unusual jeep’ category. Apparently, it’s a movie star!

UPDATE: Hog spotted this on eBay.
This has a few rough spots, but not bad for a midwest jeep.
“This is a 1947 Willys CJ2A Jeep. I’ve owned it for about 2 1/2 years and it always lives in my attached garage. When I bought it, the Jeep had been sitting inside a dry, attached garage for the last 25 years. I brought it home, put a new battery in it and poured some gas in the carb and it started right up. Since then I have put new brakes all the way around, rebuilt the wheel cylinders and master cylinder, rebuilt the carburetor, cleaned and sealed the gas tank, and rebuilt much of the front end. We entered it in the 2008 Frog Follies and people just flocked to it. I drove it around town until late last year when the clutch went out. Put a new clutch assembly in it and it’s ready to go again. I liked it because it is about 95 percent original. No one has modified the crap out of it like most of them have been.
It does have some rust present, but it is much, much less than most of its age. Very little rust-thru. I have a clear Indiana title in my name with the original serial number on it. My name is Jerry and you can reach me at 812-204-3300.”

No updates tonight (monday night)!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
“Husband passed away, have never started the jeep, but he always took it hunting until 2002. Very good condition.”
