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 .
This might make a real nice project.

“1946 Jeep, civilian model, partialy dissassembled, needs complete restoration, complete with top bows and rear seat, $1600”
The starting bid on this unusual DJ-3A is $2499. I would be VERY interested to see the underside of this body to see what exactly happened to the rear of this vehicle. This has a picture of some kind of Atlanta Army Depot tag, but I don’t know if this is real or not. Note that I had to lighten parts of a couple of the pics, which is why they look a little odd.
“I am not sure what year model this is or model. I am going by what I have been told and what I have seen on the internet. I think it is a DJ-3A 2 wheel drive delivery Jeep somewhere around a 50 model. It does run and drive I have driven it around the parking lot some. I think it has a blown head gasket. I have a new extra engine still in the crate flat head 4 cylinder engine and 3 speed manual trans. I have this for sale local and will end it if it sales. It has some rust in the floors and a few other places as you can see in the pics. I do not have a title. Alabama does not issue a title for a vehcile older that a 75. I will issue you a Notarized Bill of Sale. E-mail me any questions you have.”
This appears solid, but the seller says there is some project(s) to do.

(08/19/2010) Here’s a nicely updated Wagon.
“1955 Willys Wagon – Flathead 226 Super Hurricane Motor. 3 speed manual transmission with overdrive. 3″ body lift. Runs well and is in good shape. Some minor rust but nothing major. Clutch was recently replaced. Looks good but is far from a show car.”
I’d hoped to develop some sort of Thanksgiving themed post to celebrate Thanksgiving, but as it turns out there really aren’t many images of jeeps dressed as turkeys … go figure.
Instead, I happened upon this NY Times story of a guy named Harry Allen and his dad’s truck. To get right to the point, Harry restored it ($40k) and it’s a beautiful restoration. There’s also a slide show that accompanies the story.
Gerald forwarded me some jeep-centric pics that you may or may not have seen.
Brett spotted this ad. There is one parts jeep and two running jeeps, though each of the running jeeps has issues.
“I have 3 cj5 jeeps for sale. A 60,62,63 F-head 4cyl style. I bought them for a project but due to my disabilities Its hard to work on them anymore.The 1960 Is all original and runs but has a rod knock.I shut it down right away when it happened to save further damage. It has the hard top with the doors. Original front Seats(full bench) have been recovered. I have title for it.
I bought a 1962(Dont have title so thats the best date I can give of 62 jeep) with the 4 cyl. F-head that is supposed to be good. It’s a parts jeep.
I also bought a 1963,(with title) that has been modified with a 6 cyl. the firewall had to be cut to fit the engine. It runs well but has some leaks. It has a hard top with no doors. All original except the engine,and seats have been replaced with high back bucket seats. The rear seat in it was taken out of a subaru brat. Has roll bar. New gas tank. will be a good runner with a little work. I also have 1 spare 4 cyl F-head engine in the garage that is froze up, but complete for parts. just sat in the elements too long or so I was told from the seller.”

This looks nice.
“It has a 231 V6 Buick, 4 speed manual, power steering as well as other upgrades. It is in good condition and runs good. ”
The person looking for this truck will pay a finder fee to find it.
