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: **SOLD** Was $600.
This looked like an average parts jeep until I saw the bow holders on the passenger side.
“Doesn’t run. Titled in Colorado. Has most of original parts. Was going to build a rock crawler but kids came. I have no time to fix need to sell.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500
This looks good.

(06/07/2011) Glenn is selling his DJ-3A. glenns@tdstelme.net
“1962 Willys DJ3A Surrey, Body,Original Frame with SN# 21501 visible, Surrey Top Bows, Included also is Original DJ3A Front Axle, Rear Axle, and Side Shift T-96 B Transmission I purchased separately and am picking up on way to The Great Willys Picnic, Sunday, June 12. The bad side of the deal is there is NO Title, NO Data Plate, but repros are available (Would Read 56337-21501), and other than a few other misc. parts, what you see is what you get. The original frame is usable, though the front cross member has been replaced with a later unit to accommodate a steering sector which is included. The 4WD Axles included are probably CJ5. According to the folks in Maryland I bought this from, this Surrey was used frequently on a 60’s TV Show called Wonderama broadcast locally in the NYC and Baltimore areas, but I have not confirmed this yet. This was originally a true pink Surrey, built in the first third of 1962 production. A challenging restoration, you’ll be searching for many DJ3A specific parts, but here is a great beginning and only out and about because of this eWillys site along with Dave’s sharp eyes. The price is $2500 CASH, includes delivery to either The Great Willys Picnic or any where between there and my Maine location. Again: Bill of Sale ONLY!!! Email me glenns@tdstelme.net for phone contact and other information.”
UPDATE: Was $1500. **SOLD**
Unclear if this runs or not.
“All stock and together except right tail light lens and rear seats. Sound and fairly straight body. Needs front floor and tailgate patch panels. No other serious rust. 2 broken windows but they are easy to replace flat glass.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500

UPDATE: Back on eBay
(05/18/2011) This has a solid looking roll cage. It also has a CJ-2A windshield, which means that cage is unusually tall, so the average top probably won’t work on it.
“I’m not sure where to start. I have owned this Jeep since 1998 and I have rebuilt or replaced just about every part on it over the years. THIS IS NOT A PROJECT Jeep, it is turn key and ready to go wheeling. Here are the main points:
-Rebuilt stock F-head engine, head rebuilt and decked, replaced rings but they didn’t seat well so it smokes. Currently running a progressive 2BBL Weber carb with cable throttle. Has manual hand throttle for crawling.
-Stock axles front and rear, 5.38 gears, front has been completely rebuilt with new R&P, axles, bearings, 2.5″x11″ brakes from 1976 Wagoneer, rear has Lock-Right Locker, new 10-spline axles & seals and 2″x9″ brakes from the front.
-Stock rebuilt transmission, transfer case and drive shafts, rebuilt clutch; shifts smooth, no grinding, no noise but drips a little.
-Upgraded master cylinder to a dual reservoir unit from a ’63 Caddy, all new brake hoses, stock parking brake was gone so I installed a Micro-lock to pass Tech inspection.
-I added a late model GM power steering box and pump with a cooler. Frame was completely boxed in front and new crossmember fabricated. All new tie rod ends, HD drag link, u-joint steering shaft, steers with one finger!
-Six point roll cage, rock sliders, reclining seats from an ’03 Jeep, dual spare Jerry cans, replacement plastic gas tank in stock location, swing away spare tire mount, stock wheels with reinforced centers. Tires are 32×11.50R15LT and are almost new.
-All wiring was replaced with a complete fuse box and harness from a mid ’70s GM sedan so all lights work, 12V alternator, has emergency flashers, electric fan, mechanical SW gauges and even a working horn.
-Front leaf springs are longer for more droop, all four spring mounting plates are reinforced and have slider plates to protect the oversized U-bolts.
-The windshield is from an earlier Willys but I have a cut-down 2A windshield frame I will throw in that I bought on E-Bay a few years back.
This Jeep has done most of the trails in Big Bear, CA, including The John Bull both directions, Odessa and Doran Canyons in Calico, Cleghorn (before it was closed), Truckhaven, the Panamints, Death Valley and more. I have had minor issues but it has never left me stranded on the trail. It currently has one locking hub in front and one stock drive flange because I broke a hub last time out. Either replace the hub or I have the other stock drive flange.
It comes with spare front axle shafts, the stock carb and linkage, spare u-joints, tierod ends and whatever I have stashed in the garage that came on it. I have clear California title in hand. Take a close look at the photos and if I have missed something please ask. The Jeep is located about 20min east of Pasadena, CA. Delivery is possible but we will need to work that out in advance.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600.
(07/08/2011) It’s a project.
“This is a project 1962 Willys Jeep M170 what latter became the CJ6 but it has a lot of stuff to put it together.
Axles
Rear-Art Morrison Big Web 9″ with Torino Ends and Strange 31 spline shafts. has a 3rd member but it needs gears
Front-HP D30.
Transmission
Chevy NV 3500 (5spd)
T-case
NV231
Engine
Fuel Injected 4.3 from a mid 90’s Blazer, I have the complete wiring harness, fuel pump, computer, everything.
also comes with
two steering columns (one from the Blazer), two radiators (one from a FSJ), orginial gas tank, hood, grill, fenders, tailgate, a NOS Medics top, brand new doors, windshield, peddle assembly, exhaust, older Master Craft Seats.
The bad is the body, as this is one of ~5000 or so built it is quite rare and hard to get body panels. but if your good at body work then you should be able to figure it out.”
