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 $750.
This seems to be missing some parts.
“Runs and drives. No title. Good for parts or project. Kind of cool not to many around.”

This is a neat mailer.
“Original mailer non color folder , 8.5 x 3.5 folded , 8.5 x 11 unfolded . Shows Jeep from Russ Cooley Service Station , Hillcrest , Binghamton , New York.”
Pascal just purchased this jeep. Though it is four wheel drive, the serial number suggests it is a DJ-6. I looked up the serial number and I found one site that suggests the serial number is a DJ-6. Anyone know the DJ-6 serial numbers?
Pascal writes, ” I’m writing to you because I bought another jeep last weekend. (Yep my wife is still loving me…for how long? For a jeep life I hope!). I’m pretty sure that’s a DJ-6 1965 even if seller told me that was a CJ-6 1962. Serial number is 8605 10062. It’s also stamped on the frame.
It has two fuel tanks. It looks original. It also has 4×4 and I think a Meyer hard top. The mileage reads 29xxx miles. The motor’s serial number is 4J418884.”
UPDATE: These sold on eBay.
I believe this answers my question about the DJ-6 serial number. The DJ-6 model number is referred to as 8605.
UPDATE: Bill has an updated price structure for his book.
(10/31/2012) A couple weeks ago Glenn wrote me about a book he ran across call the “Doug and the Old CJ” by Bill Nelson. Based on Glenn’s recommendation, I wrote Bill and recently received a signed copy of my own. I still have a few books in front of it, but I’ll write a review once I finish it. I leafed through the book and it includes a nice collection of illustrations, too.
Bill published the book in 2009 and according to him, ” It was loosely based on my boy’s adventures with a 1960 cj5. Beyond a good kids story, I tried to present many mentoring lessons, shop safety, thinking out problems, it is ok to get flustered when talking to a girl, the proper way to talk to a girl, the value of knowledge, setting goals,and general constructive living.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
“Willys Truck (1960) Sits on a shortened Ford F150 4×4 frame and running gear. Motor is machine shop rebuilt fuel injected 5 liter (302). Trans is Ford AOD rebuilt at Norcal trans. A few of the features are a shortened bed, Mazda pickup rear sliding window grafted in, 280ZX hood inserts, custom headlight housings, minivan back seat serves as the truck bench seat and more. There was a fair degree of customization to the truck, however the motor, except for a necessary .030 bore increase at the machine shop, and the tranny was kept as stock as possible for durability’s sake.
I finished the truck around 5 years ago. I never used it a lot, but 2 ½ years ago it began to sit while I looked for myself a house. Now I’m in my house and it’s parked in my garage going to waste. The truck runs and drives and 4wheels very well but it needs some of the aftermarket mistakes and design mistakes I made, corrected.
There is less than 13,000 miles on the rebuild. Nothing was wrong, I just found that I am more interested in building the stuff than using it.
The paint needs re-done. I cheeped out on the paint and it didn’t survive the snowy winter that it set out side while I finished my garage. It needs a window replaced, replacement aftermarket power windows installed (I have new replacements), and aftermarket windshield wiper motor replaced (I have the new replacement). This should be considered a project truck as it has things to fix. The pic was taken approx 4 years ago.”
This has a fiberglass body. There’s some value here.

For the price, this might be worth a look.

This looks solid.
“Up for sale is my 1952 CJ3A. Body is in great shape, for being 60 years old. Just a little bit of rust in the driver’s side floor. Tub and fenders are uncut. L-134 flathead 4-cylinder rebuilt two and a half years ago. Runs great. Transmission is a T90. Clutch is good, and shifts fine. Front and rear end are the original 5.38:1 ratio. Soft top, with doors, is included.
Engine picture shows a paper-type air filter. That has since been replaced with the proper oil-bath air cleaner. More pictures are available to anyone seriously interested. Need to sell ASAP. Low retail in the blue book is $5,175. Drive it as-is, and go almost anywhere, or restore it. Just an honest, bone-stock ol’ flatfender.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This has a few light mods and is missing its windshield.
“I have a 46 Willys Jeep For Sale. Its all original and runs good. It is missing the windshield and frame for it otherwise its all there!!”
