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 .

1952 CJ-3A on the left and a 1962 CJ-3B on the right.
In the ‘it’s a small world’ category, David Darrah grew up barely a mile from where I did in Renton. His father Ray was a charter member of the Seattle Rump Bumpers Jeep Club, so he’s had jeeping in his blood from birth. Where David lived was just a street over from George Steele. George has been involved with jeeps a long time (and still is — I talked with him this summer) and my parents knew him pretty well. As a teen, David knew George well also, occasionally begging him for discounted parts for his first jeep, a 1942 MB.
A few years ago David had a chance to buy a green CJ-3A that George had rebuilt back in 1996 (though George no longer owned it). Despite owning several different flat fenders over the years (see end of post), just owning one jeep wasn’t enough, so David recently bought a second one Willys, a 1962 CJ-3B that needed a little bit of work. David feels like he’s well on his way to owning a ‘collection’ of jeeps. He just needs some more room (don’t we all!). David lives in Puyallup now, so I’ll be getting down there at some point to talk jeeps and see these in person. Thanks for sharing David!
1952 CJ-3A with some modern touches added by George Steele:
153 cu. in. Iron Duke 4 cyl, T14 3-spd, Dana 18 T.C, manual saginaw steering, Cherokee 11 inch drum brakes, Warn Hubs and Overdrive. Stock Dana 25/41 538 ratio. 3A needs nothing other than replace a few warn parts in Overdrive unit (growls a tad—still works good) Owned this Jeep almost 3 Years now.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
Appears solid.

“I have too many toys so i must sell a couple…I have a 1961 Jeep Willys 2 door wagon converted to a sedan delivery. Has the rat rod style look to it, with a newer patina paint job, semi gloss clear, and hand pinstriped all over. Fronts been subframed with camaro, back has been subframed with half ton chevy truck. Older rebuilt camaro 350 and 350 turbo. Very dependable and road worthy. Has disk brakes up front and are power, power steering. Tilt column, New gauges. Interior has been done, high back buckets out of king cab truck with stitched pinstripe on back of headrests. Has won a trophy at every car show ive attended with it. But its time to give it a new home and let someone else have as much fun with it as ive had. It attracts attention everywhere it goes…be prepared to spend time with on lookers! No low ballers please, this thing is rare and awesome.”

“WOW this 1948 Willys CJ2a will make someone, Maybe you?, a real nice rock crauler, mudder, or just a very cool four wheel drive. It is missing a few pieces. Seats and gauges are missing. It does have a small block chevy in it. I believe to be a 283 or 327. The rest of the drivetrain is stock. The engine is free and turns. But has water in the pan. I am selling it as a project. Or parts only. Has no title. I do have pics that can be text to any interested party. Please feel free to call with any Questions. Negotiable!”
