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 .
A column written by John Marvin Rast for the Spartanburg Herald-Journal on May 30, 1942, demonstrates how convinced even the public was about the jeep’s potential.
This photo of an overturned jeep was published in the Sydney Morning Herald.
This has a Navy tag. Seller also has DUAL REAR WHEEL ADAPTERS for sale.
“For sale is our 1953 CJ3A Willys Jeep. It is currently registered non operable but the registration has been kept current. A Buck 231 V6 conversion was done back in the 80’s but the conversion was never fully completed. It was driven after the conversion but only a few hundred miles. The Buick v6 and transmission were rebuilt during the conversion. The brakes were upgraded to 10″ brakes and a Warn overdrive was also added. The Willys was also painted yellow at that time. Note, the windshield assembly came from a CJ2A. This Willys has been stored covered or indoors since the 80’s. This is a great Willys Jeep for someone looking for a restoration project. The body is in very good condition. The vehicle currently is not running (I haven’t tried). Looking for a good new home.
Asking $4200 OBO.
Also Available:
Dual rear wheel adapters and metal fender extensions. Previously this Willys had dual wheels installed.
Koenig metal top with door and artic gas heater (was functional back in 1978) with chimney also available. This would probably only be interesting to a collector.”

Has a Toyota engine and lots of surface rust.
“1958 Jeep DJ-3A. This is a left hand steer, two wheel drive variant of the flat fender CJ-3A . It looks the same but is much easier and less expensive to restore than it’s four wheel drive brothers. It currently has a Toyota 20R motor and 4 speed transmission, it’s not running so I don’t know the condition of these items. Mounts and adapters are readily available to install any engine and transmission that you’d like (I have a Chevy 4.3 V6 that you could negoiate me out of). The old gal is a bit ruff but completly restorable. Tow bar included, tows smooth and easy.”
