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 .

(04/23/2011) Here’s a good looking wagon.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2750
(04/07/2012) This is a project.
“Considering 66 years have passed since this CJ2a came off the line it is in nice shape. Why would you buy a Rhino or gator for your ranch when you could drive a piece of history, this is the first civilian jeep very much like the one our grandfathers won WWII in. Drive Train runs strong, has a slightly later F head engine with a side draft carb instead of a hole in the hood, brakes have been rebuilt, new carb. The front clip is nearly perfect, the tub has some welded in patches and needs some attention. I think the steering box is missing a tooth and the wiring could be redone, but otherwise it is pretty much complete.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(05/24/2012) The tail light set up is interesting. This looks in great shape.
“1985 Jeep J59 51,000 Miles CJ3b
In 1953 Mitsubishi secured the rights to build the Willys under their own name and the Mitsubishi Jeep was born. In the USA the Willys was built till 1965 but in Japan Mitsubishi had a good thing going so they kept the line in production till 1998. Mitsubishi installed the 5G52 Astron 2.0L 4 cyl These engines put out a much more useful 100 hp and moved these Jeeps down the highway comfortably at 110 km / hr or 65 mph.
This is a true turn-key off road capable unit. They have full time hubs Ready for the rugged out doors. Pick a trail and enjoy one of the best off-road vehicles ever made. The beauty of the Willy’s body style coupled with the strong and reliable Japanese engineered drivetrain using the D44 out back and the D30 up front, gear to gear t/case with a 2.3 low range, 4.77 differential gearing and you are ready for the great out doors.
Crawl down the steepest hill or race up the nearest dune, this gutsy miniature tank can handle it all. The very sharp approach and departure angles will be the envy of all and the superb break over angle will be hard to beat in any stock 4X4. This stock J59 can run 31” tires with absolutely NO LIFT.
Absolutely Mint Condition, runs as NEW. These Jeeps are some of the finest manufactured vehicles in the world.
$10,900.00

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
(06/14/2012) Am I missing something here? $5000 for this? I agree, the body looks good, though this doesn’t have a tailgate like it should. And, it seems to be missing leg room for the back seat passengers. And, it requires some assembly. And, … well, you get my point.
“Very nice original jeep virtually no rust. sits on sand blasted frame set up fo sb chevy have rebuilt 327 never run. complet stock frame with axles, 4 cyl engine, trans drive shafts. All parts for chevy powered or stock Jeep This is very very nice not junk I am 70 years old and have been there if you want to play games”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(03/22/2013) Is this a Maverick? It’s got two tone paint and two tone interior.
“This a 1961 Willy’s Wagon with original 230 flat-head six cylinder engine. I have replaced many general parts. It has been painted and new interior. Engine and transmission are very strong. This vehicle starts and drives great. You may also make a reasonable offer.”
We just got back to Seaside, Oregon, after a long trip down the Oregon coast. During our drive we squeezed in a visit to the Tillamook cheese factory, visited the Blue Heron cheese store, and dropped by to see the jeeps and planes at the Tillamook Air Museum.
The building at the Air Museum was very cool, as it is the largest wooden structure in the world. According to the website, “Stationed at NAS Tillamook was Squadron ZP-33 with a complement of eight K-ships. The K-ships were 252 feet long and filled with 425,000 cu. ft. of helium. With a range of 2,000 miles and an ability to stay aloft for three days, they were well suited for coast patrol and convoy escort. Naval Air Station Tillamook was decommissioned in 1948.”
The facility is now an air museum with thirty air craft. Also housed at the museum are two jeeps. One jeep is a very nice CJ-3A that may (or may not) have been used by the Navy. No documentation is provided to show what its history was, but its paint job suggests a Navy affiliation.
The second jeep, according to the documentation, is a “1944 Willys Jeep. However, you can quickly see this is a militarized CJ-2A. The only military Item I could see was the front grille.
Here are a few pics:
Blaine forwarded a picture of the Kapi JIP yesterday. The picture was taken at Bruce Weiner’s micro car museum in Madison, Georgia.
While Frederico Saldana is said to have patterned this after the American Army Jeep, it looks much more like a CJ-3B/Wagon hybrid.
