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 $550.
Seems like a good price.
“This would be a good project or parts vehicle.”
Top rims pictured need a closer examination.
“I have 4 WWII combat wheels for a Willy MB and Ford GPW. In the first picture, the bottom two rims look goo. The top let rim has a very small amount of metal eroded away around the valve stem hole. The top right rim has holes (you can stick your fingers through) around the valve stem area (shaded area in picture)”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Looks to have value. No title.
I have an old Willy’s jeep CJ2A I need to sell. Been in a barn over 20 years till the barn blew down. It does not run and cannot find title but it is a solid jeep for its age.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Best Offer.
It’s a project with a DJ body on a CJ (of some kind) chassis.
“Up for sale is my completely stripped down 1956 CJ-3 Willy’s Jeep Project. This has been sitting in my workshop for long enough, so its time for someone else to take it over. I learned a lot on this project – the biggest thing being that I don’t have time for a project like this!
The engine was removed in the fall of 2013 and the block planed and bored by Monarch. The head was planed as well. You get everything you see in the pics. It should be everything you need to rebuild with the exception of a gasket kit and either a new exhaust manifold or a heat riser kit to repair the one that you see on the bench. The body seems to be from a DJ best I can tell, but the chassis and running gear is definitely CJ (i.e. it is 4WD, etc and all the data plates point to CJ).
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
Contrary to the license plate, this jeep appears to have plenty of time left.
“Took out of service a few years ago it needs Front brakes and fuel sending unit. Been sitting in my garage for about 3 years and ran great when parked for repairs. It’s got all new steering joints, Lost interest after that. Three speed in-line six”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700.
(10/24/2014) The body looks a little rough.
“Selling my one of a kind rat rod. 1953 Willys CJ3B high hood jeep with a 1934-1936 international pickup cab welded into the tub of the jeep. The jeep is equipped with a 283 Chevy motor with an edelbrock aluminum manifold and 450 cfm edelbrock carb, close ratio 4 speed manual trans, dana twin stick transfer case, and warn overdrive. The jeep also has new rancho 2 inch lift leaf springs on all four corners. 31/10.50/15 tires on chrome wheels. The jeep has been converted to hanging pedals with hydraulic clutch, GM title steering wheel and a bench seat made to fit with the jeep. Now for the International cab I have the windshield frame in place connected to the cab, original back glass, chrome peep mirror and inside mirror, cowl windshield piece and a few other pieces and both original doors. I have a really cool old trunk I put in the back of the bed for extra storage. This rat rod does run and drive and is preaty dam fast!! All lights work and could be street driven if desired (would not recommend driving on the highway). I have a clean Colorado title for the 53 Willys”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(03/25/2015) Body and front clip are all fiberglass. Motor needs rebuild.

<– Day 6 – Fri. Apr. 17th: Art Fair in Alamogordo, NM | TRIP OVERVIEW | Day 8 – Sun. Apr. 19th: Resting and Recovery –>
Ann and her aunt Cindy with Smokey Bear in the background
I was feeling better Saturday morning, so rather than rest, Uncle Fred and Aunt Cindy joined Ann and I for a short road trip into New Mexico’s mountains to hunt down a former gold town called White Oaks.
Today we completed a grand circle through part of New Mexico.
The first hour of the trip consisted of flat New Mexican landscape and an even less interesting highway. However, the company kept that part of the journey interesting.
Sign in Carrizozo.
We stopped in the tiny town of Carrizozo to grab some Advil, as Fred has suffered a serious and life-threatening elbow injury at the hands of his grandchildren, whom Fred has discovered are now big enough to mob him and take him down. And by life-threatening elbow injury I mean the injury effects his dominant arm, thus it seriously curtails the ability for him to eat or drink with it (hence, threatens his way of life).
It turned out that the arm injury was a blessing for the rest of us, because as Cindy and I sat in the Jeep waiting for Ann and Fred to return, we spotted a donkey (or ass??) on top of a building a block away that was off the well-traveled highway. When Ann and Fred returned, we decided to investigate.
Donkeys on the roofs of both buildings in Carrizozo. There were also donkeys on the sidewalks. You might also recognize this area from the movie “The Book of Eli” which was filmed along this street, though there were facades added in certain areas.
More donkeys and other sculptures in a hidden alcove.
Don was asked to share pics of his 1961 wagon. It sure looks great! He included a photo of an earlier jeep as well. He’s owned 19 jeeps over the past 35 years. He’s currently working on a 1962 truck. I’d say he’s got a serious case of the Willys sickness!
I found both an ad for the Smokey and Tonka Jeep and an actual Jeep and Smokey.
1. Ad for Smokey and Jeep (If the museum has this ad, I didn’t see it).

2. Jeep with Smokey (seems a bit much given the wear?)
