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 reader from Greece contacted me today. He is searching for a bare bones willys that he hopes to get and ship back to Greece. As an alternative, I suggested he try using ooyyo.com to locate a jeep in Europe. I haven’t used this search engine much, but in a search of greece, it did show a variety of Willys flatties and CJ-5s. So, I did a search on Willys in the US and I got a wide range of results, from way, way overpriced — almost confusing — to reasonable deals. For example, I have this CJ-3A from CDA listed at $10,000 , yet ooyyo has it listed at $20,000 and links it to this ad. Caveat Emptor!
UPDATE: Bill reports that this sold. He believes the top may still available.
(04/29/2009) This is a very nice Dj-3A and one of only a handful made in 1961 as noted by the seller.
“1961 WILLYS DJ3A DISPATCHER JEEP, Serial Number 56337 20287, I removed the hard top with plans to paint it black and get a black vinyl bikini top made, but as you can see in some of the photos, it had original military OD paint. So I thought I would offer it just as it is in case someone wanted to go back to original OD military style with stars and numbers. ….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800.
This is incorrectly listed as a later model.
“1951 Willy’s jeep. Currently in Kern county. ”
UPDATE: Was $4000. **SOLD**
It needs some body work. This is a lefty (spare tire mounted on the left).
“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A. Runs great original engine. Will need some under body work. Great project for someone who has the time.”
