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 .
This body is worth a look.
“1948 willys cj2a jeep body also have a suzuki samurai frame go with it. $1000 for body or $1300 for frame and body. Willys has a good title just waiting to get it back from Frankfort so it will be in my name. ”

Seller notes there is a ‘set’, but no word whether there is four or five.
“Old school aluminum hurricane rims. Came off 1978 F150 4×4. We will sell as a complete set only.”

The body has a metal dash added to it.
“Fiberglass tub with metal dash, metal fenders, hood, grill, windshield frame, all in good shape, also a set of tires and wheels that are good for rollers.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200
Parts vehicle with no drive train.
“Rare 1953 Willys CJ3B Highhood Jeep. Rolling Chassis. No motor, transmission, transaxle or drive shafts are included. The floor of the tub is in pretty good shape with no rust through. The tub will need some attention though as the rear corners are pretty beat up. The differentials have been set up as spring over axle but I know nothing about the condition of the axle internals. The frame will need new shackle mounts all around as the current mounting of the springs to the frame is ugly.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $7000.
(02/16/2015) Refurbed, yes. Appears solid. Not restored to original.
“Complete frame off restoration. runs like new. The electrical system is upgraded to 12 volts with original cloth style wiring harness. I also added a limited slip to the back differential. This jeep is a runner and a ton of fun. I regret selling but I don’t have time to enjoy it.”

The windshield sure fits oddly. I wonder if the pivot points were moved forward.
“Rare Ford Jeep. Only made a few years. Call for details”

My cousin’s truck broke down on Friday. For him that is bad news, but it is also good news, because we’ve gotten to spend time hanging out. So, no updates until Monday.

This year the Bantam Festival has a fantastic lineup of early jeeps courtesy of Omix-ADA. The BRC built by Duncan Rolls, along with a host of other early jeeps should make for a great show.
