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 .
Craig shared this ad. Could be worth a look.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500
This has had lots of custom work. The grille has been pushed forward, so the fenders and hood (Bobcat fiberglass) don’t meet at the grille.
“Trail ready flatfender. 289 mustang V8 with racing goodies. Spicer 18T-case. T-18 truck trans. Power steering. Lockers, Dana 44s, warn gear drive winch, YJ springs ride real nice. Full cage. Disc brakes all around. It’s nice , but not too nice to have fun with. Low gears so no highways, I think 5:38. I want to start another project.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6500.
(12/13/2016) Looks like someone opened the hood and began spraying the engine compartment an OD color. The bottom side of the hoses are still black.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(02/28/2017) This has an APU hood, which was formerly for sale on its own, but now the jeep is for sale. The jeep itself doesn’t appear to be an APU jeep.
“Selling an early 50s CJ3a parts jeep. It is only good for parts. The springs, frame, and body are all junk. It has a F-head engine with a USAF APU hood. The engine is stuck. The transmission, t-case, and axles all look ok. It has a Fisher plow frame welded on the bumper and a plow pump on the engine. It has good 16″ wheels and lockout hubs. The Kelly hardtop could be saved, it is for a cj-2a I think. $500 firm, cash only in Colchester, VT. Bill of sale only. I can load it on your trailer.”

(03/16/2017) Runs and drives, but requires hand signals. It is licensed as an ATV.
“This machine was built in 2005 and was titled as a special construction ATV, it is street legal (currently requires the use of hand signals for turn signals) the power plant/trans are out of a 2004 mustang fuel injected 3.8 V6 with approximately 60,000 miles, it runs and drives great and is mechanically sound, this jeep just needs someone to take the time to finish it and make it there own, it has a custom tow bar and it flat tows great, it has tons of power and is fun to drive, clean title in hand $4000.00 obo’
Price may be good. this might be a DJ body on a CJ chassis.

“1964 Willys for sale. It has a chevy 350 engine in it. Here is the rundown. I have owned it as a project jeep for about 6 months. I overpaid for it (my fault), and paid $4,200 for it, I have put roughly $2,500 into it from parts and paying a buddy (mechanic) to help (not including my own time). I am selling it because I am trying to buy a plane ticket for my girlfriend to go to the East Coast to see her grandma one last time. So, basically I need the money. I am up front and honest about the condition of the Jeep. The good and the bad about it. Ill start with what I have done to it/what is good about the jeep. The jeep does run, and I would say it runs well, but obviously it is not a finished project.
