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: Bill took a variety of pictures, including the speedometer picture below.

Bill writes, “Another victim of Katrina….I wonder if I could get a government grant to restore it? Found 10 miles from the epicenter of the storm. Was under 20 feet of salt water, never washed off until years after the storm. A few rare parts and a LOT OF ROT..”
Glenn spotted this one. The flattie was being parted out, but only the frame and a few other parts are left. The body parts have been sold. I thought it was unusual enough that i would post it anyway. It appears to be part DJ and part CJ.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $650
(10/27/2011) The seller believes these are CJ-2As, so I suspect they are DJs on CJs.
“1. CJ-2A Runs, needs carb rebuilt, floor pans, muffler system, gas tank, has one seat
2. Hardtop CJ-2A, have engine but out
Also have extra rolling frame with engine, transmission, transfer case, front and rear axles. Great winter projects.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $100
I think this is a mix of DJ-3A and CJ-2A parts.
“according to the serial number this is a 1946 willys cj2A. It does not have a title so it is for parts only. engine is in it and complete but unknown and some parts are missing but still has tons of useable parts for someone restoring an old willys.Tub is pretty rusted out but grill fenders and other body panels are salvagable.
you must take the whole jeep no cherry picking It does roll freely to tow I just pulled it out and moved it to where it is now.”
UPDATE: Was listed at $400. **SOLD**
No pics provided.
“Old willys 2wd (dj-surrey?). Originally purchased for the motor but no longer need. Flat four engine turns over but compresion now low (valve seating?). Tight steering, smooth trans and rear, recored rad., new master cyl., hoses and belts, added one wire gm alt., straight body with alot of rust and trashed seats. Some good parts if someone needs. $400 for all. “
UPDATE: The price is now apparently $1500.
It looks like it might have a DJ body.

This comes with emergency brake blocks (check front wheels).
“This is a totally rebuilt and customized 1959 Willys CJ3. I bought this for my wife several years ago and she is too petite to drive it. The engine & transfer case were rebuilt. Frame is clean and coated, no rust. It has a fiberglass tub and stainless fasteners, metal hood. 2″ lift kit. 2 sets of fog lights. Custom front and rear bumper that holds spare tire, two Jerry Cans and Jack. Front bumper has mounts for tow bar. Electronic ignition, point & parts included. Electric wipers. There is an alloy fuel cell installed in the rear seat area. I also have a gas tank that will fit underneath if you want to install a rear seat that I will throw in. Have manuals also. The top is brand new. Custom bucket seats with competition seat belts. This is a very clean Willys, the only rust is on the rims where the water lays when it gets wet. I have over $7400 invested. Asking $6800.00 or best offer. No low ball offers. I don’t need to give it away. A must see to appreciate, you won’t find another one like this one. Feel free to ask question, I will help anyway I can. Email or Call 724 263 2404”

The seller claims no rust. This could be a good price.
“40 -49 red jeep—4cyl motor—3 on the tree—2wd—been in storage for many years—no rust—will probably run with little tinkering—no title,but has 68 tag”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1100.
This looks like a DJ-3A that has the solid back.
“Ok so here they are together for those of you who looked at my ad for the one before. I now have both in my yard. The complete vehicle has rust on floor and sides. Dont know what model it is. The motor is an F head.that had a new head put on it by the previous owner. It will start for you with some effort but smokes badly. I bought it that way from a friend of mine, got it started and drove it around my yard in 4wheel high and low. Brakes had been repaired but probably need fluid as the pedal goes to the floor. The extra tub also has rust but is in much better shape and easier to repair. The floor is rusted out on both sides to some extent and would need to be cut and new metal welded in. That tub has a tailgate as seen in the photos and is probably a CJ2a or 3a. Chassis only has the axles. No trans. Is a roller. The front hood, fneders and windshield plus grill come with it and can be seen on the flickr site at this link along with other more detailed photos of the jeeps”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
(03/24/2011) It might not take all that much to get this body back to stock. The engine looks nice. The battery location is unusual and not really the best idea.
“Chevy 350 engine with 350 turbo transmission. Recently serviced, new plugs, new fuel cell, new fuel filter, new starter.”
