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 .
UPATE: Still Available
(03/11/2010) This looks like a good price. I’m not sure if this is a DJ with an extended rear mod or a CJ-3A with a the wrong year??

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $200
“1960 Willys Dispatcher DJ3A metal cab”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
If the VIN is original to the body, then this is a 1958 DJ-3A rather than a 1940s CJ-2A. Not that it really matters, as there’s not much here (except for a good VIN plate).
‘Hello, I am selling a rusty 1940s vintage willys.. Either complete or just selling some parts.. Overall its pretty rusted/shot however It does have the orignal rear end as well as many other parts.. I also have 8 Orignal wheels that are also for sale or that will just go with the jeep as well as many other parts.”
UPDATE: Colin reports the Surrey sold for $23,000 plus a $2300 buyer’s premium (see comments). Thanks for the followup!
Laurie pointed out some Willys at the Barret-Jackson website.

GREAT BODY WITH ONLY SURFACE RUST. NO HOLES IN BODY, VERY SOLID FLOOR PANS HAVE 2 SMALL RUST HOLES UNDER SEAT, OTHER THAN THAT VERY SOLID WITH ORIGINAL PAINT. HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO 12 VOLT. NOW THE PAINT IS FADED AND HAS SOME SURFACE RUST, WINDSHIELD IS CRACKED AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. IT HAS A BROKEN BRAKE LINE IN THE REAR SO I NO LONGER DRIVE IT. WITH MINOR REPAIR WOULD MAKE GREAT DAILY DRIVER OR RESTORE.”
UPDATE: Bill correctly notes that this is the same DJ-3A as pictured a few months ago, except that it has been painted and the price raised $100.
No motor. The body sure looks good. I don’t know what it takes to get this back over the border.
“Motorless Jeep style Mexican army vehicle. Papers are perfectly legal within Mexico borders. It used to work perfectly fine until its former owner took the engine to use it into another similar vehicle. It is a perfect project if you have the time, you’ll love to spend time with this relic. For further questions, you can reach me via this e-mail or by nextel: 152*14*24137, ask for Salvador.”

Here are pre paint images:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,500
(09/03/2010) The large dashboard speedometer and the cutdown entrances for driver and passenger suggest to me this is a DJ-3A body. Also, the windshield looks like the front portion of a DJ Hardtop. (see what it is supposed to look like on the CJ-3B).
“Custom Jeep Willys. 10,500 OBO gets this awsome jeep. New 3 spd T-90 Transmission and Dana Transfer Case, Tilt wheel, Power Steering , 2.3 Ltr Engine. Too much to list. Must see. Serious enquiries only please.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
(11/21/2010) This has been converted to 4wd. This appears to have the 60/40 bench seat.
“1957 Willy’s CJ3-D Jeep. 4 wheel-drive, 4 cylinder L-Head . Also has a set of military wheels, hard top with sliding doors, and tow bar. curent title and tags”
Brett spotted this project. I think at the very least the body is a DJ-3A. However, it shouldn’t have a PTO or the CJ-2A windshield. So, I’m gonna guess this is a combo vehicle of some type — probably a DJ-3A/CJ-2A.
“great shape willys flat fender $1300.00. needs some tlc. the axles were just totally gone through at six states. drivelines rebiult. basically i was going to do a ground up restoration but i have a baby on the way and this needs to go. so the frame, axles total under carrige is all done and undercoated. i just bolted the body back on without finishing it. so if your wanting a cool project that is started out right call. it does also have a pto winch. price these out and you are getting a hell of a deal. i have 800.00 just in the seat frames and having them upolstered. call me with any questions. thanks for the interest.”

The starting bid on this unusual DJ-3A is $2499. I would be VERY interested to see the underside of this body to see what exactly happened to the rear of this vehicle. This has a picture of some kind of Atlanta Army Depot tag, but I don’t know if this is real or not. Note that I had to lighten parts of a couple of the pics, which is why they look a little odd.
“I am not sure what year model this is or model. I am going by what I have been told and what I have seen on the internet. I think it is a DJ-3A 2 wheel drive delivery Jeep somewhere around a 50 model. It does run and drive I have driven it around the parking lot some. I think it has a blown head gasket. I have a new extra engine still in the crate flat head 4 cylinder engine and 3 speed manual trans. I have this for sale local and will end it if it sales. It has some rust in the floors and a few other places as you can see in the pics. I do not have a title. Alabama does not issue a title for a vehcile older that a 75. I will issue you a Notarized Bill of Sale. E-mail me any questions you have.”
