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 .

Definitely some others treasures here in the photos, this could just be a few parts, but could be just what you need at times. Another DJ hanging out in the back ground.

“1951 cj3 Willy’s 4 cylinder Manual transmission Soft top $10,000 O.B.O”
This is powered by a Toyota diesel. It isn’t clear to me if this is a customer build or imported rig?

“Modified Willy jeep, diesel Toyota engine, 5 speed manual, only 3000 miles, amplifier speakers Have title”
Not sure if that is a serious price. At first I thought this had a “TMC” bed extension on the back. But, it’s so long, it may just be a custom addition. No description provided.

Andy shared these parts jeeps. It looks like one has the remnants of a Kelly hardtop. There’s a PTO winch also, which sits on the 3A.

“2 CJs to part out. Not much left. One has a ramsey winch. One has a 134f, the other a 6 cyl slapped in. No titles.”
UPDATE II: Price dropped to $16,500.
UPDATE: This was for sale in Fresno. It is now for sale in Sisters, Oregon. I suspect the seller is a new owner and is now reselling it, given the limited description. Note that the plates in the pics from the 2023 ad and present ad are the same.

“Killer old 51 Willys custom. 327 w/turbo 400 auto trans. Runs great.”
==========================
(Previous comments, description and pics from 10/2023): This is a classic Fresno-area build with the oversize glass in the windshield, the doors, and more. It may include a soft top. I see no evidence it includes a Muller top.
Very clean Jeep CJ3a, 2nd owner, owned by the seller over 50 yrs.
SBC 350, Turbo 400, Spicer 18 transfer case, Warn overdrive 25%,
Dana 30 front, fresh Dana 44 rear
(new bearings, gears and LSD), Warn winch, big brakes, clean paint, good tires, and new dual fuel tanks. Upholstery and carpet is 4 yrs old with very little use.
Can be seen by appointment in Fresno CA.
You don’t see many like this one for sale. Odometer just rolled over last week, perfect starting point for the new owner”
Not much a of a true classic, as it is assembled from various parts and customized. But, still may be worth a look if you don’t mind a custom rig.

“This classic Jeep was one of the first civilian jeeps made just after WWII. Originally aimed to put workhorses to pasture. Only made from 1949-1953. This is definitely a head turner. New tires in the last year, carburetor, hood latches, fuel tank, gas line, accelerator spring and brake work. Interior is in great condition. Tow bar included. My son put blood sweat and tears into this, but needs a daily driver. This Jeep qualifies for Hagerty classic car insurance which saves you a ton of money.”
