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 .

Apparently, this is a Navy CJ-3A. It appears there is a data plate above the standard data plate on the dash that could very well document this. That said, it seems like it should be painted navy colors rather than in a cammo pattern.
“Fully reconditioned 1953 Willys Jeep. Originally assigned to the Navy. Restoration includes rebuilt motor, transmission, rewiring, steering and suspension. Non-directional military tires, tow hitch, and roll bar. Runs great, super fun to drive!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
This looks like a good price.
“1953 Willys Jeep CJ3A, 225 buick V6 hasn’t been started in a while but ran good last time it was. Don’t have the time to put into it or even get it started for sale as is 1000 firm.”
This looks very solid. The seller listed this as a ’42.
“This Jeep would be great for someone looking to do a restoration project. The engine and transmission run, only 57,456 miles on the vehicle with good tires. I put in new seats and gas tank. The only thing it needs is a new fuel line which would be really simple to do on a vehicle like this. With work and school I dont have the time to play with it anymore. I am asking 5,000 or you can throw me an offer. phone: 402-250-3674.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.
I just found an earlier posting for this Jeep I had done last year. It was priced at $4600 in July 2009. So, the price has dropped quite a bit. It was listed as a 1952 at that time.
It appears someone has put some money into this build. It looks like it comes with a winch and nice cage. Replacing the brakes is a pretty cheap project. This might be a steal!
“This was confiscated in lieu of debt from an old friend in 2005. The last time it drove was 2006…from Minco to Bridgecreek. It drove GREAT…although it had and still has no brakes. It’s only been started two or three times since then. I’m not mechanically inclined enough (or at all) to get it running to sell for more. It definitely needs a new fuel pump, carbeurator cleaning, plugs, and new lines in and around both…as they spew fuel when running. I believe the gas tank to be the culprit for the fuel problems…its rusted out pretty good. New Tires, Winch, Motor Rebuilt in 2003. Please give me a holler if you’re truly interested. I encourage you to come take a look. I can get a hold of some more pictures if needed.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
