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 .

(12/24/2018) This has a funky dash.
“1954 Willys CJ-3B Hi Hood. Great father son project, hunting or parade vehicle. 283 Chevy, three spd. transmission, two speed transfer case with a Ford overdrive. Jeep has 7.50 -16 Remington bias ply tires, Warn hubs and is currently non-oped with no back registration.
Windshield glass is broke and is incorrect windshield frame for the hi-hood. It is off an earlier model flat fender which could be good for taller drivers. Wheel tubs have been trimmed so the seats could move back.
Jeep is mostly stock except for the V-8, unsure of the gear ratios in the axles, drum brakes on all four corners and looks like stock type steering. Have never tried the over drive so not sure if it works. Jeep runs, steers and stops but will need to be trailered to its new home. Headlights, brake lights and blinkers work as well. There is a heater motor with fan that works as well.
Jeep has some neat little features that one of owners has done at some point such as looks like a car instrument/speedometer cluster has been set in the dash and looks like there is a clean rear sway bar to make handle smoother.
Jeep has a single fuel tank but we do have a second tank that came with it that could be mounted under the driver seat. Body seems to be fair with normal repairs, bondo spots etc. There is no top or backseat for the Jeep.”
