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 .
Looks like a cool old sign featuring a CJ-3B (okay, so it is in the background, but I still think of it as being the featured item).

UPDATE: Still Available.
Looks like there’s value here.
“Time to get your restoration going, just in time for fall. I have decided to move on from this hobby and am selling all. I have two CJ3B’s in Portsmouth, the third is in Washington NH with the Car Trailer.
In Portsmouth:
1953 CJ3B Green with Cap and Plow- The motor was seized so has been sitting with Marvel Mystery Oil to free it up. This could be a great plow truck or candidate for restoration has a rare middle seat addition.
1963 CJ3B Red Mahindra Jeep. I had this running off a small fuel can, but the starter seized up so currently is not running. Someone before me spent a lot of time with the Body Filler. This would be a good restoration base or with a little work on the road now.
In Washington:
1955 Willy’s CJ3B this was a restoration project that started with a motor swap. A running motor was swapped in and the project stalled. Has now been sitting for ten years, Could be restored with the right hands.
Single place car trailer with brakes. The right front hub was seized up and it will need some tires. Has been sitting for a year with no use in five before that.
I also have some new parts: Tune up kit, Fuel lines, Hood Welting, Hood Blocks
I have two or three bins of other parts from various restoration projects. Some of these parts are in my garage in Greenland.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7200
(10/14/2016) Looks like the gas tank has been moved to the rear.
“After much consideration, I am selling my 1953 Willys jeep high hood. This is a full resto-mod. It has a 1963 327 Small block Chevy with a four speed. Power steering, tilt column, custom bumpers, relocated boxed fuel cell and a rancho suspension. It has a dual exhaust, new best top, warn hubs, wiring harness and the interior is rhino lined. The paint is fresh and is the factory color, Lozun red. You will be hard pressed to find one this nice and tow ready. The tow yoke is fully wired to operate all lights.
The tires are new Mickey Thompson Baja claws with pro comp powder coated steel wheels including the spare. I am the second owner. It was built to tow behind my father’s rv. I have been told this motor is out of a 63 corvette. The intake manifold matches corvette motors issued at that time, but the motor is a common 63 327 Sbc. I do not need help selling it. Please, no dreamers or tire kickers. Email me first then we will exchange info and set up a time to see it. If you want specific photos let me know and I will get them to you. ”
