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 .
There’s been some work completed and more to go.

Roy Wililams shared some photos of his jeeps. The first two photos show the lightweight bobcat body Fred Weis built for Roy, the first lightweight racing Bobcat body Fred made.
Here’s a look at Roy and his racer. Great photo!:
This photo of Roy racing his jeep I found in a 1976 Sunfair booklet. The Sunfair was a 300 mile race near Yakima, Washington, that was first held in 1975. In 1976, Drivers met on Saturday, September 11, at 9am for tech inspection. At 10pm the drivers gathered to parade through downtown Yakima on their way to the course. Racing started at noon. Racers drove either 10 or 12 laps depending on their class. Based on the map below, it appears each lap was 23 miles.
Among the racers here is Don Bray. Roy and the Brays raced a few times over the years. Don’s son Ed shared these photos.
This is a CJ-3B Roy used to own:
Roy recently purchased this CJ-5. I’m looking forward to seeing it and meeting Roy in person!
Engine is blown.
“I have a great 59 cj3b jeep also known as a high hood. Not a great candidate for a perfect restoration but would be great for a hunting jeep or off road rig. Motor blew and po removed it and the radiator. The rest is complete. In the last few years a new gas tank and guage cluster was installed along with a few other parts. Body is pretty good but not rust free. Front floors are solid rear mda attention. Body is cracked by spare tire. All tires hold air. I was gonna put in a Buick 225 to replace he factory 4cyl but need to spend the time on my business. Currently loaded on my trailer and I can deliver for a fee or if close we can work something out. I have a bill of sale from the po and am willing to provide one myself. ”

“For Sale is a 1953 Willy’s CJ-3B. I have had the vehicle for many years with the intention of restoring it. The Jeep is titled in NC and runs good. This was a project vehicle and I have well over $4200.00 invested. The Jeep has new wiring, tires, pressure plate, clutch, shocks, brakes, master cylinder and lines, gas tank, drive shafts, yokes, seals, gauges, tail lights and much more. The body is in good condition for the age with some areas of rust. The manual lockout 4WD is absolutely awesome. The engine is very strong.”
