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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
Seller notes there is some body rust, but the jeep shows well in the pics.
“1957 Willys CJ-3B. Runs great, motor rebuilt around 2012. Many new cosmetic improvements: new seat foam and canvass, repainted transmission cover, new shifter boots, new paint-in bedliner, new seatbelts. Transmission and transfer case were recently gone through and work great. The frame is solid. Runs and rides great.
The body looks good, but there is rust. If you are looking for a restoration project, plan on doing body work. Someone has used body filler and painted this Jeep. It looks good, just know that the body is not solid metal.
This would be a great Jeep for a restoration project or to enjoy as is. It certainly catches people’s attention.
The true mileage is unknown. Odometer shows about 13,000 miles, but it’s probably more like 113,000.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $12,500.

This is likely one of the Mitsubishi jeeps imported by Paladin Trucks out of Georgia. Thanks to Tom for that link.

“Rare find – 1983 Mitsubishi Willys Jeep J59. Low mileage (73k shown is kilometers, which equates to 46k miles). Clean Georgia title. Imported from Japan, right hand drive. No issues, drive it frequently around Blue Ridge. Stored under cover (car cover included). Will provide contact info for a local mechanic who knows old Jeeps, so no worries about maintenance. Only selling because I just got a new trailer, don’t have room to park it anymore. Great vehicle, loads of fun!”
