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 .
Here’s the first jeep I’ve ever featured from Puerto Rico and what a beauty it is.
“For Auction Beautifull 1960 Jeep Willys, it has been in the family since new, only one owner. It was recently restore by professionals. Everything in great working conditions.
The body looks a little beat up.
“Good condition with V-8 and automatic transmission and 35” tires. Runs and drives good.”
‘Complete frame off restoration. 3500 miles (yes 35 hundred) on rebuilt 2300 CC ford 4cyl: Novak 2300cc adaptor plate, Custom motor mounts, Bored 40 over (with torque plate), balanced/blue printed, RV cam, Vacuum Brakes, Hydraulic Clutch, Custom Steering system with Power Steering, new Weber carburetor, Front Spring Shackles Reversed, 6 point nascar tube roll cage, 3 point seat belts …”
It looks in pretty good shape.
“It runs very good. Excellent Condition. Brand New Battery. Kept Very Well. Very good Tires. Includes a soft top
This has some great upgrades, though it’s a little high for my tastes.
“JEEP CJ3B. ALL NEW OR REBUILT, TOP TO BOTTOM, END TO END. 289 ford eng.;
NP435 4 speed trans, w/ 6.68 –1 first gear; Dana 18 transfer case . W/ Overdrive; Model 44 rear diff, Model 30 front diff.; 410 gears; extra large front disc brakes; rear drum brakes; 6” lift, 35” tires. Between $24K & $25K invested. $12,500 obo.”
“Just prior to this sale all systems of this Jeep were gone through by a professional mechanic who made sure everything is working perfectly. This work included a new turn signal switch and a new electric windshield wiper motor on the driver’s side. The passenger side has the original hand operated windshield wiper. …. The drive train is all original and in very good working condition. A Petronix electronic distributor keeps the 134 CID engine running smooth and strong with less maintenance. The transmission and transfer case work perfectly….”

The seller lists this as a ’49. It’s not, but with the 5 gauges, it is an earlier (pre Nov 1956 CJ-3B). Motor seized.
“Motor rebuilt 5 years ago, have all the original paperwork. Jeep has been sitting for 4 years; motor locked up. Body clean, no rust new fuel tank, foam filled tires.
Asking $2000 or OBO or will discuss trade”
It appears someone got a good deal on a parts jeep or project. This sold very quickly.
“The Good – 53 willys Jeep, late 60’s Olds V-6 motor – the motor and drivetrain seems tight and good. It is complete, was driven until 2000. Will need to be thoroughly checked out after being parked for so long. Rollbar is in good shape. Have the original owners Oregon Title, I got the vehicle from her son when I bought his house. The bad – no keys, the throttle pedal needs to be re-attached to floorboard, did I mention the brakes – need rebuild. Kids shot the windshield glass w/BB gun 2×3 times, tires are OLD, will probably need a distributor. It needs seats, the old seats are trashed. It has some cancer, but the diamond plate covers it well.”
UPDATE: Congrats Jim!
This is another nice makeover by Jim. It’s been sold (see comments)
“… Extremely original factory stock drive train, 4 cylinder F head, 3 spd transmission, model 18 transfer case, 6 volt electrical. Starts right up, engine is quiet, smooth, no smoke, runs, drives, steers, stops great, everything works as it should. Originally from Arizona desert so no rust, none, zero, body, floorboards, frame etc. are all completely rust free. New military canvas seats, 5 days old ….”
