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: Price dropped to $650

UPDATE: Was $10,900. **SOLD**
(06/23/2011) For the price there really ought to be a front bumper.

This jeep is under cover garage only and we are the second owner around 9 years. If you would like appoinment to see our Jeep.”
UPDATE: Back on eBay
(05/18/2011) This has a solid looking roll cage. It also has a CJ-2A windshield, which means that cage is unusually tall, so the average top probably won’t work on it.
“I’m not sure where to start. I have owned this Jeep since 1998 and I have rebuilt or replaced just about every part on it over the years. THIS IS NOT A PROJECT Jeep, it is turn key and ready to go wheeling. Here are the main points:
-Rebuilt stock F-head engine, head rebuilt and decked, replaced rings but they didn’t seat well so it smokes. Currently running a progressive 2BBL Weber carb with cable throttle. Has manual hand throttle for crawling.
-Stock axles front and rear, 5.38 gears, front has been completely rebuilt with new R&P, axles, bearings, 2.5″x11″ brakes from 1976 Wagoneer, rear has Lock-Right Locker, new 10-spline axles & seals and 2″x9″ brakes from the front.
-Stock rebuilt transmission, transfer case and drive shafts, rebuilt clutch; shifts smooth, no grinding, no noise but drips a little.
-Upgraded master cylinder to a dual reservoir unit from a ’63 Caddy, all new brake hoses, stock parking brake was gone so I installed a Micro-lock to pass Tech inspection.
-I added a late model GM power steering box and pump with a cooler. Frame was completely boxed in front and new crossmember fabricated. All new tie rod ends, HD drag link, u-joint steering shaft, steers with one finger!
-Six point roll cage, rock sliders, reclining seats from an ’03 Jeep, dual spare Jerry cans, replacement plastic gas tank in stock location, swing away spare tire mount, stock wheels with reinforced centers. Tires are 32×11.50R15LT and are almost new.
-All wiring was replaced with a complete fuse box and harness from a mid ’70s GM sedan so all lights work, 12V alternator, has emergency flashers, electric fan, mechanical SW gauges and even a working horn.
-Front leaf springs are longer for more droop, all four spring mounting plates are reinforced and have slider plates to protect the oversized U-bolts.
-The windshield is from an earlier Willys but I have a cut-down 2A windshield frame I will throw in that I bought on E-Bay a few years back.
This Jeep has done most of the trails in Big Bear, CA, including The John Bull both directions, Odessa and Doran Canyons in Calico, Cleghorn (before it was closed), Truckhaven, the Panamints, Death Valley and more. I have had minor issues but it has never left me stranded on the trail. It currently has one locking hub in front and one stock drive flange because I broke a hub last time out. Either replace the hub or I have the other stock drive flange.
It comes with spare front axle shafts, the stock carb and linkage, spare u-joints, tierod ends and whatever I have stashed in the garage that came on it. I have clear California title in hand. Take a close look at the photos and if I have missed something please ask. The Jeep is located about 20min east of Pasadena, CA. Delivery is possible but we will need to work that out in advance.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2100.
It looks like the passenger side entrance has been modified.
“Body in fair shape. Needs TLC.”
UPDATE: Price bumpbed to $6900
(09/14/2010) This looks like a sweet CJ-3B.
