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 No Price.
(04/23/2020) There’s a price listed of $2k on this later model 3B (1956-1963), but that’s just a placeholder. Seller says to ignore it.
“I have somewhere between a 48-52 willys Jeep. I’d rather sell whole than people coming over to pick at it. Make me an offer. I can deliver for a little extra. NEVER MIND THE PRICE THATS LISTED”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(06/10/2020) This custom oddity could be worth a look. It might make a good restoration project.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1597726797051226/
“Runs & drives great. 30 minutes on new motor. PTO…. Black tank is hydraulics, white tank for gas. Has gauges, etc… This is a one off, custom built by a car restoration company log splitter that was used for many years, then rebuilt & basically stored in the warehouse. Been started every year. This is a badass toy!!! I’ll dig it out from under the new clutter for the serious buyer”
Includes a new tub.

“motor turns freely, needs restoration, new tires, PTO winch, plow , good glass, spot light, safari top, have repair metal for inside fenders, frame great, good suspension, few spare parts. Message me with questions”
UPDATE: No one can remember seeing another grille like this and, so far, there’s no evidence of another grille like it. Per the comments, I’d agree this was likely home modded (and pretty well done at that).
Has an overdrive.

“1954 Willis Jeep CJ3B. Period correct Chevy 283 conversion from the 60’s or 70’s. This is a great example of a Willis that was converted years ago and is a survivor. Runs good and only has a couple areas of rust to add to the patina. Stock 3 speed with the original overdrive (rare) and working 4×4. New upholstery. Needs some wiring but otherwise road worthy. Current non-op in hand. Asking $5000 or trade.”
This was in worse condition when it was for sale in 2018.
