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 .
It looks like it has a DJ-3A convertible body and a DJ-3A grille.

“No paperwork. Jeep has been setting for 20 years. It took a bit to the front. Frame is repairable. Trans to transfer case is broken but might be repairable.”
This is a modified DJ-3A.

“The jeep started life as a 1957’s dj3a and was converted to 4wd later on. I have 5 rims and tires, fiberglass hardtop with wooden doors, doors need new wood. I also have the front windshield that goes with this set. i was thinking of keeping this unless i could find or trade for a regular fold down windshield. also have 4 stock leaf springs. make me an offer on this stuff. I need it gone.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
(10/05/2016) The red jeep has a DJ-3A body.
“two Willys jeeps for sale. They are rough but I was gonna make one out of the two. The blue one is a 1946 CJ2A, I have the data plate for it, but no title for either. I don’t know the year of the other one. The 46 has a bad frame but the other one is good. Neither one is running. There is also another set of axles and a set of 15in. powder coated wagon wheels goes with them. $1500 firm for all.”
Jordan spotted this later model DJ-3A that’s been mistakenly listed as a 1945.

“Runs great and drives need restoration 4200 or best offer takes it”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $600.
This was a convertible DJ-3A. There might be some useful parts left, as few of which are unique to the DJ-3A.
“I have 1950s Willys Jeep for sale. It’s a solid project!No rust. Was gonna Rat Rod it.She’s looking for a new home, way too many project’s, need to downsize. Asking $600.00 OBO. Make me an offer.”
This might have a DJ-3A body. Not sure there’s much value here.

“Parts Jeep or make it roadworthy. It needs a total rebuild. It has sat out back for many years. Am guessing about the year. The numbers on the motor say it’s 1948. It’s a parts Jeep. There’s no title. I added pictures to show the frame needs work. But hay, it’s 71 years old”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
Converted to 4WD.
“This is a 1956 Willys Jeep with an in-line 4 cylinder. It has been converted into a hunting Jeep. I have replaced the carborator. Master cylinder, ignition switch, battery and oil. The Jeep runs great, the 4×4 works well. It has a shooting chair for the back and you can see it in the pictures.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $4000.
(07/06/2019) It’s listed as a 1945, but that’s a DJ-3A body.
“Frame off restoration, 500 miles on marine V-6 engine, 600 CFM carb, new clutch, brakes, tires & seats with 4-point harness, Pantera exhaust, new aluminum radiator, 1988 rear-ends, custom rear storage, roll bar, off-road lights, lighted whip, car cover”
DJ-3A body on a 4WD chassis?

“Willy’s Jeep needs work only real rust is by doors on floor pan”
UPDATE: This appears to be still available.
(06/30/2019) Tom shared this oddity. This seems to be a late model DJ-3A body and windshield (design for a Koenig top) mounted on a (probably) CJ-2A chassis with a Meyer Half-top. That’s a combo I don’t think I’ve seen before.

“Hubby final realized he does not have time to restore his dream toy so he sadly is selling ….1946 jeep willy. Does run does drive. Has and 1946 plate also. 5,000 or best offer. No tire kickers. Can be driven home….it has original drive train…Guess I forgot to say No trades…cash only!”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(09/07/2019) This jeep is listed as a Surrey, but I see no evidence of it being a Surrey. Being this late of model, it should have the heater intake vent on the passenger side. But, it seems to lack that.

“For sale 1963 Willys Jeep DJ3. Has been completely disassembled, cleaned, painted, rebuilt and restored in 2013. Everything is new top side and bottom side. The original 4 cylinder 2.2l engine, 3 speed manual transmission and rear end are still in the Jeep. It runs and drives great!! Plenty of power, smooth thru the gears and a blast to drive.
