About eWillys
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.
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 .
“Jeep project. This is a 1965 titled as a DJ3A. I was told it was a UN Jeep originally. Presently has a Chevy 283 that starts and runs well. The running gear is the military 4WD with bumperettes and pintle hitch. Previous owner removed the brakes to upgrade to disc but never finished. It will need a master cylinder and brakes on all four wheels. The original brakes are with it and could be put back to original very easily. It is a roller with nice Crome wheels and decent tires. I am moving and lost my shop or it would not be for sale. Please only text if seriously interested.”
This appears to be a Dj-3A convertible with 4WD added.
“willys jeep complete body and axles just needs your engine and tranny Offroad, atv, utv, the body and frme is in good condition with no holes or structural defects. perfect for a jeep project”
“Great project Jeep. I can see that it’s a 4 cylinder, but not familiar with old Jeeps, so no idea on engine size. All engine parts and transmission are in place, but take a good look at pictures. Solid body and frame, best I can tell. Floor pans and bed still there, no rust holes. Tailgate fine, no cracks in windshield. The title says the body style is “LL”, but I can’t find any such bird. From my research, it looks like a “DJ-3A”, so that’s how I described it. Sold as is, buyer has to come get it or arrange for shipping.
On Mar-08-19 at 18:44:18 PST, seller added the following information:
After receiving a few good questions about the Jeep, I have a little more information. New pictures of the odometer and ID tag have been added. Best I can tell, the serial number is 56337 11093. The odometer reads 16610.1. It may have rolled over, but this is what it reads now. But you never know, cuz it’s exactly as old as I am, and I’ve rolled over many times! Since it’s been sitting in the same spot for 8-9 years, the tires have settled into the dirt several inches. That said, I looked over the frame best I could, and it looks straight, with no cracks or welds where they don’t belong. Although I have the title in hand, I haven’t located the keys yet. Hopefully I’ll find them by the time one of yall show up to pick it up. Good luck, and thanks!”
(03/03/2019) It’s been modified into 4WD. It has the rare 0-8 KS speedometer.

Mike spotted this 1960s photo on Facebook. It shows some DJ-3A Dispatchers doing pizza delivery work for Volcano Pizzeria, a North New Jersey pizza place in the 1960s. Mike notes there were a lot of pizza jeeps in the area at the time.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Starting bid was $6500, no reserve.
(02/09/2019) This looks to be a nicely updated DJ-3A with 4WD.
“1960 Jeep DJ3. Currently Registered with vintage California Yellow plates.
134 ci Go Devil 4 cyl engine which runs smoothly.
CJ2a 4×4 Running gear. 3 speed on the floor with High and Low range.
Totally rust Free and no dents.
The Vin number matches the title and registration.”
The 0-8 speedometer, windshield, tail lights, and some other parts look original. It’s been converted to 4WD axles. This is 50 units after my DJ-3A Rusty.
“Willys 1956 dj-3a with title. This willys is very complete for it’s age.
I am willing to trade for a 1976-1983 Jeep CJ5.
This Willys started life as a 2wd. Prior owner cut out firewall and welded in a firewall from a 4wd. Front and rear axles are both from a 4wd M38.
Front and rear axle/diffs are complete. It rolls really well. This is a roller. No engine, transmission, or transfer case. I never had them.
I have owned this for 5 years and still have not gotten around to fully restoring it. I am slowly doing work to it though.
I repaired and reinstalled the original front bumper a couple days ago. The bumper is painted in primer. The rear bumper is new and is painted in primer as well. Continue reading →
UPDATE: Still Available on eBay. The Buy-it-now price is $9500.
This Drag Jeep was featured on Road and Track. Labeled a 1957 DJ-2A, the year, the serial number (56337 11539), and the body style mark this as a 1956 DJ-3A.
“It’s time to part with my very first street rod. I bought this in 1982 right out of high school. Over the years it has morphed into what you see here. Continue reading →
