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: Still Available. Now on FB Marketplace.
Looks like a good price for these hard to find parts.

“Original cast iron 2wd front axle out of a 60s willys DJ3a delivery jeep
Perfect for a sand jeep,gasser or rat rod build
Pahrump 89048
Local pickup only”
The seller wants $59 for this, which seems a bit crazy, but the reason these photos caught my eye is that they show DJ-3A Galas crossing entering (crossing?) the water. Unclear whether this was for fun, for experience or a purpose. It may be some kind of beach-based road that floods at high tide? No description provided.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(02/18/2024) Unclear if the doors aren’t installed or missing entirely.

“1958 Willys Run good. It had a restoration many years ago. Possible trade. Pm. For details”
John shared what looks to be a DJ-3A body on a CJ-3A chassis.

“Selling this amazing non running survivor A CJ 3 with original unmolested drivetrain Engine turns with a wrench Gears move freely Brand new frame!! Tub in poor condition , but fixable No title or tags But everything can be done( I ll Tell you how I did my CJ 2!)”
This looks to be a DJ-3A converted to 4WD, among other changes. Has a Kelly hardtop. Thanks to John for sharing it.

“Runs, drives, stops, plows(kinda). Needs battery. Frame is very solid. Body isnt in very good condition but not horrible and floor is decently solid. Had 290 v8 put in at one point and i have no idea the mileage. It leaks coolant from the radiator cap and hydraulic fluid from one of the plow hoses but you can just take the plow off cause it’s not very useful. I just put a new fuel pump in it. It’s a 3 speed manual that shifts into all gears easily. It’s old as hell so it’s obviously not perfect. I was told that most its life it was just a farm truck. I got it as a project but i have too many going on and need to clear some vehicles off the property. I have the title from the previous owner and bill of sale. Would like it gone sooner rather than later so shoot me an offer. (i have the door for the back but it’s missing a hinge so i took it off)”
Here’s a pretty complete convertible, though no indication of a top and the top side bits are missing. Given the KS 0-8 speedo, I’d say this is a pretty early one. It’s missing the filler in the back; maybe it no longer has the rear tank?

(04/01/2023) Based on the year and the grille, this may have been a DJ-3A.

The price is a stretch, but this looks to be a convertible DJ-3A. Only one pic provided.

“The Willy has all parts. It began restoration years ago after a death in the family have decided to move on. We have the engine transmission. Everything don’t have much history on the vehicle other than it’s a very complete not much rust”
UPDATE: Price dropped to **SOLD** Was $2000.
(01/18/2023) This is an early DJ-3A. It’s a project. It has no engine.
“1956 Willys DJ3A “The Dispatcher” Slated as a light delivery vehicle this is the first year for this model of Willys. The production number stamped in the frame is 1183 (see pics). This was my dads first vehicle and has been in the family since 1961. As far as I know we were the second owner. I have the original title. It’s a project. I have almost all of the original parts. What is missing is the motor, radiator, and seats. I have three of the original hubcaps. I have two tires on it that do hold air. The floor pans are rusted out. Last time it was on the road was 1973. It does have a factory heater. If you know the DJ’s then you know it is factory 2wd. I also have the doors. This is very difficult to post as I have a long history with this vehicle. Circumstances in life change and sometimes you have to let go of dreams. Ask any questions you want. I have more pics somewhere I will add later.”
update: **Sold** was $700.
Thanks to John for spotting this altered Surrey, changed to 4WD with an extra long nose. Despite the changes, there seems to be some value here.
“1963 Jeep Surrey Gala. Swapped to a 283 v8. Runs strong. 3spd on the floor. Fisher plow. Runs drives stops and plows. Have a title. Bring a battery”
