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 .
Here’s a DJ-3A Dispatcher Ad from January 6,1956, published in the Herald Statesmen in Yonkers, NY. If you lived in Elmira, New York, you’d have seen the same ad, but with a price that was over $200 more ($1583)! Carmel, New York, had the best price at $1249.
This ad was published six years later in a 1962 issue of the Herald Statesman.
The DJ’s ‘fleetness of get-away’ was one reason Kreisher purchased these dispatchers. There had to be faster vehicles than the DJ!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer
(09/18/2013) Looks like a DJ body on some CJ-2A running gear/chassis.
“this is a great running machine with all new suspension, brakes,steering, Rebuilt transmission, clutch, $5,500.00 invested so far so please call with reasonable offers ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
You don’t see an original push bumper on a DJ very often.
“1958 willys 2wd. runs good. rebuilt carb with a new 6 volt battery. flathead four cylinder with a three on the tree shifter. needs electrical and brakes to be a reliable driver. was a push vehicle at a transmission shop in Monterey Park for many years. I am the third owner of this vehicle. Very clean and totally rust free. You don’t see very many 2wd willys in this condition. You will not be disappointed”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $700.
This appears to be a DJ. It’s set up for 2WD, has the short windshield, and has no gas inlet.
“tub is in great shape”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
It’s only 2WD.
“I have a mid 40s jeep willy I beleave its a1945 its only 2wd its got a motor and trans out of a pinto and the front coil spring suspension with pwr disk brakes rack and Pinyin steering this thing runs and drives great starts up with just a tap of the switch i may have it all painted army green this weekend it could make a really cool rat rod or just a toy not really wanting to get rid of it but just seeing what’s out there will sell for $1500 firm will not take any less or trade I have seen them on here in pieces for that much just call or text me if u want to know more”
It’s definitely a project.
“I have a Willys Jeep DJ-3A. This is a reasonably uncommon Jeep, made from roughly 1955-1964. It was originally equipped with an L134 engine and a column shifted three speed transmission and was only 2wd. These were made for postal delivery and small business delivery vehicles.
This one had been in a pole barn for 30 years. It’s well used and missing many of it’s core components. The engine, transmission and sliding doors are gone, along with many other smaller pieces.
To put this back together would require a complete restoration and that’s why it’s so cheap. I don’t have a title for this since it’s so old.”

Patrick found this great series of pages hosted by the Milwaukee Art Museum. The site contains over 160 Brooks Stevens drawings and models. Wagon, FCs, DJs, and Wagoneers are included. Start here to see all of the concept photos and drawings.
Patrick put together this animated GIF which shows the different noses Brooks considered.
This is an August 1946 Jeepster concept:
Brooks Stevens Jeepster 1946-08-01
These DJ concepts are always interesting:

(10/092013) It runs, but has rust.
“I have for sale a 1960 DJ3A willys jeep. The engine runs good, the transmission and transfer case work, the numbers on the data plate, frame and title all match. It has been converted to four wheel drive. The floor boards have rust through. The brakes do not work.”
Listed as a 1956 CJ-3B, this appears to be a 1956 DJ-3A (based on the VIN number 56337 11969) that may be mounted on a CJ-3B chassis.
“ For Sale 1956 Willys Jeep for $2,650.00. The jeep runs good, moves when placed in gear, stops and starts fine. But will need some work to use it as a daily driver. The jeep has brand new seats, and for it age is in good condition. It also comes with a correct up to date title. The vin numbers do match the title. The engine runs good with no noise or smoke. I think this jeep would work perfect for one of our local VFW clubs or American Legon Posts for a Parade Vehicle. “
