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 $1000.
This appears to have a DJ body.
“Jeep for sale, everyting is factory except for the motor. It has 302 V-8 with a t90 tranny (I think) with the original axles under it that have been re-done (seals replaced, checked the ‘footprint’ of the gears ect…). It needs a new radiator. This is a parts truck or a restoration.”
UPDATE: This is back on eBay

“Up for sale is a very rare 1961 willys courier supposedly only 17 were made like this but don’t hold me to that ,4cyd flat head 3 speed 4×4 dual shifters most of these jeeps are right hand drive but this one was never converted and it has a factory lift don’t know if it was meant to run 35s but it is, motor runs but needs 6 volt coil and battery and the key is broken off in the switch but can start with out that have ont drive shaft but not the other, body is pretty bad but the historic significance it is worth restoring also the roll bar is out of a cj-5 so it will have to be cut to fit oh and I do have the title. Call text or email 828-736-7461 A little more if u want to try and find this u are more than welcome some people like to say oh yea my neighbor has one of those but look closely at the front finder to hood height and the over all size of the jeep the open tale gate and the window does not fold down also the entry way or kick panel there is not one from factory its not a cj-3b or a cj-3a I have done a lot of research and found out very little maybe u will have more luck”
Here are a couple different postcards of a DJ-3A Surrey towing some kind of visitor car at the Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn in Frankenmuth, MI. The Bavarian Inn is still there. I wonder what happened to the jeep?

UPDATE: Was ‘For Trade’. **SOLD**
This seller has not put the title into his name yet. This appears in good shape.
“I have a 1957 Willys DJ3A i would like to trade for a different project (i would like to get a 50s ford, chevy or dodge truck but will look at all), I have the original title in hand, i have not put it into my name yet because i was not sure what i was going to do with it and thought being the second owner of a rig meant something anyhow the Willys runs and drives, when i got it he started to convert it to 12 volt so it now runs and charges 12v but all the lights are still 6 volt so it will need to be rewired for 12v. it has min rust on the hood only the tub and rest of the body is straight with out rust. every thing other than the 12v system is original equipment. let me know what you have to trade, i would sell it but i cant seem to find a value on line for this to set a price so i will only trade for fear of getting the short end of the stick or giving someone els the short end.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Based on the Serial Number this is technically a 1958. You can follow the discussion here and here.
It doesn’t run at the moment.
“We have a 1957 Jeep Willys (Kaiser) DJ-2A Flathead 2WD in our barn. We are evaluating what to do with it but we are not interested in fixing it up. It has all the parts and was running (driven into the garage) but it is rough. We want to sell it but do not want to chop it up or part it out because it was running when we drove it into the barn about 4 years ago.”
No pics provided. It doesn’t run.
