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 .
This is a mix of parts.

“1963 CJ3B excellent frame, good drive train, postal body, lifted, aluminium wheels, good tires, engine good but not running, need shop space. May trade for skid steer attachment”
This has no title. Given the radiator and the transmission crossmember mount (just visible in one pic), this is likely a DJ-3A convertible body on a CJ-2A chassis.

“Trade OBO NO TITLE!!! We got it thinking of restoring it due to it having many good parts but decided not to due to not having time. Would like to trade for a motorcycle or best offer for it.”
The seller doesn’t mention that this is 2WD.

“Custom Willys Jeep Ford 289 v8 Runs and drives”
Unclear if the chassis is a CJ-5, DJ-3A (w/4wd added) or CJ-3B.

“Willys Cj2a jeep on 1957 running gear, lots of new parts including hood, windshield frame, new windshield glass, new fuel tank, new brake lines and wheel cylinders, new front bumper, very solid body and frame! Reason for selling is I lost interest”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(01/16/2023) This appears to be a DJ-3A atop a 4WD Chassis.

It is an original Willie $1,500 firm”
This is a pretty good price on this rare DJ-3A brochure from no W-301-6. I thought I had posted the version of the form that I have, but apparently I didn’t. So, I’ll include the pics from this eBay auction and update them with better pics from my brochure at a later date.

“This is an ORIGINAL brochure, NOT a reprint
It is in GOOD condition with some very light shelf wear to the covers. Interior pages are CLEAN
It is a 4 PAGE color FOLDER that measures 8 3/4″ x 10 1/2″”
This hardtop has the small back window, so it’s an early DJ-3A top.

“Top only. Trade obo”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(02/15/2023) To me, this looks to be a DJ-3A body. It’s possible between the year listed (1953) and the CJ-3B windshield that someone put a DJ body on a CJ-3B. I think the dash may have been skimmed with a thin piece of metal.

“1953 Willys Jeep. Title in hand. Has motor does not run been sitting a while. We do have the back seat too. Motor is a 327 V8. Asking $4,000 obo. Located in Gila Bend Az.”
This press release package is currently at $29.50 with three days to go. It’s unclear if this is a complete press kit or a partial one (seems partial to me given there is only one photo). The date on the photo suggests this kit may have been release September 16, 1959.
What’s interesting to me is that the 2-page document on the left is one of the few documents create by Willys Motors that explains that the new Surrey is the name of the model released domestically and that the Gala is the export name, though no explanation is given for the difference.

Here is the document I mentioned. See the last sentence on the second page for the link between the Surreys and Galas>
This is caption for the photo. Note the date at the lower left hand corner 9 16 59.
This DJ-3A converted to 4WD looks like a good price. Tom spotted it.
