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 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.

“no rust hard top 4×4 works drives great brakes need attention ..engine has been overhauled..comp checks out on all cylinders new tires and yes it does have doors”
This is a mix of parts, including a DJ-3A body, a CJ-2A windshield and an M-38 grille. The chassis might be DJ-3A as well.

(11/20/2022) This runs and drives, but has plenty of rust. There is some parts value here at the very least.

“Willys DJ Jeep,two wheel drive,in good shape for the year,runs and drives with a little coaxing. 3300 OBO.”
This appears to be a DJ-3A convertible that has been changed to 4wd (I think it’s 4WD).

“Have brand new wheels and tires Runs and drives, but no gas tank Hood and windshield and interior have been taken apart but I have all the parts labeled and bagged Msg for more info and pictures”
Jordan was sent additional pics of this one and confirmed it is a DJ-3A convertible that has had 4WD added. The windshield is definitely from a convertible.

The small rear window indicates this was an early DJ-3A hardtop. You can learn more about these DJ-3A and CJ-5 type of hardtops here: http://www.ewillys.com/2020/03/17/different-versio…factured-hardtop/
