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.
(11/09/2022) Listed as a CJ-2A body on a CJ-5 chassis, the body looks more like a DJ-3A. Has an unusual color scheme; It kinda works for me.

“Asking price $6,000. CJ5 frame and drivetrain with CJ2A body. Super cool Jeep to ride around in.”
UPDATE: Roger Jordan posted this rare photo of a DJ-6A concept vehicle on Facebook. It reminds me of the Dispatcher-100 and Sportif models, so I’ll add it to this page
===========================
Originally posted April 8, 2019:
As most folks know, Brooks Stevens was instrumental in numerous production and concept car designs. One of the lesser known projects was, apparently, an offshoot of the DJ-3A 2WD line. There are four documented designs, two of which became concept vehicles.
The Dispatcher and the Sportif concept cars.

Dispatcher 100: Derek Redmond published a slightly different version of this concept at the CJ-3B page. It’s titled the Dispatcher 100 (has an insignia with the name on the passenger door) and it may represent a slight update or next evolution of the “Dispatcher” above. The cover on the passenger side cowl suggests this might have been made from the later model DJ-3A body (which used the hole for a heater vent).
UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/09/2022) I have to say I was more curious about the Sand Jalopy Hot Rod than the jeep. The jeep seems to have a DJ-3A body. Neither seems to have much value.

“1 Jeep 1 water pumper buggy 1000$ for both Bill of sale”
And the Sand Jalopy
This appears to have a DJ-3A body, though a filler has been added to the driver’s side. It does not appear to have a DJ-3A frame (it’s missing the parking brake cable mounts on the underside of the frame).

(12/20/2022) Listed as a 1945, based on the serial number this is a 1956 DJ-3A that has been converted to 4WD.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/660170175905753/
“1945 Willys Jeep clean title Buick v6 engine, 4 wheel drive, with differential lock 3 speed gearbox Registration stickers until August 2023 The engine has a strong muscle and a wonderful roar. New battery. New oil change”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
No mention as to whether it runs or not, but it looks solid. It may have been a DJ-3A convertible at some point, but the drain holes and the rear gas hole would have been patched, so I can’t say for sure.
“1957 Jeep 2AJ · Suv · Driven 12,345 miles 1957 Willy 4 Spd 4×4 62 Corvette 327 for 475 hp on 35-12.50 -15 or Trade for Sad but sad”
This looks in pretty good shape. Could be a good price.

“Runs Only surface rust CJ 5 4 Cy 3 speed New windshield New brake system New fuel pump New aluminum radiator”
Lots of mods. This may have a DJ-3A body.

(10/23/2022) Unclear how much value is here, but there is some parts value at the very least. This has been turning into 4WD and appears to have a Government plate on the dash.

(08/28/2022) This might have a DJ-3A or a replacement body. The looks to be a V-6.
“I don’t have many details about the motor and trans, it is not running, but all parts you need are there, transmission and transfer case are installed in the jeep, I would have both rebuilt. It’s not a rust bucket and can be restored”
