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 $4500.
Here’s a DJ-3A in good condition. I’ve only seen 2 other ’65s.
“Amazing but no rust ever or anyplace. It’s been sitting for a few years and has bad gas in it and doesn’t want to stay running. Flathead inline 4 with floor shift three speed. Fun time at the parade or cruise.”
Bruce forwarded me these unusual and rare posts cards of some unusual Surreys (here’s a compilation of Surrey & DJ info). Bruce has attempted to contact the Las Brisas Manager to learn if they have a historian of sorts for their jeeps in use, but he hasn’t had any luck. If anyone has any Las Brisas connections, please let me know! Thanks for sharing Bruce.
Check out the guy driving the jeep, a stick no less, carrying a tray of food!
Brian writes, “
These 2 jeeps offer clues but also leaves one with more questions. The extended tub, tailgate, baby moon hubcaps, valance panels, and an absence of chrome bumpers. Also, there was no date stamp on the card, but it looks to be from the late/early 50-60s.
On the back of the postcard, written in both English and Spanish, it reads Room service by jeeps- unique at hotel Las Brisas in Acapulco where every room a has it’s own pool.”
UPDATE: Price bumped to $2500. It appears the color has been changed, too. The top pics are newest.
(03/14/2010) Here’s a mostly stock DJ-3A and still has the column shift. The seller’s phone number is Seattle area number (prob cell phone).
“L134 hurricane engine, 3 speed on the column shift. Rear wheel drive 2X4. Runs good. passes safty. best offer. Call 206-218-7288”

UPDATE: Was $5000.
(06/01/2010) This is a little rough, but looks mostly original to my less-than-perfect eye.
“For Sale or trade a 1962 Willys Surrey Gala (DJ-3A) Original condition runs and drives, many new parts asking $5000 or would consider trade for any Jeep/Willys CJ, Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40, or Boat.

The following items are NEW: clutch & pressure plate, brake master cylinder, head light switch, dimmer switch, water pump, head gasket, fan belt, points, plugs, plug wires, coil, cap and rotor, rebuilt carb.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
For the condition, this looks like a good price. There just aren’t that many DJ-3As in good condition for sale out there.
“Pretty clean 1962 Jeep flat fender, 2 wheel drive, has top, runs and is driveable. This is NOT your normal rust bucket, 99% rust free!! Please call my brother, he is the owner.”
Some cleaning and paint (and a bumper and a headlight) would really help this jeep look good. This appears to have full floating hubs in the rear as well.

This looks like a good price. I wonder what is wrong with it.
‘Spring over axle conversion. 36″ Mickey Thompson tires on aluminum wheels. Original 4 cylinder engine and 3 speed standard transmission. It is in good condition. Runs and drives but needs some work.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(07/26/2010) This looks in good shape.
“I have a Flat Fender Willys Jeep but registered as a 1966. It has a rebuilt Buick V6 with only about 500-600 miles on the engine. The transmission is a Chevy truck 4-speed with a granny-low and Jeep transfer case. The tires are fairly new with about 250 miles on them…all in the sand at Pismo. The top is in like new condition with no hazing on the plastic “windows” or any tears in the canvas. The front seats are in like new condition, as well. It has been kept in the garage as long as I have had it, about 4 years. The carb. has been rebuilt and the battery is new. Tags are up-to-date and good until June of 2011. I have about $5500 in it, it can be yours for only $4500 or best offer. You will turly love this off-road vehicle. If interested, call 209.823.6063.”

This looks like a solid back consistent with some DJ-3As. I’m assuming this has been modified with 4wd?
“1961 jeep willys in good shape and runs excellent the jeeps got a Buick 225 v6 with rebuilt heads and carb, new breaks and lines, and a new clutch, its a blast around town or in the woods the jeep comes with a rag top and doors and other motor parts such as 2 blocks heads etc… email me with questions or for more picks thanks”

UPDATE: Bill reports that this sold. He believes the top may still available.
(04/29/2009) This is a very nice Dj-3A and one of only a handful made in 1961 as noted by the seller.
“1961 WILLYS DJ3A DISPATCHER JEEP, Serial Number 56337 20287, I removed the hard top with plans to paint it black and get a black vinyl bikini top made, but as you can see in some of the photos, it had original military OD paint. So I thought I would offer it just as it is in case someone wanted to go back to original OD military style with stars and numbers. ….”
