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 $2300.
“The jeep runs great for 40 years old.. will go over 60with very little shake . Speedometer does not work . I heater..new tires . Even have a car cover for it. Added two back seats with seat belts on tire well to haul a Grands around.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $1098.
Looks like a good price, though it isn’t clear that $1098 covers everything.

Seller is accepting bids. It’s not clear what needs work on this.
“Old mail Jeep in great condition. Runs and drives really well. SO MUCH FUN TO DRIVE! My intentions were to 100% restore it as a collectors piece but I’ve been very busy with work and we are in the process of moving. I do not need to sell but would like to not worry about it at this time. As time goes on I’ll continue to restore it slowly and the price will go up if I sell later on. Please do your research before bidding.”
Looks solid.

Chris spotted these. Could be a good deal.
“Two DJ-5 Postal Jeeps for sale. Projects, not running, I have a title for the green one, but the white one is in much better shape, no title for the white one. The roof rack is crappy PVC. Both appear complete, 2.5l 4 cylinder engines, 3-speed automatic transmission. Combine the two for a really nice cheap running Jeep that will turn heads.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(Not sure how much value is here.

“I have a mail jeep I need to sell. Located in Asheville, NC. Tires are like new. Transmission only engages in reverse. $800.
UPDATE II: There are more photos of the DJ-3A “mobile bar” in the February 1962 Jeep News.
This 1966 brochure for the Las Brisas resort included some pics of Surreys.
Here’s a DJ-5 with hubcaps.
We’ve seen this DJ-3A “mobile bar” featured in a photo from another angle.
This is the booklet’s cover.
