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 .
I purchased this cast Jeepster off of eBay. It might have been a mailbox topper, but neither Colin nor I are exactly sure what it’s original purposed was supposed to be. While this one has been tapped for screws, Colin’s was never tapped. This is 11.5″ long.
Next updates will be Sunday.
I got a ton of drudgery completed on the house on Friday (hence the reason for no updates today), from washing the porch, the garage, and the exterior lights, to cleaning the front vinyl fence and completing the trim painting. Whew.
As for the new house, the loan has been approved and we should be signing next week.
We certainly couldn’t ask for a better market for selling: super low interest rates and a super low inventory of houses. We expect that once it is on the market that the house will sell within a few days. This is just a crazy real estate market right now.
I should be an interesting few weeks!
My d@ewillys.com account continues to be problematic (I can see headers, but that’s all). So, if you have emailed me and I did not respond, please resend the email to d@deilers.com.
Thanks, Dave

“This is a 1953 Willys Jeep CJ-3B (453GB2). It runs. The 4WD works. It has a new gas tank and new battery. It has new tires in the original all terrain style. It has a new winch on front with an LED light bar. It has a tow bar. It comes with a high rear seat for hunting. It does not have seat cushions though. It has a gun rack but it is not installed yet. It does have the tailgate but it is not currently on the jeep.
The passenger rear fender has been replaced. I also have a front quarter replacement but it has not been installed. It has a complete new brake system with new drums, pads and lines. It can probably use a carb tune up but it does have new spark plugs, wires and hoses. I bought it with a title but it turns out it was not the correct title as the serial number does not match so I am selling it without a title. You can get a new title fairly easily though due to its age. Overall the jeep is in decent shape. I will not respond to ANY lowball offers so don’t waste your time.”
