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.
The white stripe seems familiar. Have we seen this one before?
“1947 Willy’s Jeep with 283 v8 has a over drive kit, 4 in lift 32in tires like new was going to restore it but going a different way runs and drives was on road last year also has lock outs new original style seats and gas tank, aluminum radiator”
Nice price on a solid looking hood. The hinge might need replacing?

“Hood for 1946 style CJ-2A willy’s jeeps in perfect condition. Should fit any CJ-2A. Cash and carry deal only.”
I think this is a cab enclosure hardtop, but can’t tell for sure.

“Very well used hardtop with doors which came on an M38 project I bought. No rear hatch door.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $7000.
Ranger Bob suggests this could have been a 1963 that could have been on the production line when things switched the 1964 model (see comments).
Though listed as a 1964, I imagine it is earlier (maybe 1963) given the Willys stampings. It could use some body work and paint. Still, it’s hard to find a 1960’s 3B for sale.

“Putting my 1964 Willys CJ3B up for sale. I’ve had a lot of work done to it in the last few weeks as you can see from the photos. These are not getting easier to find and to have one that has a hardtop and is in good condition with all original drivetrain and low miles is nearly impossible, especially on the east coast. I will NOT respond to any pre-made Facebook messenger messages. May be interested in trades depending on what you have. Please don’t waste my time. Price is $7,500 obo”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
(01/15/2020) Runs and drives.
“1976 Postal Jeep Runs great minor choke issue. Fun Jeep!!”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/03/2019) The body has at least one patch along the driver’s side, so I’m not sure how this is a “new original steel tub”?
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/203662420938308/
“Newly restored Jeep Willys CJ2A New original steel tub, body off restoration. About 85% original, Original motor and running gear all taken apart and redone. Great Jeep and lots of fun to drive, real head turner.”
Only a few posts for Wednesday. I’ve begun re-organizing some of our older trips (Southwest Spring FC Roundup 2013 trip for example) to make navigating the pages easier. It turned out to be much more work than I’d planned, as I hadn’t gotten the hang yet of traveling and documenting a trip. My goal is to get them all organized in one section of the site … So, just a few updates for today.
If you want to see (or re-see) our 2013 Southwest trip, here it is:

A few years ago Mark Smith published this great video about Craig’s tour jeep. Somehow I missed seeing it. They are really fun to ride around town.
Mark Smith (JeepTruck.com) and Drew Norman (The Jeep Farm) teamed up again for another video:
It runs. Given the price, it could be worth a look. Thanks to Tom for sharing.

“1953 Willys sedan project. Runs and moves. No brakes. Asking $1400 see pics for more info about car. Trades are possible on other old cars or parts (prefer model a and model t fords).”
UPDATE: Was on eBay.
This oddity was auctioned on eBay in 2020. It’s a neat piece for the right person; I haven’t decided it I’m the right person or not yet.
“A splendid advertising promotion for a Factory-funded contest between dealers to sell Kaiser Jeep products. 7 1/4″ x 7 1/2″, slick illustrated paper with a very thin record of the same size, typical of a 45-RPM record – but in this case meant to be played at 33 1/3-RPM.
Jeep Sales Circus contest – undated;
Prepared under the Kaiser Jeep name – inaugurated 1963;
Kaiser Jeep address uses the Postal Code (Toledo 1, Ohio) which was discontinued in 1963 with the inauguration of Zip Codes;
Dealers could win points with each Jeep sale or with Jeep parts, Accessories sales;
No discussion about what you’d win;
Kaiser sponsorship of The Greatest Show on Earth” TV program – ABC-TV – the series ran for one year, 1963-1964.
A splendid and very uncommon sales promotion. Note – a glued strip attached the record to the brochure – directions called for the cover to be folded under the record and the back cover, and played on your record player in that format – the brochure and the record all show the center hole drill. This record was detached from the glued strip.”
This April 30, 1950, ad in the Evening Star is another example of Willys-Overland seemingly targeting the same demographic for both vehicles. And that seems to be a reasonable approach. I haven’t investigated how often the company did this in their advertising yet.
