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: This sold back in 2016; plates must have been transferred to the new owner.

“1953 willys cj3b. She fires up and runs. Pulled my 4wd Toyota out of a mud pit not that long ago. Perfect project or leave her as she is. You might want to trailer her out as her top speed is only about 50mph. Not in a hurry to sell. No lowballs please.”
Might be some value here.

“This is a 1947 cj2a Willys Jeep. Started as a project and don’t have time to work on it anymore. It’s got an engine and transmission out of an 1982 Datson pickup. Comes with everything in the picture. Has good tires. Selling as is. Have had the engine running while in the Jeep, nothing is wired up but can start. Let me know if you want a video of it running. No title but comes with bill of sale. Might be interested in some trades.”

Websites Macs Motor City and Curbside Classic shared information on this 1959 Willys prototype that looks quite a bit like a Ford Falcon station wagon. You can see additional jeep/car prototypes on the CJ-3B Page: https://cj3b.info/Factory/FactoryDesign.html
I’m sure someone else has more info on this Willys Malibu.
Ford developed the Falcon Station Wagon in 1959, so it’s possible that the Malibu and the Falcon were developed completely independently, but it sure looks like one could have influenced the other.
In 1961, this prototype was considered (was an actual vehicle ever built?) with a CJ-5 looking grille:
In 1961, Willys Motors came out with a different prototype wagon, the J-100, with a more familiar face.
However, the original Malibu grill concept wasn’t completely abandoned. In 1966 (Thanks Mike), the luxurious Super Wagoneer was introduced with a grille very similar to the 1959 Malibu prototype (with a small hood bump as a nod to the Wagoneer styling).:
Later, in 1974, AMC Jeep used the same look on the new Jeep Cherokee line.
