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 .

It’s rewarding to hear how many folks enjoy eWillys with their morning cup of coffee. When Kaiser Willys invited me to send them an ad for next year’s catalog, I decided on this one. It’s part ad and part tribute to all who read, support, and enjoy the site. Thanks go to Roberto Flores for the eWillys bear.
Charles asked me to share these with Dave as a tribute to his father, who fought in the Battle of the Bulge (if I understand correctly). Charles collects photos of that era. Dave, Charles was wondering if you had any of your father from there?
“these photo are for dave who commented on my last set photos which included a photo of the battle of the bulge – i believe his father fought in it. A huge monument was especially created for the fallen US soldiers –THE MARDASSON– in bastogne (in that town fighting was very hard – the famous word NUTS was mentioned there)”
UPDATE: **SOLD** $6200 on eBay
Nick’s got this twin-stick-PTO 3B for auction on eBay. He’s included a couple good shots of the PTO lever (not many of these around any more) and the crankshaft mechanism that operates the winch.
“For sale is a great representation of the Willys CJ3B. This is Jeep has an original body with factory twin-stick Ramsey PTO.
Clear and modern title.
The Jeep runs, drives at 60 mph, and stops. Even in 20 degree weather it starts right up. I drove the Jeep on a few 1+ hour trips without flaw. Clutch works and shifts gears smoothly. High/low range works. Rear PTO works great, needs a driveshaft for the winch. The shaft on the passenger floor controls the winch in/out direction. Two shifters between the seats engage the winch/PTO box. Rear PTO box can be attached to various agricultural equipment.
Good: Overall good condition with original parts. Body doesn’t have any patch panels and still has the side drain holes. Tires are pretty new. Original 6V system. Jeep is ready to be enjoyed.
Bad: Engine has minor smoke, needs lights/heater hooked up.
It has a Koenig 100R winch, which connects to the engine via crankshaft. This means all the parts are present to operate the winch. The passenger lever is the engage/disengage.”
