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: Still Available. This listing has been up for over a year, so not sure what the story is.
(11/11/2022) That’s got to be a home made top.

(09/21/2023) Has a Kong hard top. Hasn’t been driven for a few years, but still might be worth a look if you are near Burns.

“1952 Willy’s Jeep. Good condition, ready for someone to restore. Have not driven in several years. Does not run but is not seized. I am sure it needs a clutch and some brake work. Great project. Cool little jeep ”
On Wednesday, Ann and I returned from a very quick trip to St. George, where we purchased a 2003 Alpine 38′ Motor Coach with three slides. While I had my reservations about purchasing a vehicle like this, then driving 1000 miles in it, the rig performed flawlessly. We couldn’t have asked for more from it. Still, there’s a bunch of things we need to learn. Here are some pics.
So, how did we arrive at choosing an Alpine? Well, that’s a bit of a story … Continue reading
After a few dud issues, this one has a few interesting items. Page two devotes almost half a page to Vacuum Power Brake Kits, like the kind that was installed on the DJ-3A when we bought it. This article shows that their installation was more common than I suspected.
On page four, there’s an article about the new “Fresh-Air” heater and cab ventilator and some of its advantages, along with a kit number. Also on page four, there’s an interesting article about the top bow rear brackets. First, their installation was cancelled in late 1955, but then Willys reversed that decision and added them again. So, there are some stock models made 1955 that didn’t have them.
UPDATE: The buyer backed out of the $8100 price, so it was reauctioned. The second time it sold for $10,500.
Thanks to Blaine for sharing this BaT Auction. This Sherwood pedal jeep sold for $8100!
Roberto Flores shared this image from another group of an older jeep pulling floats. The hardtop is unusual and was usually seen in Europe, but it’s my guess that this was taken in California somewhere. I was able to use Google search to locate the same pic on Jalopy Journal.
Looks like a good price.

John shared this one. This looks in good shape, though I think replacing that front bumper would help improve the look. That said, this jeeps is registered as a 1968, so not sure if that will cause a titling issue in some states.

“1957 Jeep cj5 Willys pretty original runs great started up after winter on first try with a starter fluid. Took her for a 15 minute spin with no issues. Four-wheel-drive, high and low works brakes have been fixed and stops as good as any car with 4 drum breaks. Willing to take you for a test drive. This is by no means a show quality restoration. Was done by a gentleman in Maine in a garage on a budget. Tub has been patched up. From 10 feet away. The jeep looks amazing. Great driver used it all summer last year. If you don’t like attention, don’t waste your time. This Jeep draw more attention than a Ferrari. If you don’t like attention, this is in the car for you. Got this Jeep to go get ice cream run with the kids. Turns out that I spend more time getting beer. If you have questions PM. Jeep is roadworthy and registered as a 68.”
Seems like some value here. Needs steering wheel at the very least.

“1949 Willies Jeep lots of upgrades. Clean California Title. Needs a steering column and a radiator as the project was never completed. The engine was running before starting the overhaul. Rhino Liner on undercarriage. A small amount of TLC and she’ll be ready for the family. One of a kind find here. Make me an offer and I’ll deliver locally for free!”
Bill shared this auction for a 1979 CJ-5 that looks in good shape. The highest bid is $3500 with 3 days to go.

“Purchasing a classic where the hard work is done is tempting, especially if the vehicle is a turnkey proposition that a new owner can enjoy immediately. Such is the case with this 1979 Jeep CJ-5. The current owner has splashed some cash on this beauty, with the panel and paintwork fairly new. It is a rock-solid, rust-free off-roader featuring the range-topping V8 under the hood. There is scope for the winning bidder to personalize this ride, although leaving it untouched is a viable approach. The owner feels it is time for this Jeep to find a new home, and has listed it exclusively with us at Barn Finds Auctions.”
