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: **Status Unknown** Was $1000.
It’s got at least two combat rims. It also has a civvy head.
“Needs a little TLC. $1000 or best offer.”
No updates for Monday. They’ll resume Tuesday.
TRIP EAST: Sometime this weekend or early next week I’ll begin my drive eastward. Ann will be joining me for some or all of the trip. Somehow, we managed to thoroughly flub our communication. She thought I was just going to the Willys Reunion and coming back, so didn’t see the point in traveling. I knew she was going on a trip to the East Coast with her mother after we return home, so I figured she just didn’t want to be traveling all summer. Once she figured out I was going to be visiting folks and having some fun, she was all “hell ya I’m goin'”.
I have changed my route somewhat from my initial proposal. I will publish the new route/schedule around Wednesday or so. I awaiting some 7 day weather forecasts.
T-SHIRTS, no, MORE POSTERS: I did not get organized enough to print shirts for the trip. Over the past month and a half I’ve had a couple bouts of illness, which made me less productive than normal, so shirts will have to wait. However, some folks did not get posters, so I’ve ordered another round of 50. That will give me plenty for the trip and for the Willys Reunion.
I’ll take the jeep, too! This early CJ-3B ad is in the May 7, 1953, issue of the Heppner Gazette Times one I hadn’t seen.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $150.

“I’ve had this Willys CJ3B since 2007. It’s been garage kept. All original. Even the oil bath air cleaner & glass bowl fuel pump. Has new exhaust & manifold, fuel tank & carburetor. This Jeep was part of the Agriculture Research Service till around 1968 when it was sold to the public. I have a complete title history. Original owners manual, service manual. Previous owner was a White-Tail Deer Author and spray painted it flat black & use it as a hunting vehicle. I discovered the original decals after doing some light sanding. If you are looking for a GREAT little running Jeep or you want to do a frame off restoration, this is the Willys to have. My asking price is very reasonable for the condition. The only time I’ve driven it is to take the grandkids on rides around the neighborhood. We named it TUGGER. I may have put 200 Miles on it since I’ve owned it. The rest of time it’s been garaged.”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
