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 a project.

“Clean title, 53 Willys jeep. Is a project, but has a newly rebuilt Willys 6cyl Super hurricane. A newly rebuilt tranny and transfer case. Is a very doable project, and has a lot of parts. Asking 3800 or best offer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $100.
Looks like a good price.
“Brand new replacement rear wheel wells for a CJ3A or a CJ3b.
Could also be made to work for other CJS with some work.”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
The half-top show below (which is in poor shape) has an Oneida Military Contract Data plate (here’s a second Oneida hardtop). Anyone familiar with that company vis-a-vis jeep tops? Most interesting, it has a manufacture date of 1951, which means it could very well have been original to the CJ-3A, meaning the 3A (not that there is much left of it) could have been a military 3A.
“3a parts for sale. Windshield frame $300.00 Original seats passenger and driver $200.00 ea. $350 for the pair. Tail gate $100 pretty rough but would make a great decoration. Grill $300.00. 2 cj3a tubs for sale as well $200.00 ea or $300.00 for the pair. Rare half cab. Looks to be in good condition. Needs new glass $1000.00. Also have misc cj2a parts available.”
No pics provided.

“I have a 1943 Willy’s jeep flat fender. This has a chevy conversion, I has a 327. The only reason I am selling this is I don’t have time to work on it. It does come with a tow bar and heavy duty winch on the front. When we picked this up it was a ranch jeep and had carpet in it. We took the seats and carpet out. I was going to redo the center console metal work. I have two sets of seats that will come with the jeep and I am also have the back seat that was in it. I can put this on my trailer and deliver if needed for a fee depending on distance.”
Rick shared photos of this year’s wet and rainy Great Willys Picnic. I’ve added a few pics from Bill Reiss, too. Bill captured the rain pretty well during the morning caravan to the event.
Here are Rick’s photos:
UPDATE: **SOLD** was $5200
(06/11/2018) TJ spotted this one. This was sold out of Costa Mesa, the place where Hadley Engineering was based. So, it could be a VEEP.
“This is a chance to own a rare VW Veep it’s made to look like a Willys Jeep. it’s a kit car from the 70’s and 80’s out of Costa Mesa CA. per the previous seller. It’s a blast to drive. I love Willys Jeeps and VW’s so when I saw this last year on Ebay. I thought, why not, no wife to stop me. LOL. Well it’s just too much fun to sit in the garage, no time to enjoy. Fun to tinker with. I shipped it to the NE from CA had the seats redone. Removed the back seat (still have somewhere) and took off some pin strips. It looks good from 20 feet and still needs some tinkering with some of the electrical items. ground issue i think. Wipers are not hooked up and the horn doesn’t work. I can’t figure out how the parking brake works or maybe it doesn’t. I bought it with a 1971 VW title and it came back from PA DMV titled as a 1947 Willys. it’s got a bug front and rear end, air cooled VW 1835 dual port VW rebuilt motor, new carb per previous owner. I really don’t know too much about these.”
UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $6500.
(04/21/2018) May have some rust along the driver’s side. Could have Allstate Hubs.
“Rare barn find! My wife’s grandfather’s 1955 Willys CJ-3B Jeep he bought from the Forest Service in the 1950s. 4 cyl., towbar, runs good, new battery and some wiring work. Clean title. Serious inquiries, in-person cash transaction only.”
Looks like a twin to the red one below. Has some updates.

“1947 Blue Antique Willys Jeep, completely rebuilt with brand new parts. Only a few hundred miles on the new engine.”
Has some updates. Looks like a twin to the blue one above.
https://wenatchee.craigslist.org/cto/d/1948-jeep-willys/6609133006.html
“1948 Jeep Willys, fully rebuilt with all new parts-only has a couple hundred miles on the new engine. Red, manual transmission, gasoline.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Has potential.
“All original parts in very good shape. Engine has not been started in 2 years. I inherited it and don’t want to spend the time to restore. Was originally used to pull a baler back in the day. It’s original color was yellow but my dad had painted it purple. Will not pay shipping or deliver. You are responsible for picking it up at time of sale.”
