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 doesn’t look like that radiator fits.

“This is a half finished Project Willy’s. It runs and drives. Mechanically sound and starts right up. Body and electric system is the next step. It’s an old jeep that needs a new home. $2900.00 or best, realistic, CASH offer. I’ve spent over $7000.00 in parts and labor above the purchase price. I’ve just lost interest. My loss is your gain.”

(05/08/2017) “I have a 1945 ford jeep. Engine has been swapped to a v6 buick motor. Has brand new 4 speed transmission with very few miles on it. Tires are in good shape with a brand new full sized spare. 4×4 works, locked front end. Jeep needs a little steering work so will have to be towed. I have a clean title for it and it has collector plates on it. “

UPDATE II: There are more photos of the DJ-3A “mobile bar” in the February 1962 Jeep News.
This 1966 brochure for the Las Brisas resort included some pics of Surreys.
Here’s a DJ-5 with hubcaps.
We’ve seen this DJ-3A “mobile bar” featured in a photo from another angle.
This is the booklet’s cover.
