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.

(06/23/2017) Needs some work. Has some mods.
“1948 Jeep CJ2A with Chevy 283 engine (same engine in very old Corvettes) and auto transmission, and even a PTO next to the transmission. It also has Toyota truck axles with a Posi of sorts, so it sends power to the wheel that has the grip. If you’re looking for stock, this is not the one for you. If you’re looking one built for serious 4×4 capability, then this is a good one.
Engine and transmission ran fine before this sat for many years in my driveway. I rebuilt the carburetor 1 1/2 years ago, and it started right up. However, I put it in drive, and nothing happened. It has continued to sit, and it’s time to go to a someone that can fix it up. It has an incredible starting base, just needs to be fixed up, and you’ll get people surrounding you every time you stop in order to check it out.
Other things it will need – tires, radiator, seats, a tune-up, and of course, transmission rebuild. You will have to tow it, and it will come with a tow-bar.
Setting the price at $3000 or obo. No low ballers, because I’d rather fix it up myself than entertain a ridiculous offer. I can’t answer calls during the day, but texts ok – may take awhile to get back to you though. I can take calls in the evening after 7”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600.
(03/30/2017) Interesting story. The 3B hood with the louvres is unusual.
“I purchased this to turn into my dream FrankenWillys, stretched to allow 3 rows of seats. When I called the Idaho DOT, everything went well until I said “stretch”. Apparently that makes it a new vehicle, that would need to meet current safety standards (airbags, etc.). So I set my dream aside and bought a CJ8 as a compromise. I need to get the CJ3 out of the garage, so I can get the CJ8 fixed up.
Most of the CJ3 B body has been sandblasted. If it is gray in the picture, it is likely sandblasted. The floor has rust, see pictures, but overall it is in good condition for an old Willys. Comes with Koenig steel top. The top comes with a set of full doors. There is also a set of half doors. There is a spare firewall to replace the original firewall that was cut out for a V8.”
Next updates will be Sunday morning.
Mike shared this pic off of Facebook. It looks to be a GPW. The message indicates this is #93389, but there were 277,000 built? Can some interpret this one for me please?
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
I didn’t know Bestop made backseats. Not much useful info on what types they made.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
Bill spotted this one. Note the unusual fork lift setup on the rear. I don’t know if this was a one-off creation or a purchasable piece of equipment. Looks to be hydraulically operated.
“Classic but very tired post war jeep. All complete, this jeep lived most of it’s life (so far) on an Avacado Orchard in San Diego area. Hence the pack fork (short lift forklift) on the back. It was used to move boxes of Avo’s around the orchard and general farming duties. That area is hilly so it comes with some dents.
The motor was near dead, I drove the jeep a little, pulled the motor and found it was already punched to 80 over so needs sleeves or replacement.
Comes with pink slip (what are the chances of that) and all the jeep stuff I have which isn’t much beyond pictured.Sc
Scammers, save your effort, cash is king. Will trade for vintage (euro) motorcycles/scooters”
