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.

David Tracy wrote a good piece of the engineering flaw(?) related to the WWII jeeps, specifically the installation of the bell crank on the axle and the problems it caused. He also does a good pointing out that there were alternatives to Willys’ steering system that were used by Bantam and Ford on their prototypes. I’m sure he would have liked an answer as to WHY Willys ended up using the system it did, but he doesn’t draw any conclusions.

(05/12/2017) Body looks great. Needs an engine and some other pieces. If this doesn’t come with the gas inlet, there’s one for sale on eBay. It’s a good price, too. Seller also had a 1963 DJ chassis for sale. Interesting that it has a 0-10 speedo, which, if original to the jeep, would more likely make it an early 1956 model.
“1957 Jeep – Willys DJ3A. Rare 2w.d. “Dispatcher” model. Great candidate to restore as Surrey beach car. Major metalwork completed and presented in treated bare metal. Ready for finish bodywork and paint. Very complete except missing original engine. Has two transmissions, factory steps and curved front bumper. Rolls and steers. Clean Ariz . title. $2900.00. Also have another DJ3A rolling frame with matching 1963 title for $600.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4750.
Has various mods.
“Ford script.. jeep… great jeep…. for hunting… or just driving around…..
May not be perfect one for a purest b/c it has a v6 and power steering but it is a very cool and a runner…lots of fun and gets lots of looks…
I have the glass for the window. Took it out to fix crack but never got to it. I may get to itmif i recieve the glass ordered.
It could probably be made original but i’m not that guy… as it would take a lot of work to bring it back to stock..
Has a buick V6 buick odd fire..
