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 .

“Selling my 1947 cj2a project.

the cj2a is complete and i believe has the original drive train to it.
the engine was seized.
the body has some rust in the floors.
I got a second cj3a frame that was in better shape and was dissembling the cj2a and installing parts onto the cj3a as the 3a was being fixed from the frame up.
frame is painted with new shocks / springs and bushings.
engine runs good trans shifts fine.
hi torque 12v starter.
12v alternator.
needs brake lines installed.

everything is there to make a running CJ i just don’t have the time and now need to repair my daily driver.”

“I have a 1953 jeep Willys CJ3B for sale. It’s not in the best shape, but I bought it off of a lady who let is sit for 27 years so that’s to be expected. My original plan was to restore is, but an opportunity has come up that I need some cash for. This is a very rare, one of a kind jeep. this jeep does have the hard top with it that is very rare. It also has the spare tire carrier that mounts to the side with the spare rim. All the rims are original with new tires mounted on them. I currently have the engine pulled for inspection. After opening it up I see that it is able to be rebuilt, but it will take some time and patience and most of it will need replaced. The engine has a little bit over 46,000 miles on it. The body needs some work also. It has no floors and the sides need to be patched in some places and completely replaced in others. I do have a new 4 x 8 foot sheet of 16 gauge thick steel that I will sell with it to make body panels out of. All the brake drums are freed up and it does roll and the steering works so you can move it easily. This jeep is a project, but if you have been looking for a jeep project, then its perfect. All the gauges are in it and in decent shape also. If you have any questions or are interested feel free to email me, thanks.”
Jesse Ybarra sent in this report on the trip he and Andrea are enjoying in their modified 1964 M-679. They’ve driven from Phoenix to Dan’s Military FC show in Illinois, before heading down to Dallas.
The van at Dan’s Military FC show.
He wrote: “We are still on our MOST EXCELLENT ROAD TRIP ADVENTURE. We drove the M-679 Ambulance from Phoenix to Marengo, Illinois. There were a lot of weather and road conditions to test me and my van. It has a new (for this trip) softer suspension change of 10 to 5 leaves and an added air ride. It sure was needed, because off roading at 10 mph is not like seeing the road sign that says bump at 75 mph and then flying all 4 tires in the air!
I also finished the interior, adding insulation covered by anodized aluminum and a headliner. I also installed a rear view monitor with side and rear cameras. Other modern conveniences include a motorized touch screen sound system, GPS MAPS, and a bluetooth onscreen connected phone.
At every pitstop, even ln the rain, people asked if they could take pictures. Even on the turn pikes
at over 75mph truckers and other drivers were taking pictures out their windows as we would pass them.
After a week in IL. We are in Dallas for another week with our daughter and grandchildren. The real road test is not the handling or power and economy, but how it can stop in the big city traffic. Driving into Dallas at afternoon rush hour was a real test on me more than on the van.”
Jesse plans to send some more photos and either or Mark Smith at warjeeps.com will have more on Jesse’s adventure.
For those curious about this built, you can seehow it looked before Jesse began work on it. The van had been headed for the scrapyard when Jesse got a hold of it. It is one of 6 known FC-679s.
UPDATE: Another Feshin Hole Postcard for sale.

Doug spotted this former Shriner’s jeep. It’s listed as a 1953, but it appears to be a post 1956 3B.

The body is in great shape for a 53,it does have some minor rust spot. The floor pans and the frame have some surface rust but that’s it. Runs and drives great and is a blast the dri”

Runs. Listed as a 1948, but could be a 3A.
“40 ish jeep willys runs n drives 4 cylinder flat head $1500”

Does not run at the moment. Sounds like it could be something simple.
“This was my dad’s vehicle. It has been 1 owner, and used as a work vehicle for many years in a sawmill. I don’t know a lot about it. Dad bought it in ’54/’55. It has a period motor, though not original. It ran when I got it, then the throttle cable – choke (?) broke and I have not tried to restart.
It has the frame for the soft top, but not the top. Front seats have been recovered. Has a box full of parts. It has had some body work done – such as replacing a fender. It comes with a utility trailer made from and old Willy truck bed I believe. Hard to part with as it was my dads who passed away, but it should be restored vs. sitting and rusting away. My hope was to have it restored, but not being able to work no it myself, it was too cost prohibitive.
I probably won’t be a wealth of knowledge on it, but ask anything and I’ll do my best! I will try to get a picture of the engine in a few days. The colorized pic is from several years ago when a friend cleaned it up. It does stay undercover and under tarp, but it needs more protection that that I feel.
Title should not be hard to transfer. I have what I need (I hope) from my dad’s paperwork. If not a local pick-up/ haul, you will need to arrange and pay cost of transport. I can easily be available to meet.”
