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 .

The DJ-3As guys were exchanging emails the other day about a little known change in headlight and parking light bezels and housings during its production run. I’ve organized the information they sent and found additional information online. Hopefully, I got everything correct.
For the DJ-3A, the parking light and headlight changes occurred in 1959, with the DJ-3A switching from the 2A/3A headlight and parking lights to the later model parts. Other models (CJ-3Bs, trucks, CJ-5/6s, and wagons) had their parking lights changed in 1956.
HEADLIGHTS BEZELS:
From 1955 to UP TO 56337-15802 in 1959 the DJ-3A used the same headlight bezels as the CJ-2A/CJ-3A. Some people call these the flat bezels and the later models bug eyes.

============
From 56337-15802 in 1959 to 1964 the DJ-3A used the later versions, also used by the CJ-3Bs, trucks, Jeepsters, wagons, CJ-5s (1955-1971), FCs, and CJ-6s.

The way the headlight bezels mount is also different:

PARKING LIGHTS AND LENS CHANGES:
From 1956 to 1959 56337-14103 the DJ-3A used the same parking lights and bezels as used on CJ-3B 1953-1956, CJ-5/6 1955-1956, Trucks 1953-1956, and Wagons 1953-1956.

The parking light housing was also different. The early housing mounted with horizontal holes, while the later housing mounted using vertical holes. The CJ-3B sites explains the differences.
UPDATE: Anyone know anything about these jeeps? Tony has one and wanted to get some more information about it.
This gold-plated CJ-5 sold on eBay in 2013.
“THE ULTIMATE JEEP TOY COLLECTORS FIND. THIS GOLD PLATED JEEP TOY I AM TOLD WAS MADE FOR THE WILLYS OVERLAND EXECUTIVES WHEN THEY RETIRED. VERY RARE AND SCARCE.

Looks in good shape.
“or sale. 1954 CJ3B Jeep. Nice condition. Brake system recently rebuilt-new lines, drums, and master cylinder. Windshield frame seal replaced and new horn wiring. Many overhauled components and replaced parts. Little rust. Always hangered. Transmission shifts great, doesn’t pop out of gear. Hi/Low/2wd/4wd all work great.”

Interesting steering wheel and shifter knob.
“1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A. Over $15,000 in restoration. Original flat head engine. New everything!”
Looks like a good price.
“Selling my 1947 CJ2A Willys Jeep.
It is in good condition with original motor and drive train. Everything is functional as runs it runs and drives. The body and frame are both in good shape. Wood make a great trail rig or hunting rig. I have switched directions a bit and while I hate to sell it, I need the space.
I have a clear title in hand.”

“Using almost as a daily driver for my 15 mile one way commute. Very fun to drive and many original features that make this Willy’s Jeep unique.
Original floor mats, original seat belts, original seats (upgraded option from the Tuxedo line), original wipers (most Jeeps were replaced with aftermarket motors), and I even have the original cardboard glove box (but it was replaced with a plastic box).
The tub floor boards have been patched over the years. The CJ-5 tool box floor was patched and holds tools.
Includes a BestTop with doors and panels – all in great condition.
This is a great fun Jeep to drive with the rock solid original Willy’s 4 flat head with strong consistent oil pressure. 4×4 works too. Continue reading
