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: **SOLD** Was $4750
Runs and drives.
“I have a 1953 Willy’s Jeep it has a 3 speed manual and a 4 cyl. it is 4 Wheel Drive. It is original and sounds good it has a hard top and doors. “
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500
The winch set up is unusual. It looks like an electric motor has been modified to work with a pro or manual winch?
“1946 jeep willy. A beauty! Come take a look at her!!”
Looks like the grille has been pushed forward.
“1947 Willys jeep project car.

Motor runs, but needs some work. No title.
“1982 DJ5 mail jeep. Needs battery, trans pump seal, and rear driveshaft u joint. Engine runs fine. Definitely needs some TLC but it is a solid very rare project. No title but will provide full bill of sale.
Purchased as a project which was going to involve a drivetrain and suspension swap. Tons of room underneath for nearly any combo. Selling because I went a different direction with the project.”

It’s definitely a project.
“I have a Willys Jeep DJ-3A. This is a reasonably uncommon Jeep, made from roughly 1955-1964. It was originally equipped with an L134 engine and a column shifted three speed transmission and was only 2wd. These were made for postal delivery and small business delivery vehicles.
This one had been in a pole barn for 30 years. It’s well used and missing many of it’s core components. The engine, transmission and sliding doors are gone, along with many other smaller pieces.
To put this back together would require a complete restoration and that’s why it’s so cheap. I don’t have a title for this since it’s so old.”

“1962 Willys CJ 3B, 4wd, hi-lo, 3 speed. Decent condition. I painted it with a brush and roller but it looks pretty good if you squint your eyes. It runs well and the only reason that I am going to sell is that I cannot get in. I am tall and it is small. It has an original period aluminum hard top with doors. I think it may be a Sears top.”

Patrick found this great series of pages hosted by the Milwaukee Art Museum. The site contains over 160 Brooks Stevens drawings and models. Wagon, FCs, DJs, and Wagoneers are included. Start here to see all of the concept photos and drawings.
Patrick put together this animated GIF which shows the different noses Brooks considered.
This is an August 1946 Jeepster concept:

These DJ concepts are always interesting:
