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 .
I got invited over to the neighbor’s house to play Dominion Saturday night, so didn’t have time for updates. I’ll have time during the Seahawk’s game, so look for some updates by halftime and continuing for a while afterwards.
UPDATE: Was $5000. **SOLD**
(09/15/2013) This may be a good price.

(12/08/2012) There are some good detail shots of the rebuild.
“For sale is my 1954 Jeep Willys CJ3B. This Jeep was bought about 3 years ago and was used as a restoration project ( as you can see from the pictures ). Engine runs excellent. 4×4 was rebuilt, including the transmission and transfer case. The engine has a new starter, coil, spark plugs, rotor and cap, wires, and a rebuilt carburator. A new custom exhaust was installed by a local professional. The Jeep has brand new shocks, brakes, brake master cylinder, wheel bearings, new steering shock and also it was recently fully aligned. The Jeep starts perfectly, and drives like all other jeeps. It was fully restored, including the break down of all body panels, fully sandblasted, rust prevention spray, 3 coats of primer, and then the final original paint color. All dash gauges and lights work, and the dash includes the original Jeep Willys 4×4 instruction plate. It has a Ramsey Winch on the front, which is controlled by a remote from inside and outside of the Jeep. As you can see in the pictures, there is an electric hookup for towing the jeep that allows the jeep’s lights to be used in towing. Since restoration, my CJ3B has been garage kept and only driven for enjoyment on the streets. This Jeep is perfect for anyone who is looking for a exceptionally unique Willys which is in perfect mechanical and physical shape, that can add upgrades to increase their enjoyment.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2500.

Marc spotted this flattie for sale.
“My son Jarred spotted this for sale in Springs (where I live) yesterday. We both went to look at it today.
Would you please post this on eWillys Dave.
It is a 1947 CJ-2A with s/n # 88706 being sold privately at a second hand car dealership (Anrecha Auto, Tel. +27 11 362 2243), so I have absolutely nothing to do with this sale. Maybe someone from here (RSA) will see the post and she will go to good home……………if only I could buy her I certainly would.
1) No data plate in engine bay, only the frame tag is still attached.
2) The type plate in the front passenger side is MIA.
3) Engine has been replaced with a Toyota 2.1 4Y petrol engine (installation look neat)
4) Gearbox set up looks normal but the salesman did not know the type but said the owner stated it was Toyota??
5) None standard fuel tank, it is home made but looks the part and I think it may be stainless.
6) Aftermarket CJ-2A windscreen.
7) Non standard tail gate mounted spare wheel which has broken the tail gate which has been
modified with other hinges.
8) All seems straight but the paint job is a “look nice”only as there appears to be body filler in
places and there is visible rust all round.
9) 3 small tail lights fitted on both left and right sides.
10) Top hat sections/hat channels have seen better days as they have rusted through.
11) No speedo but the other instruments look non standard.
12) Body has been lifted, by what looks like 2-inches with round rubber blocks to clear the
engine height for the hood/bonnet.
13) R 65 000 South African rand’s appears to be a little harsh for what this is and the overall
condition.
The lower edge of the body looks like it has been changed/modified.
“Nice 1952 Willys M38 with no rust or body issues. This is the military version of the CJ3A. Buick V6 with low hours. Rancho Suspension. Full Roll Cage. Warn 6000 winch. Tow Bar. Full floating rear axle with warn hubs for flat towing. Lockrite lockers in rear differential. Newer Best Top. Bikini Top. Nice tires/wheels. This is not a project jeep. It’s a nice classic Willys flatfender that runs and drives. It’s priced to sell. I’m only selling it because I’m just too busy to use it. No trades. Thanks for looking. Mark 541-490-6586”
