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 $5000
This appears solid.

“1953 Jeep CJ-3A (AKA M38A1, FJ, CJ, Willys depending on the application)
VIN MC11719
This jeep has been in our family since the early 80’s. My Dad then allowed some of his workers to use it for side jobs, etc. and it was used as a work jeep. It underwent an amateur restoration (there is some bondo in places) by one of his workers in order to provide give him some work.
It starts and runs fine, it leaks oil, and the brakes are fine. They were actually re-shoed by a local San Antonio Company (took forever to get those right) tires are good, etc. The oil leakage is minor. The windshield has cracks from being dropped when lowered during a quail hunt by an over anxious teenager.
The physical attributes are that it has a 4 cylinder flathead motor – original, Warner 3 speed manual transmission with Transfer case. 2 wheel drive-High, 4 wheel drive-High, 4 wheel drive-Low. It all works as designed. This is a driver, top speed about 40 – 45mph. Should you not want to drive to your off-road destination, there is a town bar that will allow you pull the jeep at 70 mph very comfortably. At one time we had it wired so you would connect the lights to the pigtail of your pickup. The wiring is still there, but not connected. The electrical system was converted from 24 volt to 12 volt prior to ownership.
We got creative, thought high back seats would look cool, so we replaced the bench pickup seat where eye level was just at the top of the window frame with VW high back seats. The under seat tank was shot and we used a stainless steel square tank up until about 1 year ago directly behind the two high back seats. We added a back seat to the back to carry extra passengers and used a 6 gallon red tank that is under the back seat. The seat for the passengers in the back is from a school bus.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2995.

Roberto spotted this article in JP Magazine which discusses inexpensive ways to get into an old jeep. They cover Willys Wagons & Trucks, CJ-5s, Jeepster Commandos and Fullsize Jeeps. I think their price points align with what I have seen as well.

This is a NellyBelle look-a-like. Note the bent frames rails in the fourth pic.
“”Whoa Nelly” Being a fan of Roy, Dale and Pat I decided I wanted a Nelly Belle of my own so this 1947 CJ2A turned into one. It sure isn’t “the” Nelly But I think Pat would recognize her. She is very stock, 6V, L head stock axels. Tires about 2 years old with less than 500 miles. Radiators good, fuel tanks new, all gauges work. Starts, runs and stops fine. No steering wobble. The Nelly Belle tins included of course, 20 mm ammo cans, hand fabricated doors and a cut down windshield complete with gun port. She’s ready to parade or play, biggest problem is finding people who know who Roy, Dale, Pat and Nelly are. Isn’t that a shame.”
