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 $1500.
Project or parts.
“62 170. No motor, transmission stuck. No title but can get 1 if you need it for more than parts. Price is obo.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(12/09/2022) Appears worth a look. Has some rust. There serial number postfix of 18728 puts this as a 1960, rather than the 1962 year that is listed.

“Picked up this 1962 willys CJ6 Jeep over the Summer. For a number of reasons, this is a project I am unable to pursue. Odometer shows 8k, probably rolled over once. Has some rust and usuual jeep rot, but in pretty good shape considering. Jeep came from an airplane mechanic and appears to have a good base for a restoration. I was excited to see an original hard top, which I believe are pretty hard to come by. I’ve left the jeep in essentially the same condition I got it, which includes most of the old dudes tools and nik knacks. I think $4000 is a fair price, but feel free to shoot me an offer”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/07/2022) This has some mods, including what looks to be a rear tank.

“Willys jeep. New brakes, new carb, new plug wires, new spark plugs, new starter, new alternator, new tires, new thermostat, new lug nuts and studs. This is a great hobby jeep for someone that loves classic jeeps! Still runs great and drivable!”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/16/2022) It’s hard to see the floor condition.

UPDATE II: Another carrier to add to the list thanks to Jim. This was a Husky-built tire and jerry can carrier.
=============
UPDATED October 31, 2019: More Tire and Gas Can carriers have been added to this post.
1. Con-Ferr offered various options in it’s 1970 catalog. A few of the mounts were made and sold by Con-Ferr. The pages also include a Bestop Tire Mount and another example of a Kayline tire mount:
2. This page from the 1970s Brian Chucha Catalog provides additional pics of the Kayline and the Con-Ferr carrier options:
3. Best Top Tire carrier from the late 1970s catalog:
This photo was shared by Travis to Facebook. I assume it is a VW with a Jeep front clip.
These two negatives from 1945 might interest GPW collectors.
Bill shared this FC. Looks in good shape.

“… Described as having undergone a cab- and bed-off restoration, with recent paint that’s said to be in very good shape, the Jeep has also reportedly received a new bed floor and hardware, and scored a win in its only car-show appearance to date…”
This truck is currently at $5800. Thanks to Bill for sharing.

“A 1957 Willys Jeep Flatbed with a flathead Super Hurricane six-cylinder is what’s offered here, for sale at no reserve. The New Hampshire-based vintage 4×4 was reportedly painted in 2020 and has a “rust-free” body, while the L-head Super Hurricane engine is said to be original, but in need of a tune-up. There are 65,754 miles on the odometer, but the seller notes it was non-functional for a while. The truck’s true mileage is unknown. “It’s time to pass this truck on to another old Jeep lover,” says the seller.”
UPDATE: Roger Jordan posted this rare photo of a DJ-6A concept vehicle on Facebook. It reminds me of the Dispatcher-100 and Sportif models, so I’ll add it to this page

Originally posted April 8, 2019:
As most folks know, Brooks Stevens was instrumental in numerous production and concept car designs. One of the lesser known projects was, apparently, an offshoot of the DJ-3A 2WD line. There are four documented designs, two of which became concept vehicles.
The Dispatcher and the Sportif concept cars.

Dispatcher 100: Derek Redmond published a slightly different version of this concept at the CJ-3B page. It’s titled the Dispatcher 100 (has an insignia with the name on the passenger door) and it may represent a slight update or next evolution of the “Dispatcher” above. The cover on the passenger side cowl suggests this might have been made from the later model DJ-3A body (which used the hole for a heater vent).
