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: Was listed at $7500. This looks in good shape.

I know nothing about it, but I think it’s cool.
“A project carrier. Hull number is 2674 which I am told is a 1943 production number. Most of the steering/braking linkage is intact. Nothing torched off. Transmission shift linkage ahead of the bulkhead is also there.
Engine compartment has not been torched up either. Both tracks and the rear end spin freely and can be pushed around easily. Road wheel rubber is in decent shape. Track sprockets are in great shape as is the track.
Shipping can be arranged anywhere. I recently sent a 40′ container to Europe an it was $3800, so be prepared if you are bidding from overseas.
Payment must be made within 5 days of auction close. Payment by cashiers check, cash, wire transfer.
Removal of the unit must be done within 30 days of auction close unless prior arrangements have been made. Ask your questions before you bid!”

Here’s a Levi edition CJ-5 in pretty good condition.
“Up for Auction is a 1976 Jeep CJ5 Renegade Levi Edition 2-Owner equipped with a AMC 360 5.9 Liter V-8 2-Barrel with only 20k miles on a remanufactured engine, Rebuilt 3-Speed Manual Transmission, and rear end. Front Disc Brakes, Power Steering, Tilt Steering Wheel, Factory Tachometer and Clock, Wiper Delay, and a Warn 8000xi Winch. I have the paperwork for the engine and reciepts for all work performed. All work performed was done back in 2000 by Dexter Clarke Jeep Service in Hillsboro Oregon. The Jeep has 145k original documented miles with approximately altogether 20k Miles on engine, transmission, rear end. Just about everything has been rebuilt or replaced. West Coast Rust Free Jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
This looks in good shape.
“54 Willys Jeep PU Has a 3.8 Buick V6 with low miles, diamond plate flatbed. The rest of the running gear is all stock. Good old jeep. Runs good.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here’s a PTO.
“What I have for sale is a rear PTO gear box off of a 1951 Willys CJ-3A. It was removed when we decided to restore the jeep and the owner did not want to put it back on. The gearbox worked fine and all the bearings are tight. As you can see by the pictures it does not include the flange that connects it to the driveshaft. The flange was froze onto the shaft and had to be cut off in order to remove the gearbox from the frame. When I cut the flange off I did manage to cut into the shaft slightly as you can see from one of the pictures. This will not hurt the function of the shaft.
The driveshaft and the transfer case adapter actuator are listed separately. Check my other auctions.”
It looks like this only has surface rust. It might be a solid candidate for restoration.
“56 Willys Pickup Truck – Stock drive train (6-226 Super Hurricane, 3 speed trans), EXCELLENT restoration project, runs and drives, not quite street ready, all new brake system, radiator re-cored, rebuilt carb, new plugs wires cap rotor, new battery, new fuel pump, new wiring harness, new gas tank, new water pump. 810-836-3536”

The Milner Library at Illinois State University has a collection of Circus Memorabilia, including a nice digital archive. I’ve selected a couple of images that show jeeps Numbers 3, 4, and 5 from the Ringling Barnum Circus.
As you can see below, No 3 is working hard holding up Carmen Barrigon, while No. 4 lazily watches.

Meanwhile, No. 5 is doing all the heavily lifting. The photographer, Sverre O. Braathen, calls this a Ford Jeep, but it looks like a CJ-3A the way the bumper is bolted onto the frame, though it also has a CJ-2A windshield. The rear PTO is raising the platforms for seating. My circus book has a good shot of the PTO setup from the rear, but I haven’t had a chance to scan that.

Dave shared this image of a Pepsi Surrey. This is a little clearer than a similar picture shown on the CJ-3B page.
