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 .
This is a great looking, stock truck.

Here’s a nice looking combo.
“1951 Willys Army Jeep and Trailer – like new. Loaded with radio and other gear as deployed. Recent new belts, hoses and gaskets”
This is not running at the moment. The seller did have two of these, but must have sold one.
“1963 Willys Jeep CJ-6 for sale, $1700 OBO. This jeep was running last year, but no longer has the engine. It still has the radiator, T90 transmission, Spicer 18 transfer case, Dana 25/Dana 44 axles, with a lock-rite locker in the front axle. Colorado title. Rust in typical places (driver’s side floor, hood, rear corners, tailgate). Additional pictures available on request.
If wanted, I can include an early CJ5 tub with the CJ6 purchase (no extra charge). This would be for donor pieces. The firewall and some hat channels have been removed from this donor tub. Pictures available on request.
What is a Jeep Willys CJ-6? Well, they are a pretty rare Jeep. About 50,000 CJ6s were made total. Some people like to make these into trail rigs because of the ability to move the axles closer to the ends. They are exactly like a CJ-5, but are 20″ longer in the middle. That is pretty much the only difference.”

(10/21/09) Here’s a pretty stock CJ-3B.
“This old Willys was origjnally owned by the city of Templeton, IA. I bought it about a year ago from a farmer who used it just around the farm, mostly to give his kids and grand kids rides off road. It started and ran when I got it, but was not dependable, reliable or street legal. I’ve done a lot of work (documented) to this old Willys here in my shop to make it safe, reliable, dependable, legal and most of all fun. The 6 bolt system and all of the original wiring has been replaced with a complete 12 volt system with custom wiring throughout. It has dual tail lights with license light, park lights, turn signals with dash indicator and working self cancel, horn, 2 speed custom (CJ5 parts) wipers, 2 speed custom heater blower motor with defrost tube, interior lights and a 12 volt power receptacle under the dash for what ever ( I use it to plug in my phone). The original seats have been replaced with new cloth covered seat assemblies from Vanderhaag truck parts. The passenger seat has been adapted to fit the flip seat bracket to allow access to the floor mounted tool box. Seat belts are a set of dated Simpsons out of my old race car. The rear facing functional flip fold CJ5 back seat sits atop a custom built frame and has retractable seat belts for 2 out of an old K5 Blazer. The top is in excellent condition. I put it on new last year. The 4×4 works excellent. In LOW LOW this unit will go just about anywhere. I’ve had it off road in the mud, snow, dirt, sand, up and down hills and then right out onto the road and headed for home. There’s been alot more done to this old Willys, including rebuilt park brake, new fuel tank and sender, belt, hoses, wires, plugs, carb rebuilt, custom installed CJ5 roll bar, etc, etc, etc. It’s not beautiful.”
(03/22/09) This CJ-5 comes with an overdrive and an unusual aluminum top (at least, I’ve not seen one quite like this for the CJ-5.
“170 cid FORD, WARN OVERDRIVE, PTO WINCH, POWERLOCK LOCKERS FRONT AND REAR, ALUM TOP, AUX FUEL TANK, AM/FM CD, $2300”
When Paul isn’t working on his Stainless M-38, he travels Alaska repairing airplanes. He often brings along his camera and he recently sent me some of his pics. Here’s 3 images by Paul that caught my eye. Paul didn’t send any names to accompany his images, so I’ve presumptively added by own names:
I call this one — Ran When Parked
I call this one — Ran When Beached
And finally — Too Damn Cold to Run
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
This might just make a good restoration project. It even runs! Much of the rust appears to be surface rust.

UPDATE:**SOLD* Was $1500.
This is a project.
“Jeep – 1947 CJ2A. F-Head motor (not original). Engine just freshened new gaskets/ rings / cylinders honed / head rebuilt. Runs great, no smoke no problems. 3 speed standard transmission. 4wd low & high works. Transmission grinds a little but you would to if you were sixty three years old. Clutch seems to work fine. Frame is solid. A little surface rust but in great shape for it’s age. Interior could use some love. The drivers seat cover is pretty much non-existant, I’m not sure what gauges on the dashboard work, there not original though. Someone put a keg in the back for a gas tank. Body seems good for what it is … Price is $1500 obo. Don’t need to sell it… I bought it with intentions of fixing it up, rebuilt the engine and somewhat lost ambition. If I dont get what I want, within reason, I’ll just keep it. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1850.
This is a non-running jeep and has been converted to 4wd.
“1957 WILLYS JEEP DJ-3A 4X4 – RARE AND NEAT OLD JEEP WITH CLEAN & CLEAR PA TITLE!!! I purchased this Willys Jeep just as it is, never did anything with it, and have too many other projects going, so I’ve decided to part with it. It is a very nice project for someone with more time and less projects then me. I can tell you what I know about it. This is a model DJ-3A V.I.N. #5633711806 Willys Jeep Dispatcher which makes it very rare and the fact thats its 4X4 a nice restoration project compared to a 2wd Dispatcher. Originally this particular truck was equiped with a complete steel enclosed cab/panel body (no side windows) and steel sliding doors (notice the original small running board area and full to floor foot opening that was on DJ-3A models with full cabs). The DJ-3A was based on the earlier (1949-1953) model CJ-3A Willys Jeep bodies not the later CJ-3B bodies normally used on other models after 1953. The complete and correct for DJ-3A models fold down windshield frame with glass is in the back (which appears to have been brand new and still in black primer) and has not been mounted though I do have the side mounting hardware to do so. The previous owner last ran and drove it, and had it PA inspected through 2006 though it has been sitting ever since. I tried to get it running but the engine appears to be seized from sitting. I suspect most likely the valves are stuck from the time it spent sitting which is common with these flathead engines. The carburetor appears to be a rebuilt unit and there is also an original used carburetor with it. The body is in decent shape for its age appearing to having work done to it here and there over the years. Someone over the years has cut out the vertical bars of the original grille and welded in steel mesh, personally I would prefer the original grille bars. The frame appears to be in pretty good shape being much better then most other early model Willys Jeeps I’ve seen over the years. It has the original (DJ-3A) rear mounted fuel tank with filler neck exiting out the right rear next to the tailgate”
