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 $3500.
There appears to be some stainless parts on this. It might be a good value.
“
1953 Willy’s Jeep, Original 4 cylinder flat head motor. Rebuilt with only 10,000 miles. Warn overdrive, Rancho shocks and Rancho 3 inch lift kit, converted from original 6v to 12v.30in BF Goodrich all terrian tires, chrome tail gate and heavy duty chrome front bumper. runs great, must sell.”
It doesn’t run, but appears complete. Based on the year, I’d say this is a CJ-3A, but the bow holders on the driver’s side suggest CJ-2A.
“It’s a pretty great jeep. I really, REALLY hate having to sell it but, as we all know the economy sucks. Anyways, about the jeep: Of course it doesn’t run it’s been sitting for about 2 years, under cover about 1 year 6 months. Mostly electrical work is needed, and I imagine there is a load of work to be done under the hood. Ran and drove 2 years ago. Stock cover is still in great condition, just needs a thorough wash. Interier is dusty and smelly. Hundreds of extra parts laying around. (Doubles of what’s on the jeep already). NOT a parts vehicle, or un-finished project. Just needs a good strong elbow or two on her for a while.
Will most likely need all 4 new tires, but they haven’t been filled with air in a long time so they might still work, who knows Lol. All are welcome to take a look if you like, shoot me an offer first and we’ll see where we can go from there.”

Check out the knob sticking out of the emergency brake hole. What is that? Also, the carburetor just barely sticks out of the hood. I suspect the air cleaner attaches above the hood? The seller notes that with the exception of the engine, everything is original, which isn’t true.
“This jeep is in good condition with a 52 overhead valve engine, everything else is original…Steering has been rebuilt…new battery…This has the 4 wheel drive with low and high…and it works good.. It shows 36967 but I can’t confirm this. This would make a great hunting/fishing jeep or one to just have fun in…thanks for looking..rudy”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
No offense to the seller, but the seller writes that the low retail value of these are $4100 and the high is $19,000. I suggest the seller visit eWillys for a dose of reality.

(03/27/09) I can’t tell if the body is rough or it’s just reflecting stuff due to its high polish.
