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 .

(04/01/2011) This has an OD. It also has a popup of some kind on the front of the hood. This might be a good deal.

(10/24/2010) It looks like this is a bit hacked along the passenger side. That engine is pretty dusty — I doubt it’s been started in a while.

Due to the snow along I-80 yesterday we decided to travel northward from Omaha to Washington along I-90. I mentioned to Ann I had never seen Mt. Rushmore and she said that I have to see it. So, this morning I will be ‘investigating’ the Rapid City, South Dakota, area for any jeeps. I will push my investigation as far south as Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse, so dedicated I am. Later today when we get back on the road for the remaining 14 hour drive, I will report on my success (or failure).
Seventeen year old James emailed me the other day asking if I’d like to stop by and see his jeep while I was in Denver. Of course, my answer was yes, so we arranged a time to visit yesterday.
After meeting him and his father, I learned that this was James’ first vehicle project. After deciding he wanted an old flat fender, he looked around some before he found a great deal on a 1950 CJ-3A with an overdrive, a sound body and frame, and a running engine. Unfortunately, after buying the jeep, he quickly discovered his 6’8″ body was a little lanky for a flattie. Since he is a little big for it, his goal is to give it a light restoration, get it running good, and then sell it. It looks oike a great father/son project and I wish them the best of luck with it! So, expect to see this CJ-3A available on eWillys at some future point. Thanks goes to James for emailing me and sharing his jeep.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500
Dan pointed out this fine looking CJ-5.

Engine hasn’t bee run in years.
“1955 Willys Jeep CJ3B, last brought out of the garage in 1997. Engine turns over, but I haven’t tried to start it. Upgrades – 12 volt system with alternator, newer (1995-no rust) steel body, soft top (no rips, clear windows) and hydraulic plow. Original — everything else! including F134 Hurricane Engine and entire drivetrain. 9000 original miles, clean NJ title. Passed NJ state inspection (standard, not historic) in 1997 and driven a few times that summer and a couple of times that winter to plow, otherwise this beautiful and complete jeep has been standing idle, and garaged! Purchased in 1996 from a guy who used it to plow his gas station to be able to take customers as it snowed. This is a barn find in NJ, ready to be driven or restored! $4000 firm.”
