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 one of several automobiles the seller has for sale.

UPDATE: The seller has added a trailer into the deal
(01/09/09) It looks like there might be some rust on the driver’s side, but hard to tell for sure from the pic.

I think at least some of these images are from Israel? If not, I believe they are from that general area.
The first one might be the newest. I’m not sure if the grilles and fenders are armored or not, but most certainly appear heavy duty.
Note how thin and tall the tires are on this jeep.
Now, that seat below can’t be comfortable for long drives!
In the two pics below, the people look like they are from ‘Rat Patrol, The Reality Series’. I think either the jeep in this first pic is a 1948 or the image was taken in 1948?
Searching for something else, I discovered Chris Kelley’s blog and his new Willys: a 1956 DJ-3A with 4wd. I’ve seen enough DJ-3As with 4wd that I asked Bruce if he knew whether any DJ-3As came with a 4wd package, but to the best of his knowledge (which is the best I know of) he said there was no 4wd option of which he was aware.
Chris writes on his website about new purchase (sept 7 09) “Yep, you’re looking at a 1956 (sort of) CJ3a (sort of) Willy’s Overland Jeep (completely!). Its sort of a 56 since that’s what the tub plate says. Its also only sort of a CJ3A since the tub plate also says its a DJ3a, which was a 2 wheel drive version made for the postal service and other delivery trucks. However, my best guess is that someone replaced the original tub with the one it has now, since this does have 4WD.”
It’s a good looking jeep, though there’s a small ding in the passenger rear, and here some pics from his site:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4200
This is a blend of CJ-3A and CJ-5.

This is completely disassembled. It just needs ‘alot of love’ according to the seller.

No pics. The motor is out.
“This is a STEAL!! We currently have the motor out of it but with it in, it is worth $6000. It would be a great investment and hobby. Email me if you have any questions.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $2750.
The seller notes there’s rust, but I can’t see much on the pics. It’s almost ready for the road, but the seller doesn’t mention what it needs. (thanks Robert!)
“1960 Willys 4X4 wagon with original continental ‘226’ 6 cyl engine, 3 spd high an low. Optional lock outs, snow plow and p.t.o. winch. The engine is an excellent factory rebuilt. Body has usual midwest rust with amateur patchs and paint. It drove excellent, but had a click in reverse. I pulled cover off trans an discovered tooth out of reverse idler gear. Have parts to fix. No time this winter. Will offer as is for $2750. Body panels available, and restored these are bringing big bucks. Will consider storing until summer if paid for.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
(08/09/09) “Rebuilt 134 L-head and T-90 trans. good shape.”
