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 $500
The price on this project will drop. This could also be a rare ’49 CJ-2A.
“1949 Jeep Willys fame and body. Excellent project vehicle. No transmission or engine”
Several of our finest in Blue from Arizona read ewillys daily. One of the readers asked about diamond plating for old flatties. I can’t say I was much help, but maybe some of you have a suggestion?
Here is what I wrote:
It appears Warrior Products (http://www.warriorproducts.com/order.html) is the only company making them still (that I can find). Most of the links below are the same product sold at different prices.

I’d like some better pics of this. I don’t think the pics do this justice.
“RED WILLY JEEP. RARE DISPATCHER DJ3 ALL ORIGINAL. RUNS GOOD. SOFT TOPS INCLUDED. IF INTERESTED YOU CAN CALL ME @ 209 535-7173.”
**SOLD** Was listed for $500
“No title, not presently running. Motor turns over with starter. Ran good and 4 wheel drive worked about 8 years ago. Brakes weren’t working at that time. I sold it and it sat around since then. I got it back and tried to start it but was unsuccessful. It no longer has a rear drive line or air cleaner. If you have either of those parts you’d like to sell, let’s talk. Hope to add pictures to ad tomorrow.
UPDATE: Was $1500. **SOLD**
This is rough. It does include some early manuals as well.
“must be able to tow. needs quite a bit of work. have all the original papers, and pink slip. doesnt run. wouldn’t take much work to make it run. I’m asking 1,500 obo”
I’ve posted a number of jeeps tonight. I still have 12 more to post, but I’m going to bed. I’ll get them up in the AM.

I never had one of these growing up.
“Antique toy jeep. Approximate age 70 yrs. Original paint. Right tip of front bumper missing/broken off. Pop-up windshield missing. 10.25″ Long X 5.50″ Wide X 3.50″ High.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6900.
This looks like a nice CJ-3B, but the pics aren’t too close up.
“1953 CJ3B High Hood in great shape. Has 302 Ford engine that runs good. Check out the photos and that pretty well shows the condition this rig is in. 3Bs in good condition are getting tough to find.”
Here’s a nice looking CJ-2A for our Canadian Readers. My webserver says you exist 🙂
“This Jeep runs good. Has PTO and Governor. Call me at 306 241 4608 for more information. Local Pickup.”
UPDATE: Was $2800. **SOLD**
