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 $5000.
“made by hadley engineering in costa mesa california it is a 48-52 cj3/m38 built on 60s vwfront beam and rear torsion.has vw swingaxle with 1200cc engine runs and street legal.titled as vw”
As I have mentioned before, finding a good quality, original CJ-3A is much more difficult than finding a CJ-2A. This looks like a good one.

The price will likely drop for this project, but the pictures suggest the seller is right: This looks to be a good base for a project jeep.

I think this is the first jeep I've posted from Alabama. Either that's a brand new body or someone has taken very good care of that jeep.
"1946 Willys' Jeep Model CJ2A – civilian style. Yellow with black interior and black bikini top. All new (not rebuilt) front end, steering, tow ends, both transmissions and belts, hoses, etc. Parade ready."
Tomorrow, the 2008 PNW4WDA summer convention starts. This 3 day annual event used to be enormous, attracting clubs and hundreds of jeeps from all over the Pacific Northwest and Canada. Now, it's a much more intimate event, but still fun.
Obviously, I didn't get my jeep done in time for Summer Convention this year, but it will be ready next year for some jeeping and some racing!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
“1954 Jeep Willys 3b project. This Jeep would make a perfect project or with a little work make the pefect Hunters Jeep. It has the High hood, Buick V6 motor and a PTO winch. It has been sitting for a few years and at this time does not run. If you have any questions give me a call and I will answer them the best I can.”
I went shopping at the junkyard today. After a couple hours I came back with a steel fan and a flex fan (I couldn’t decided between them), a transmission cooler, some brake lines, and some other parts. Yes, I had fun as usual and was only out $15.
I tried mounting the steel fan, but the bolt holes weren’t quite right. I tried the flex fan and that will work, but I am worried about the integrity of it. So, I decided to get online and learn more about fans. One bit of info I ran across concerned horsepower vs. different types of fans. Here’s the info from the site.
“Was reading the May 2000 ‘Car Craft’ and I came across something very interesting. They did a dyno test on a 496 horsepower chubby, {yes, I know — but we can still get some useful info on this…} and they tested different cooling fans to see what kind of drag each different type has.
Alternator, no fan: 496 hp
Black Magic electric fan:494 hp
Thermal clutch fan: 487 hp
Nonthermal clutch fan: 485 hp
Heavy duty thermal clutch fan: 476 hp
High performance flex fan: 476 hp
Stock four blade fan: 473 hp
Low profile flex fan: 466 hp
One piece plastic flex fan: 460 hp
OE replacement six blade rigid fan: 449 hp
They found the alternator alone, a 63 amp unit, only sucked 1 horsepower.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
“very rare 1965 tuxedo park mark IV. there was only 459 of these jeeps ever produced and this model is the original long bed of jeeps. It has a very strong v-6 engine with 99,150 miles on it and it also has an extra gas tank for those long backcountry trips. The four wheel high and low work perfectly and the front lockers turn very smoothly.”
