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 photo shows the new Ken Smith Motors Jeep franchise. The photo appeared in the May 22, 1965, issue of The News, out of Paterson, New Jersey.
This made the local news yesterday. Some genius thought loading this SUV into the back of a U-Haul was a good idea. However, the State Patrol was less impressed.
This won’t last long.

“1944 Jeep Willys. Still has original engine. Has current tags and runs great. Its a great little jeep for taking on back roads and trails. It is easily pulled behind another vehicle. Odometer shows 24k miles but not sure how accurate that is.”
Looks like a good build.

“***POSTING FOR A FRIEND *** Has a Chevy 305 V8. 4 speed with O/D, P/S, and tilt steering wheel. Tires are great. Warn locking hubs. Bikini top.”
Glenn’s listed this CJ-3B for sale. It looks in good shape.

“This is a 1953 Jeep cj3b that my dad bought in 1961. It has been garaged all the time only driven in the summer and put up on blocks in the winter. There is no rust on the body or frame. A Warn overdrive has been added and Warn hubs. The seats have been reupulstered with new fabric and foam. The top is in good condition and nearly new. It has been converted to 12volt and the spare tire moved to the rear. The original tire mount and 6 volt parts go with it.”
This was/is a VEC CJ-2A, though it has some mods now.. Note the early windshield, too.

“1946 CJ 2A. Has a Chevy 235 bolted to a T90 trans and Dana 20 transfer case. Has a Dana 30 front axle with disk breaks and an AMC 20 factory posi rear end. Needs some work still. Frame repaired in front and plated.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8950.
This has a variety of updates.
“1962 Willy’s Jeep station wagon, Panel Van 350 V8 , 350 automatic transmission. It has the original 4 wheel drive axles but no transfer case. Running and driving restoration project. We have owned this for years and used it for advertising. Clean and clear title in hand. $8950. May trade.”
This 2A has some updates and has been militarized. The seller notes the jeep ran prior to the rebuild. So, it’s not clear to me if it currently runs?

“1947 Willys Jeep CJ2a refurbished, close to being motor pool ready. Thousands spent in parts and time. I have to move and cannot take it with me. Small list of new items….12v starter, 12v alternator, new glass, new rubber cowl and glass, new canvas and seat cushions, battery, cables, steering wheel, electronic distributor (no points) brand new Firestone tires (military) never driven on pavement, brand new tubes, new hoses, aluminum radiator, new light switches, new choke and throttle cable, new gas tank, new fuel lines, floor liner. 47 Washington plate, restored professionally ,title in hand, never have to buy tabs. And the list goes and on. Ran before I started restoration. All extra parts that I have for it will go with it. I am open to offers.”
This is a short hop from where I used to live in Pasco. It includes lots of parts. This may be worth a look if you want a truck project.

“Willy’s pickup with LOTs of spare parts. Selling all together – no trades. No title and currently doesn’t run. More photos available by request. $2,900 OBO.”
UPDATE: Still Available. Was listed at $12,500.
This tribute-to-the-surrey-DJ-3A has been listed in multiple locations, but is located in Modesto, California (based on the plates). The jeep was being auctioned, but the auction ended this morning with a highest bid of $4k.
(03/06/2022) This DJ-3A was modified into a Surrey-like jeep. It looks in great shape.
