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: Still Available. As Colin notes, Jeepster weren’t produced until 1948.
(08/04/2023) This is pretty unique and appears well done.

Mike shared this DJ-5-transformed-into-a-smoker (in the back) and grille (under the hood).

“Pull up with this at your next party. Built from the shell of an old postal jeep. 18 ga steel welded in the cargo area(back) and sealed and all shelves (2) are on rollers so they pull out. Side back windows have shelf to keep things warm. Under the hood you have a 36″ flat top griddle for cooking. I built a fire box that only uses wood or charcoal. I used only hickory wood. Smoker is mounted on a trailer for easy towing. All lights on jeep except headlights work as they should .”
If you’ve always wanted a DJ-BBQ, this is your chance.

“This is a 1972 Jeep grill costume built look close”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
For $1500 you can buy a pretty good smoker and a bbq.
“1952 Willy’s Jeep BBQ/Smoker. This smoker is tow-able and works great. Has built in fold down table in back with storage in cab area. We’ve used it for many years.
$1500 obo or trades (dirt bikes or boat)”
Given non-running DJ-5s can be picked up for under $1000, I’ll be curious to see if this sells for the asking price. No description provided.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $2000.

(06/14/2015) This CJ-3A was repurposed into a bbq.
“1952 Willys that has been modified into a BBQ! Works awesome! Smoked Ribs, Brisket and lots of Pork on it! Adjustable firebox. Heat range of 150 to 500 degrees. $1000 obo or Trade…”
I saw this CJ-5 bbq on Facebook. I thought I’d better add it to the BBQ posts.
