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 .

(03/14/2015) It’s a project. Body is fiberglass.
“Selling my CJ3A project. It is coming down the home stretch for completion but my interests have changed. It is listed as a 1951 but there is hardly any of the original parts left on it. Below is the list of modifications made to improve it’s abilities. The goal was to make this a trail ready Jeep for weekends. It runs and drives well.
-Front and Rear Dana 44s (like a Rubicon)-both completely rebuilt, front has disc brakes
-4.88 gears with Detroit Locker/TruTrack
-Engine is Buick 4.1L Even Fire w. a 4 barrel Quadrajet carb
-Transmission is a TH350 w. Advanced Adapter to mount the original D18 transfer case
-B & M Shifter
-Full Pre-Bent DOM Roll Cage (http://extremecustomparts.com/i-6292281-cj-willys-jeep-full-roll-cage-kit-cj2-cj2a-free-shipping.html)
-Power Steering Conversion
-Rear mounted gas tank from a postal Jeep, to get it out of the cab
-Suspension is Rubicon Express 2.5″ Wrangler Leaf springs(longer and wider than stock, better ride)
-Fiberglass Body = No Rust
-Has a new NOS BestTop Tiger Top
-35″ Super Swamper Truxxus M/T tires (like new) on alloy wheels
What it needs:
-The roll cage needs to be finished. It is prebent, just needs welding.
-The electrical harness is out of 60s CJ5. The taillights and turn signals (included) need to be connected.
-Paint it the color of your choice.
Looking for $6800 or interesting diesel/crew cab trades.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Has a fiberglass body. Appears to have potential.
“1959 Willys Jeep CJ5. Restored. Fiberglass body. Engine rebuilt at machine shop in Leland and Transmission rebuilt by shop in Wilmington. New brakes with new lines and master cylinder. Frame refinished with POR 15. Needs some more TLC but have the parts for most of the work.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3000.
Lots of upgrades, but still a project. It has a bobcat body with the passenger side gas inlet (life mine). I’d bet this is one of the early heavy bodies.
