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 .

“Well, here we go loyal Jeep fans. Don’t let this one get away. This may be your last chance to own an ORIGINAL RUST FREE CJ-3B. If you are looking for a truly rust free example, then this is it! No new panels, no new floors, no new fenders, all body panels and tub are original to this CJ-3B. Never any rust repairs, all original sheet metal. Mostly original paint, touched up here and there over its 50 years. Underside is clean as the topside. All drive train is original and in terrific condition. Original WARN OVERDRIVE was installed by the 1st owner to allow driving on the roads without taxing the engine with high RPM’s. All general maintenance was performed last fall by a licensed mechanic. Top and door frames are original with new black fabric in excellent condition. Original wheels included. Original owners manual and service manuals included.
A few years ago I went on a search to find an original, not restored, rust free CJ-3B. I always liked the high hood look of the 3B. I intended to bring it to our family camp and use it as a grocery getter and let the family use it to scout around. I didn’t mind doing the mechanical maintenance on it, but did not want to chase rust. I found this 3B from a southern man who was the second owner. He had the 3B for seven years and put 6000 miles on it. The maintenance was done by a family member who was a licensed mechanic. The general items, brakes, wiring, hoses, etc were tended to. It was always garage kept and used primarily for pleasure. Although he did accumulate a few prizes at local car shows. The 1st owners used it for forty-one years on the family compound. It was garage kept and accumulated 29,000 miles. General maintenance was kept up with no major events logged. It has a clear title. I had the 3B shipped to me and had a licensed mechanic run through it. I brought it into town twice (6 miles), but never to camp. The 3B has sat in a humidity controlled warehouse waiting to venture out. Unfortunately, work has kept me at bay and it looks like it will continue into next year. It is time to pass the torch on this CJ-3B to someone who can enjoy it!”
This appears in good shape.

The seller has a variety of war and war props for sale. He notes MB and GPW parts are for sale as well. The vehicle below appears to be a GPW. I talked with my friend Van recently and Van mentioned that he assembled some prop jeeps for use as film props and sometimes used a variety of vehicle parts. So, you might want to check this jeep out closely (it might or might not have been assembled by Van).
“For Sale: I am thinning my large collection of WWII and Korean War era collectables.
I have been collecting World War 2 period uniforms, gear and equipment for the past 35 years. I have focused my colleting primarily on the items used by the good guys (the Allies, Army, Air force, Marines, Navy), but I do have a good smattering of German and Japanese items as well.
I have flight helmets (WW2 and postwar), flight jackets, goggles, oxygen masks, foot wear, shirts trousers, khakis, Officers and enlisted class A’s, helmets, radios, coats, MB GPW jeep parts, ammo pouches, raincoats, field gear, crates, ammo boxes, bayonets, holsters, Leather Garand Scabbards, pistol belts, garand / carbine parts and accessories and lots, lots more.
I also manufacture and can supply military canvas items for vehicle restorations and period field gear.
I produced the majority of field gear used in the productions of “Band of Brothers”, “Windtalkers” and I was the Senior Military Technical Advisor for the great, locally produced film “Saints and Soldiers”. In fact, most of the collectables I will be selling were used as wardrobe and props in that production.
I am reasonable on prices, the more you buy, the better deal I will make you.
Please call or e-mail and let me know what you like and what your looking for. I will let you know if I have it.
801-494-9852 Cell- please note, my number was incorrectly listed previosly. This is my correct number.
Peace, Ray”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed at $3150.
This might be a very good price on a DJ-3A. The seller has this listed as a 1949 DJ. I’d be very curious to learn the serial number.
“1949 Willys Jeep DJ 2-wheel drive 4-cyl runs good drive it home. Three speed on the floor new tires, new radiator and new battery 12volt system”
Hotchkiss’ don’t pop up for sale here in the U.S. too often. You can learn more about them on Andy’s M201 website.
“Although I’ve owned many jeeps this was my first and only Hotchkiss so I am not an expert. A few other projects force me to sell this baby. What is unbelievable bout this jeep is its condition for an unrestored jeep. It is very solid. As for the drive train it is all in excellent condition. The jeep is now riding on four combat wheels and a spare combat wheel (I think combat wheels look better than original hotchkiss wheels). The engine bay is very complete and correct. This is one of those jeeps you can enjoy for many years. During its life it has been registered and titled as an MB but from my research it is a hotchkiss which you don’t see too many of. According to the tag on the motor is say that DATE DE RECEPTION IS 2/10/63, I don’t know if that is considered to be delivery date or not but I am determining the jeep to be a 63 based on that information, if I’m incorrect feel free to email me. This jeep looks even better in person so come see it if you can. For the buy it now price I have a tandem tow bar as well as a T1 compressor that I will include. I would recommend keeping it in this condition and never restore it. I would drive this jeep anywhere in the US from California to New York, that is how good this baby runs. I am not a mechanic so, in an effort to keep everybody happy I recommend that all interested parties come see and inspect the jeep before bidding. I will consider MA, GPA or Bantam parts and manuals as partial trade towards the jeep. Good luck and happy bidding. For last minute questions feel free to contact me at colshlby65@aol.com or 702-768-9972.”

(02/11/2011) Looks like a good rig.
“This is my dad’s CJ. He bought it a few years back and never used it. It is one of the cleanest Willys you’ll see. It has a nice lift, small winch, rear locker, custom dash and seats. Candy Apple Paint, CB, a new top and doors. He just had the Carb professionally rebuilt but somehow it isn’t running right. May be the carb or how dad hooked it up??? Has an f-head 4 cylinder with a trick custom intake, 3 spd, power steering with saginaw box, Caddy titl wheel and more. He paid $5000 just a few years back and has dumped more money into it. He would like it gone this weekend so cash talks but seriously no BS offers this is a clean rig for the right guy it’s cheap too”
