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 .

(03/24/2012) The engine needs some work.
“I’m selling my 1950 Jeep Willys CJ-3A. It’s been in the family for quite a few years. I’ve personally owned the vehicle since 2006.
The Jeep Runs and drive but it doesn’t drive too good because the motor needs tuned up, and the clutch needs fixed as you will see from the description below.
The Jeep needs quite a lot of work.
1. The engine needs a tune up, new spark plugs, etc. The timing is off a little.
2. Engine is overheating, it just shuts off when it gets too hot, but the head gasket is NOT blown.
3. Something is wrong with the clutch could be any component such as the linkage, pressure plate, etc. I have no clue what the source of the problem is.
4. Probably needs new gaskets for the differentials and the transfer case because there is a tiny leak of gear oil now and then.
5. Gas tank has a leak somewhere but you can’t actually visibly see gas leaking from the tank and dropping onto the ground.
6. Speedometer and odometer do not work.
7. The front end possibly needs rebuilt, a family member told me this by looking at it.
8. I believe these are all of the problems, but I’m not a mechanic, so I don’t know for certain.
Please remember this is an older vehicle, and everything on it is obviously old and not in perfect, ideal operating condition. The Jeep drives and handles quite well considering the fact that it is a 4×4 and a rugged stout Jeep.
4 WHEEL DRIVE WORKS, transfer case engages, hubs lock in, etc.
The motor is not original. It is a V6 from a 1973 Mercury Capri, and it has a Motorcraft two barrel carburetor. It also has a few new parts, nothing really major just little parts here and there such as a new electric fuel pump, new ignition coil.
DUAL EXHAUSTS WITH GLASSPACK MUFFLERS!! IT DOESN’T SOUND TOO BAD!!!
Tires are 33×12.5 BFG all terrains in the back, the two tires in front are just generic all terrains. Tires are older, but they are in good condition and have a lot of tread left on them.
American Racing Wheels.
Bucket Seats up front, bench in the back.
4-point racing harnesses for front bucket seats.
Body is in great condition, but not perfect. No Bondo or any hack jobs.
Full size mounted and balanced spare tire that is pretty old, and four new shocks go with the vehicle.
I would love for this Jeep to go to somebody who wants to own an awesome, one of a kind American made vehicle.
Clean Arizona title. It is ready to sell right now! THE Jeep is not currently registered.
$5100.00 OR BEST OFFER.
Please make me a fair offer. ALL REASONABLE OFFERS WILL DEFINITELY BE CONSIDERED. HIGHLY MOTIVATED SELLER!!!!”
UPDATE: Buz shot this picture while visiting Ocracoke Island in South Carolina last year. This year he discovered the history behind the wagon. Thanks Buz! I like the way you vacation 🙂

I’d like some bigger pics.
“One of a kind, very rare, the ultimate show jeep but built to crawl. This jeep is brand new from the ground up. Original 1955 cj-3b body on cj-5 frame. Built AMC 304 (tons of torque), Automatic 3 speed w/chetta speed shifter, high stall torque converter, wrapped headers with dual exhaust, remote transmission cooler. 35-10.5-15 micki thompsons on American racing rims, custom center console with all new gauges, split shift dana to control front and rear diffs indepently. It has less than 1000 miles on this beast (still has the fuzzies on theU tires). Drives straight down the road at 65 mph. This jeep was built to show and has never even seen a dirt road. I have all the sponsor sheets from the previous owner. The jeep was appraised in July 2011 (for insurance) and received 100 out of 100 points at $35,000. I have the original build sheets showing over $20k in parts alone, not including the parts I have added. Search the internet and you will not find another of this type that even comes close. No reasonable offer will be refused. I hate to see it go because I know I will not own another vehicle of this caliber. I can’t take it anywhere without someone asking for a picture. Nothing has been untouched. This vehicle is insured through state farm for the full 35k, they would not do this unless they knew it was truly worth every penny. 25,000 obo. or possible trade for newer, low mileage Toyota Tacoma or 4door rubicon.

(10/04/2011) Sounds like it has plenty of power. It could really use the back cage braces though (for my taste anyway).
