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 .
It’s not completely stock, but appears in good condition.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $8000
(02/09/2010) Here’s a nice a Wagon.
“1959 Willys just turned 100 thousand miles. 4-Wheel without overdrive. Third owner. Purchased new in Denver then lived in Moscow for twenty something years before being sold to second owner some eight miles away. First owner changed the generator over to an alternator. Other than that no foolish “improvements.” Second owner had it also for twenty or so years and I have had it since. None of us have abused this marvelous machine in any way. Original engine and drivetrain and just about everything else but the battery and tires. Second owner rebuilt the engine about thirty thousand miles ago. No oil use. Performs as new. Cruises at sixty without any unstability or wander or excess rpm demand. NOT restored to show car condition but finished quite nicely for use with no ugly surprises. I installed a new gas gauge sender a year or so ago and it works just fine until yesterday when I put some gas in and the gauge dropped to zero. I care not to take the time now to troubleshoot it. This Willys is about as close in appearance and original working condition to when it was new as one is likely to find outside of a museum. No, the paint is not original but done about two years ago by a show car body shop. The body is not flawless as I elected to preserve the car with its history of only the fewest of dings yet if it were flawless it would most surely not be driven for fear of scratching it. This is a user and cruiser. Solid throughout. I am pleased to answer any questions or send additional photos though do not waste my time if you are not seriously prepared to buy and I will not waste yours. Located in downtown Palouse adjacent to St. Elmos Hotel on Main Street directly across from the tavern. Available for viewing just about any time or day though please do not just stop by to do anything other than hands-off looking without an appointment. Please email with any questions or to set a viewing appointment as I am not usually near a phone.”

I think the pics say it all! Here are a couple pics of the matching Bantam Trailer.
“Awesome Old Willys!!!!!! It has Willys dealership ad ons including: 3 POINT HITCH, DUAL REAR WHEELS, and POWER TAKE OFF. ONLY 78k ORIGINAL MILES. Ready for the Show!! Featured in September 2001 4 Wheel and Off road magazine. WON 2000 Four Wheeler Magazines “BEST CLASSIC 4×4″ Award. Meet super low reserve price and I will throw in a classic matching Bantam Trailer for the Jeep!!!! You won’t ever have to worry about anyone in the neighborhood having the same vehicle as you for sure.
This old jeep is lots of fun, runs great and is an awesome deal. 10’s of thousands $$$$$$$$$$$$$ invested to make this Jeep the best it can be. Buy it for a fraction.
Frame off NOS body with all stainless hardware. No expense spared. I am ready for something else, so my loss is your gain. Please ask any questions you have and anything else you need to know I will try to provide.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1050.
“One of a kind Willys wagon, would make a great restoration project, has a winch and extra parts, also front bumper. no motor, needs total restoration. Have title in hand and two different catalogues for ordering Willys parts. Serious buyers only please, call any time:”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,900
This looks like a very nice wagon, but the hood doesn’t look like it quite fits right in the front (or maybe it’s an optical illusion).
“New brakes, battery, tires like new, RUST FREE BODY.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500
(04/29/2010) This is CJ-3B on top and ’71 CJ-5 on the bottom. The front shackles have been reversed. Much more done as well (the seller provides a very long description in the Ad).
“What I have is a CJ3B siting on a 1971 CJ5 Frame, so it has been titled as a 71 CJ3B. It has a strong running Buick 225 V6 Oddfire, T18 4spd transmission with granny 1st. and new clutch, Fresh rebuilt Dana 20 transfer case, newer drivelines and U-Joints, open knuckle Dana 30 front with disk breaks (no locker), Dana 44 rear with welded spiders, Front shackle conversion, Rancho lift springs (sprung under axle), Powder Coated black custom front and rear bumpers, Hi-Lift mount on rear with storage rack, SW guages (fuel, amps, oil, water temp, tachometer all work fine) Speedometer gear just went out so it needs replacing on the transfer case otherwise it works fine, has brand new cable. Lights and signals works perfect, even hazards. Brakes are great, 4×4 works flawlessly. Solid body and frame. Frame has been braced in the weak spots. Good 32×9.50 TSL’s on black steel wheels with allot of offset to keep the tires out further, it will fit 35’s with a shackle lift…..”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Here’s an original, lightly used Jeep.
“1954 willys military jeep. under 30,000 miles. has recently been painted. tires are original and in good condition. all parts are original except 2 new batteries, no canvas top. have some metal frame work for top. body , inner wheel well and framework appear to be rust free. been in storage for 18 years that we know of. reduced to $3,000.00.”
Starting bid is $5000.
“For Sale, 1963 Jeep Fleetvan FJ3A, i have had this for a couple of years, it sat in a fire hall for years. This fleevan is the rare longer version, not to many made. It has 13,760 original miles, and a working siren and red light. There is a couple of rust spots on it, nothing major, see pictures. Runs great! Brakes are good, will need new tires. I had the seat and sunvisors reupholstered red with flames stiched in them. Thanks for looking”
UPDATE: a reader reports this is sold. Was for sale for $8k.
I’m gonna guess that this is a rare 1968 CJ-3B titled as a 1969, as I believe ’68 was the last production year.
“1969 willys Jeep. Professionally built 302 engine mileage in picture is actuall miles on the engine. 3 speed manual transmission. High and low range 4-wheel drive w/lock in hubs. Has been rebuilt as a project looking to sell so I can buy another one and rebuild it. You can email me for more pictures.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
Matt spotted this nice Cj. It has low mileage and looks great.
“1960 Willys Jeep CJ5 18,025 miles from new, very original unmolested. I am the second owner. The original upholstery is nice under the seat covers. Original spare tire still mounted on back. Comes with fiber glass top and 7″ Western plow. The original engine has been rebuilt by North Star Willys. It has a new exhaust, brakes, clutch, battery, belts and hoses. I have all receipts. This Jeep is completely bone stock, drive it home”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a good looking CJ-3B. The seller provides a nicely detailed description. The drain holes have been filled in.
“Here is a very nice 1953 Willys CJ-3B that is roadworthy. I run errands in it frequently. I have the title in my name so no drama there. The Jeep is still mostly original with the Hurricane engine and T-90 transmission, both of which work great. The engine starts right up hot or cold, no smoke and is very smooth. I’ve had the Jeep for two years, and from what I’ve been told by the previous owner, the Jeep was totally refurbished 12 years ago. I have no reason to doubt that. The paint still has some shine but there are some surface rust spots. There is also rust on the drivers side support for the fender. Also some rust on a cross member under the tub near the rear wheel wells. Since I’m in the disclosing mode, the only gauges that are hooked up are the temperature gauge and the oil pressure gauge. The odometer works but the speedometer has a broken needle. The ampere meter and the gas gauge are not hooked up and will be good things for a “to do” list. The seats are not original and in pretty bad shape under the seat covers, but they look okay. The emergency brake cable needs to be replaced….”
UPDATE: Still Available
