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 .
This is a Willys Jeep that was assembled from parts and pieces in the early 1960’s by Joe Ferrero and used as a Shriner’s parade vehicle through the early 1990’s. It appears to be a DJ-3A.
They acquired the Willys needing repair. With a minor ressurection – this vehicle is functioning as a parade vehicle. Features include all the bells and whistles (literally), a squirting telephone, bottle openers, and a keg that is accessible through the side of the vehicle.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
(10/03/2010) Unusual ‘roll bars’, unusual bumper and unusual paint job ….
“1948 Willy’s jeep, 4 cylinder, runs good, new army style tires installed. Rear end was rebuilt and ran one season at deer lease. Body is in great shape, has heavy gauge steel bumper with tow tong. Needs a little help on seats and brakes but will make a great hunting vehicle or farm truck. Currently painted in camo colors..”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
(04/25/172010) This jeep is great for African safaris.
“1953 Willys CJ-3A. Great project jeep. Last of the flat fenders, would make an awesome rock crawler/off roader. I have too many other projects and not enough time to devote to refurbing this classic”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4995. Now for sale here:
(11/09/09) “The original high hood Willys Overland “Jeep” universal in excellent original condition. This is not one of those old jeeps that has been ruined by installing a v-8. these were not made to go fast, they were made to go anywhere! Original F-134 4 cyl. engine with oil bath air cleaner. Rebuilt running gear inc. complete engine/transfer case rebuild, new clutch & brakes, upgraded to 12 v alternator. New fuel pump, regulator, solenoid and re-built original starter. Extras include Warn PTO winch, roll bar, soft top & rear bench seat. Clean in and out, no rust, never wrecked. Must see to appreciate. I’ve owned it for over 30 years and got it from my Grandfather so I can tell you it’s entire history.”
This is a nice looking rig.
“1948 Restored Willys Jeep. 350 Small block. Muncie Rock Crusher 4 speed. Great Condition. Our dad was a Willys Jeep enthusiast. He rebuilt 50+ Willys Jeeps in his lifetime. He rarely drove this jeep the past 10+ years due to health limitations. The jeep has always been stored in a garage. The top is like new and includes doors. The jeep has a full roll cage that is welded into the body. Comes with an extra windshield and a hood that has a hood scoop and stripes that match the striping on the jeep. The hydraulic clutch has a leak and the gas gauge doesn’t work. There are a few small chips around the door channels where you get in. Other than that the jeep is in fine running condition. A extremely nice vintage vehicle that will provide someone with a lot of fun.”
I haven’t seen a Texas hunting jeep in a while.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a project, but there is some value. It has a PTO. Has a Kelly hardtop.
“I dont know much about willys jeeps , the man I got it from said everything works like it should . It started smoking and he took the head off the engine and lost interest in fixing it . It has been about 2 months since it has been cranked and when he tore the engine down . The jeep is very clean for its age and has a hard top with doors . All the glass is good and unbroken except for the windshield , which has a large crack down the center of it. The tires look to be very new and excellent shape with very deep lugs on the thread. It has a tow bar on the front end and a bumper with place to put a trailer ball on the rear . Would make a excellent hunting jeep or a great restoration peice . I am unsure of the exact year model , I was told it is a cilivian jeep not a military jeep. Has high and low range transfer-case and four wheel drive . Does have some rust , mainly the drivers floor board next to the door . It is painted camo all over with leave print on it . Jeep is for sale as-is , where-is , and I am not promising anything . I have described it to the best of my knowledge . It has warn lock-in lock-out hubs . The exhaust system looks to be recently replaced . The doors , back hatch and tail-gate open and shut as they should . Has seats that flip up in the middle to access the back . No rear seat . All parts to the engine are inside the Jeep , including the carburator .”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $30,000
(04/15/2011) This has an unusual paint job. It’s got the wrong tailgate.
” -1948 Willys Jeep 47CJ2A Original 4 cylinder Willys engine – runs very good but not driven very often, Body is straight, Back half interior floor has diamond plate protection, New tailgate, Sport wheels, Chrome front and rear bumpers, Ramsey 9000 lb winch front mounted, Trailer hitch, Front and rear tow hooks. Were open 10a-6p M-Sat. We LOVE trade-ins and Cash Offers”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Check out the the bulges in the entry points on both the passenger and driver’s sides. Somehow the body or entire frame & body have been bent down in the center. Add to this strange issue is the claim this rig only has 17k miles or so. Then there are the modified steps and modified gas tank inlet. I’d run the other direction on this one.

With that cammo paint job it is hard to determine the state of the body. It appears pretty good though.
