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 .

UPDATE: **SOLD**
“Here is an unmodified Willys flathead Jeep with very little rust and no patch panels. The only rust I have noticed is in the outside fender steps and one small area on top of the rear wheel well. The foot, gas tank and tool box wells are solid with no repairs. The wheels and buzz saw have been sand blasted and power coated. The original L134 flathead engine runs strong and all 6v electricals work including the gauges and horn. Turn signals have been added but the original wiring harness has been left intact. Vacuum windshield wiper works (except when going up hills). Transmission has an oil leak; shifts well with no noises. Steering is tight; brakes need adjustment. Clutch rattles when pedal is depressed but works fine.
Includes a complete buzz saw assembly that attaches to the rear of the jeep. It is driven off a flat belt pulley on the rear PTO. The PTO drive shaft is bent but still works. It comes with an engine governor which needs a control arm. The speed control handle is still present on the dash. Also comes with top bows for a soft top.”
This DJ-3A Convertible is #30 (SN #10030). It looks like they opted for a hardtop rather than a soft top. It’s been sitting in a barn for many years, but looks pretty stock. The jeep has a Sears Aluminum Deluxe top, so hopefully the floors are in good shape. You’ll see on the engine an original dry-type air filter. The engine compartment also has a washer bag, suggesting this has a windshield sprayer; I wonder if it was foot powered? t only has a single vacuum wiper (the passenger side is a hand wiper). It may make a great restoration project. The seller listed it on Facebook here:

“For the past 50+ years it has been driven roughly 30-50 miles per year. It was owned by a former board member of the Reno Air Show and was trailered from Reno to the event and only used to drive around the grounds of the show. Still has the original stickers from the air shows on the front wind shield. Recently had service done on the brakes, oil, etc.
Most likely one of the cleanest non-show car 75 year old vehicles you will see. Recently we did $1400.00 worth of maintenance. Runs great. Would like to find it a nice home.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Maury spotted this silver anniversary CJ-5.
“1979 Jeep CJ-5 SA: This extremely rare Jeep is an incredible investment opportunity. In the second half of 1979 Jeep built less than 1000 of the CJ 5 Silver Anniversary editions. There are an estimated 40 still in existence today with any chance of being restored. Less than 10 with the original motor and transmission and no rust! That makes this one of only 10 left in the world. I encourage you to do some research yourself into the collectibility of this rare vehicle. They will only go up in value!
It is “Car Show Clean” and ready to drive across country. Just add gas and enjoy. With 54,000 original miles this Jeep does well on the road, never sees mud and drives like a dream. It was garage kept for most of its life and only driven around town. The original front seats were replaced with aftermarket along with the steering wheel and shift knob. The original Silver Anniversary emblem is still on the glove compartment door and the VIN can be verified.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8250.
(05/22/2017) Look solid.
“have: replaced the wheels with correct reproduction units; all new Coker reproduction tires and tubes; replaced all the gauges–fuel, speedo, voltage, oil pressure, temp (mileage is unknown, I have put about 500 miles on the odometer since replacement of original speedometer); all body work done correctly and new paint (sand/olive color, purchased from Quarter Ton and Military in Chickamauga, Georgia); new exhaust/muffler; new transmission main bearings; new solex carburetor; new clutch and throw-out bearing; new fuel sender in gas tank; new bikini top; new electric windshield wiper (driver’s side); new side and rearview mirrors; all new coachmen loops; all new brakes shoes and slave cylinders; rebuilt original horn ($600 dollars if you can find one!); new hood latches and hinge; rebuilt steering box and new steering links/tie rods and ends; new dash placards; new shifter boots; hemp tow rope (on front bumper); new choke cable; etc (sure I’m forgetting some things)!
Everything works as it should (lights, blinker,etc). A blast to drive, lots of comments–especially from envious Wrangler drivers!”
UPDATE: This has a CJ chassis and has a few other non-M-38 elements.
“This thing rolled of the line in 1952. Built for greatness? Absolutely. It runs like a complete champ. This 3-speed manual shifts incredibly. You’re probably thinking “Oh no it’s a stick, but I don’t know how to drive a stick…” If that’s the case, it’s time for you to sack the heck up… Put on your learning pants and let me teach you one of the most essential life lessons you can have as an American citizen.
Don’t worry the tricky stuff has already been done on this bad to the bone 1952 Willy’s M38 Military Jeep. The tranny has been rebuilt with all new gears. As usual, I’m writing slowly because I know you can’t read fast… Motor was completed prior to me purchasing. While, I’m unsure of how many miles are this thing, I’m sure it’s got some memories. Some of the gauges are working, some are not. Which is pretty common for an almost 70 year old vehicle! I have installed a new alternator, 12 volt battery, and have changed all the bulbs. I do have the old 6 volt generator which will go with it.

UPDATE: Still Available.
Looks in great shape.
