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.
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** Was listed at $3600.
(12/20/2013) Lots of pics on Craigslist. The seller included a video below.

Original removable hard top by Koenig Iron Works, Inc.
Farm fresh

Boy, I hope somebody appreciates what we see here, a first edition 3B with Factory Accessories, stock as she can be. Up here in Rust Belt Maine we don’t get starts like this, an original Black Plate CA Baby. Choose your color and what a straight CJ3B you’ve got, without endless dice and splice panels. I’ve shipped these across country for less than 2 grand. You can’t beat that CA Iron. Thanks to Dave for exposing us to the likes of this.
Oh, In case you don’t know, Grass Valley is East of Sacramento on I-80 about half way to Donner Pass. When I was trucking in the 80’s my cousin lived there and had a Cute Red Jeep. The CA Chain Law would hold us until a storm passed or we had chains enough for our rigs to get over the top, about 50 miles. Several trucks would pool our chains to get legal, and CUZ Tom would take Red Jeep over the top to bring the chains back to the next guy. Sounds crazy, but you do what you have to do to Keep on Truckin’. I’ve seen trucks sit at Grass Valley or on the other side West of Reno for several days waiting to get through. CUZ Tom had to defend his abode to get rid of me.
Great story, Glenn!
Donner Pass on I-80 has to be one of the great memories from my trucking days. The history of that spot is especially important for all to remember, whether in covered wagon or semi. From mid August or May could really screw up your schedule dealing with that stretch of road, just 100 miles from Sacramento to Reno, we were at the mercy of the weather demons. That Red CJ5 saved the day. Glenn
She’s sold. Brought her home today!
Excellent Greg! Thanks for the update. I’ll update the post. Have fun!
