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 .
Looks in good shape.

“This is not a Jeep Cherokee that FB keeps altering title. It is a Willys 1954 CJ3B chassis. Manual transmission. Have windshield, gas tank and front grill. Motor, transmission and transfer case have been gone through. Have title. PM with questions/interested.”
Question:
I had a Jeep where everything underneath was painted blue at one time. (now covered in black paint). I’ve noticed a few people paint everything blue when building a Jeep from the frame up, like this one. Does anyone know where or why this practice originated?
By underneath, do you mean the underside of the body or the frame (and other chassis parts)? I always paint the chassis black, but there’s not hard and fast rule about it (unless you are trying to do an accurate restoration).
Not the body, but the frame and suspension parts. I thought “blue” was an odd color for the frame and associated parts. If it was Ford engine/trans and Tcase, those parts make sense. I guess my main problem is thinking everyone thinks like me. 😂
I’m a simple guy with simple tastes == black chassis. I don’t have the color sense to attempt to use an alternative. I’ll have to hunt down a yellow and green project that was for sale years ago (I think out of Enumclaw, Washington). Let’s just say it did not sell quickly!
They say dogs look like their owners and horses are a window into a persons soul. Certainly these Jeeps make a statement about their owners!
