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 on eBay.
Maury spotted this DJ-3A brochure, form number W241-6.
“You are bidding on an old and original undated 8 1/2 x 11″ folder that is advertising the Jeep Dispatcher. It is in excellent condition with some minor storage stress.”
I have one of these brochures, it was part of a batch of 5 brochures I bought 20 years ago for less than five dollars. What fascinated me about this early brochure, was the very small rear hatch window on the dispatcher hard top, I have never seen one like this early production example. Does anyone know when the switch was made to the large rear window? That goes for the CJ5’s also.
I have one too , how bout the early small glass window used on willys jeepsters ? the dj-3a convertible is a poor mans JEEPSTER ?
Mike: It’s possible that the window was an illustrator’s mistake? I don’t remember it appearing on any CJ-5/DJ-3A Koenig-built hardtops? But, I also haven’t studied this issue, so I could be wrong.
Vernon: DJ-3A convertible was billed as the cheapest convertible available at the time … it was certainly cheaply built! The Jeespter was a much nicer design.
did the dj-3a use a t-96 transmission ? probably no overdrive ? slow ? top speed 45 ? the early 50’s 473 HT truck had a t-96 with a top shifter – I know , I used to fix one for my neighbor — my 48 model 2WD truck has a column shift t-90 , 2 piece drive shaft — carrier bearing
Yes, the DJ-3A used the T-96. No overdrives on the stock DJ-3As.
