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 .

Dave, Your link is wrong. I found it at:

Thanks Glenn. I’ve updated the link.
This is the same DJ3A that was listed on ebay a few weeks ago for $199.00 & didn’t sell. Now we have the same Willys for sale in SC instead of NC and the price is $2500.00; talk about inflation. This is what drives up the price of the hobby, greed is not good.
Mike, thanks for spotting that. I didn’t catch it. I suspect someone bought it and is hoping to quickly resell it? I will link the two posts when I get the chance.

It certainly isn’t a 1942, but it is a DJ3A, not sure what year unless we had a serial number to work off of. It might have been a special order for a small rural post office, but it looks like it has left hand drive, which is unusual for the post office. I suspect it has a fiberglass top like all the rest of the DJ3A delivery Jeeps had. I do like the side windows, though.
It’s a North Carolina – South Carolina thing, everybody here has some bogus story and thinks their old cars are worth ten times market value.
I see it went from $2500 to $800 or make an offer… reality is setting in, unfortunately now he listed it as a 2A.
Now listed as a 46 DJ3, and still at $800 without a motor or transmission or doors. .
