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 auctioned.
Bruce noted this Surrey is still for sale. It will be up for auction some time in the next few days.
“To be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at Auction Americas Auburn Fall event, August 28-1, 2013. Estimate:$ 30,000 – $ 40,000 Chassis no. 563371789”
These prices are ridiculous, there’s a reason why this surrey is still for sale; no body in their right mind is going to pay that price. It’s just like everything else in this economy, big money comes in and drives out the average working guy from what used to be a fun hobby. Just like other classic vehicles, Willys Jeeps have become rich boy toys. I’ll tell you this, I’m hanging on to my Willys Jeeps CJ2A, CJ5 & wagon; they are not for sale at any price.
Yup, their estimate is a little tiny bit high.
Although it is nice to own two of them. Maybe I can convince a bank they are worth $80K now. Maybe not.
All kidding aside, what’s it cost to restore any vehicle these days? 20K is not unheard of at all for a professionally done job. For a jeep that is one of less than 2000??? made,is it worth it?
What is the current count of actual surviving genuine DJ3A Surreys these days anyway?
There are better things to spend one’s money on if all one is after is ROI. However the jeeps do add a little bit of FUN to life, so I can’t really blame those who choose to spend disposable income this way.
And it doesn’t HAVE to be a rich man’s hobby if one is careful with the purchases one makes and also able to do your own work. It is when people buy an old jeep and bring it somewhere with a blank checkbook that the stupid money starts to flow. Just this week I missed out on a totally rust free CJ5 in original paint for less than $2K. Not running but it wouldn’t have taken much. A week of cleaning and polishing and it would be a jeep to have been proud of. Someone else just bought what was supposed to have been a 3A which turned out to be a WWII MB. The deals are still out there to be had by a persistent hobbyist.
