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: Price dropped to $5700.
Drain holes have been filled. Not a completely stock engine since it has a newer alternator and looks to be 12 volte.

It’s a replacement tub. Among other things, no key hole for keyed coil
What does “Drain holes have been filled” mean? I have seen it in multiple posts but I haven’t been able to put it together.
If you look on an original flatfender tub, you will see small oblong holes on either side of the body, on the side panel just above the foot holes. Those holes were designed to drain the tub in the event water gets on the floorboards.
Thanks Vincent. To go a little further,
WWII tubs (GPW & MB) did not have drain holes near the step. Nor did M-38s. They all drained from the floor. The CJs (CJ-2A/3A/3B/DJ-3A) all had drain holes near the step. It’s also any area prone to rust. So, when people repaired their tubs in that area, they often covered that hole. Therefore, when the hole is filled on a CJ, it most often means that body work has been done along the body.
Now, sometimes people will put a small flap over the hole that isn’t always obvious in the photo, so you have to look for that as well.
