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 good.

UPDATE:**SOLD** Was on eBay.
Gerard has put his beautiful CJ-3A up for sale. He’s done a great job of updating it, while keeping its classic lines.
“OVERVIEW:
Original all steel body and chassis with a modern drive train, suspension, brakes and steering.
Both body and frame were separated before reconditioning and in addition to sandblasting and painting, the frame was reinforced (semi-boxed), making it stronger than original. Most of the popular
modifications have already been made and due to the modern updates, this specialty vehicle can be
inexpensively maintained at any Chevrolet dealership or independent shop.
Unlike most 60 year old Jeeps, this vehicle is a joy to drive daily with modern engine functionality,
automatic transmission, and other updates. It drives perfectly straight with no steering wheel wobble or wonder, and the wider track makes it handle predictably, more like a modern 4×4. The driver and passenger are protected by a padded roll cage and held in place by through the seat 5-point racing harnesses. Jump seat for parcels only.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600
CJ-3A body on a CJ-5 chassis.
“I have a decent body sitting on a later CJ5 rolling frame (maybe a 1968?). I also have a 225 V6 in storage.
I MAY have some paperwork for this to generate a title, but that is not guaranteed so we’ll have to talk and see what I can find.
Email me through craigslist with Willys in the subject, and send your phone number or email for me to contact you.
No scammers, no paypal, no shipping, no escrow so don’t bother trying.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3500.
(11/18/2013) I think the seller means this jeep has been garaged its whole life (rather than it’s been in a garage since 1950). The rear driveline has to be replaced.
“49 Willy’s jeep This is a project that don’t need a lot of work to fix, unless you want a super Bad Ass Willy’s. However it is pretty sick the way it is, It needs the rear end re-welded my son was going to put a four link and coils and move the rear end back 6 inches or so but never got around to finishing it. It has a shortened ford 9 inch with a Detroit locker. Huge paddle tires. Its a small block Chev, one very strong built motor, with fender wall headers, and a 250 shot of NOS it also has what I believe is a Saginaw Chev four speed trans. This thing will fly through the dunes with some work and some cash. It needs a rear drive line. It has a old willy’s four buy four front end in it, that I was going to take out and put a straight axle in it to make it lighter in the front end. There’s a jeep on You Tube that I wanted it to be just like. If you seen it I’m sure that you would want to go the same way. This jeep has 85 percent of what I wanted it to be. With a little of good welding and a little of knowledge on how to fly this thing will fly. The motor is loud and fast you might want to wear ear plugs, if you were to drive it all day. Fiberglass hood. Also there is no rust anywhere on this jeep, I believe its been in a garage since 1950, it has to be the cleanest rust free jeep that is still out there. I just put it out side under a tarp for the first time since my son owned it. He drove it for five minutes before he blew the drive line out of it. It will need a tough ass drive line. Just remember it will need some love and I’m sure for the right guys that want a Bad Ass jeep that this is it. I’m selling it because I have to many projects and not enough cash to do them all. I’m restoring a 79 Z28 and they don’t give them parts away for cheap. So if you have any parts for a 1979 Camero I’m interested. Please Don’t call if your not serious. Thank you”

I have not had this long, but this is what I know about it! Come drive it and experience old history fun!”
