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 .

I can’t tell how solid (or not) the body is. It could just be covered with some Western Washington moss.

“Partially restored 1958 Willys CJ3B tub.
Most of the rigorous work has already been done. There is still some metal work left, but 95% rust free at this point, and that’s before blasting! A ton of work has gone into this project so far and picking it up from this point should go smoothly in the right hands. It’s in great shape, no major issues that can’t be repaired easily. Please contact me if interested. Thanks for looking! I could potentially trade for other willys Jeep parts and attachments. Looking for: warn overdrive, Koenig PTO or crankshaft winch, military soft top and bows, Koenig hard top and doors, PTO gearbox, overdrive/PTO adapter, seat frames and cushions. If you have willys parts, let’s deal!”

“This is an original RARE 1961 Willy’s Jeep CJ-3B. The last of the flat fender. Frame off restoration, engine rebuilt, new transmission, new transfer case, new shift tower, new exhaust, new suspension, new battery, and so much more. Frame and body is coated with an expensive rust proof paint, then primed, and then final paint. My husband poured his heart, money and soul into this jeep, with intentions of keeping it forever. This is not an altered or modified jeep, it has been purposely kept original for value sake, which is what makes it so rare. He has kept all the replaced components and has invested over $15,000 into this, plus two years of his time and labor. Open to offers, but please don’t insult me, this is worth every penny. Need to sell ASAP thanks“

“1960 Willys Jeep in Good condition. Runs well with a rebuilt less than 2000 mile Hurricane F head engine With a new head installed and the block Magna-fluxed at the builderWestcoast engines in Oxnard CA. Radiator replaced with high-efficiency aluminum. The clutch replaced at the installation of the engine. Shifts and drives 4X4 operates as it should. Brakes are out but will be redone this week, brake cylinders and shoes plus anything else I find during inspection today. parts arrive Monday. I also am replacing the cracked steering wheel, horn and button to be determined.
Fuel system cleaned and oil changed as the jeep was sitting on my property for two years unused. I am negotiable on the price I am starting at the average I have seen them going for won’t charge any extra for the bullet hole. The more I improve the jeep the less negotiable I will be. I have many extra parts plus a complete engine, needs rebuild, Solex carburetor, odds and end’s that I would include with negotiation.
I just don’t have the time and ambition for this jeep, other projects I’d rather do.
Thanks for reading and I will update pictures as I go along.”
