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 .

“Here is a 1979 Mitsubishi J54 Diesel, Mitsubishi continued to manufacture the J54 ( CJ-3B ) after Jeep had discontinued production. The J54 has the 4DR5 (4 cyl. diesel motor) lots of torque and great gas mileage, and still looking really cool. 4×4 as every jeep should be combined with the diesel will let you go anywhere. It has a Dana 44 rear and Dana 30 front with 4.77 gears packed inside.
The Jeep comes with Delaware state title, Japanese export title, and Japanese regular title. This vehicle if federally legal due to the 25 year rule which makes these gems importable.
The Jeep comes with the original style wheels and tires, does not include the 31’s in the pictures. Customs will not allow for anything to be in the vehicle during shipping.
27k km original kilometers on the odometer, (that’s only 16777 miles)
Right hand drive, (not because it was a mail jeep but because it is a Japanese vehicle)
4 speed manual
Twin stick transfer case
Original style wheels and tires (can fit 31’s without lift, if you want to take away from the originality)
Good top with no leaks.
NO RUST NO RUST NO RUST”

“1960 Jeep CJ-3B in restorable condition. I bought it a couple of months ago and don’t have time for this project. It was running 4 years ago, but the gas tank rusted out. It has been stored inside for 4 years. I bought a new battery, fuel pump, fuel filter, and fuel pressure regulator. I hooked up the battery and spun the motor over, but haven’t had time to mess with it since. The 3B was the only Jeep made with the tall grill and hood. It has the Hurricane straight four cylinder.”

(08/23/2014) Looks like a solid 3B. Nice vintage hardtop.
“Runs well, engine in great condition, hard top. Parked in the barn.
Many photos: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/tivhecdzz684xx2/AADh6MGuOAYf1HBDFKZ7vVYVa
I’ve owned this jeep for three years, purchased from a filmmaker/collector here locally who has several willys. I’m not sure how long he had it prior, but I got the distinct impression he’s committed to these vehicles. He has specific shops in Treadwell and Morris that he trusts to work on these (Morris is an hour away from here, which says something.)
I could not speak with certainty on the engine being original– I do know he had it machined and tuned just prior to my acquisition. The carb was also rebuilt.
The brakes seem to be in good condition. The top is in good condition minus a couple chips in the rim. All glass is in good condition (the side windows do not roll down). There is no handle on the passenger door.
The floor pans had been repaired in the past– plates added– they’re adequate but it could be prettier. There are a few rust holes. The toolbox is pretty rusty and has a few holes.
The frame looks good.
It has most certainly been repainted– I couldn’t say what the original color was.
New battery this spring. The wiring needs the turn signals and brake lights sorted out.
Runs very well and strong. Front wheel 4WD locks move well without a tool.
I deregistered it last year as I was fundamentally using it on the farm (to move firewood, and rarely) and didn’t want to pay insurance. I have the papers for easy transfer.
Quite simply, this jeep has gotten little use since I got it– housed in the barn, battery changed, rewiring started, oil changed. I’d keep it if we didn’t need to cover some unexpected expenses.”
UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $950.
(11/23/2014) Includes a PTO and an aluminum top.
“I was rebuilding this and got a code violation in Arlington and had to stop. The body is rusted out but this is a really solid foundation for building a nice classic rig. Set up with Rancho springs and shackles, Saginaw steering, T98 four speed transmission with granny low, and bellhousing adapter/motor mounts for small block Chevy. I let my grandson pretend-drive and now the tranny won’t go into reverse, first, or second, so there is little value there. Has plastic gas tank and original gauges. Roll bar is fine. Front axle ring/pinion are broken but it rolls with hubs unlocked and driveshaft off, but needs rebuilding or replacing with a Dana 30. Has nice vintage aluminum wheels.
The real values here include:
– Rear axle is a shortened Ford 9 inch with Detroit Locker, Moser axles, and 11 inch drums. 3.73 ratio
– Ramsay PTO winch running off of Dana 18 transfer case
– Clean title with data plates on dash
Can be flat towed with included tow bar that I put on to get it out of Arlington.
I also have all other parts for a complete rebuild that I would include for the right price. Includes brand new body plus vintage body parts with Willys script; rebuilt Chevy 350 4-bolt main, aluminum heads, super torque cam; new Centerforce clutch; and aluminum top. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $450
(05/21/2014) There might be some value here.

You don’t have to treat the rust, seal the tight areas with 3m 8115, or fill all the pinholes I have done that.
Of course there is still more to do if you like wrenching your own, it’s an old Jeep.

“This is a 1954 Jeep Willys with all original parts and equipment.
It starts and drives good, and the 4×4, four wheel drive works good. It takes a lot to get it stuck. It has a hard top that can be removed. It has a strong running Continental engine. It even has a snow plow that was mounted on the front if you want to play with it.
The plow is raised by an electric winch. This has been kept as mainly a “toy to play with”
This is a CJ 2 or CJ 3 I think grandad said. It is one of the original Jeeps before they became the “wrangler””
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6500.
The flames and angular rear wheel well give this a different look.
