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 .
This looks like a good price.

“This is a handcrafted Stainless Steel Jeep made in the Philippines! The car was imported into the United States in 1979 by a man named Wesley Carrell.
Wesley was in the military and stationed in the Philippines just after the Vietnam war. While he was there he fell in love with the Stainless steel Jeeps that the locals were crafting. The CJ3 Jeeps left over from the Vietnam war rusted very badly, so the locals started to make stainless steel bodies that wouldn’t rust in their externally humid climate.
Wesley paid $5500 + shipping and taxes in 1979 to bring this Jeep home to Mississippi. Once he had the Jeep home he paid to have the brakes to be converted from mechanical to Hydraulic. He also paid to have a 4 cylinder Ford Pinto engine with automatic transmission installed. The Jeep does come with a soft top, however it is a little old. It has a few tears.
Wesley drove and enjoyed this Jeep until 2003 when he passed away. I bought the Jeep from his sister whom inherited the Jeep. When I bought the Jeep I had every intention of restoring the it, however I have too many project cars and wont be able to put work into the Jeep anytime soon. I just bought a 1970 GTO Judge which will be taking up my spare time.
The body is mounted on a 1959 Willys Jeep frame. The Jeep runs, drives, and stops under its own power. However to will need a tune up or it will possibly need the carburetor rebuilt before it can be driven anywhere.
The Jeep can be driven onto a trailer or car carrier!
This is a once in a lifetime opportunely, don’t let this pass you by! You need this Jeep for your collection! ”

I don’t exactly know why this turned up in my search today, but what the heck. I’ll post anyway. It is supposed to be Jewel Stainless, too. At least one conversion calculator puts the price of this at around $2400.

Here a CJ-3B with an unusual dash and steering wheel design. It’s got kind of an antique feel that I find interesting. It was photographed and posted by RUD66.
Like a bear emerging from it’s cave after a long winer, Paul temporarily removed his custom M-38 from its Alaskan lair.
He writes, “The garage was opened and the Willys was pulled out into the early morning light today. The poor Jeep was coated with sanding dust which I removed by blasting the body with high pressure air and followed that with a water rinse so you’ll notice the water droplets clinging to the sheet metal. Anyway, with all the glass installed, the stainless wiper arms and blades mounted and most all of the major work done this project is looking pretty good to me. I need to work on the frame welding up the extra holes, finish the radiator mount and double check everything before the frame gets sandblasted one more time before getting powder coated glossy black.
When my new sheet metal brake arrives I’ll finish remaking the fuel tanks, I wasn’t happy with the first set I built so I scrapped them and started over with a slightly different design. Viewing the Willys outdoors from a distance is so different from the usual close up view in a packed garage I’ve become accustomed to and I get a better idea of what the finished Willys will look like. I think this Jeep will cause people to stop and take a second look but that might be wishful thinking on my part. Either way, I’m happy with the progress (I’ll admit I’ve taken much longer than I’d originally planned) and there’s more to do but I’m still a happy guy.
Over 4,000 hours of fabrication time to get to this point and still many more hours of work are necessary to complete this rebuild but I’m not tired. I’ve learned a lot along the way and I’m reasonably pleased with my quality so far.”
These are unusual.

The buyer apparently bought out a stainless supplier in the Philippines. Call the seller for more info.

(06/24/2010) It looks like a nice enough jeep.
“I was a leader in the off road industry for decades. I use to own the leading off road company. when i was young I built this Jeep from the ground up in 1967. It has only about 8,000 miles on it (95 percent offroad). It has been featured in magazines like Four Wheeler (i can email articles). It has a Stainless Steel body which is probably worth the asking price alone. I had one, my brother has one and we sold one in 1968 to someone, I do not know of any others that were produced like this. It has a Buick V-6 engine (it is special, steel crank not cast) that was producing 225 horsepower for 225 cubic inches Naturally (no turbo, no NOS, no blower). It has a Borg Warner T-10 Transmission with Hurst shifter, Dana 30 open Knuckel front end with positraction (6 gear steel) 3.73 ratio, disc brakes, Dana 44 rear with positraction. And of course Rancho Suspension. The Jeep has only been driven a few miles (under 400 miles in last 25 years and that is on road) since 1985 when my dad died and I lost interest in going off road. It has a miss at 4000 RPM probably due to not being run much. It is not as slow as some Jeeps, it does over 65 MPH in 1st gear! (it has a 4speed). The fastest i have had it is about 120 MPH in 4th and it had more but it was scary at that speed. This is for an Enthusiast or collector, it is street legal but this was built for off-road.
I HAVE ADVERTISED FOR $13500 AND IT IS WORTH OVER $25,000. I HAVE NOW OFFERED AT UNDER $10,000 SOMEONE WILL GET ONE HELL OF A JEEP. SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY. 310 2921182 GENE my price is firm so please do not even respond if you can not afford the asking price”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
