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 one went through a flood.
This jeep was in the August 2016 flood (it wasn’t assembled before the flood). Buyer will have to haul this away.
Please email me through CL if you have any questions.
Scammers, please don’t waste your time or mine.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1350.
Not sure there’s much value here.
“Hi…I recently bought a CJ-6 (green sticker) Jeep that I wanted to build as a trail rig/ rock crawler but unfortunately my plans have changed…wifey says it has to go. The wheel base currently measures 105 inches which you can tell it can easily still be stretched in the front and rear. The frame has been fully boxed in and reinforced. It has 35″ tires on it…with a total of 5 rims.
These Jeeps are super hard to find and are expensive when you do find them…I’m unsure of the year but it has to be a 72-75 because of the body and wheel base…which means it can be converted back to street legal and still be smog exempt. So this was my idea but wifey isn’t cool with me having another project because of $$ so it has to go. This is a great platform because of the wheelbase and year to build a serious off road rig.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(03/19/2017) Lots of mods for this customized weed spraying jeep.
“64 mail jeep weed spray rig, right hand drive, 4 cylinder, auto trans, dual wheel rear, spray pump, spray boom, 50 gal tank, swivel reel out of top, lots of mods”
UPDATE: Still Available.. I’ve never seen a step/fender setup like this. Makes me think it is fiberglass.
“1946 Willy’s Flat fender Jeep with a small block Chevy 283 v-8, 4 speed manual transmission, Duel range Warn transfer case, telescoping tilt steering wheel, bucket seats with harness, roll bar, Dana 44 axles and large drum breaks with heavy duty drive lines.

Ann is not afraid to get dirty!
Unlike our sunny Friday, today was a rainy day, so any thought of blasting the frame was put on hold. But, we did get nearly all the parts removed from the frame and the engine/transmission ready to pull out. The more we removed, the more we could see that poor Rusty had come from an abusive home.
Case in point: the transmission cross member. Both sides of the frame where the transmission crossmember normally attaches have been beaten, suggesting that the jeep was often bottomed or high centered. That would also explain the need to install a custom cross member:
You can see the wave along the bottom rail. I play on straightening it and then added an extra piece of metal to about a foot long to add additional strength along the bottom of the frame.
This net photo shows the rear passenger spring. The front portion of the bottom leaf is bent down quite a ways. This is slightly problematic in that there aren’t off the shelf springs for DJ-3A convertibles (that I know of anyway).
I don’t know which year this image was printed, but it highlights the different springs among models.
Note that the hardtop version had different numbers of springs on the left vs. right sides. From the CJ-2A Page.
To make it more confusing, I have five leafs in the front and four in the back (on both sides). I think I should have only 3 leafs. Perhaps the previous owner broke them and installed heavier ones? Or, the number of leafs was changed after 1956? I don’t know.
If you like old jeeps, shells, and women, then this photo if for you!
“1942 Press Photo A Group of Girls Riding the Range in a Jeep Pass 16 Inch Shells.
This is an original press photo. Women who just a short while ago thought of a range as something to cook on and powder as something to pat on their faces are now doing the work of men on the firing range at the Army ordnance Department’s proving grounds at Aberdeen, MD. They don’t just fool around with the light work, either. They fill shells with powder and prime them. They run huge cranes to assemble the big guns. And they load, clean, and fire everything from Garand rifles and Tommy guns to the big railroad guns. A group of the girls riding the range in a jeep pass a huge stack of 16 inch shells. Photo measures 9 x 7.25 inches. Photo is dated 06-06-1942.
