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 .

(09/13/2016) The Bed Extension looks like a permanent fixture rather than an aftermarket version. The last pic shows the walls of the extender appearing to extend into the bed.
“Runs excellent. Original other than wheels and tires. PLEASE CALL”
These photos came from a 1955 jeep family brochure introducing the CJ-5. What’s curious is that several photos show the shackles on the front springs located at the front (see the “mail carrier” photo). As most know, the earliest CJ-5s had shackles in the rear. So, I’m wondering if the CJ-5s in these photos were bodies put on CJ-3B chassis or whether they were prototype chassis.
Luis spotted this jeepish looking vehicle. Anyone recognize it? Custom or production vehicle?
Could be a nice jeep.

(10/05/2016) Craig spotted this one. It looks like there has been some body work.
“1955 willys wagon only 814 made with this super hurricane straight six engine. It runs perfectly and quietly. 3speed on the column. Completely gone over from plugs and wires to oil bath. Has electric fuel pump. New wiring harnes from front to back with cloth covering to look original. Upgraded to 12 v system with reducer for gauges. New drums, brakes, bearings and tires. New fuel lines and gas tank. Heater was rebuilt and blows very hot. Everything mechanical has been done so far. The body would be next but if I start that the price will go up. Very rare vehicle that could be an addition for someone that knows about Willys. $6,500.”
It’s a project that includes a Warn winch. If it has been parked before the “mountain blew”, it means it was parked prior to May of 1980 (36 years ago).
“1963 Willys CJ.
Parked since before the mountain blew.
283, warn winch, dual gas tanks.
Absolutely perfect windshield.
One NOS front fender.
Permanently registered on its original 63 plates.
Clean clear title in my name.
This is a project. Please don’t waste my time unless you are serious.”

The San Francisco area’s East Bay Times reported on Scott Steven’s 1942 GPW. Read all about it here: http://www.eastbaytimes.com/2016/12/05/me-my-car-42-jeep-as-spartan-as-they-come/

UPDATE: Sold for $46,750.
This 1960 DJ-3A Surrey will be auctioned in January of 2017 by Sotheby’s. The jeep is described as a “beautifully presented flawless restoration”. That statement is followed by a series of inaccurate statements regarding the history of DJ-3A, such as the DJ-3A was introduced in 1955 (nope 1956). You can see all the pics and information here:
As Colin pointed out to Sotheby’s, despite some great work on this, there are actually numerous flaws with this restoration:
Looks nice.

Sellers failed to get a state grant to complete restoration of this one.
“An authentic, 1944 U.S. Army 4cyl, Willys MB Jeep, VIN#
MB 383450 with just over 26,000 original miles. It is completely operational with many accessories, including the top, spare, tools and implements. We have brought the jeep up to approximately 90-95% operation and appearance. This jeep is show worthy but runs a little rough, determined to be a minor problem by my mechanic. The driver\’s seat was extended with a kit for steering wheel and leg comfort. I can also provide to a serious buyer all that was invested in the restoration.
We are selling this Willys MB because, we were unable to get any Kentucky grant funding for acquisition and the full restoration; Our personal investment had reached its limit.”
