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 .
There’s some diamond plate on the interior of the rear wheel wells and there is a single bench seat up front, among other updates.

Colin did some due diligence and determined that this is likely a former airport baggage conveyor DJ. Here’s a very similar conveyor DJ from the 3B page.
Here’s what Colin deduced: The mounts on the front frame rails are in a position where the front conveyor supports can be mounted.
The rear platform for the conveyor is attached to the rear corner of the tub on those DJ3As and on the sides of the CJ3B as well (see the CJ-3B page). It would preclude the rear taillights, and rear fuel filler that is standard on the DJ3A, but one photo of the DJ3A with the North Central Convair 500 shows the fuel fill tube low on the right rear corner, and the rear wheel opening is modified just like the one on 20796 (See the CJ-3B page for pics side and rearish.
Also, the right rear corner of the tub is modified to clear the conveyor.I suspect the large holes in the rear panels helped support the bracing for the rear platform and also carried the hydraulic lines and controls for on the ground operation. The Line lock was for the brakes and the chrome handle on the left side of the dash were no doubt for the governor. The emergency brake T- handle was moved to a location where the driver could set it, otherwise it would have been under the conveyor apparatus.
“1950’s model DJ3A Military Willys Jeep DJ3A. Body in great shape, nearly rust free, have engine and transmission, 2 windshields, most of the major parts are there. Needs restoration or used for parts. Too many projects already so decided to move on.”

(10/23/2016) Looks good. Has been converted to 12 Volt.
“1942 Ford GPW. I have a clear title. New tires, new canvas top and seats. Rebuilt carburetor. 5 combat rims. Original riveted brass data plates – numbers match the frame. This was a running jeep that was cleaned, repaired as necessary, painted, and returned to the original condition when obtained. It has been converted to 12 volts. with an alternator. It is believed that all the parts are original except for the front bumper and horn (try to find a Sparton horn at a decent price!) and of course, the alternator. There are a lot of Ford marked parts – it is assumed that those who did repairs and replacements did not worry about using Ford marked parts in the past.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3500.
(10/20/2016) Runs, but windshield needs some work.
“’47 Willys for sale. Runs great! Hard top, rear window and doors are included but doors and rear window are not currently on it (see pics). Driver’s door has a manufacturers tag from Willys though I’m not sure who actually made it – I’m told Grumman made them during the war and for a little while after, but I haven’t researched it too much. Tires have been “slimed”. The windshield seems solid (even though it has a crack) but the frame supporting it does show considerable deterioration – needs to be replaced, I just haven’t had time. No title. Great hunting or ranch vehicle.”

Needs a little work to be road legal.
“WWII Willys 1/4 ton MBT trailer, built on 3-44, Serial # 64246 . The trailer is mostly complete, only missing the lunette, tail lights (one included), 1 reflector and original wiring. The ball type hitch is not welded on, it’s bolted, you should be able to removed it fairly easily. This has a lot of original parts: original data plate, light brackets, reflectors (3), handbrake and cable, chains, landing leg and swivel (work great), shocks, combat rims and what I believe are the original WWII Goodyear NDT Military tires. Tires hold air and I supposed it could be towed home, but I would trailer it.There are some issues with the box, so I have included the top half of another MBT trailer (front and both side panels) that you can use to graft onto/patch the areas on the front bulkhead and 1 side. This way you get the right metal thickness and stamping, and your trailer remains all original. Also, included is one tail light bucket.”
