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 .
Maybe the grill isn’t attached, because I can’t imagine why it would be installed forward of the fenders given there’s a V6 in the engine compartment.
“Ready for off-road or with very little work could be driven on the street. Has a 3.8 buick v-6 with header’s,4″lift and 33″ boggers. Body is rough but still very useable. Just do not have time to use anymore.”

This photo of a DJ-3A Dispatcher at an airfield shows they went to work for the airlines not long after they began production. This was published in a 1956 issue of Globetrotter Magazine.
This is season 1, episode 3, by Mark and Tom Smith of Jeeptruck.com from his series with Drew Norman at his Jeep Farm in Phoenix. Drew Norman does a budget makeover of a 1957 Willys Jeep Truck.
I wonder if this has an Air Force Data Plate?

Given the solid rear and extra gas tank on the passenger side, could this be an aftermarket body? I recently found an ad for a California company that sold 2A/3A bodies with gas inlets on both sides. Maybe they did 3Bs, too?
“1961 CJ3B. I bought this about 15 years ago with dreams of restoring it ( with some improvements). The body work is done and it looks awesome. Entire body was straightened, sand blasted and painted professionaly. I had the body shop rhino line the underside and engine compartment. There is no rust or bondo.
I also had a new Chevy 350 in it. I believe it has a T-18 transmission. All I know is the top speed is about 45 but it will climb anything. The tires and rims have less than 100 miles on them. This is a cool jeep and if I had time for it I would replace the suspension. Over 15k invested in bodywork and paint alone. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1400. This may have the Con-Ferr rear bumper.
It doesn’t currently run, but looks like a great restoration project. The rear bumper setup was a popular mod in California/Arizona and can be seen on a variety of CJ-5s in 1960s Four Wheeler Magazines (I know this because I just bought four years worth of magazines and looked through them).
“Willy’s Jeep CJ5 Project. Frame is a 1956, body is a 1966. It has been in this configuration since the late 60’s/ early 70’s. Floors and tool box are solid. Has the 4 cylinder hurricane engine in it. Has been sitting for many years and needs to be gone thru, so it does not currently run. Engine does turn freely. Don’t know much else about it other than it has a stainless steel gas tank and has a tow bar (removeable with a couple of pins). Also includes a new old stock Carter Carburetor. Has a clear California Pink that matches the frame numbers. Body numbers have been run by a NV State Trooper and come back clear (have document). $1450.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
(07/21/2016) Doesn’t appear to be running.
“I have a rare 1961 Willy’s Jeep Pick up Truck FC-170, Manual 4-speed, 6-226 “Super Hurricane” was a L-head 6-cylinder.
New starter
Replace carburetor”
Not sure if there’s much value here.

http://www.sellajeep.com/mjs/sale16/adm451/adm451.html
I suspect the price was a bit random. Ignoring the price, this could make a good restoration or drive-as-is jeep.
“All original. Hurricane straight six cylinder engine. Red and white paint. $10,000. Price negotiable.”
