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 January 1958 article from Willys News highlighted a group of teen boys who provided the small town of Riggins, Idaho, with fire protection using a fire jeep.

There’s some value here.
“46 CJ2A with 66 Mustang 289, T90 3 speed, Dana 18 tcase, Dana axles, 5.38 gears, upgraded steering gear, swing pedals, custom fuel tank, this was somebody’s baby, tub has been blasted and primed, most everything there to make a fun toy, want to trade for CJ5 or CJ7”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $900.
Given the Meyer top, there may be value here.
“I believe that this is a 52 or 53. I have no title only bill of sale. I originally bought this to restore but have gone another route. This is mostly all there, the two side windows on the top are missing, easy to get. The windshield, doors and rear glass is all there and in good condition. I believe that this top will fit most of the CJ5s There is surface rust on the inside of the doors, the floorpan on the drivers side is rusty but there. The passanger side needs to be replaced.
It has the rearends, transmission, transfer case and has the adapter plate still on it for a 350 Chev.
It has been sitting for a number of years on a farm so of course it is rusty, but restorable or use for parts. Has the Ross steering conversion which is nice. missing the speedo. The sheetmetal is not all beat to heck and gone but in pretty good shape overall.
I was thinking of just parting this out but don’t haave the time (or effort)…I would like to get 900 for it but am open to reasonable offers. Might take a trade . Maybe a jeep or pickup truck.
I am very easy to deal with so give me a call or a contact number. by the reply box.”

(04/24/2016) It needs work.
“I have a 1953 Willys CJ-3b High Hood Jeep. The drive-train and engine are not original, It has been swapped with the drive-train from a 1971 Jeep Comanche. Axles, Transmission, Transfer Case, even the engine which is rebuilt, needs exterior put together though. The Engine is a Buick 225 Odd-fire V6. Big upgrade from the original F Head 4 Cyl. The frame is in good shape, one small split about 5″ behind the front bumper. Now the body needs love no ? But it does come with a brand new rear floor panel. All body parts are available. It has been converted to a 12 volt electrical system. Almost every single piece of this Jeep I have. Close to every nut and bolt all separated in individual bags and labeled. I also have a fair amount of new parts as well. All in all after body work, final engine assembly, and the obvious putting everything back in place this could be a very fun summer rig if someone is looking for a fun project.”
