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 might be worth a look.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(05/07/2014) This looks good, especially for the price. Includes an overdrive.
“Hello, up for auction is my 1953 Willys CJ3A. This Jeep is an excellent example of “survivor” and is mostly original. I am the 3rd owner of this Willys. I purchased it from the 2nd owner in 2012. He owned the Jeep from 1962 to 2012. I was told the Willys was owned by the State of Maryland from 1952 to 1962 but I have no documentation of this. The mileage currently shows as 51250 and is the original mileage.”
The Willys is a 1953 according serial number but is titled as a 1952, this is very common. The build date falls in November of ’52, often new vehicles were titled as the year they were sold in. The Jeep is mostly unmolested other than a repaint some years back by the 2nd owner. The paint is close to the original color. There is rust but the body is very solid. Sections of the hat channels, body sides where the floor meet them, and the rear panels are the worst of the rust. The floors and tool box botom are remarkably solid. If properly cared for the body will last for many years. The frame is solid and shows no cracking.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
(05/14/2014) Hasn’t run in a while.
“Classic Jeep, needs restoration. Restoration had been started many years ago, but hasn’t been worked on for sometime. I am unsure if the transmission or engine was previously worked on. See pictures. These are pretty rare jeeps, I am selling because I don’t have the time or space to restore it. Email if interested. We have equipment on site, will need to be loaded onto trailer for transport. Clear Michigan Title.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(05/16/2014) Hasn’t run this year. Appears worth a look.

Give me a call if your interested.”

Here’s a scam I didn’t know about. The ad was pretty convincing, because the ad title “Old jeep army navy usmc” was so poorly written in terms of keywords. The seller acts as if they don’t really know what they have.
Honestly, I thought I’d scored big. However, I had enough sense to email Josh and he deflated my bubble gently. Oh well, I’ll keep searching . . .
There’s a discussion about this at G503: http://g503.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=334790
Bob just posted Paul Berry’s keynote speech from the 2014 Spring Midwest Willys Reunion. For those that don’t know, Paul Berry operates Willys America. The presentation lasts fifty minutes and covers some of the lesser known Willys/Jeep service vehicles.
Tim forwarded this ad for help. The owner doesn’t know what type of truck it is. He notes the cab is a convertible and the quality of work is good, so good it looks factory. I think it’s likely a 1960s truck that’s been modified. The rear window is small, but not shaped like early trucks.
“Any jeep/willys experts out there?
Im trying to figure out what this barn find is? I’ve searched around some web sites with no luck.
It has the small rear window like an early willys, but a 1 piece windshield like a later one.
It also has a convertible roof that appears factory, but I can’t find any info on it.
If you can help, please give me a call or send me a text
Thanks for your help.”

Family owned since new. It doesn’t run. Not 100% original, but is worth a look.
“Original body and parts. Has tow bar and 285 lb steel weight front bumper. In same family since first bought. Currently not running so will need some work, but it’s a classic. 2500 OBO”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
It doesn’t run and looks pretty rough.
“I have a 48 willys jeep it has some kind of Gm 6 cylinder in it. Had it running last year but can’t seem to get it going this year. Needs some work for it to be safe to drive around on the streets. It is in pretty good shape for as old as it is. Don’t really wanna get rid of it but don’t have the money to fix it up.”
