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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
(10/25/2013) This has interesting paint job. It looks like there’s a couple jeeps in the background, too.
“51 WILLYS CJ3A. IT HAS A 225 BUICK V6 RUNS GOOD THE STEERING HAS BEEN UPGRADED. COME TAKE A LOOK.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $950.
(10/23/2013) This is a project.
“The jeep is NOT running, it’s a CJ-3A everything mechanical is off of jeep except the engine and trans. Some alterations to vehicle have been done. The engine is a Chevy 327 ( unsure of year) when we bought the jeep we were told ALL the parts were here.. And we are not sure yet because we haven’t put them all on. But I know we have doubles of stuff. Do not have a key to ignition. Has a willy manual also. Also has a roll cage and the vinyl doors. CLEAN CALIFORNIA title ( reg. expire 3/24/13) We are moving out if state and have not had the time to get it running yet. GREAT project!!”

Not many updates tonight. I sprained my finger playing basketball today, so typing is a bit slow.
This weekend Mitch Carter and the Wandering Willys Jeep Club drove the Naches Pass. Normally, Mitch would take his M-38 over the pass, but this time Mitch drove his recently purchased (out of a field) rare Perkin’s powered 1966 CJ-6 for its inaugural jeep trip.
You can see from these photos posted in August that his jeep wan’t quite ready to go jeeping when he bought it. However, over the past couple of months his got the jeep back into running shape. Then he added some new wheels and tires. Great work Mitch! The jeep looks good and it appears you had a fun run.
Craig found this upsized Mule (XM443E1) published in an issue of Jeep News.
My son Karson will be in Virginia another week before ending heading back to Sacramento where he completes his FEMA/Americorps experience. During his travels this past year he’s introduced a variety of people to eWillys (well done!). This weekend he was hiking with friends in the Blueridge Mountains where he spotted this M-38A1 on a trailer all by itself.
How about this cool photo.

Here’s another Scrimshaw knife. It features a CJ-5. Another version featured a flattie.
“A Color Scrimshaw Scene that I have done of a Willys Jeep and 3 Canada Geese. I signed and dated this knife on the bottom left. A Certificate of Authenticity that I will sign and date will be sent with the knife.
Please Note: When I do Color Scrimshaw, I do NOT paint the color on top of the design. I re-cut every line where each color is to go and apply those colors down into the cuts. This is a very time consuming process, but one in which I feel the results are well worth the added effort.
I have, in my opinion, a very low starting bid with NO RESERVE, so you collectors can decide what this knife is worth.
Thanks for Looking! The knife measures: 4 1/8″ closed.”

The jeep is made of Ron Ron.
“Beautiful Jeep Willys model made from exotic woods of Costa Rica.
This is an appreciated souvenir from Costa Rica and a great conversation starter.
Size is approximately 1/18 scale. This collectible car model is not a toy, so wheels don’t turn.
The Jeep Willys model in this auction is made from an exotic wood named “Ron Ron”. There are other exotic woods used in our models as “Cocobolo”, “Guayacan”, “Guapinol”. The whiter wood inserts are made of “Teca”.
Please see the wood colors of the other cars in the last photo. These cars only have lacquer clear coat protection ! Costa Rican exotic woods colors are beautiful and vibrant !
Please note that our models are very different than the $1 imported chinese toys, mass made from tinted pine, widely available in US and other countries. These are original products from artisans of Sarchí, Costa Rica, of a family owned shop.
This shop is owned by members of famous Eloy Alfaro family from the artistic city of Sarchí. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarch%C3%AD
