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 $1500
(04/14/2013) It’s rough, but it runs.
“1953 WILLYS JEEP. Rebuilt motor runs good. Frame and running gear good shape. This is the first year of the F-head engine so it is a high hood. Jeep does need some work, body has some patching and some more is needed . Some floor work would be needed as well as some brake work ( have brake parts ). No papers sold with bill of sale. 1500.00 FIRM….. inquires leave phone number or i will not respond… Thank you.”

Marc forwarded a link to Pedro’s website. Pedro has collected a variety of manuals in PDF form for download. They are in several languages, including English, French, Czech and Australian. Just kidding about the Australian language (but there is a driver’s manual).

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This page from a 1972 issue of Hot Rod Magazine shows Carey Stanley in a 302 Chevy Powered Flatfender in Bakersfield, CA.
UPDATE: Here’s the original picture from the CJ-3B page. The same image was also for sale on eBay earlier this month.
HOG spotted this picture on the CJ-3B board and thought other readers would like to see how the Willys Production line enjoyed their breaks. I tried to get the link to the 3B page, but couldn’t find it. Note the boxes to the right.

This is an 8×10 original card from the Spoilers of the Forest movie.
“SPOILERS OF THE FOREST ROD CAMERON ORIGINAL LOBBY CARDSilver Screen Mementos are pleased to be able to offer this authentic original lobby card measuring 8×10 inches.

This jeep has been refurbished. The column shift and grille have been changed. Unclear if it still has the tool indents.
“Full frame up restoration using 2 donors and a New-old-stock parts source.
Original engine, etc. A few things are new (grill, wheels), as I haven’t found the original parts yet. Also, converted to a floor shifter, because the column shifters were horrible.
Less than 5k miles since restoration. Works as a daily driver, or take care of the rest of the cosmetic stuff and have a show car.
Some pics here:

“1950 Willys CJ3A Flat fender Jeep
This Jeep is a great little runner that gets looks all around town. It’s reliable, starts right up and hasn’t failed to get me home again yet. It stops on a dime and steers straight and true. It rides on 7.50×16″ Firestone 8 ply NDT tires with less than 1K on them. The rims are the original size 16″ x4.5”. It will roll through the back roads all day long but it won’t take you down the highway mind you. It’s top speed is 55MPH with a tailwind so comfortable cruising speed is between 45-50 MPH.
