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 have a Hudson steering upgrade.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(01/03/2022) Not a bad price, but it does need work. The body has been cut at the entrances. .Appears to have the original tank. The seller is correct that this is a convertible model, not a Gala/Surrey.
Selling a very rare 1958 Kaiser Willys DJ3a Convertible!…VERY LIKELY the original strait-4 cylinder, single carb and oil-bath air filter. 3 speed manual column shift (“3-on-a-tree”)….Yes, it is called a convertible, did a lot of searches, primarily trying to verify if its really a “Gala Surry”. 2 wheel drive flat fender, no tailgate. Got a clean title but not in my name, can transfer over no problem. This a very solid project that I simply do not have time to work on. I have had this is DRY storage since i got it in 2019. Go to “eWillys.com” to see more info. The previous seller had thought it was possible this was a Gala Surrey model (Google “Gala Surrey/Elvis”, light/powder blue). I am not so convinced BUT definitely a “convertible model” (see old brochures in my photos, I own old original copies, bought on ebay).
THE BADS -NO top frame or soft top material, common problem, unfortunately, but might be available online (repros) -NO back seat -Clutch cable is broke I believe, so cannot test -The body has been cut/modified slightly (entrance to driver’s/passenger seats) (see pics first, I’ll explain) -Never got time to start the process of getting it started, I was told it ran not that long ago, maybe on a ranch property near Temple Texas. I got this on trade for a Triumph TR-6 (he got it on trade with the Temple person)
THE GOODS! -VERY solid and very lowrust, if not at all. -Good tires, been holding for awhile (I have been storing on jacks!) -Decent body that does not need a lot of work -Battery tray solid, no rust! -Some parts been replaced not long ago but cannot confirm dates -Solid rig! hate to sell but just no time that it deserves! PLEASE be legit and serious! Happy to call back with anything I know. CALL or TEXT is best. IF YOU ASK, “is it still available” I will not respond, I will delete the post seconds after its sold. Sorry about the sideways shots, not sure why that happened! [hidden information]
Unclear what this is, but the year suggests a DJ-3A.

https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/cto/d/red-oak-1961-jeep-fj3a-willys-fleetvan/7464358342.html
“We are selling this amazing 1961 Jeep FJ3A Fleetvan from our collection. We initially were going to use for our business but have decided to go a different direction. These vans are incredibly rare in the step van world. These don’t come up for sale often, if they do they sell quick.
It is a very clean vehicle for its age and has lived the past ten years indoors inside a wedding venue. It has the original vin plate on the dash. No motor or trans so it’s a great start for a new motor or leave as is and pull it like a trailer.
This size van would make a perfect candidate for your next mobile business vehicle. It’s a blank canvas for your taco truck, food truck, ice cream truck, coffee truck or whatever you can dream up….The sky is the limit!
Currently not running. No title, Bill of sale only. “
This brochure sold on eBay. It shares a Jeep-Approved bumper for CJ-5s, CJ-6s, FCs, Trucks, and Gladiators. It is form F144W.
This was a purpose-modified, possibly M-38, used as part of a geological survey, so it has some unusual mods. There’s probably not much value here, but it would interesting to poke around to check out the mods.

“Willys jeep. Was part of the geological survey. It has a hydraulic core sample drill built on the back. It’s pretty rough but it drove to its current position. Located in chino hills.”
Anyone recognize the transfercase on this rig? It appears that the pic at the very bottom was taken before the jeep was painted gray? This may have a Bobcat hood.

Before being repainted?
This CJ-2A may have been a column shift. It appears the gear shift sits back where the PTO shifter generally is.

It looks like the body may have been stretched some (to fit the CJ-7 frame) and the gas-inlet hole covered over.

“52 willys project. Clean title. 87 cj7 frame. 360 engine. In pieces ran when parked.”
