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: Was $3000. **SOLD**
(11/02/2010) I’d be interested to see the data plates/serial number plate for this one.
“Rare 1959 Cj3BM Jeep; Made in Japan by Mitsubishi. Needs to be restored. Motor runs but smokes a little. Steering box needs rebuilding. $3000 firm.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5475
(03/25/2010) This looks like a nice CJ.
“1951 Willy’s Jeep CJ3a. I bought this Jeep a few years back from the original owner. They had converted it to a V-8 back in 1971 or so. Chevrolet 283 out of a Chevelle. Runs and looks great. It has been in storage in my barn for 2 years now. I bought new rims and tires for it and haven’t driven it since I put them on. The top was new when I purchased it and it’s in great shape. It needs a good cleaning from being in storage. I do have the owners manual and prior service notes done by the previous owner. It does have power steering as well.”
I wanted to thank everyone for the kind notes that wandered my direction in my hours of need. Fortunately, I was not so ill that I feared for my life; no, it was just a cold that I hoped I could sleep away (and am better today). None-the-less, Gerald took it upon himself to search the internet for a few pics that might cheer me up. Without going into his slightly twisted approach to this task, I will share the below pic.
I must say, I will never be well enough to lick chocolate off of a Jeep. Never …. hmmm … unless it is 60% Belgian Dark Chocolate. Only then will I even consider it.
I don’t know the history of the “lick off”, but I haven’t seen that much tongue action in years.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
“this is a 1959 willys jeep with a 289 small block ford engine. No registration or title. Has too much dmv back registration due to be worth registering. cash sale. runs good.”

Looks nice. I can’t tell if this has an engine in it.

UPDATE: **SOLD** at Auction.
Both of these Jeeps appear in good condition. It looks like the GPW (the jeep pictures at bottom) comes with the some stainless.

“1957 willys Overland Wagon, very very clean, 307 buick rocket motor, very clean body, sitting on s-10 frame, just need wiring and finished, Have everything needed to finish minus driveshaft.”
This doesn’t look too bad; if the price is right this might be a good project.

“i have a 1948 jeep willys flat fender that i bought in the process of a restoration. this jeep had a ford small block v8 w/ c6 tranny when i bought it, but i made arrangements with the previous owner as he wanted to keep the motor… so, buy a ford v8 and bell housing, and everything will bolt right up and run! this jeep has soa lift started and everything is in place, but perches have not yet been welded, so if you want, you can set suspension back to stock. the frame was sandblasted and repainted by previous owner, and it has custom fabbed rollcage. the jeep’s tub is in great shape with no rust holes or rot, as the jeep is from tennesee where i bought it, however, it will need to be painted. like i said, it had the running ford v8 drivetrain in it, so all the fab and mod work is done, no guesswork needed. call 920-251-2910 and leave message if interested.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here’s a very nice build.
“
I have had this Jeep for the past 18 years and am the second owner. It is in very good shape being a Calif. vehicle all of its life WITH NO RUST. The 3B is in very good condition but not a “show car” it does have a few bumps and bruises but NEVER BEEN ABUSED. The 3B is very capable off road and I have been to such places as Moab UT, Rubicon Trail in CA, Ducey Trail CA, Pismo Beach, Dumont Dunes and numerous other trail in CA, UT, AZ. The 3B will stay with the newer CJ5, Wrangler, and any other 4×4 off road, 4×4, rock crawling or in the sand dunes ( I just wish I had paddle tires at times ) …”
It looks pretty rough.

(07/10/2010) “I have a Civilian Jeep Willys that was originally going to be a V8 conversion. My Uncle lost interest and purchased another that already had a V6 installed. I have acquired the original project but don’t have the time nor money to do all the projects that I already have going, let alone a Jeep. It will come with two frames, one has work started for the V8 conversion (1946), the other (1947) has all the stock(?) parts installed (engine, trans and differentials.) The body is currently off the Jeep. The body is in pretty good shape for its age. Work has been done on the floors and PORed to repair/replace rust. This Jeep will take some work to put back together, but most, if not everything, is there. The age-old saying goes, it ran when parked, but needed a starter. I imagine by now it will probably also need carburetor work (new seals and gaskets) as it has been a very long time since it has ran.
If you are interested, give me a call or text at 209.918.1883 or e e-mail bugntjw@comcast.net; I will respond back as quick as possible.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(12/23/2009) The body has been raised to fit an aftermarket gas tank.
“Up for your consideration is a 1943 WW II US military Jeep with a 1/4 ton Bantam trailer the Jeep is fairly complete it was running and was in the process of being restored but due to a move and other reasons that is no longer an option. The engine is all original except the carb which was being replaced by an aftermarket one as I could not find a correct one. It has a new ignition switch which will need to be installed as well as that was also being done but halted. It has the battle rims and the data plates and blackout lights. The Jeep sits on lift blocks to clear an aftermarket gas tank and provide a little more clearance the headlights are from a CJ 2 but the grille was not cut or altered to allow them to fit making for an easy to convert back fix.
The trailer has been modified and has a drop gate and some rust in the front also the hitch and tongue has been extended and a ball hitch added and the pintle hitch was removed at some depot at some point in time, I looked for a long time and was quite happy to eventually find an original WW II trailer to go with this project. The tail lights are not original neither is the steering wheel or roll bar or seats.The body or tub is in good condition with no rust or major work needed to bring it back to stock. IIRC this has 20K miles on it I bought it from a WW II veteran and was going to restore with my dad who was also a WW II veteran having served in the Pacific theater he learned to fully appreciate these and what they could do ….”
Roberto got a change to take Altona out and play in the snow in Spain. I too got out and drove in the snow in Biscuit, but I don’t have a top … it was really cold! In fact, at one point a truck drove by me at about 40mph and launched slushy snow/water onto the hood, into the windshield and over the windshield into my lap! Fortunately, I had my snow bibs on and was dressed warm, so no damaged done …
Here’s some pics from Roberto:
Brett forwarded this ad. There may be some value here. It has been disassembled.
“This Jeep is a definite project. All the parts are there but have been removed from the frame for work. I have become married and do not have the time to devote like i should. I am interested in any good trades for the Jeep. Text is the best way to get ahold of me. Comes with aftermarket roll bar, fiberglass wheel wells, and hard top.”

Brett spotted this project. I think at the very least the body is a DJ-3A. However, it shouldn’t have a PTO or the CJ-2A windshield. So, I’m gonna guess this is a combo vehicle of some type — probably a DJ-3A/CJ-2A.
“great shape willys flat fender $1300.00. needs some tlc. the axles were just totally gone through at six states. drivelines rebiult. basically i was going to do a ground up restoration but i have a baby on the way and this needs to go. so the frame, axles total under carrige is all done and undercoated. i just bolted the body back on without finishing it. so if your wanting a cool project that is started out right call. it does also have a pto winch. price these out and you are getting a hell of a deal. i have 800.00 just in the seat frames and having them upolstered. call me with any questions. thanks for the interest.”
