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 $2500. turns out this was an 1942 GPW.
Includes a Capstan winch. Thanks to David for sending this one. The grille is likely from a DJ-3A.

“3 Willys Jeeps for sale or trade. One is running and 2 are parts jeeps.”
More progress made on the racer this weekend. The floors are installed and mostly bolted. The pedals are all in place. The steering was in place, but I was unhappy with the final angle of the front support bearing, so I plan to redo that support so that it angles differently. Hopefully, I will get that done and installed today.
Here’s how the rear top crossmember that holds the rear fire extinguisher looks. The two holes on either side are the shoulder strap attachments.
Here are the three pedals (with the steering drive shaft disconnected from the quick-turn unit).
One thing I still need are a brake and clutch pedal pad. Any recommendations on what I can use that has a similar mount point and size? (these were from the yellow racer .. I didn’t like the other racer’s pedals). These look to be rubber casings over metal pedals, but both pedal bolts are in bad shape. this is the good one …
The master cylinders are attached (the brakes are ready to go). I have to get an adapter to connected the clutch line to the clutch master cylinder. Everything is fitting well. I have to say the fire wall turned out better than I thought. Remember, I flattened the old firewall from the yellow racer and re-bent it into the shape I wanted.
Here side view of the gas pedal setup. One thing I learned from my first race jeep was that having a firm, stable gas pedal was greatly beneficial when racing, due to the bouncing. I could plant the bottom of my foot firmly, while using the top of my foot to feather the gas. This setup is based on what I built for Biscuit, but heavier duty.
Bill shared this article about Mahindra’s EV Prototype called “Thar.e”. Some folks seems to like the design, but I can’t say I’m a big fan. To angular for my tastes. I expect it will have 4 wheel drive or All wheel drive, but those details haven’t been released (or so indicates the article below).

Not 100% original, but appears pretty original.

“This is an original 1960 Willy’s CJ3B in excellent condition. Has 39,780 actual miles and runs, drives perfect. I bought it from the 2nd owners, an elderly couple who were retired and not using it any longer. It had been stored in their heated garage for the last 32 years and started or driven occasionally. It looks exactly like it does in the photos and starts and runs perfect. It’s a rare high hood 3B and in original condition. Has has had a very rare passenger side fuel tank installed and looks factory. 4X4 works perfect, heater works, and stops like it should. Original 16″ wheels with new 700×16″ non-directional tires(100 miles). Seats do not have any rips or tears on them and the floorboards have no rust. Has horn and blinkers. We drive it about 2 times per week for ice cream outings. Nothing to do to this jeep but drive it. Will sell for $18,500 or consider trade for nice 60s or 70s muscle car.”
Seller says it has a vibration problem. Might be worth a look.

“I bought this but have other jeep priorities. It starts and runs but had a vibration at over 25 mph. It’s been in my barn for 2 years. Firm on the price. Thanks. Would consider interesting trade”
JW is selling his J53, because he bought an M-38 (which he found on eWillys).

“This 1986 J53 diesel Jeep is in great shape and it runs fantastic. Truly a rare Jeep, there are not many like it in the United States. It has more power than a flat fender but still has classic Willys style. If you own this you’ll have the most unique Jeep in the group. Original 30443 Km on the odometer, which is 18,916 miles. Clear title in my name. Why buy a side by side ATV or a UTV when you can have a street legal turbo-diesel Jeep!”
Update 12-27-24: Ad is still up and working, now listed at $25,200
Someone spent a lot of time and/or money working on this truck.

“jeep runs and drives needs brake work and gas tank engine is good and drive train the body needs either new rear panels or a new tub. Top is like new. My son and friend took the pics i don’t have a camera so this is all the pics that will be taken so if you’re interested come look, I was going to restore it because it was my dad’s but just don’t have time”
Interesting sun shade on front of the windshield. The sticker in the back driver’s side corner suggests this was a California jeep at one time.

“My grandfather restored the jeep in the early 80’s. Runs great.”
