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 $15,000.

I just bought this for a few buck on eBay. How about this crazy contraption for running dunes? The postcard is a jumbo 6.5″ x 9″. I looked for more information about it, but all I could find was a reference in a book by J. Conrad and Kathyln Dunagan about a Jeep developed in the sand dunes (see bottom pic).
“Jumbo Antique Postcard 1970’s Chrome Famous Sand Hills Jeep Texas Sand Dunes”
Google result that shows a reference to a “jeep ride”
The buy now price is only $7.99.

This was listed on Sellajeep.com. Whether it’s perfect enough or not for the price is up to the buyer, but it is a nice looking wagon.

It’s a 3 on the 3 shifter. Very rare and hard to find vehicle, only 4066 were made. They range from $8,000 to $50,000 depending on condition. To be finished it needs bumpers, top canvas, better tires and rims, more wiring (have it just not installed) radio and antenna, and undercoating.”
Seller has the title, but it isn’t in his name. This is a 2A that’s been modified to look sore of like a 3B.

https://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/cto/d/1953-willys-cj3b-cj-3b-jeep/6688787616.html
“I have owned this jeep for about a year. I have a clean and clear tile in my hands. It is in overall great shape and starts and runs great. Also included is a repair manual and a few boxes of miscellaneous parts. I purchased this jeep with the intent to restore and use as a UTV on my land in Michigan. However at 6’3 220 it’s a little too small for me and I have since picked a Series 3 Land Rover for that purpose. Please read below for detailed info.
The tub on the jeep is custom made from ~ 1/8” steel. The dash, hood, etc is original. I sanded the body down to remove all surface rust, coated it with por 15, and then sprayed on Liner Xtreeme Olive Drab Bed Liner. This body should outlast all of us. Also new tail lights and all ignition wiring. Continue reading
Thanks to a couple folks for sharing this link. It has an automatic?

This quick post will cover two unrelated topics.
If I don’t see the site reappear soon (this means his web host received a payment), then I’ll launch the information from files I gathered from his site (SiteSucker is a very handy application). I’ll let you know when the site goes back up.
Ann had a craving for crab. When we decided to go camping, she went shopping for some camping food and felt 1/2 a crab each ought to be enough. She approved the fish counter and said she wanted 2 crabs (as the crab was already cleaned and separated into halves).
However, the person behind the counter interpreted that as 1 crab (2 halves) each or 4 halves total. The counter-person went to work, while Ann was blissfully unaware what was happening …. she said she was trying to remember how she had setup the sprinkler system in 2005.
When the counter-person handed her the package, she thought it looked big, but didn’t think much of it. Only when she got home did she open to find SIX HALVES!
Now, I don’t know where the disconnect happened, but I can confirm that I had my fill of crab Wednesday night 🙂 🙂
Zach spotted this great, funky jeep. Listed as a 1952, it appears to be a GPW based on the front crossmember. Given it runs, it looks like a great price.

Michael shared this Jalopnik story of a 79 year old German man’s ride in a jeep last year, thanks in part to Christian’s Willys Am Tegernsee group. It was the first time he’d been in a jeep since 1945. Read the whole story here:

UPDATE: Anyone know who purchased this in September of 2016? I have a reader who is interested in this particular 2A.
This may be worth a look.

“that’s right, the rare CJ6. this is a hell of a rig, one of the survivors. the douche that sold it to me 2 years ago didn’t tell me that the engine was in need of a total overhaul. SO, that’s what it got. still the same engine that came with it from the factory, but has been rebuilt and runs like a champ. this has an auto trans, and the seats (that someone went through a lot to fabricate) allow more leg room than i’ve ever seen in a CJ at all. they need to be recovered, but are an amazing upgrade. wheels could use a sandblast and re-coating (paint or powder coat) the tire rack is made to hold a high lift, a shovel and an axe. body is in amazing shape for the age. full soft top and doors, zippers are not that great but work well enough. has a set of half doors also. full roll cage.
this is an amazing rig. and after i had the cracked head, and shot pistons replaced during the rebuild it’s become one of my fave rigs.
NEEDS- Shocks, better tires. larger fuel tank (personal opinion)
got the rig broken for 6k, and put 3k into it. it’s a jeep, and i know i wont get my money out of it, but it’s worth what it’s listed at. tire kickers and people that complain about dirt will get laughed off the property. it’s a jeep, i expect jeep people.”
Has updates. Missing the steps.
