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: This sold for $14,889.99 on eBay. I just discovered that this was listed on KSL for only $8000!
I’ll be in Salt Lake City this Tuesday/Wednesday.

It’s listed asa. M-606, but I don’t see anything to indicate it is anything other than a CJ-3B. Notice that just behind the bumper it appears there are a couple of support bars that appear non stock.

This has the Pontiac slant 4. That’s the engine I wanted for Biscuit.
“This is a one of a kind project. The motor is a 195.5 slant 4 Pontiac, 389 cut in 1/2. This motor was designed by John Delorian,and is capable of 300 hp asperated & 500 hp supercharged. The motor came only in the 1961 and 1962 Pontiac tempest. I am in a tight spot and must sell.”

There is some parts value at the very least.
“I have a mostly original M38. Its a project needsless to say. I was told this jeep sat in a field for many years. It is a very restorable jeep floors are solid. The only rust is in the side panels. They do sell replacement side panels online.”
Not sure how much value is here.

The Sears branded Dualmatic hubs might be the most valuable part of the jeep.

“Three classic Willys CJ Jeeps. First is a 1951 CJ3A with plow. Ran a couple of years ago and will run again. Title in hand. Next are two 1940s vintage CJ2As. One of those is complete and correct. Have NY registration. All have been outside for a long time and are rusty and rough. Save these from the crusher! A great collection for a project or for the valuable parts that are nearly impossible to find nowadays. $800 takes all. A steal! You move. Must take all three. Will not separate or part out.
Please provide your name and cell phone number if interested in a reply.”
My newest cutting board arrived today, thanks to an eWillys reader named Tom Gallagher. His boards earned a great write-up in the National Barbecue news a few years ago. He carefully selects the wood and makes each one himself.
This is a great addition to my growing collection of cutting boards (I like kitchen stuff as much as jeep stuff), so many thanks to Tom for sending it! You can learn more about his boards at his website: http://pigcuttingboard.com/
UPDATE: Price dropped to $9950.
This has drive train upgrades. It also had a later model jeep rim as an air filter cover. It looks like the rear ends of the body have been lengthened, yielding a slightly different body lines along the rear bottom of the jeep.

The Truck ad is from the September 8, 1955, issue of the Heppner Gazette-Times, while the wagon is from the October 27, 1955, issue. I guess the 1955 fall advertising theme was “All-Purpose”.
This will be auctioned in August.

“Looking to trade my 1953 CJ3B. It has a 283 V8 with a 2 spd powerglide transmission. I do have the 4wd tranny that came with it and the front driveshaft. Was tagged and inspected last year but have not redone it since putting the auto transmission in. It still needs some tinkering with the linkage to be completely ready. It has a little trouble shifting into park. Starts drives and stops. Could use a tune up. It will need a little patchwork done around the shifter. I also have a brand new soft top and doors that have never been installed. Would like to trade for and older car or truck or a rat rod. Doesn’t have to be completely finished I don’t mind doing a little work on something that catches my eye. Clear title in my name.”
