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 $1500/
Has a military windshield. Wonder how that hood got dented.

(01/25/2018) This doesn’t run at the moment. It has modifications. I believe it may have been partly disassembled. I believe the pic shows what it looked like prior to that.

“This Willys CJ-3A is in fair condition. I was in the process of fully restoring it and stripped it down to the frame and had the Borg-Warner T-15 transmission, Dana Spicer C-18 transfer case, E-brake, and aftermarket Warn overdrive rebuilt by a company who rebuilds transmissions for Kaiser Willys. I also bought a used 1996 throttle body injected 4.3L Vortec engine and PCM for it, and have the bellhousing for it. The engine that was in it when I bought it is a 1975 Buick 3.8L it is in rough condition but comes with the vehicle. I have the 1951 Washington collectors plate, canvas top, canvas doors, original and extra seats for the vehicle as well.”

“Stripped down to the bare frame and rebuilt back up, this rare CJ6 is a real sight to behold! This 1973 CJ6 had a complete restoration done to it which included a rebuilt 304 cubic inch engine that sounds healthy and makes enough power for any road or trail you intend to take it on. The restoration was done over a couple years time and was completed in 2004. Since it was completed there have only been just over 750 easy miles put on it! The exterior has a beautiful blue paint job laid on top of the freshly done body work and the chassis, bumpers, and corners have all been coated with a protecting layer of undercoating which is durable and pairs well with the rest of the exterior.
The interior was completely reupholstered an all weather material that will not break down if it get wet or dirty, and had a bumping stereo put in it that you can hear with clarity even at cruising speed. Setting the whole look off, this truck has a set of American Racing wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich Mud Terrain tires that will give you maximum grip when you need it the most.
This is a unique vehicle that is in almost mint condition. No top. Buyer pays all shipping”
Appears to have a military head.

“My son Lee got this from Jim Sullivan a couple of years ago. Once he got it from Jim, he found the hardtop body and tub were very rusty and had been cut by previous owners many years before. So he began modifications on this Jeep. It still retains the stock DJ3A frame, (with serial number), 4 lug wheels, front and rear axles (4.56 rear end ratio), and steering column topped with a Willys station wagon wheel. It has a custom seat, teardrop taillights. It is titled as a 1957 DJ3A.
The body is a new CJ3A reproduction body with a 4 inch chopped windshield, new gauges, padded roll bar, 11 gallon aluminum gas tank in the rear of the body, new wheels, trim rings, baby moon hubcaps and wide white wall tires, the rear being “piecrust” slicks due to the design of the slots around the edge of the tires. Custom front bumper and bikini top. It has a 1979 Buick 231 V6 and automatic transmission, a custom shifter and new gauges. New master cylinder and wheel cylinders. New wiring from the dashboard back, but needs a front wiring harness and a set of headlight buckets(CJ2 , DJ3Aor 3A type). The Jeep needs to be finished, front wiring harness, headlights and headlight buckets, carburetor. The color is 2013 Dodge Challenger Copper Mango Tango.”
