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 $4950.
This might be worth a look.
“Very nice 1953 CJ3B that has a professionally restored engine with no miles since rebuild. If your in the market for a nice vintage jeep this is the one for you.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1250.
This runs, has a hardtop.
“This is a 1969 Jeep CJ5. It was used as a snow plow and comes with all the hydraulics and parts except for the plow it self, also comes with an extra set of 5 original tires and rims. It has a new windshield frame, no windshield and THE original steel hard top AND matching doors. The motor runs and the transmission shifts very well. The rear breaks are out but the fronts are new. Has working transfer case and both axles are good. I recently drove it around the block and it had no problems but it is not road worthy. This Jeep is great for an offroad project or a donor for your own project. I want to sell and i’m ready to negotiate too.’
Even includes a hubcap.

“I had no plans on selling this jeep, but need cash more than the Willys. It was modified for a movie.
The tub is a 1945 wartime MB jeep. It has newer tires, new glass, new regulator, and a newer rebuilt generator. It is 12 volts. The engine is a 1953 Hurricane engine. Has a T90 transmission. It is a driver, and is old, but is a blast. The carb leaks a little, but I have a brand new one that goes with the jeep.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4500.

TJ spotted this half cab for a Commando.
“Item has all the parts but screws, it does have rust, it is repairable but not something I want to tackle these are not getting any easier to find…”
These bumpers were manufactured for jeeps.

The slight rust on the upper corners do not go through the metal.

The rear of the body is a GPW, but the rest is less clear.

(01/09/2018) This former UN DJ-3A (not sure what documentation there is on that claim) has been converted to 4WD.
https://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/cto/d/1965-jeep-dj3a-project/6509956496.html
“I purchased this project from the widow of the 68 year old previous owner almost 3 years ago around 6 months after he passed away. He was working on it and had some of the brakes and drum parts new in the cargo area but since i have not had any time to get to it, it’s for sale.
The notion that the motor is from a Corvette of 1957 to 1961 came from the widow of the previous owner but again she was not too sure wanting to be on the safe side and I never investigate it neither so far.
52,000 miles on the body but has been mostly a tow vehicle after retiring from the United Nation, so even less than 52,000 Miles on everything minus the motor and of course this relatively new engine replacement.
Again believe it or not “relatively” good original seats with only one little tear needing to be refreshed.
Comes with lots of new and old spare parts including drums/brakes, LED headlights and more.
I changed the bent front bumper with again a tow bar like the previous and also changed the wheels and tires.
I also bought lots of little parts included to be installed by next owner.
If interested, Please call me for more details.
Not much rust at all.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3495
(01/15/2018) This may have a funky replacement body. It’s got the large single speedo.

I didn’t realize that this CJ-3B prototype was the first right-hand-drive-US car made for the US since 1923.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $150.
Paul spotted this hi-compression head designed for high altitude engines. As I understand it, the “High Altitude” option had a higher compression ratio of 7.4:1, compared with the stock ratio of 6.9:1.
“Hi compression Hi altitude Head for the tough Hurricane 4 motor . It is complete with valve train and has been freshly resurfaced . If you spend time up on the rim or any other place where altitude could be an issue for full performance then this is the answer for you .
Thank you for looking . I also have other 134 cu in Hurricane 4 parts available upon request”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
This appears worth a look.
“I would like to sell or trade my 72 Jeepster commando. It runs and drives and is registered as an antique. It has a strong 304 V8 that was supposedly rebuilt by the previous owner. It’s a 3 speed manual trans with manual steering, brakes, and 4×4. The tires are 32 inch bfg all terrains and are in great shape.”
Looks in good shape.

Tim posted this chassis with a Parkette racing body on it. Price Unknown. Has anyone run across a Parkette racing shell like this in the PNW (with the solid back on top and a dash that rolls down, then curves with the sides? I bet this one came out of Georgia when Paul Parker moved back there, but that’s just a guess.
