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 on eBay. As I understand it, this top was quietly manufactured for Willys Motors by Koenig, but never branded a Koenig. I am also of the belief that it fits both the CJ-5 and the DJ-3A, though the latter needs the windshield with ‘wings’ to fit.
This brochure makes it clear that the CJ-5 hardtop with sliding doors also provided an option for hinging the door instead. I think Mike might have told that was an option, but I’d never seen documentation of it until now.
This is a series of datasheets from circa 1958 on eBay. The start prices are $12 each.
Nick named the “Beer Runner”, the builder of this jeep made an effort to do something a little different.

This is an interesting rig. It’s listed as a 1956, but it’s got a ’52/’53 hinged grille. It’s got an M-38A1 body, but doesn’t have the battery cowl lid or lip.
“Cute and fun to drive…5 New tires from Discount tires $1,000…new exhaust system from manifold to rear…new front brakes.
Motor is a 232 Ambassador 6 not the small 4 & 6 cylinder motors offered.
All Canvas in good shape…windows zip down…ready for a winch…has hitch for towing.

I have some extra parts such as races and bearings and seals for the front locking hubs…so ask for them if you buy the jeep.”
UPDATE: This was supposed to have been auctioned in Nov. 2017. Either it didn’t sell or it did and the buyer is ready to sell.

It still needs some work.
“This is a very clean and insanely rust free original body ’51 CJ3-A. The previous owner did all the paint work, and engine swap. It is nearly complete. Needs some tuning and timing. The t-90 transmission needs to be serviced or rebuilt. I contacted Washougal Classic Jeep about this job, and it is a fairly affordable job through them, or even a fairly easy rebuild to tackle at home if you are so inclined. The seats have been freshly reupholstered. Soft top is older and has a few tears, but does fold, and all the zippers work. Has new electric wiper motors also. Fiberglass hood. One tire has a slow leak, but i think it is a valve stem issue. it doesn’t have any punctures that I can locate.
231 Buick V6 swap is neat and well done. Aluminum radiator, electric fan. I have had it up and running, but have not driven it.
I picked this Jeep up in a trade thinking I would finish it up and do some wheeling, but another project is calling my name more. Needs a new owner who loves these old jeeps to wrap it up and have a really killer little rig. Clean OR title. Currently runs but DOES NOT DRIVE. BRING A TRAILER. I won’t bring it to you, or do any of the work it needs for you. For sale as-is, where it is.”
