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 .
The February 1948 issue of Popular Science included a small blurb about this custom wood jeep out of Seattle built on a WW2 chassis.
Interesting sprayer setup.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
Looks solid. Lacks combat rims. Not all the accessories are included.
“I am selling my US Army WW2 1943 dated Willys Jeep. Currently registered with historical plates, insured and inspected.
Some of the accessories shown included. What IS NOT included is the M1919 and the accessories that go with it. However the gun mount pedestal will remain since it is bolted to the vehicle. The vehicle was restored in 2008 by a west Virginia military museum from which I had purchased this from and still a 6 volt electrical system. I put in new universal joints in the front end last year but it does need an oil seal replacement. Please feel free to ask any questions, thanks.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
Looks good for the price.

David Tracy wrote a good piece of the engineering flaw(?) related to the WWII jeeps, specifically the installation of the bell crank on the axle and the problems it caused. He also does a good pointing out that there were alternatives to Willys’ steering system that were used by Bantam and Ford on their prototypes. I’m sure he would have liked an answer as to WHY Willys ended up using the system it did, but he doesn’t draw any conclusions.
You can read his article here: http://truckyeah.jalopnik.com/the-legendary-world-war-ii-jeep-had-a-dangerous-enginee-1797186236
Bellcrank photo is from the G503 thread: https://g503.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=96&t=224584&start=90

(05/12/2017) Body looks great. Needs an engine and some other pieces. If this doesn’t come with the gas inlet, there’s one for sale on eBay. It’s a good price, too. Seller also had a 1963 DJ chassis for sale. Interesting that it has a 0-10 speedo, which, if original to the jeep, would more likely make it an early 1956 model.
“1957 Jeep – Willys DJ3A. Rare 2w.d. “Dispatcher” model. Great candidate to restore as Surrey beach car. Major metalwork completed and presented in treated bare metal. Ready for finish bodywork and paint. Very complete except missing original engine. Has two transmissions, factory steps and curved front bumper. Rolls and steers. Clean Ariz . title. $2900.00. Also have another DJ3A rolling frame with matching 1963 title for $600.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4750.

“Ford script.. jeep… great jeep…. for hunting… or just driving around…..
