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: Still Available.
Looks in great shape.

The 2A looks like a good candidate for a rebuild. The 3A is a parts jeep.
“I have a 1947 Willys Jeep. It is painted yellow although my plan was to repaint in Army green. Body in very good condition as is frame – no rust. Does not run, but ready to be rebuilt. I have about $1,200 of boxed parts including a new wiring harness and new radiator. Additionally I have an extra set of tires and rims and a second jeep, 1953, of the same model to use for parts.”

“Selling my dads jeep, had a frame on restore years ago. it is in good shape runs and drives good. Could use someone to tinker with it to make it perfect. Needs battery, still 6v may get one soon. This jeep is all there no bs. It’s the real deal all original. This is over 70 years old and would make a great addition to any collection. 15,000.00 obo no trades.”
Looks like a clean build, but I need more pics to be convinced it’s the “best looking truck on the planet”.
“The best looking truck on the Planet~~~. I have had this comment several times for various people. I’m not sure about it but if not, its damn close! Multi-year project to bring this awesome machine to the fantastic condition and performance level that it is today. This muscle truck has a high end Chevy 350 with a 700 R automatic transmission as well as Power steering, power brakes, custom oak interior, mounted on a 4 link, etc, etc, etc…. It drives so smooth at highway speeds you think you’re driving a new truck,….and essentially you are! Everything done right!

(02/01/2017) Lots of updates.
“1947 CJ2A body on a 1974 CJ5 frame. 327 cubic inch Chevy engine, 3 speed manual, four wheel drive, rear lockers. This was basically a frame off restoration. The engine was rebuilt and everything is either new or refurbished. Front disk brakes, new gauges. The odometer was set to zero when the engine was finished. The frame and body were sand blasted and painted. No rust or body damage. Custom seats, power steering, new Bestop soft top. Windshield wipers and a heater have been added for Colorado weather. Reverse shackle leaf springs for improved handling, tilt steering. It runs and drives great. Good Offroad setup. I inherited this jeep so I don’t have some of the specifics on certain parts. The price is fair and firm. It needs to be seen to be appreciated.”

Last weekend the Willys Overland Jeepster Club held their annual Spring meet for the 51st time. Sixty members and a dozen Jeepsters attended the event at Dundee, Michigan. A Fall Meet will occur later this year.

PHOTO CREDIT: Monroe News by Tom Hawley. Kevin Stepinski is waving out the door of his 1949 Jeepster.
This photo features 2 Bantam BRC-40s. I’m wondering if the date of publishing was later than the photography date, given the Bantams.
“You are bidding on an original press photo of WWII Soldiers Drive Jeep Autos Through Water. Newspaper markings on photo. Photo measures 6.5 x 8.5 inches and is dated 8/22/1944.”

https://santabarbara.craigslist.org/cto/6160671823.html
Looks nice.
“1960 CJ3B. Red, originally white. Very good shape, runs very well. Needs nothing. ZERO RUST. Soft Top Bikini Top, Jeepster wheels, carpet, optional heat, over drive. Brand new brake shoes, cylinders. 12 volt conversion, generator rebuilt in 2013. Fresh oil change. Original hard top with doors comes in sale. Original hurricane 4-cylinder motor. 66,xxx actual miles. My father bought this brand new in Austin Texas and he owned it until 2009, at which point I obtained it when he was no longer able to drive. So this is a one family jeep for 57 years. It has been a driver, not a show car so it has the occasional scuff and the old radio no longer works.
Always stored indoors and presently in my garage where it has been parked every night. Clear and clean VA title in my name. Open to offers, cash speaks loudly. I am not forced to sell this Jeep so I won’t entertain any low ball offers. NADA has an average retail value of $14000 which I think is off (too high). This is very much an above average Jeep for a below average price. The final two pictures are one of me in the Jeep circa 1977 and one of my sons circa 2013. All of the other pictures were taken 6/3/17 with more to come. I can get pictures of whatever is requested.”

Glenn’s selling his DJ-3A he named “Miss Willy”. Ann and I rode in it back in 2013, shortly before someone hit Glenn while driving it. Miss Willy was the 122nd one produced after our newest DJ-3A convertible “Paterson” (10366) and only 50 units before “Rusty” (10538). Like Paterson and Rusty, it too has the convertible body. Glenn’s hoping a DJ-3A lover will restore it.
“Miss Willy, a 2WD early production 2WD Jeep, was wrecked almost two years ago. Health issues have prevented me from rebuilding this California beauty. An almost perfect rust free body, nice floors and hat channels, a few scratches from flipping on its side, has frame, hood, windshield, fenders damage and probably some hidden problems. Brakes left 4 perfect skid marks in the wreck. Interior is usable and pretty. No Engine or Radiator included as I used them in another project. I shipped this from California awhile back so it’s an easy rebuild. Use your ideas and parts or I have a total of seven of these DJ3A’s to provide anything needed at extra cost. I can deliver this to you for reasonable cost as I’m going to The Great Willys Picnic in Kempton (Allentown) PA on June 11, 2017. The price is $2500 CASH. Open CA Title. Email for contact / details. Here’s wreck details from a favorite Willys Site:”
