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 .

“Offering for sale my 1956 Willys CJ3B Jeep. I have too many projects and this one need a new home. It is a candidate for restoration as it has not been customized and has all factory parts. 6.50 X 16 inch mud grips in good shape. Jeep starts and runs fine. Four cylinder F head -134 engine is strong – NO SMOKE, NO LEAKS. 5:38 ratio axles so this is not a freeway jeep. New fuel tank, clutch, starter and flywheel ring gear. The transmission has been rebuilt and has about 20 miles on it. The seats are original and in good shape due to the metal cab. Cab has excellent glass, door glasses roll up/down. Cab was built by Koenig Iron Works (Houston, TX). and is solid. Jeep has surface rust and some rust in traditional places. Steering is good with minimal play. Heater, headlights and gauges all work. Converted to 12V with one wire Delco alternator. Brakes will need some work to make it safe to drive. This would make a great hunting (keep you and your equipment dry) or a great ranch jeep. I will give you a BILL OF SALE and am asking $2500 CASH to make this deal.
Scammers please leave me alone

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price
This could still use some work, but looks pretty stock.
“This is a 1948 Willys Jeep, CJ2A, 4WD. It has a full aluminum cab. It has front wheel locking hubs. I believe it to be all original, or repaired with parts designed for it. This Jeep is the original Utility Vehicle. It is a quarter ton truck, 4WD; a working machine that is ready to use. You can start driving it and using it the moment you get it.
This Jeep runs very well. It starts every time, even on bitter cold January mornings after sitting outside all night. Our routine is to start the Jeep about once every two weeks. It starts readily every time.
The engine was recently rebuilt. Since we seldom drive this Jeep, it has virtually no miles on the rebuild. This Jeep engine is the original Jeep engine. The gas tank has been sealed, the brakes completely reworked.”
UPDATE: Was $2500. **SOLD**

“M422A1 Mighty Mite, I bought this little mite to restore but now have to sell it because my situation has changed. This little Mite runs well and does not smoke. The transmission shifts easily and has no problems. The drive line is smooth and quiet. The body is strait and has no bondo or body filler. This would be an easy restore as most of the work is done already. Now for the bad, the brakes do not work ( need bleeding ), the windshield needs glass and the lights need to be checked. Also needs seat covers. I am unaware of any other items that is needed to make it a good driving piece of military history. There are not too many of these left.
From January 1960 to January 1963 American Motors Corporation (AMC) delivered about 4000 “Mighty Mites” to the United States Marine Corps for use in Vertical Envelopment Operations [i.e. airborne/ parachuting]. The 4×4 has a 4-speed manual transmission, is powered by an air-cooled aluminium V4 engine, and was designed to haul 850 pounds while pulling 1000 pounds in a trailer. With dimensions of 107″x60″, it has a 65″ wheelbase, and a fueled weight of 1750 pounds.”

“I have what I believe (after researching serial numbers) to be a 1958 cj3b willys jeep for sale.Do not have a Title though .It was given to me with a bad clutch several years ago by a friend, I was going to just use it around my property or make a project vehicle out of it later on if I could aquire a title for it.I have started it several times since aquiring it and the engine sounds pretty good considering the age of it and the fact that it sat a few years before me aquiring it.I did drive it around a little bit and the gears all worked but the clutch was slipping so bad I had to park it.It would make a great project vehicle or for parts for someone elses project (since the parts are probably hard to find).I did call the DMV and it sounds like you could possibly get a title for it without to much hastle given its age.asking 1500.00 for it.Also has a small plow with it.Thanks for looking Ray”
