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 $8000.
Looks in good shape. Has an OD and PTO winch.
“CJ3B 1962 Jeep from southwestern US. Repowered with small V8. 3 speed with Warn overdrive.”
A couple of things I noticed on this 1962 3B, Not sure about this, that’s why I’m asking. #! When did Kaiser do away with Willys stamped into the grille? #2 This one doesn’t have the right side (passenger side) fresh air vent, I thought by 1962, this was already standard. And then I notice the windshield wiper motor cover mounted on the passenger side, I thought that was unusual (most likely an add on) but any I’ve seen on CJ5’s, have always been mounted on the driver’s side.
Can anyone give me some insight on these questions? Just curious, It’s going to bug me till I have answers.
Mike,
Good questions.
1) The “WILLYS” stamps disappeared as part of the 1963 transition to Kaiser-Jeep. So, a 1962 with an original body would be expected to have WILLYS stamped on the grille, hood, and body.
2) Yes, the fresh air vent began appearing in 1959.
3) The wiper motor mod is something I’ve usually seen on the driver’s side, not the passenger side. But, imagine it works as well there.
My guess is that this tub and hood are not original to the body (replacement or earlier tub). Or, the year is incorrect.
