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 $3500
“1956 Military Jeep 1958 Willys 1/4 Ton Jeep metal cab. Asking $3500 O.B.O. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800.
This looks in reasonable condition. I do wonder what gun fighter shot a hole in the hood of this poor, defenseless jeep.

F-head 4-cylinder , 12 volt factory system , all new bulbs. heater works great , seats are very nice , no rips or split seams. It has character , runs great , no smoke.

It’s a nice looking rig & trailer.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $2500
(10/16/09) I suspect this is a little rougher than the seller suggests. I’m not sure if it runs or not.
“All original ,4wheel drive, only thing it needs mechanically is some engine wiring. Would be a nice project for anyone who’s into antiques or 4 wheel drives. Makes a great off-road jeep! Asking $2500 obo, hate to sell it, but we’re moving and can’t take it with us. Might also be willing to trade for dependable 4door car or extended cab truck. Call 913-269-9801 -Jason”
It looks like there is $450 worth of parts on this jeep. It even runs!
“1955 Willys Jeep project or for parts – it has a sears roebuck upper body, 4 cylinder standard, does run but needs work. $450 or close offer, must be sold by Sunday 4/11. It’s not nice but it’s 55 years old and parts are getting harder to find. I hate to cut it up for scrap metal but I need it gone. Comes with bill of sale only.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000
ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK THE VIN … THIS WAS A FUN ONE: The seller noted on ebay that this is a ’57, but it has the older, pre’57 dash. That raised a flag. So, I looked closely at the VIN: The first set of numbers are 55268 instead of 453 GB2. That VIN actually belongs to a 1956 Pickup Truck 6 cyl (226 ci) with 4wd with a serial number of 33836. See this service bulletin for the details.
“Very original Willys CJ3B. No body lift, original 4cyl engine, manual lockers on front, 3 speed trans. Color is Red, original upolstry in great shape and this has rear bench seat. Tool box under passenger seat. 4 good tires – spare is for decoration. Has AM/FM cassette and Jensen speakers under dash on firewall. Top is serviceable. No Bondo.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
Unusual paint job with the corner accents.
“Restored 1953 CJ3B Willys. New brakes all the way around, new muffler system, extra NDTmilitary tires, new mud tires on vehicle and new navy gray leather seats in front and back. Vehicle is painted in navy gray. Tire chains come with vehicle. Lots of extra’s included.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5900
(03/10/09) Here’s a great looking CJ-3B. I’d like to see some more pics of it.
“Willys Jeep CJ-3B , Rebuilt Original 4 cylinder Drivetrain, Original 6 volt elec. System. Added 6 volt electric fuel pump. many new parts and new tires. It’s been in my family for over 40 years. 37,000 Miles, always kept indoors. My Mechanic says it needs to be driven more and I don’t have the time anymore for play. Email any questions you may have by replying or leave a phone number. I believe this is an ideal candidate for a total restoration to its original military appearance, which would at the least double it’s value, by ebay research.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
This looks like it’s in pretty good condition. It looks like the tailgate has been covered.
“1957 Willys Jeep CJ3B, 4 wheel drive, Hi-Lo-transfer case, Willys 4 cyl engine, 3 speed transmission. Runs and drives great. I have used it for the past 7 years and rebuilt most of the mechanicals. 8000# electric winch, tow bar, ready to hunt or go to the ranch. $4000.00 OBO”

“Well sought after 1954 Willys 3B Jeep, in excellent condition, with winch and soft top which is in great condition. Please see photos, I also have a video of the Jeep please email me if you are interested.”
Nice looking CJ-3B.
“My 1962 semi-restored CJ-3B has a Kelly cab and Western plow. I have had this as a plow truck for a while and in 2002 I sent it off to ‘summer camp’ to get the minor body work done and new paint.

UPDATE: Breatt reports this CJ-3B Sold. I’ll keep this post around just to give people faith that there are still great deals out there!!
It was available for $1700. It runs, it has on Overdrive, it is straight. This won’t last the weekend. It does have an L-head rather than an F-head though. Kudos to Brett for spotting this one! If I had a trailer, I would have left tonight to go get this myself. Oh, this one’s painful ….
“This Jeep runs fairly well. Original motor and drive train. It has been driven 4 or 5 times a year for the past 10 years. $1700.00 OBO.”
**SOLD**
Jim’s wife spotted this CJ-3B and sent him the link (Jim suspects she wants another car .. those sneaky women!). This looks pretty solid and stock, though it has some rust that rims the edges.
“This is a rare 1964 CJ3B”tall hood” Jeep. It came from Texas so very little rust. Has factory hard top. Starts and runs great, even stops good. $3500.00″
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500
(10/21/09) Here’s a pretty stock CJ-3B.
“This old Willys was origjnally owned by the city of Templeton, IA. I bought it about a year ago from a farmer who used it just around the farm, mostly to give his kids and grand kids rides off road. It started and ran when I got it, but was not dependable, reliable or street legal. I’ve done a lot of work (documented) to this old Willys here in my shop to make it safe, reliable, dependable, legal and most of all fun. The 6 bolt system and all of the original wiring has been replaced with a complete 12 volt system with custom wiring throughout. It has dual tail lights with license light, park lights, turn signals with dash indicator and working self cancel, horn, 2 speed custom (CJ5 parts) wipers, 2 speed custom heater blower motor with defrost tube, interior lights and a 12 volt power receptacle under the dash for what ever ( I use it to plug in my phone). The original seats have been replaced with new cloth covered seat assemblies from Vanderhaag truck parts. The passenger seat has been adapted to fit the flip seat bracket to allow access to the floor mounted tool box. Seat belts are a set of dated Simpsons out of my old race car. The rear facing functional flip fold CJ5 back seat sits atop a custom built frame and has retractable seat belts for 2 out of an old K5 Blazer. The top is in excellent condition. I put it on new last year. The 4×4 works excellent. In LOW LOW this unit will go just about anywhere. I’ve had it off road in the mud, snow, dirt, sand, up and down hills and then right out onto the road and headed for home. There’s been alot more done to this old Willys, including rebuilt park brake, new fuel tank and sender, belt, hoses, wires, plugs, carb rebuilt, custom installed CJ5 roll bar, etc, etc, etc. It’s not beautiful.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(01/27/10) This appears in good condition and appears very stock.
“Great condition,runs great,Breaks need work.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(11/17/09) Here’s a CJ-3B that looks in good shape, though the exterior has been painted with a bed liner.
“For sale is an excellent condition 1953 Cj3b. I purchased the jeep in Kalispell, Montana in 2000. Since then, it has made several moves around the country and finally wound up here in Bend, Oregon. I kept the jeep in its original terrible condition for seven long years and would receive the half-hearted thumbs-up at stoplights. Now it turns heads everywhere it goes. The jeep has a bad history of turning a 10 minute trip to the store into a two hour discussion with an oldtimer who used to farm his property with this same model. Everywhere you drive, expect to stop and talk. We have even been pulled over by the state police, not because we were speeding (that’s impossible except for in school zones) but because he was curious to find out what was under the hood; having never seen the Willy’s high-hood before….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** A reader purchased this CJ-3B. It turns out it had a dual stick PTO in it. The new owner is very pleased 🙂
A $1000 CJ-3B that runs … I don’t see that very often.
“1954 willys cj3b with half cab. engine and running gear good condition needs fuel tank and carb. body has lots of rust, good project clear title. if interested and for more information call 719-686-8834. $1000.00.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3900
(10/09/09) “Up for auction is this 1956 Willys CJ3B. This Jeep is in great shape with nearly no rust and mechanically sound. It does have its typically willys seal leaks, but very little. This Jeep was bought about a year ago and, have been working on it little by little to get it to where it is today. I run around town locally in it, take the kids around and use it as a great conversation piece at car shows. If I go to one next time it may win. I have gone as far as I want to go in the restore, it’s time for someone else look after this piece of American history. This Jeep has many new parts and all steering, brakes, transmission, 4X4 and engine work very, very well. This jeep will only run at about 45 miles an hour, but this little one will climb anything. I am selling this Jeep locally and have the right to stop the auction at anytime. I accept cash, PayPal or check, but I will have to go to a local bank with you to verify funds. This Jeep does not have a title as it is not required in Georgia for older vehicles.”
UPDATE: The seller has added a trailer into the deal
(01/09/09) It looks like there might be some rust on the driver’s side, but hard to tell for sure from the pic.
“

(12/09/09) This looks in good condition. I’ll be heading down to Salt Lake (ogden is right on the way) in about 10 days and could look at it if it is still available.
1960 Willys CJ3B – 35K Original miles in Excellent Condition with All Original Running Gear. Frame and body are in exceptional condition, there is very little cancer. Has New Interior & Paint. Needs a top, new tires, and a tune up.From the looks of the vehicle the mileage which shows 40K is original and I think many are miles towed. There is very little rust in the front floors but it has plates bolted in, none in the bed. There is also some in the front fender supports. I don’t thinkit was preped to well butit is a decent paint job. It hasbeen converted to 12 volt. There is no overdrive but the tans and transfercase seem tight and do stay in gear. the seats are he original frames but have been recovered (I believe). It has original warn lockout hubs. The hard top was taken upto eugene and it is an original aluminum hardtop,I maybe able to get pictures.
That’s one tall roll bar.
