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 .
A project.
“Willys Jeep CJ3B with a retro fitted V8. Runs when put together. Was in the processes of an overhaul and don’t have time to finish it. Also have $600 of yellow car paint that I would throw in if you want.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3600
It doesn’t run currently.
“1961 Willys CJ3b (high hood) civilian model. Needs carb rebuild, otherwise ran good until a year ago.”
It doesn’t run and has some rust.
“I am selling my 1956 willys cj3b. It is fairly straight for a willys it has rust but not as bad as most. The majority if the rust is in the floor pans. It has a a hardtop which is very rare to find for a willys I do not have the doors for the hardtop. The hardtop is in very good condition. The motor is not locked up I messed with it earlier this year an had it running on starting fluid. I do not have a title for it because it came from kansas but u can give a bill if sale. I am asking 1200.00 obo.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,000.
There are a few minor things needing repair.
“Never hought I would do this but my 1953 Willys Jeep CJ-3B is for sale. Solid original Jeep from central Florida, not the rusted out junk you usually see. I bought this when I lived in FL in 1991 and drove it all over there. In fact, the in-plant parking sticker from Tropicana is still on the front bumper. Drove it for 2 or three years before moving north again and have not driven it on the road since, just around my last two places in the woods. It has an Indiana title. Still has the 6-volt system and original gauges, etc. The front seats were re-upholstered in a dark burgundy very high quality vinyl with new foam. I still have the very rare rear seat in the original color but can direct you to the place that did the front seats. It needs some detail things taken care of but nothing major and it is not some POS rat trap. Just things like the tail light lens is broken, speedo cable broke three or four years ago when I went out in the bad ice storm in front of the house to help get cars over the hill, wiper is not connected and stuff like that.
This was the first year for the engine, which is the F Head with the overhead valves on the intake and in block exhaust valves. I believe it was used in the CJ5 until 1965. Parts are not a problem. “
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3000.
(06/06/2014) It runs and drives. Not too far from me.
“1953 Willy’s. Has all the original parts. The original, F head 134 motor has been rebuilt and runs good. All original drivetrain. IT RUNS AND DRIVES !!! Needs paint but, you can still see the original traces of the air force blue. Perfect for a restoration into a ww2/korea army jeep. Ihave all the original parts that have been replaced in the photos.”

UPDATE: **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
Runs, but several items aren’t hooked up (like the heater and parking brake).
“1954 4×4 Willys Flatside jeep.Runs great!$4000 OBO”
UPDATE: Was $6000. **SOLD**
Those are some tall tires.
“59 willy cj3b 302 motor 38 tires , will trade for car or motorcycle”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $100.
The hood and hubs alone look to have value.
“Old Willys Jeep :)”
This looks good.
“Restored jeep cj3b. Almost everything newly redone. Original 4 cylinder engine runs great! Only driven in summer when weather and roads are good. $7,000. I have the original hardtop that it came with all doors etc., but those have not been redone”
http://fairbanks.craigslist.org/cto/4510907327.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
The hood has some unusual louving.
“53-64 willy’s 3B high hood, includes frame (needs work), grill, tailgate, windshield frame, hood. All but the grill have been sandblasted.”
No pics provided.
“I have a pair of (2) Willys Jeep CJ3B’s. I have clear MN titles for both of them including up to date license plates on both of them. One runs and drives nice, has the F head 4 cylinder motor that purrs like a kitten. 3 speed manual transmission shifts nice and both high and low four wheel drive works nice. I installed a brand new brake master cylinder and new brake lines last Fall. Wheel cylinders should be replaced. Changed oil and filter and gear lube in both front and rear differentials as well as transmission and transfer case gear lube. Tires all hold air. Body is rough but repairable. Rear crossmember will need to be replaced. Frame appears to be solid. Other jeep has the Buick Dauntless V6 motor that does fire on spray gas but I have not had time to get it running. This motor has Offenhauser intake manifold with 4 barrel carb and exhaust headers. Frame is really nice. Body has had some patch work done at one time but is in much better shape then body on first jeep. I am asking $3200 for a package deal. I prefer to sell them as a pair and I feel the buyer would be happy to get them as a pair to build one nice Jeep. Tires are in good shape on number 2 Jeep.”
It’s a project.
“1953 CJ3B project. 350 Chevy SB. New hubs and springs. 410 gearing. Started project years ago and lost interest. Extra trans, transfer, axles and misc parts. Have title.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3900.
Don noted that this was for sale in March and included a plow. The plow has been removed and now the jeep is up for sale again.
This has a newer motor. It runs and drives.
“1953 Willys Jeep CJ3B Has 2.3L Ford 4cyl engine swap. Well done swap, runs smooth and is very reliable. Has new plugs, wires, air and oil filters. Engine is mated to the stock 3spd manual tranny and transfer case. Power steering was added as well as a tilt steering column. 4wd works very well and has brand new lockouts.
The entire frame has been boxed and is extremely solid. Entire chassis was painted when disassembled. Has new front and rear leafsprings and hardware. This Jeep is very tight and goes down the road straight. Tires are in excellent shape.
All the gauges work as well as the high/low beam headlights and rear turn signals/brake lights. Has a functioning heater as well as a working windshield wiper
This appears worth a look.
“1951 Willy’s Jeep, Flat fender, run very well, V-6 new transfer case, 4 wheel drive works, starts and runs every day.”

This jeep is capable of carrying a lot!
“Awesome deer lease Jeep! I bought this instead of a UTV.
Lots of work done to this. Parts widely available. Easy to work on.
Runs like a dream. This is ready to go hunting today. It’s registered as an antique vehicle and could be street legal (not safe) in a day.
All 3 of my kids learned to drive a standard on this and work on it including my 14 year old daughter.
I don’t want to sell but am being forced to clear out the toys due to finances.”

Both are pretty rough.
“I have a 53 willys flat fender with the original 4 cyl has a winch on the front also outer body is fair floors have been plated not a good job also have a 59 willys cj for parts as frame os bad same tranny and motor and divetrain”
I believe this runs. It has a military passenger fender. It’s got a nice cage. And it has an overdrive. It’s worth a look for sure. Not a great description.
“Run 3speed”

(05/30/2014) Looks like a good project.
