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: **Status Unknown** Was ‘For Trade’.

“THE STEEL TOP AND TOW BAR DO NOT GO !
I have a CJ-3b that my son started restoring. It is all there except the fuel tank was bad. The wires are all in the buckets and chassis was running and driving when the body was taken off about a year ago. The tub had some rust so we got another one that is mostly rust free. This is a great one to restore I just have too many projects.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(01/06/2014) Does not run.

(01/09/2014) This jeep appears in the Miami Craigslist, but is actually located (as noted in the ad) in Honduras. Given the large speedometer, I suspect it is later than a ’53.
“WILL JEEP 53′ 4X4
Color : Red
Interior : Black leather
Motor : Hurricane 2.2L 75hp
Torque : 114 pd Force-feet
Tires : All Terrain Comanche
Rim : 15 inch
Fuel type : Gasoline
This Willy Jeep is in great running conditions engine like new. The only problem this car is NOT in the US. Buyer will need to arrange on how to ship from South America (Honduras).
Serious Inquiries Only
I am the owner of the vehicle son and I live in Miami,Fl
For any further questions feel free to contact me.
Thank you
Jose”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2550
(06/05/2013) That 3A has an odd front bumper. Note how far back it extends.
“this is for a willys jeep project,it is a 1953 CJ3A with a good running 283 Chevy V-8 engine and no body. The other is a 1957 CJ3B good body with roll cage.. The two pieces would make a great jeep with plenty of power and low end torque as it has 538 gears. Title for the 1957 body is available as I have the vin plate and registration but no title, bill of sale only. I have a refurbished under the seat gas tank and a rear 6 gallon unused gas tank to go with it and a good windshield. I also have used front disc brakes for an additional $175.the title can be gotten for an additional $300.00 extra or through the lost title process.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
(11/15/2010) This might be pretty solid. It has a few mods.
“All original running, motor a 327 Chevy. Runs great. All 4wheel drive.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
This is likely a mix of parts.
“Registration says 46 ford willys hood grill windshield have been changed I have the original square corner windshield frame one if the hinged headlights extra t case and trans as well as a other set of axles has flat head and 3 three speed trans.has no rust in the tub for sale or trade price is firm”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was for trade.
This appears solid.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500
Bumper has been updated, but otherwise looks good.
“1952 willys cj3b high hood NO RUST very straight 4500”
I can’t say I’ve ever seen “Cottonpicken Chickenpickers“. It’s a 1967 movie that features a CJ-3B in at least one scene.
“Cottonpicken Chickenpickers ’67 MAX SLAPSIE MAXIE ROSENBLOOM ARMY JEEP
This vintage original still shows a VERY RARE photo of (from left to right) MAX SLAPSY MAXIE ROSENBLOOM in an ARMY JEEP, DEL REEVES and HUGH X LEWIS.

This is listed as a 1942 Ford, but I don’t see either ‘1942’ nor ‘Ford’ anywhere. I like the rims.
“Engine went bad a few years back good running gear no rust in the tub great builder have many spare parts to go with it
Pair of front and rear axles
Transmissions and transfer cases

UPDATE: No Price. Was listed at $875 in 2010.

Looks like there are lots of parts there.
“I have a willys cj3b for sale for my dad. No title . Has been used for a woods jeep for years and hasn’t been run in several years. Motor is believed to seized up, all parts are there. Body is complete but rusty, tires and wheels have been changed since pictures were taken and it will roll around easily now. Once again it is being sold as is non running and needs to be trailered.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
(10/16/2013) Looks like it could be transformed back to stock.

TJ relayed this story of his missing CJ-3B.
He writes, “So I have a scam, of sorts, to post. I had a beautiful 53 3B, 90% restored. Last major piece was an overhaul. I met a mechanic: Joe Jump here in Seattle, his references checked out and he towed the Jeep to his ‘garage’. Long story short, the guy is a meth addict and convicted car thief. So he has my Jeep probably somewhere between Seattle and Portland. My wife and I have been watching craigslist religiously with no luck. He has had the Jeep since mid August.”
So, if anyone sees this jeep, please let TJ (tj_wylie@yahoo.com) or I know. Here are a couple pics of it.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
This looks solid, though the paint is a little rough on the passenger side.
“63′ CJ3B runs great 8000# ramsey winch, new brakes,lines,axle bearings, seals, valve job. everthing works”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
“1953 JEEP CJ3B Barn find, no title, body is decent, has a full metal top and doors. Engine is apart, needs rebuilt. We have a1960s Chevy 4 cylinder that will go with the JEEP, also have a set of 1960s JEEP axels with 3:73 gears to go with it. Must sell ASAP, loosing our storage space!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
(11/03/2013) This might be worth a look.
“Have a complete 1953 Cj3b. Not running and hasn’t for over 20 years. It does roll though!. Good for parts, tub is pretty rusted out.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
(10/01/2013) There might be value here.
“I have a 1964 Willys CJ3B, with almost everything minus the body tub. I have the original engine, transmission, twin stick transfer case, frame, axles, steering, suspension, grille, windshield frame(with glass), two custom doors and a custom top that will fit a direct replacement tub. This is basically everything you need to have this thing back together and running good minus the body tub. i’ve found several places that sell fiberglass tubs with pre cut/drilled holes for everything, for around $3000. i’ve also found brand new steel tubs for much cheaper. this is a project that i inherited from my neighbor, recently i’ve realized i don’t have the time or money to finish this project. Frame is in great shape and very solid. i also have a tow bar for it.”
