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 .
The body looks to be a replacement body.

(10/23/2013) Here’s a 3B that won’t last long.

(10/21/2013) This certainly looks parade ready, but calling it ‘show room’ condition seems a stretch.

(09/13/2013) It’s got some rust.
“Don’t know the year and has no title. Was running great in 1986, and has been stored under cover or in a barn since then. Has some body rust, but only minor surface rust on frame and drivetrain. Trans. won’t go in gear, but transfer case seems to shift normal. Motor turns over but has no spark. I just sold the property where this was stored and loaded it onto one of my trucks so I would like to go ahead and get this sold (it is outside now). Local delivery may be possible.”
Here’s a nicely modified 3B. I will be in Seattle this weekend.
“Built for hunting & summer fun. This Willy’s has been together a long time, old school built. Buick V-6, T-90 tranny, T-18 twin stick transfer case.
Dana 44 rear end with Detroit locker with Summer Brother axels. The front has a tru-trac locker. Both 538 gears, Excellent tires and wheels. Swampers 33×12.50, Warn 8274 wench, full cage, tilt wheel. List goes on.
This Willy’s is very well maintained. Adult owned and driven. I also tow bar for flat towing. Just like any other Jeep comes with extra parts. These pictures were taken two weeks ago and the wench and tires do go with the Jeep. This Jeep is not apart in my garage. This is a turn key Willy’s.
Thanks for your time.

This might be worth a look.
“This was rebuilt about 20 years ago and has been kept in a garage. My father-in-law used to run it around the neighborhood for fun. Front tires are dry rotted and the brakes need work. Engine runs great and the rest is in good mechanical state. Has some rust spots and will need some work. Call 412-655-9793.”

Seller is trying to get it running. It has no title.
“Probably a 50’s Willys CJ3B
Has been in the family for decades, but has been in barn for maybe 20 years.
Still 6 volt. Transfer case seems to shift normally, but the transmission appears to be stuck in a gear. Has fat ag. tires on it, plus 4 original rims. No seats. Like I said, it’s a barn find; as-is where is. Price is negotiable.
No title.
I tried to turn the motor with a wrench and it wiggled, so I took out the plugs and put some oil in the cylinders and tightened the fan belt. It rotates easily just by turning the fan! I put a charger on the 18 year old battery and found that the solenoid works and the starter turns, but it is not engaging as of yet. May take a new battery or the starter may need to be lubed up a little. The Jeep is now on a truck at my house in Coinjock and will be heading to Richmond within another week if not sold. I still do not actually have time to tinker with this, but as I do the price goes up! If I get it running it will go up to $3500, right now I popped it up to $2000. These are getting very collectible, and though this one has some rust on the body, it has not been abused like so many jeeps of the past.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
“I have a 1953 Jeep CJ3B with the original F-head motor, T-90 transmission, and Dana 18 T-case. Newly rebuilt solex carburetor, new plugs, and cleaned pcv valve and tubing. Motor runs great and starts easy. Transmission is smooth as is 4WD. Has full Koenig hard top and doors with all glass. The drivers side fender and area around the spare tire carrier are the only bad parts in the body. No rust I can find anywhere on the frame or body. Replaced all 4 shackles. New fuel tank, fuel lines, and brake lines. Replaced parking brake cable and works great. Needs front brake parts inside drum only. Back brakes are fine and would stop the Jeep before I removed the master cylinder which is still out but works. Front tires are brand new, needs 2 back tires but still hold air. Still have original oil bath filter and few misc other parts that I will load up with it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on ebay.
This was sold in Phoenix in 2012. Now it’s for sale in Florida on eBay. The new seller is using the pictures from the previous eBay listing.
Flat fender high hood Jeep. This is a rust-free original Arizona Jeep, purchased new by the state of Arizona for use by Salt River Project Power and Water. The Jeep still has the original windshield with the SRP decal still intact. It was purchased from SRP surplus by a retired employee in the mid 80’s and has spent the last 25 years on his ranch in northern AZ, before being purchased and fully restored. Has original OHC 4-cylinder Willys Hurricane engine, 3-speed manual transmission and 4-wheel drive. Full frame-on cosmetic restoration was just completed including fully disassembling down to the bare tub, sandblasting and re-assembly. The Jeep was totally rust-free to start with, so there is very little filler and no patch panels. Engine was fully resealed and detailed to showroom condition. The complete suspension and braking system was rebuilt and upgraded to 11″ brakes from a later CJ5. Brand new wiring harness, starter, generator and regulator have been installed and tested. This Jeep has painstakingly been re-outfitted with all the correct original details down to the canvas straps, jerry can and shovel and axe mounted on the tub. Vacuum operated windshield wipers were added and all new handmade lines run. Also, the original period correct Motorola two-way radio used by SRP is still installed. Five new Firestone OE spec tires were installed to finish off this authentic and rare CJ3B.
It’s rough. No title.

This looks like an interesting project. It does not include a motor. I suspect the running gear has been updated.
