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 .
Doesn’t run at the moment. I doubt this is an ‘easy’ restoration.

“Rare 1953 Willys “Farm Jeep” CJ3B. Hurricane F head 4 cylinder, 3 speed manual , 2 sped transfer case, PTO, snow plow. It is not currently running, the engine is locked up, but has been full of anti freeze. I have the head removed to see the cylinders.
This is the real deal, 10 leaf springs, PTO, plow etc….even has the factory blue paint under the hood, and on the inside of the grill opening. The rear tub has been replaced years ago with a correct fiberglass unit. It has almost every original component, including the original rear hitch. Its not perfect…
This was a family members vehicle, that passed, and I am not going to give it away-if you are seriously interested, contact me.
Thank you…….

(12/08/2012) There are some good detail shots of the rebuild.
“For sale is my 1954 Jeep Willys CJ3B. This Jeep was bought about 3 years ago and was used as a restoration project ( as you can see from the pictures ). Engine runs excellent. 4×4 was rebuilt, including the transmission and transfer case. The engine has a new starter, coil, spark plugs, rotor and cap, wires, and a rebuilt carburator. A new custom exhaust was installed by a local professional. The Jeep has brand new shocks, brakes, brake master cylinder, wheel bearings, new steering shock and also it was recently fully aligned. The Jeep starts perfectly, and drives like all other jeeps. It was fully restored, including the break down of all body panels, fully sandblasted, rust prevention spray, 3 coats of primer, and then the final original paint color. All dash gauges and lights work, and the dash includes the original Jeep Willys 4×4 instruction plate. It has a Ramsey Winch on the front, which is controlled by a remote from inside and outside of the Jeep. As you can see in the pictures, there is an electric hookup for towing the jeep that allows the jeep’s lights to be used in towing. Since restoration, my CJ3B has been garage kept and only driven for enjoyment on the streets. This Jeep is perfect for anyone who is looking for a exceptionally unique Willys which is in perfect mechanical and physical shape, that can add upgrades to increase their enjoyment.”
This appears to be in good shape.

“59 Willys in overall great shape for the year. I got it in 2006 from a guy that last ran it in 1972. It sat in his garage for 33 years. I replaced the following parts with quality brands such as Omix-ADA , Wagner, timken, federal mogul, four wheel parts hardware, quadratech, ect.
New fuel tank, fuel lines, pump, carb, master brake cylinder, 4 wheel brake cylinders, shoes, spring kits, brake lines, drums, seals in front and rear diffs, tapered bearings on ball joints, rebuilt engine, clutch and pressure plate, high volume oil pump, water pump, points, plugs, coil. Ive Gone through everything mechanically. Just needs some bodywork, I havent done any body work, it was fiberglassed in the front floor pan area back in 70’s spare tire mount area on passenger side rear quarter panel. Body isnt that bad. I have used the jeep since 2007 putting on maybe 500-1000 miles per year. Could use rear springs, as there stock and have flattened out a little. Frame is excellent and painted black from years ago. Ive got thousands into the jeep, your getting a lot of jeep for $2500”

No pics, but includes an overdrive. It’s worth a look.
“I have a jeep that needs a home where someone will give it the attention it deserves. It has the original motor , 12volt, still has the foot switch starter, Warn overdrive. This is a fun jeep , you could fix it up or keep it as is. Great project. Hasent been registered in a couple years , you would be responsible for that. Sorry no pictures its kind of buried in my garage.
