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 .

This runs. It has a winch. And contrary to what the seller says, this doesn’t have a 3A tub.
“1950 3A tub with 3B hood and grill. Has a straight 6 that runs. 8000lb ramsey winch with remote lead. Clear title.”
No pics provided.

It hasn’t run in 25 years, but there might be some value here.
“This is a complete 1953 Willy’s CJ3B. I bought it intending to restore it, but never got to it. It has all original differentials, transfer case transmission and engine. The differentials and transfer case are in good order. The engine ran 25 years ago when someone last drove the vehicle. The top of the transmission had been removed and the inside is very rusted. Likely the transmission needs replaced. The body is pretty good. The back part of the tub where the back seat sits is rusted. There is surface rust in other places. The vehicle is rough, but restorable, and almost all there.
Asking 1200.00 or best offer. Might consider a trade, but would prefer cash.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was priced at $3900
(07/29/2013) The sides panels have been replaced, so this likely had rust at one time. It looks solid from a distance.

“Decent tub fairly solid and all there. Would be good for a wheeler or even to fix up. It is a cj3b high hood.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1200
(09/16/2013) The engine is stuck. I’m not sure if this means it is frozen or just not working.

There might be some parts value given the intact drive train.

(06/28/2013) This has had some body work done around the sides. Notice how they extend lower than the step.
“Have a clean and clear NC title. Some expenses have come up and need cash ASAP.
95% restored. All parts bought from Kaiser-Willys. I have all the receipts.
Everything works. To make it 100% need a new wiring harness.
History:
I bought this from Tennessee 4 months ago (Jeep in blue). Cleaned up all the holes and random gauges that were put on over the years. I loved the high hood cj3b. Lots of work has been done after I bought it, too many to list. See the pictures. I have lots of pictures from the restoration.
Serious buyers please. I don’t have truck to deliver it anywhere. Cash only.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
It looks like this was painted with the hood down. It looks like it has a repro body that’s in good shape.
“1953 Willys Jeep CJ-3B – FOR SALE
Greetings everyone. Back in the late 90’s, my father purchased an old run-down Jeep for him and his 15 year old son (me) to restore. After about 3 weeks in, we both realized that we were in over our heads and my dad paid a professional to restore the Jeep from the frame up. Since the initial restoration, the Jeep has been kept in a garage 24/7 with only minimal use. It’s been taken out and ran through the mud several times in my late teens/early twenties, but for the most part, it’s sat unused. My pop’s been gone for several years now and it’s time for me to sell the ol’ gal to someone who will put her to some use. He bought it so we’d have something to work on together and now that I have kids of my own, I’d like to do the same thing.
Is that a Navy plate next to the data plate?
