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: **SOLD** Was $17,750
(02/01/2013) Here’s a nice looking CJ-3B that’s listed as a 1947 CJ-3.
“1947 CJ3 Willy’s
Buick V-6 engine
Power Steering
3-speed transmission hi lo range
slecto lock out hubs
heavy duty tow bar
warn winch model 8274, 8000 lbs
spare tire mounted on rear
seat belts front and back”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was priced at $2500.
The body needs work and it is running off a temporary tank in the back.
“Willys CJ3B High hood Jeep. This jeep has some trail rash and rust, but it is still pretty solid. The engine runs great, the four wheel drive works great, and the breaks work (brand new Master Cyl.) It would make a perfect trail jeep or a good solid place to start a resteration. I have the title in hand. First come, first serve! It will sell fast at $2,500 OBO Trailer not included or for sale.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(12/26/2012) The seller lists this a s a 1946, so it could be a collection of parts.
“This is a 1956 Willys CJ3B. I have just installed a new carb and fuel pump. It does run and idle smoothly, but the plug wires, cap, etc need to be addressed.
Drivetrain: The drivetrain is complete and the transmission, transfer case, and axles are operational. The clutch does need adjustment.
Body: The body has some rust but would be a great project to repair while you use it. Almost all of the sheetmetal that needs repair is flat sheet, so only basic skills would be necessary to repair. I have two different hard tops and one set of doors. I am unsure of the manufacturer.
Brakes: The master cylinder has water in it, so the brakes will need to be gone through
Suspension: The front springs are sagging.
If you want this shipped you will need to arrange your own carrier. I have a loading dock available if needed and the Willys can be driven onto a trailer. There are no titles for vehicles this old in Alabama. It will come with a bill of sale only. NO TITLE! The Bronco buckets are not included and the top of the fuel tank needs repair.”
No pics of the CJ-3B. There could be other jeeps. The seller has other vehicles for sale, too.
“Selling for my boss- 1961 Jeep FC-170. Very rare vehicle. This was origianlly used as a runway vehicle at a local airport. It needs love, but is 99% complete.

“VERY NICE WILLYS JEEP CJ3B WITH 52200 MILES ORIG.ARIZONA/NEVADA JEEP SOLID,NO APPRECIABLE RUST. 3SPD, HIGH/LOW RANGE TRANSFER CASE 4WD.

No title, but it runs.
“I am selling a 1954 willys jeep that I currently use on my deer camp. This is a great all terrain vehicle and runs well. Recently I have noticed there is a leak in the transfer case so that does have to be fixed on the jeep. I am asking 1400 OBO. I only have a bill of sale not the title. It will run if you want to put it on a trailer. Only thing it needs is the transfer case needs to be resealed. I will meet in either Graham or Jacksboro to deliver the jeep. Please call if you have any questions about the jeep.”

“The elderly man we purchased the Jeep from said he purchased it new . The title had a date of 1978 , we suspect the state may have made one update the titles when they changed their system . In fact when we went to change ownership , it took the state two months to locate the paper work required . I have a copy of the 78 title . The vehicle runs and drives , though it will require a thorough going over . I cannot see any rust holes in the floor boards , there are a few spots that are rusted through in the rear body panel where dirt has collected . A New Mexico car from new is my understanding . It has typical surface rust . Someone did change the color from Green to Red on the outside . You buy the red Jeep , the white Jeep is free along with the extra engine sitting in the bed of white Jeep . No title with white Jeep . Contact me with your number and the best time to call .”
