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** Were $2000.
Someone in Puerto Rico ought to be interested in these. There are some good parts.

(08/15/2012) Take a close look at the pics of this. It’s unusual. I like the body work on the hood which more tightly fits the old mb/gpw grille. It appears to be a CJ-3B body. I’ll bet completed this might look good.
“1948 CJ3B Custom Off Road Body(solid) Built like a tank!!The back corner of the frame is bad but can be welded. The rest of the frame is fine. 255 Buick V-6 Motor. Runs and drives. Been sitting for 2 years but all body work is done. Just needs paint. I hate to part with it. No time to fix it. Needs to be put back together. $3000 or trade o/b/o.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5999
(11/04/2012) Randy took a look at this and forwarded some good pics. This has some unusual features, including a custom cowl vent and a passenger side vent.”http://boise.craigslist.org/ctd/3598295819.html

This is a project.
“1955 willys jeep extra set of axles newer motor,trans,transfer case. Also have extra buick v-6. lots of parts. 1800.00 for everything.”
It runs, but appears to need work.
“1954 Jeep CJ3B. Complete and original. Missing windshield and has added roll bar. Runs but needs TLC and work. This Jeep was used for off-road hunting and farm use. It can be used the same way with verry little work and money. This could be a fun easy project. I already have 2 other jeeps that I use that way and don’t have the time to work on another. I do not have a title but the VIN tag is still on the fire wall. I will sell with a Bill of Sale.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500
(12/11/2012) This looks in good shape. I’m not sure whether that jeep or a jeep just like it was featured in Hemmings.
“1954 WILLYS CJ3B ASSEMBLED IN BOMBAY BY MAHINDRA AND MAHINDRA. THIS JEEP IS RHD AND IS VERY RARE. THIS EXACT CAR WAS FEATURED IN A 4 PAGE ARTICLE IN HEMMINGS MAGAZINE.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
This might be a good price.
“1953 Jeep Willys CJ-3B
Jeep has been gone through, engine rebuilt, in good condition, still needs a couple of things to finish. 3000 or best offer.”
For $3900 this is worth a look.

The side of this looks patched (with aluminum maybe?).
“1953 willys jeep. Body in decent shape, there is surface rust. Has not ran since early 80’s. But when it was parked it did run great. It comes with a plow. everything is original and if interested there are extra original tires. The soft top is worn but works. Would be a great project to restore or use for a plow truck. It only has 17,000 miles on it.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** was $6500.
This was listed in Las Vegas, but is located in Michigan. I suspect it is a real ad.
“Selling my 1961 Willys Jeep CJ3B. Restored three years ago. Located in Michigan. Email if interested. Thanks”
UPDATE: Was $850. **SOLD**
This used to be an airport jeep.
“Originally owned by Kent County Airport.

(04/15/2012) This looks solid.

(10/25/2012) This has got a problem hole in the floor . . .

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6800.
This looks like a solid rig.
“I have a 1954 Willys Jeep! This Jeep has had the entire Chevy small block 350 rebuilt.
Brand new tires and rims. This Jeep is a hard one to find! Most of the work is done. The body is very straight and no rust!! This Jeep would make an excellent Rock crawler, Hunting machine, or an everyday driver. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2795.
(01/10/2013) This needs brakes. It’s listed as a 1968, but the dash suggests this is a pre 1956 model.
“CJ3B I AM NOT SURE OF THE YEAR, JEEP HAS HAD A FRAME ON RESTO. THIS IS A DRIVER NOT A SHOW JEEP. MOTOR RUNS STRONG ALL GEARS WORK HIGH AND LOW.
I REPLACED MOST OF THE BAD BODY PARTS. THE TIRES HAVE NEW TUBES BUT ARE OLD. THEY WILL WORK FINE FOR OFF ROAD USE. JEEP DOES NOT HAVE BRAKES I STOPED WORKING ON IT TO BE ABLE TO SELL AT LOW PRICE. YOU WILL NEED TO TRAILER. NO TEX MESSAGES I AM TOO OLD FOR TEXING”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
This 3B appears to have a replacement body that’s in good shape. Someone poked the steering column through, rather than under, the dash.
“1953 WILLYS HIGH HOOD JEEP. 4.3 litre chevy V-6 motor. like new rubber, close ratio 4 speed trans. runs excellent and looks great too. $ 8000 / offer may also do trades for equal value vehicles or part trade and cash differance ”
