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 .
It’s not stock and has a few changes, but looks solid.

UPDATE: Still Available
(08/08/2012) This has a fiberglass body. I don’t understand chopping the windshield though.
“So I always wanted to build a Crawler / Trail Jeep using the best Willys stuff and a few choice Chevy parts. I started with an M38A1 1/4 ton military Jeep frame. I chose this frame because its boxed and shackle reversed from the factory for the best offroad performance. I retained the original 5:38 ratio gears in the model 44 rear/model 25 front axels. They are mounted with a full spring over axel system, including adjustable anti-wrap link on diff. A Saginaw power steering system helps turn the Goodyear MTR military surplus HUMVEE Tires, 37 inch units, the latest issued. the rear boasts 11 inch drum brakes while the fronts are stock.
For the running gear I wanted the best horsepower to weight ratio I could fit without a shoehorn. I chose a 1988 Chevy 4.3 roller motor, rebuilt and bored 020. over. With a Quadrajet 4bbl, 65,000 volt HEI for serious spark, and 3/8 flange Sanderson headers, plus a 110 amp hi-output GM 1 wire alternator, this motor is STRONG and RELIABLE.!!!!! Thats also why I used a GM SM465 (super low first gear AND fully synchronised!!) a great unit used in 1 Ton trucks thru-out the 1980s
4 speed truck trans, complete with GM hydraulic clutch set up–no binding,ever!! Its connected via a NOVAK adapter tgo the all metal,all gear driven 1971 model 18 trandfer case. this unit can be rebuilt with WAY Low gears and is twin sticked and interlock pellet altered to provide 2 WHEEL LOW. GREAT on tight trails!! The dual exhaust is fully welded .
The body tub is fiberglass, the nose all steel. The windshield has been chopped 2 inches. Sunpro guages, removeable steering wheel , racing bucket seats.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4600.
(09/10/2012) This looks pretty good, but it needs a speedometer at the very least. The hood appears dented, too.

There may be value in parts. The serial number is 48814, which would actually make it a 1959 CJ-3B.
“i am selling my cj-3b jeep. i initially bought it as a project car, but i didnt have the time to get around to it. I DO NOT have a title for it.

model: cJ-3B
year: i believe its a 58′

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2499
The seller incorrectly listed this as a CJ-3A. It does not run.
“HERE’S YOUR CHANCE TO OWN AN AWESOME FATHER/SON PROJECT, OR HECK…JUST FOR YOU PROJECT. THIS IS A 1961 JEEP WILLYS CJ-3A. I HOLD A CLEAR TEXAS TITLE AND THE JEEP IS VERY SOLID. NO BONDO OR RUST BUCKET. IT SEEMS TOTALLY COMPLETE EXCEPT HEAD AND CARBURETOR. COME DOWN, HOOK IT UP AND PULL HER HOME.”
This hasn’t been barely used in 30 years. But, it does run and drive. Bids start at $2000 with no reserve.
“The owner of this Jeep passed away, and has left it sitting in a garage since 1980. We purchased it from the family estate and cleaned the carburator, and emptied the fuel tank to install a new sending unit. We also put new brakes on it along with rebuilding the master cylinder. The Jeep starts up & runs surprisingly good after sitting all those years. The tires were new before parking it in the garage so there is a lot of tread, but they do have some weather cracks. We took pictures of the worst rust spots on it that lie under the passenger seat. Other than that the Jeep is ready for a good restoration, everything is still all original. Still all original paint. It is a 2 owner vehicle with the 2nd owner owning it since 1973. It comes with the original title of 1973, and books. The family attest that the 48,000 miles are true and actual. This is the CJ3B series which gives it the overhead motor, and the raised hood with the military style fenders. 1964 was the last year for this style.
If you have any questions about it please call me at 217-663-6924.”

Bruce spotted this one. The seller is incorrect that this is a M606 style body.
