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: Was $4000. **SOLD**
(08/09/2012) This might be a solid jeep, though it isn’t ‘all original’.
“im selling an original willys high hood cj-3b. all original with the original cyl engine and extras added. has a heater and a full top and doors from bestop and an added kill switch for extra safty have a bunch more pics if interested email me if interested serious offers only no scams or bs local pick up”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200
Given a spare tire is sitting in the driver’s seat, I’m gonna guess this doesn’t run? But, it doesn’t look too bad.
“1954 Willys Jeep for sale with title. Project vehicle, needs love but hard to find these w/ title.”
This looks good.

Looks nice.
“For Sale 1954 Willys with a 327, 4 speed Muncie Dana Front a Rear, Tow package, bimini top. Registered through Nov. $8000obo”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
(11/12/2011) It sounds like a project.
“Solid frame, floors replaced with diamond plate, needs body work. Bought new carb, not yet installed. Has newer radiator and brakes done by last owner. This jeep is a mahindra, an Indian built cj5. Bought this jeep last spring, but must now sell because of move. Call Ken 603.566.2258 and leave a message and I’ll get back to you. NO TEXTS PLEASE”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800
The frame has been powder coated and most everything is there, but the seller claims this is a “mystery jeep”? I’m gonna bet the seller also doesn’t have a title for this. This just sounds a bit sketchy on the face of it. I’m gonna guess this is a late 1950s/ early 1960s CJ-5 or CJ-3B?
“mystery jeep for sale. I have all the parts you need to put it all together except motor! The frame has been powder coated, brand new springs, shocks, tires and rims!!”
No pics pictures provided. The seller listed this in the antiques section of Craigslist.
“Completely stock with 6 volt battery system. 4cylinder overhead motor. photos on request. missing windshield.”
This looks rough.
“This is a spring over lifted 1962 willys cj3b it has a complete and original f -134 hurricane engine that is not locked up. 3 speed transmission and complete transfercase. Body is in fair condition and has most of its original steel. Has original cushioned seats with it. Needs fenders.

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $1200.
This is a major project or a collection of parts.
“It started as a rock crawler…

This needs the clutch replaced. The seller mentions it has an ‘aluminum’ buick V-6; however, I suspect the seller has confused that with the aluminum V-8. The engine is most likely cast iron if it is a V-6. This may be a good price.
“1953 jeep willys, army green with rebuilt Buick v6 aluminum engine, only 38,000 miles. New muncie 4 speed transmission with high low overdrive. 4×4. Canvas top with bucket seats and old school cb radio. This things awesome, its lifted, it has a working winch on the front bumper, like new tires. Only issue is it needs the clutch replaced. If you’re good with cars the price I’m asking is a steal. Parts are inexpensive, all gm, and easy to come by. If you have it done professionally however you’re looking at about $1200, I have the quote on hand. All told you’d be spending around $4200 if you go that route, and $3800 tops if you can do it yourself. I’m in the military and I just don’t have the time or resources to get this fixed. It’s worth $5500 with everything working right, so I could easily ask for $4000, but Im dropping it to $3000 just for the inconvenience of it. Please call or text if interested, I’m horrible about checking email. Thanks for your time. My name’s Jared by the way. (317) 371-3709”

UPDATE: **SLD** Was $2800.

Here’s the CJ-5:

The gauges don’t work.
“1954 Willys CJ3B in great condition, runs excellent, 4 wheel drive works. The gages are not working. This jeep is registered as an antique. Title in hand, no trades.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
The driver side fender corners look a little sharp. I’m wondering if this has been modified. Otherwise, this Navy CJ-3B looks good for the price.
“1958 CJ3B Jeep Willys with 4 cycle engine and original drive train. It has a Department of Navy data plate. Comes with extra hood cover with “Willys” on the sides. Asking $3,500.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600

“THIS 1954 WILLYS CJ3B (HIGH HOOD) WAS FRAME OFF RESTORED ABOUT 7 YEARS AGO AND DRIVEN VERY LITTLE SINCE. IT WAS PURCHASED FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNERS SON, AFTER HIS DAD PASSED. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN ARIZONA, ON A RANCH, EXCEPT FOR THE LAST 6 YEARS. THE ORIGINAL OWNERS SON HAD THE JEEP RESTORED AFTER HIS DAD PASSED.

IT IS AN EXTREMELY SOLID HIGH HOOD AND WAS KEPT COMPLETELY STOCK, RIGHT DOWN TO THE 4 CYLINDER ENGINE AND THE 3 SPEED TRANSMISSION. IT WAS PAINTED ISLAND GREEN, WICH WAS A FACTORY COLOR IN 1954. IT HAS THE SO CALLED “ZIPPER TIRES” MOUNTED ON STOCK STEEL WHEELS, INCLUDING THE SPARE. THE MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION WERE ALSO GONE THROUGH AT THE TIME OF THE RESTORATION. ALSO COMES WITH A VERY NICE BLACK SOFT TOP AND DOORS. THIS JEEP RUNS EXCELLENT AND IS A BLAST TO DRIVE!! IT IS A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF A WILLYS CJ3B AND ANYONE WOULD BE PROUD TO OWN IT.”
Lots of time and money in this crawler.

Not perfect, but looks solid.
“Ride away in this beautifully restored 1961 Willys CJ-3B Jeep. This Jeep underwent an extensive restoration a several years ago. The restoration included body, engine, drivetrain, brake, electrical, interior, and fresh JEEP “Rescue Green” paint! I also installed new wheels and tires during the project and did a few discrete upgrades by installing a CD player and speakers. This Jeep has a VERY strong running engine as well as a smooth shifting transmission and transfer case! It runs and drives great and is completly functional! I am unsure of original mileage”
