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 .

(11/28/2011) This has no motor. It appears to be a Military CJ-3B.
“The CJ3B page has a description of the Military version of a CJ3B, it says this one is the “Rare” Army version, whether it is or not I don’t know but it is in pretty good shape for being a 1964. Has the Koenig top but no doors, no motor but I do have a rebuildable one sitting out back. Will trade for a civilian CJ3B with a super good body even if I end up paying you money. Otherwise I need the $1600″
The seller turned this into a M-606 clone.
“This is a CJ3B/M606 clone. This unit ran so fine that I cnverted it to my militay hobby of Jeeps. All parts replaced are new, including the wiring harness and any needed parts. The milage is unknown and I installed all new spedometer and guages. Everything is as close as possible to the original military version.
New brakes, Steering wheel, guages, lights, clutch, etc. Too many items to list. Feel free to contact me for details. A vintage military radio of the Korean war era will be a gift as is, if desired. Due to my health (Viet Nam injuries) I have not fully completed this project, although it is now street legal to drive. located morristown tennesee”

(05/12/2011) This has seen a variety of upgrades, including a fiberglass 3B body. I”m guessing by the wide rim that this is a Bobcat body.

Here’s a nice CJ-3B. It appears to have a replacement body. It looks nice. I’m surprised the back is solid. It looks like it came that way rather than be a custom job.
“1953 Willys Jeep. It has a new body so there is no rust what-so-ever. Dana 44 front and rear axles. Small block Ford 260. Original 3-speed gearbox. Overdrive. 2 fuel tanks. New top. New custom gauges. Custom wheels. Custom Ranch Hand bumpers front and rear w/tow bar. Locking hubs. Aluminum radiator. Dual exhaust. This thing fires right up and runs perfectly. It’s a no-issue Jeep that doesn’t need a thing.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on ebay.
That’s a pretty rare top.
“Up for sale is a 1963 Willys Universal Jeep with only 20,595 miles. This is a 2 owner Jeep with a Hurricane 4 Cyl engine and famous 4 wheel drive. The drive train is in very good condition and a new Fuel Pump, Carburator, and master cyl. have been installed. The tires are like new.
This jeep was bought new by the Antioch, Ill volunteer fire department and was used to fight grass and brush fires for years. Please see the picture of a similarily equipped jeep in this add and a period advertisement for the unit. A member of the fire department purchased this jeep and has owned it for many years. It has been carefully housed in Florida for some time and was only used as transportation to the Fort Myers Beach. There are a couple of pictures showing some minor body rust spots.
This is your chance to own a classic Jeep in very good operating condition. With some minor body work, it will clearly make someone an excellent piece of automotive history.
The successful buyer is responsible for transportation expense from Fort Myers Fl. The seller will accept a cashier’s check or cash on or before delivery of the unit. A deposit of $1000 is required within 5 working days of the close of the auction. The balance will be due prior to transport and transfer of title. Also the seller reserve the right to close this sale or auction at his descretion because the Jeep is for sale locally. The owner does not express or imply any warranty coverage of this vehicle. The sale will be on an “as is” basis.”
UPDATE: Now on eBay.
(02/27/2012) It looks solid, though it is missing the emergency brake.
“This Willys CJ3B went though a body off restoration. It runs great and looks great. The restoration included not only cosmetic but the motor, transmission, both front and rear differentials and transfer case were gone through. The starter was also rebuilt. New u-joints, radiator, fuel tank, all leaf springs and shocks, seat cushions and cover were replaced. The tires and wheels are new. A new top along with new doors, carburetor and alternator were fitted. Updates include front lock out hubs, radio with 2 speakers and power steering.”
