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 .
This right-hand-drive jeep might be an earlyish Mitsubishi. Note that the hood is stamped “Jeep”. It appears to have a Mitsubishi logo on the top of the grille.

“1955 cj3b high hood, bought from a private collection. It’s all there engine spins over, the battery and tires indicate someone did a partial resto in 2008. Seems like they gave up on it around floor pan replacement. It has a lot to offer for the price. I’m certain a set of points and a carb clean and you’ll hear it breath fire. 2200 obo located in tullytown pa”

The only description is “rum”. Does it run on “rum”? Do you need “rum” to drive it?

Has some rust.

1953 cj3b with hardtop roof,,,,,,,,,,$4000″
There sure is a lot to like here, especially that hardtop, which looks to be a Koenig Super Cab model 550 with the optional vertical doors in the rear (see other Koenig brochures here).
https://boise.craigslist.org/cto/d/caldwell-1953-cj3b-willys-jeep/7396940273.html
“This is a unicorn. This little green gem has around 36k miles on it. Nothing is rusted out. It is mostly all original from what I can see.
Runs good
The rare hard top is in amazing shape with keys to lock doors.
Still has the 6v system and has cloth wiring. You will not find another cj3b in this shape that has not been restored..”

This looks like a good price. It includes a rear PTO & Gearbox.
“Runs and drives good everything works as it should 7000 obo”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This looks to be a modified and stretched CJ-3B. This might be 2WD.
“1946 Willy jeep will crank by spraying starting fluid in carburetor 62654 miles showing. No u can not drive it home. It needs work. But for its age it’s not bad 2500 o.b.o”

“Willys for parts. No frame. Was going to use for a rat rod t don’t have time to mess with it. Asking 400 but needs to go”
Listed as a 1954, this looks more like a post 1959 CJ-3B.

“Up forsale is a 1954 cj3b high hood, very desirable and hard to come by. This one boast all of the factory original parts as it was parked.

“Mechanically restored. New Tires, Brakes/Brake Lines, Carburetor, Fuel Tank, Battery, GM Alternator, Seats, Dash Instruments, Steering Wheel, Wiper Arms/Blades, Engine Rebuilt, New Clutch. Needs some body work. Runs. Owned by one family since 1973. Orig generator available. Tow Bar conveys. Clean title”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
Seems like a good price. Seller is very clear that it isn’t a perfect vehicle, but it does run and drive.
“1953 Willys jeep cj3b Starts right up and drives but it is almost 70yrs old. This thing is slow, bumpy, wanders all over the road, drips fluids and the brakes are like rubbing to blocks of wood together. But it’s an Absolute blast to drive. Was driving to work and school daily, now it’s not getting driven enough and I have other projects I’d like to get too. Mostly original. But there are a few modern additions. Electric wipers, electric fuel pump, modern air filter (I do have the original air canister filter) Minimal rust nothing cancerous that I know of just some light surface in a few places. Newer paint job, white exterior and black monstaliner in the inside tub. New seat upholstery, New tube in the tires and tires are in great shape. Starter and t-case rebuild 2yrs ago I want to be clear this is not a perfect vehicle, it leaks fluid, body isn’t perfect, paint isn’t perfect. This is not a show vehicle nor is the asking price. It is a driver”
Not a whole lot of value here.

“1953 jeep cj3b No motor No trans Has title Will make a good builder for a crawler or rat rod Frame has a couple patches on it as does body. Has seat frames and fuel tank Located in fort smith Arkansas”

“Chevy v8 Original axles and gears Will climb without you just leave her in gear Fuel pump is weak but last time I thought I was selling it about a year it ran but we didn’t air up the tires And the the kid that was buying never showed up No I will not part it out Mileage unknown it was only ever used for deer hunting, moving need gone It is now on a trailer and mobile for hauling”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
Perhaps the price is just a placeholder?
“Old Willys, it has the original flat head The motor was rebuilt and at the most it had 5000 miles on it it has just been parked , it would make a great project car I would trade it for and older motor home or a car that runs good as well”
This may be a good price. It’s listed near Reno, but the map on Craiglist shows it along the border of Kansas and Oklahoma. I’m guessing the map is wrong.
