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 .
Looks in good shape.

Travis spotted this project/parts vehicle.
“Willy’s CJ-3B with a 283 Chevy motor for sale. Not sure of the year and I do not have a title for it. This is a project vehicle. The frame is good, but the body needs to be replaced. Not sure the condition of the motor. Has an adapter bell housing to mate the Chevy motor to the Jeep transmission. It also has a cradle motor mount on the front of the engine. Complete Jeep ready to be restored.”

“I’m selling my ’54 Willys CJ-3B. Engine is a Chevy 350. Runs great. 3-speed T-90 transmission. Everything shifts smooth. Top speed is around 50-55mph. Tires are 32×11.5 BF Goodrich in like new condition. Miles are unknown, as the odometer does not work. VIN on body and frame matches. Body is fairly clean considering its age. New battery. 12 volt electrical. Drum brakes. Soft top is in decent shape. Smog exempt. Registration is up to date. Includes tow bar and lights.
This jeep was well cared for. I’ve owned it for a little more than a year, and haven’t had any issues with it. Unfortunately, my plans changed and I need to part ways.”
https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/d/jeep-1954-willys-cj-3b-high/6428824221.html
Includes a rear PTO. Engine is frozen.
“This is one of the straightest original 3b models I have seen. The floorboards are solid as well as the body. Its complete besides the top. Great rest project or build a nice restomod. Been in a barn for 29 years. Has a rear pto that was used to run a brush hog on a ranch. Motor is frozen but all there”

UPDATE: **SOLD** $6200 on eBay
Nick’s got this twin-stick-PTO 3B for auction on eBay. He’s included a couple good shots of the PTO lever (not many of these around any more) and the crankshaft mechanism that operates the winch.
“For sale is a great representation of the Willys CJ3B. This is Jeep has an original body with factory twin-stick Ramsey PTO.
Clear and modern title.
The Jeep runs, drives at 60 mph, and stops. Even in 20 degree weather it starts right up. I drove the Jeep on a few 1+ hour trips without flaw. Clutch works and shifts gears smoothly. High/low range works. Rear PTO works great, needs a driveshaft for the winch. The shaft on the passenger floor controls the winch in/out direction. Two shifters between the seats engage the winch/PTO box. Rear PTO box can be attached to various agricultural equipment.
Good: Overall good condition with original parts. Body doesn’t have any patch panels and still has the side drain holes. Tires are pretty new. Original 6V system. Jeep is ready to be enjoyed.
Bad: Engine has minor smoke, needs lights/heater hooked up.
It has a Koenig 100R winch, which connects to the engine via crankshaft. This means all the parts are present to operate the winch. The passenger lever is the engage/disengage.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,000

This is your chance to own a piece of NW four wheeling history and climb just about any trail, unfortunately it just sits most of the time and needs a new home where it can be driven, rock crawled, wheeled, pampered and appreciated.
If you have ever opened a 4×4 magazine from the early to mid 90’s odds are you saw this in there.”

It has an aftermarket 3B tub on a custom frame.
“Willys 3B Jeep with a custom boxed frame. The jeep has a hard top with the hard doors. There is a Chevy 350 mounted on the new custom frame as well. The tub is the remanufactured heavy duty metal tub. New hood, fenders, nice grill, tailgate, custom steel bumpers with heavy duty tongue. This is an unbelievable project, it just needs someone to finish it up. New disk brakes, hubs have been rebuilt, fluids changed in the axles. The pictures in this ad were taken prior to having a custom boxed steel frame made to handle the 350 engine. Too many new parts to mention!!!!! Make me a reasonable offer!
