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 .
The current bid price on this one is $600 with 5 days left.

Derek Redmond of the CJ-3B page believes this vehicle began life as a Mahindra product, then was modified. This is located in France, but the postage is only $3.18.

It’s listed as a 1950.

“Looking to sell this Willys. It is a 1953 CJ3B. It was running but now isn’t getting spark so I have ordered a distributor rebuild kit and will continue to try to get going again. Tires are mismatched and have dry rot but hold air. Tub is rough but has been patched and is usuable. Frame has surface rust but looks to be solid. Looks to be all there and has a clean Kentucky title. Has new brake lines, carb, newer wiring and battery and maybe a couple small things I’m forgetting. Located in Hyden KY and willing to help with shipping. Looking for 5500 or best offer. No trades.”
This could be worth a look.

“1962 jeep CJ3B it has a hurricane f38 engine rebuilt by Clark’s garage less than 5000 miles ago. It needs tires and carburetor but runs and drives it has new brakes and lines new clutch and flywheel. I do not have back seat the heater or the top”
Seems in pretty good shape. I think the doors are just sitting their in the pics rather than sitting in their front channels.

“53 Willys cj-3b high hood jeep. The wiring is all screwed up. It is not currently running, but ran when it was parked. Has the Suzuki samurai front brakes and recently rebuilt kingpin bearings. It is not currently running. My health just had another severe downturn so I need to sell it because I will not be able to get to it. Serious offers only. Will not reply to automated responses. Mileage not accurate. No title issued by nh for vehicles this age. Only this jeep is for sale. Had a bunch of non serious offers. Need to cover some medical bills asap. People who have cash in hand and come with a trailer top of the list. May be interested in a vehicle as a trade. Currently parked in deering nh.”
UPDATE: Still Available.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $700
(08/23/2023) Despite the half cab, I’m not sure there is much value here.
“Model CJ-3B. Use for parts or restore. Frame is good had 225 V6 in it. $700 obo.”
This is a project with a Mercedes diesel.

“Willys CJ3B project vehicle. I believe it’s a late 1950s (don’t know exact year, no title). Mercedes om616 diesel engine and manual transmission. Got this as part of a package deal, but finishing it is a bit more than I’m able to take on. Engine runs great. Throttle, hydraulic clutch, new Bosch gauges connected. Transmission connected to rear differential. Just needs a frame support under the transmission (have original, which could be adapted) and the shift box mounted. Also comes with a Suzuki transfer case. Brand new steering wheel from Kaiser-Willys. Nice early CJ wheels with new radial tires. Frame solid. Has beefy U-joint front axle. Tub is rough but works. Cowl, dash, window frame, hood, and grill are nice. Includes the original engine, transmission, and transfer case (assembled). Was told the engine ran a little rough.”
Apparently, this needs some work? Looks like a good price.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $4500.
(09/11/2023) This is titled as a “1959 4cj5jp”, but it may likely be a 1959 CJ-3B (it has the later body with the passenger vent).
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/842601570476996

No pics and no description. The sale is part of a sale of other vehicles posted to Barnfinds. Maybe something or maybe nothing. Model unclear. Thanks to Bill for sharing it.

This has a new steel body.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/802801271457934/
“All original 6 volt but was in the process of changing to 12 volt. New steel body from Toledo. First year of the Hurricane 4 cylinder with overhead valves. Frame, engine and transmission were powder coated. Rhino lined on bottom and inside the tub. New wheels and tires. New top in a box has never been installed. Lots of extra parts including original honeycomb radiator.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $9500.
I believe this is Al’s CJ-3B. If so, the Bobcat hood is one he made from the Bobcat/Parkette molds we owned together. He was a straight shooter in all my dealings with him.

“frame off restore. 302,Ford 4 speed,Hurst shifter. power steering,disc brakesNEW gas tank,stainless steel roll bar,NEW windshield,NEW seats. Bob cat fiberglass hood.NEW radiator.everything is NEW or rebuilt”
It runs. Listed as a 1955, it looks to be a 1956 or later.

“This is a CJ3B “high hood” that I had plans to restore. The video is a cold start and she’s cold blooded but runs well when warmed up. It does look like it needs a master cylinder so it currently has no brakes. I don’t have a title to the truck but I’ll write you a bill of sale.”
Given the Koenig top, maybe there’s some value here?

“Willys Jeep project car! Disassembled to start renovation, but no time to do it. Have all the parts. Rust in usual places. Hard top. No odometer. Own a piece of history!”
Nick’s got this CJ-3B with a Koenig hardtop for sale.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/318705420847298
“No trades. Not responding to is this available. Has a title. This is a Willys CJ3B that last ran and drove about 15 years ago. I pulled the head off to fix some sticky exhaust valves. Put it back together and compression is low. I’m moving on.
Frame is very solid. Front horns are a little bent due to no bumper. Transmission and tcase shifts in all gears nicely. Body needs some floor repairs as shown in photos.
If you want a set of tires and wheels that hold air, I can swap these for an aftermarket set of wheels that I have listed for sale on my profile (for free).”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4200.
(08/23/2023) Listed as a 1957, it’s got the early dash.
