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: **SOLD** Was $12,000.
Looks good.
“Beautiful 3b. 2300 miles since frame off restoring. Nothing over looked. Lots of stainless hardware. Engine rebuild by Eastwood auto machine. Seats could use some love. I have owned it for 20 years. Very fun. She sits more than it should.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3900
(01/17/2017) Has some updates. Looks solid.
“Selling my 1953 Jeep Willys CJ3B. This is the first year that the High Hood was built. It is all original except for the engine, which is a buick 231 v6. The motor has been rebuilt and runs great. The T90 three speed transmission and Dana 18 transfer case have been gone through with new seals and parts. It runs, drives, and stops. The axles are original and have 5.38 gears. Phone calls only please, text and email will not be answered. I am asking $3900 cash. I will not ship and do not need help selling this item.”
The seller listed this as a 1946 CJ-2A. It’s clear the seller doesn’t know what they have.
“Must sell frame off restoration needs a good home
Strapped for Christmas help

Been stored for a couple decades.
“Jeep cj3b willys, this has the larger f head motor, been stored in barn for at least the last 25 years, I have no time to work on it. I have not tried to start it and would not try until fuel system is cleaned out. I got this from my grandfather who used it for years on the farm for hauling wood. Parked it after he had more wood then he could use, and never needed to use it again”

UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $1000.
(11/18/2016) Unsure how much value is here.
“Mostly complete. Was running. Sat up. I think the valves are stuck. Have title.”
Seth says he could take a look if anyone is interested. Below is the ad’s text. He spotted it on a FB Group page.
“If you’ve ever wanted a Jeep here is your chance. It was fully rebuilt and running like a champ. Then lost in a bet and sadly sat for a while. I picked it up with dreams of making it a beast. I have realized that I don’t have the time to make it what I want. It needs a gear head to crank on it and it will run like a champ. I will take $1000 cash or we can make a deal.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(01/21/2017) Looks like a good price.

Leaky rear axle seal (might fix soon)
It has its ups and downs but keep in mind it is from 1954. No, it won’t do 60 mph.
Considering trading for a bigger 4×4. (Or even a Jeep with a top!)”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $650.
(01/17/2017) There looks to be $650 here.
“I have a 1962 CJ3B for sale. The vehicle was to be a restoration candidate. Diving in to it, it is most likely best suited as a parts vehicle or custom vehicle. The mechanicals components seem to be in relative good shape but the tin, frame, and aesthetics are sub-par.
I have dismantled the vehicle completely (main components). Sub assemblies have been partially dismantled (transmission dis-assembled, engine ancillaries and head removed). Despite being dismantled, it is all there. What I have seen of the gears I have seen, they seem to be in pretty good shape.
The bad:
– The body is in rough shape. There might be some salvageable panels.
– The frame is in rough shape. The front end and cross member will need redone. The back half of the frame is ok.
– No seats or frames.
– No steering wheel but I will include one with the sale (not original)
– Never heard the engine run.

-Disassembly soda blasting prep: cut bolts out of bed floor and removed; cut out body bolts; removed body from frame; disassembled jeep, got ready for blasting

I don’t see a large speedo on this.
“Bought as a project but have to much going on 1000 firm no title in OK shape engine is stuck at the moment has had some rust repair in the past has large pto winch and pto off transfer case comes with extra parts”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $6000.
Sure looks like it might be a good deal.
“I have three Jeeps to sell as a package deal for $6,000. The first is a mostly original 1954 CJ3B with perfect body/paint, zero rust, and running (power steering was added & leaks). Second, 1984 CJ7 w/ 258 that runs & has some rust. Last is 1967 CJ5 w/ 225 that does not start and needs work. If interested, you’ll need a trailer and cash. Price is extremely reasonable so I’m not interested in negotiating. May also be interested in trade for a nice all wheel drive car.”
Looks nice based on the one pic.
“54 willys, stock running gear, everything been gone through, has new top , tires , fuel tank , winch, runs an drives perfect $15,000 obo possible trade for Harley no sportsters”

(12/02/2016) Looks like a nice combo.
“1961 Jeep Willys CJ-3B in excellent condition with only 13,600 actual miles. Original flat fender with Koenig factory wench. Original Hurricane 4 cyl engine, starts and runs great. There are only a couple of rust spots on the Jeep, no rust in floor or in toolbox. Comes with a Army trailer painted to match, also includes the original tires and wheels.

(10/11/2016) Was previously listed here (thanks Joe).
“This fun Jeep is mostly original. Jump in and drive or restore. It hs never been on the road or off road. Its first life was a plow truck for a Church and a Fireman. It starts on first crank even after sitting a few months.”
http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/cto/5933807009.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
“1958, Willy, CJ3B, Jeep, 39,000 miles, runs good, 95% original, a very good candidate for total restoration or drive it as a survivor. It gets a lot of attention anytime I take it out. $3,500 OBO.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1995.
Not running. Has a flathead.
“1954 Jeep willys in good condition. Was running last summer but has not been started since. Has the four cylinder Go-Devil engine. Jeep is very solid and no rust. The title is clean and the tag is up to date. Just needs someones TLC to get it into fine condition. Transmission and rear end also work very well. Hitch has been modified (see the pics). Would make someone a good Jeep at $1995.”
