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 .
Unsure how much value is here.

“This jeep is missing original engine but otherwise very original and complete. It has an original dated radiator, unmolested wiring. Also has front heater and very rare complete rear heater.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $7000.
(09/08/2022) This could use some new paint and possibly wiring (wipers look unwired).

(08/11/2023) Chris sent me this former Navy CJ-3B dually for sale. You can contact Chris directly via email: romyg504 @ yahoo.com (remove the spaces around the @)
“1960 Willy’s CJ3B Dually. This Jeep came out of Georgia, was told by the previous owner that it was on a Naval base, and had been in the South up until 3 years ago. Stripped down and repainted last year. All new tires, rims, and seats. New speedo cluster, new radiator, mats, and door straps. Roll bar and seatbelts. Jack and camo netting (small bag in back) included. Lights all work including fog light. Directionals work as well. Runs and drives as it should. It’s a fun vehicle to drive, turns heads, especially with the dually package, and gets a lot of attention at car shows. Also comes with extra set of tires and rims.”
This could be worth a look.

“Restored classic Willys. Clear title and registered. This vehicle is been kept in Athens TN”
Not 100% original, but appears pretty original.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/807410451029973
“This is an original 1960 Willy’s CJ3B in excellent condition. Has 39,780 actual miles and runs, drives perfect. I bought it from the 2nd owners, an elderly couple who were retired and not using it any longer. It had been stored in their heated garage for the last 32 years and started or driven occasionally. It looks exactly like it does in the photos and starts and runs perfect. It’s a rare high hood 3B and in original condition. Has has had a very rare passenger side fuel tank installed and looks factory. 4X4 works perfect, heater works, and stops like it should. Original 16″ wheels with new 700×16″ non-directional tires(100 miles). Seats do not have any rips or tears on them and the floorboards have no rust. Has horn and blinkers. We drive it about 2 times per week for ice cream outings. Nothing to do to this jeep but drive it. Will sell for $18,500 or consider trade for nice 60s or 70s muscle car.”
JW is selling his J53, because he bought an M-38 (which he found on eWillys).

“This 1986 J53 diesel Jeep is in great shape and it runs fantastic. Truly a rare Jeep, there are not many like it in the United States. It has more power than a flat fender but still has classic Willys style. If you own this you’ll have the most unique Jeep in the group. Original 30443 Km on the odometer, which is 18,916 miles. Clear title in my name. Why buy a side by side ATV or a UTV when you can have a street legal turbo-diesel Jeep!”
This might be a good price.

“jeep runs and drives needs brake work and gas tank engine is good and drive train the body needs either new rear panels or a new tub. Top is like new.

“New carb. New starter. New alternator. New battery”
This appeared in the “Vintage willys parts cj2a, cj3a, cj3b, cj5” group on Facebook.

The seller suggests that the hubs are self-locking, but they appear to be standard power-lock hubs from Cutlas (Cutlas did offer some automatic hubs in the 1960s … see the Cutlas Manufacturing history).

“1954 Willy’s cj3b for sale. 134 f head four cylinder, twin stick transfer case, three speed manual tranny, tow bar and a roll bar if interested. Believe it’s fairly original except the front bumper and warn hubs. Floors are in very good shape as is inside the tool box. Been sitting a while but did get it to fire dumping gas down the carb. Needs some love but overall a good representation of a high hood Willy’s.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(03/16/2023) This 3B is partially disassembled. The seller posted an early Kelly hardtop brochure as one of the pics, but he actually has a Kelly series 23 top produced in the 1960s. The TC is likely a Dana 18 (not Dana 41) and the diffs are likely Dana 25/44 (not 18/44).

“Willys Jeep, Model; CJ3B, also known as M606 military 4×4
Runs very well, good original condition.

This may be a CJ-3B with a DJ-3A body.
