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 .
Unclear why this doesn’t have headlights. There’s a ‘make offer’ option as part of the auction.

“Up for auction is a 1954 Willys RARE High Hood Jeep CJ 3B with Bed Extension
This is a very solid jeep with a 134 4 cylinder rebuilt engine that runs excellent NO LEAKS! (No paperwork on this rebuild)
3 Speed with Overdrive
Tow Bar good shape (not shown)
New Soft Top
Rare Bed Extension
70% Studded tires also includes spare
Locking Hubs
Roll Bar
NO RUST Floor Pans are solid
Interior is in good shape, some tears on the seats, overall usual wear but no rust
The only real issue is there are minor seeps in the transmission.
Overall this is a very solid and ORIGINAL Jeep that starts right up. Brakes are good, 4×4 works great, all gauges work except for the speedometer so do not know the mileage. The paint is an older repaint but in good shape with typical wear, scratches and one dent below the drivers side door. The heater and windshield wiper works, The jeep is turn key for those tough mountain roads, cruising country roads or its ready for that pristine restore.”
This must be move within 10 days after purchase. It doesn’t run and there is not title. Still, there seems to be value.
“This is an old Willys Jeep. I think it is a 1954 but not sure. I have tried to take good pictures so you can see everything.Has an aluminum top that is in very good shape. The windshield is cracked as in the picture. I got it to restore it but never did. The motor was froze up and I took the head off. I got it so it will turn over but turns hard. The weld on the step has broken. Speedometer says 25,304. I have included a pic of the tire tread. The brakes were froze up and stuck to the drums so you will need new brakes in the back and probably brake lines. The pics tell a lot so please look at them. The nice thing about these old jeeps is that they make a lot of parts for them.”

The roof is about 3 years old and looks like new.
The transmission leaks, probably needs a new gasket.

(12/01/2015) It’s a project or parts jeep.
“Bought the Jeep about 6 months ago wanting a new project and I just don’t have time for it. The frame is straight and solid with minor surface rust, the drivetrain is complete. Hurricane 4 cyl (does not rotate), Dana 44 offset rear, Dana 18 transfer case and and the Dana 25 (maybe 27?) front axle, all original. The tub is more or less shot, I was planning to chop it up and make it into a hot rod of sorts but a full restoration would almost certainly require a new tub. The Jeep comes with a good amount of extra parts I had collected to begin the project. The jeep has NO TITLE, the vin plate on the hood is long gone and these things didn’t have the vin stamped anywhere else, but that being the case, once you’ve built it as you desire the DMV can come out and look it over for any vin numbers to ensure it isn’t stolen and then issue a new vin for you to title it under.
Extra parts:
-Dana 20 transfer case in excellent condition
-Dana 44 narrow-track rear from a CJ-5, centered housing, in great shape, unsure of gear ratio.
-Matched pair of narrow-track axles, AMC 20 rear and Dana 30 front from a CJ-5, complete with brakes and steering linkage. Great shape, unsure of ratio.
-GM SM465 4 speed transmission, could use a rebuild but would need to have the mainshaft swapped to mate to the Dana 20 anyway, so a rebuild should be done in the process.
-NP205 transfer case that came with the transmission when I picked it up, not appropriate for this build, but it’s yours if you want it.
– CJ5 Frame that needs to be straightened”

(12/06/2014) It might be worth a look.
“My ’54 is numbers-matching and pretty much all original from stem to stern. It has 66764 miles and has spent all it’s life in Montana and Oregon. It has been driven a mere 1800 miles since 1993. It is equipped with a Koenig Model 330 all-steel cab and Koenig PTO King Winch Model 151J (the PTO is not connected for some reason). And it has a HEATER!!
The engine runs well. 6V battery is new. Clutch, exhaust, shocks, tires, and brakes have low miles on them– however due to lack of use the brakes need some attention. I added fluid and replaced both front brake hoses– and then the weather hit and I set the project aside. Lights also want a little help. Gauges mostly work. One broken piece of (flat) cab glass left-rear.
The Jeep was originally red. At some point it was re-painted red by hand and has great patina. Yes, there is rust– but I’m going to call it ‘average’. Oregon title is clean.
I can send pix– but come take a look! I’m just west of Pilot Butte….”
UPDATE: Was $1900. **SOLD**

“Selling my 1953 Willy’s Jeep, its a CJ3B first year of the high hood model. This jeep starts right up, drives all day, its not a corvette but it will climb over one! It does have the original motor and transmission, transfer case, most of the wiring is original. This jeep is more than 60 years old so it does need some TLC, it needs brake line and/or the brake master cylinder fixed and a couple of the gauges (which are all original) also need some attention, needs new windshield wipers (front glass is near perfect) and driver side mirror. There is very little rust and no cancer that I have found. It has two new tires on the rear and comes with a spare carburetor and a new carburetor kit for it. New battery, original oil filter etc, etc, etc.
No pics provided.
“1962 CJ-3B. Several new parts! This jeep cranks and runs and is drivable. It’s very solid, not much rust at all, very good body. Interior is good, and two extra tires and a hard top! 4wd (4 high and 4 low both work great!) Great shape! Feel free to call or text anytime $2,300 OBO! I can not get the pictures to upload I will text pictures! Just ask! Have a great day and thanks for looking! ”
