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 .
These teens reported about a ride on a CJ-3B. Among other things they likened it to “doing the Mambo on a hot stove”. This article was published in the May 1955 issue of Willys News.
This is a rare Corn Picker brochure that was on eBay. Given the reference to the ‘Jeep’ Tractor, this would have been published around 1951 or 1952 (no mention of the CJ-3B).
UPDATE: *SOLD* Was $7000.
Looks good.
“525 miles on complete restoration approx. 15 years ago. Always garaged. Stock original 4 cylinder (completely overhauled during restoration) Ordinal 3 spd. transmission. After market gauges, reproduction top. Serious inquries only. I am open to offers.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“Most parts interchange with Willys CJ-3B, the Mahindra CJ-540P 4WD is an updated, long wheel-base version of the 1950’s Willy’s CJ-3B design that was built under license by Mahindra in India from the 1950’s until 2011. Although it is a few inches longer than an original CJ-3B, it is still a 2-door, flat-fender model (only has a little more legroom than the original front and back seat layouts). This Jeep is a 1990 model, free title, licensed in Louisiana, unrestored, no rust, NEEDS A TUNE-UP but it runs-stops-drives, 4cl willys hurricane engine, 2 speed transfer case. Need to see – Mahindra did update some of the CJ-3B stuff such as it now has a hydraulic clutch, 3-point seat belts (front only), turn signals, and other MINOR updates/improvements over the 1950’s vintage Willys design. Otherwise, it’s like they were built back in the 50’s! See pics – this vehicle is in very good un-restored condition.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
Looks good.
“Here is a 1979 Mitsubishi J54 Diesel, Mitsubishi continued to manufacture the J54 ( CJ-3B ) after Jeep had discontinued production. The J54 has the 4DR5 (4 cyl. diesel motor) lots of torque and great gas mileage, and still looking really cool. 4×4 as every jeep should be combined with the diesel will let you go anywhere. It has a Dana 44 rear and Dana 30 front with 4.77 gears packed inside.
The Jeep comes with Delaware state title, Japanese export title, and Japanese regular title. This vehicle if federally legal due to the 25 year rule which makes these gems importable.
The Jeep comes with the original style wheels and tires, does not include the 31’s in the pictures. Customs will not allow for anything to be in the vehicle during shipping.
27k km original kilometers on the odometer, (that’s only 16777 miles)
Right hand drive, (not because it was a mail jeep but because it is a Japanese vehicle)
4 speed manual
Twin stick transfer case
Original style wheels and tires (can fit 31’s without lift, if you want to take away from the originality)
Good top with no leaks.
NO RUST NO RUST NO RUST”
UPDATE: Was 25,000. **Status Unknown**

“1967 Jeep CJ6-A Half-cab – A rare vehicle- very few made. Buick V-6 engine (probably the original motor). Exact mileage unknown, but motor is very strong. 3-speed transmission, tight clutch. Low geared – great for off-road – but does well at hi-way speeds. New brakes and lines. Many other new parts. CLEAN TITLE.
Needs new battery, but starts and runs when jump-started. Speedometer and temp gauge work, but most others don’t. Horn, windshield wiper, and all lights work.
Yes, it does have rust – it’s a 1967 and worked hard all it’s life before I got it. Has flat black primer on it now. Can send more pics upon request. “
It’s a project.
“It is a 1946 Jeep Willy’s powered by the reliable 134 cubic inch, 60 horsepower “Go-Devil” engine. It is at the point to where it could be restored to original or made into a modern Jeep. The only thing that has been updated on it so far is a 1.5″ shackle lift and a cushioned tractor seat. The stock wheels do come with it and the original gauges were pulled out of it, but do go with it as well.
It still has the original 6 volt system and purrs like a kitten when running. For being 68 years old it is in really good shape and a piece of American history. There has been some body panels welded into it at some point in its life, but the way it sits is the way it was when I purchased it. The only thing body wise that I have done to it is re-primer it since it sat out side for a few years and had surface rust. Transmission, transfer case and axles are all fine and work good, but there is no top with it.
I have researched online and Willys Jeeps in about the same condition is going for atleast $1000 more, so I feel this is a fair price for it. If you are looking for a project to restore or modernize and drive, this is the Jeep for you.”

“completely solid MC M38 Army jeep, not a look alike. these were the direct decedent of the MB WWII JEEP, used during the Korean War and Vietnam, they were replaced by the M38A1 and M151. converted to 12volt. many new parts with mild restoration. runs drives great. you will see many willys for sale out there, but this is the real deal. $10500 cash or possible partial trade for something equally as cool. Bill of sale only as Georgia does not issue titles for vehicles this old, it is licensed and insured in my name. NO CARS, NO JUNK.”
