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 .

(02/27/2014) That rear bumper is unusual.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
The odometer reads 11,800. And, it looks like it could really be low miles. Might be worth a closer look. Not sure why the tailgate is a different color than the body (though the tailgate seems to match the dash.
“This is a well kept, hard to find Jeep. I have original title, was used to maintain driveway of roller rink for many yrs, then stored many more. Actual mileage is 11800+. The engine is the std jeep engine from that yr. Runs quietly, etc. Has hydraulic lift for plow. I also have that plow if interested. Body is very good for a vehicle of 58 yrs. Insured appraisal at time of my purchase was 7500. If you are looking for a great old vehicle to work on or just bum around in this is for you.”
Hasn’t been run since 1992. Looks pretty good for a jeep that’s been sitting for 22 years. It seems like we’ve seen this one previously.
“30,000 miles
The Jeep was parked in 1992 and haven’t been used since.
Body and frame are in great condition no rust, a little but if surface rust here and there but otherwise in great shape.

Not exactly a ‘combat jeep’, but interesting none-the-less. The serial number looks to be 14093 (not positive about the 3 though).

“Specialty Trucks” Willys made over the years. Only 14 of these were ever made, under

“Frame off restoration over the past 5 years. Just completed. Rebuilt Hurricane 4 cylinder motor. Pulled off frame. Frame painted and detailed. Taken down to bare metal and painted Flat Army Green.

(12/23/2013) Looks real nice.
“1963 Willys CJ3B Jeep
This is an original High Hood, Flat Fender, Four Wheel Drive, Universal Jeep from Willys. It is VERY unique and reasonably rare (in this condition). It turns more heads than a Lamborghini Gallardo. If you are shy and don’t like attention, this car may not be for you.
It came off a farm in Virginia. A friend and I restored it and removed all Bondo patches and replaced them with steel. Our goal was to take it back to as original condition as possible. All original running gear. 4 Wheel Drive system works fine. Manual Lockout hubs. Correct lights and heater. It has a “Granny’ gear that will climb a tree.
I am looking to trade it for a 1940 through 1956 Pick-Up truck (Any size up to 3 ton) with:
-Ford, Chevrolet or Dodge
-Mostly or all original (No modifications that can be seen)
-Running and driving
-Good interior
-Solid body and frame
-Good paint.
-It doesn’t need to be SHOW condition.”

UPDATE: Was listed at $10,900. **SOLD**
(08/05/2013) Here’s a beautiful CJ-3B. It looks like it might have a government plate on the dash next to the standard data plate.
“A fully restored Jeep that has spent it’s life in Oregon and Arizona. This jeep was frame off restored in 2010 in Arizona and has too many new parts to mention! New parts include paint, interior, gauges, steering wheel, winshield glass and rubber, seats, complete wiring harness, new electrics to include starter, alternator, battery, all switches, complete new braking system to include master cylinder, lines, hoses, wheel cylinders, shoes, drums, complete new cooling system to include new radiator, hoses, water pump, belts, thermostat, all new fluids in engine, trans, differentials, all new tuneup parts, new gas tank, sender, gas lines, 4 new tires on powder coated rims, all new exhaust system, engine has a tag showing a rebuild approximately 15k miles ago.”
Not a perfect restoration, but given the rear PTO and drum it looks solid for the price.
“Was restored a few years back, but in good condition still. About 200miles on restoration. Rebuilt motor runs great, New sheet metal except for Grill its original. new wiring, lights, breaks, mechanically sound. Needs new upholstery on seats, but drives great.
