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 $5500.
It’s got some dents and dings, especially that front bumper. Has some EasyLok hubs. Unclear why the parking brake was moved down.
“1957 CJ3B Willy’s Jeep F block 4cyl Clean title Newer Brake cylinders, lines, 5 coker tires with no cracks, redone electrical, great shape, runs great. Original engine and power train. 4×4 with manual lockers.”
Correct me if I’m wrong but I think this guy probably relocated the e-brake because he couldn’t get the original cane handle replacement. Knowing Yuma, that probably got pulled out of some sidelined old bailer jeep. Just a guess, but there are a lot of old beater Jeeps around Yuma.
Ron,
That’s certainly a possibility. This looks like a later model 3B T-handle.

In the FB posting about this Jeep, it says “Army Jeep”, which made me wonder why the only thing remotely military looking is the blackout light assembly on the drivers fender….yet the Jeep has no ‘cat eyes’ or military style tail lights….???
Rick,
Many people describe civilian jeeps incorrectly as military jeeps. Now, some CJs were used in the military, but nearly all such jeeps should have government issued plaques on them. I see no dash plaque like that on the dash, so I doubt this was used in the military. Here’s an example of one of those plates used on a standard CJ-3B: http://www.ewillys.com/wp-content/uploads2/2013/08/1960-dod-cj3b-plate.jpg

Dave,
Got it. It just seems odd that someone went to the trouble of putting that blackout light on that fender. Yes I have seen them on other non military Jeeps…just wondering why, that’s all.
Rick,
I might have misinterpreted your question. 🙂
I’m assuming they did it to make it look more military?
