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 .

“Very nice, original unrestored 1964 Willys CJ3B in the service skin of the Vietnam war period. These jeeps (last of the Willys Flat Fenders) were sent by the hundreds to Vietnam They were not used tactically by the U.S but in security roles and staff duty vehicles in garrison around Saigon ect.
This vehicle in in very authentic configuration as the 3Bs put into service during that war.
Original condition with no rust or rust repairs ever..
The 134 F head motor powers this vehicle, transfer case and lockouts operate perfectly. There is a chipped tooth on the 1st/reverse gear that makes
a noise in 1st and reverse but does not effect the performance of the vehicle.
It has a military canvas top and windshield cover.
I am the 3rd owner, the 2nd owner was the original owners son who took possession of the vehicle only 4 years ago just before I purchased it.”

It has been sitting in my shed for several years due to my disability, but was completely serviced and driven last month. I removed the steering wheel so I could in it, I’m fat!”

This J-54 appears in good shape.
“Up for sale is my 1981 cj3b Diesel J54 from Mitsubishi Heavy industries. Willys sold the license to Mitsubishi in 1953 for them to make a version of their much beloved Cj3b. Mitsubishi in turn, made the Jeeps from 1954 up until August of 1998. Willys on the other hand, stopped making the cj3b in 1965 for the American market. This jeep is in really good shape and it has only 36,000 original miles. The engine is the 2.8l 4dr5 inline 4 cylinder diesel and gets extremely good gas mileage…ive gotten a little over 30mpg since i bought it in 2010. It is the right hand drive like postal jeeps but it is really easy to get used to and kinda fun once you get used to it. The diesel engine is very heavy duty and was used all over the world in these jeeps and in Mitsubishi heavy forklifts. Here are some specs….full time hubs, 24 volt waterproof electrical system, D44 for rear diff and d30 for front diff, good approach and departure angles, gear to gear transfer case with a 2.3 low range and 4.77 differential gearing, no computer, no epa smog devices at all, no catalytic converter, no egr valve, no pcv valve, and no carburetor to adjust. The jeep cranks better than anything that i own and i attribute that to the 24 volt system and the power it throws to spin the starter. I really dont want to sale the jeep but other things are pressing and it is time for someone else to enjoy it.. . more info on craigslist.
