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 $3200.

“1954 Willys Jeep CJ runs good. I have two more jeeps to go with that can be used for parts.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800
(05/11/2010) I can’t tell if this runs or not.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800. This hasn’t been listed since June 13, 2009)
(06/13/2010) The seller says they must sell it. An old trailer goes with it.
“56 cj3b willys has new trans, motor was rebuilt some years back, new carb, new coker tires i work to much and no time for the old willys i was fixing up but need to sell, also have a old jeep trailer in parts to go with it call with any”
UPDATE: The seller contacted me and wanted to update the listing. This CJ-3B has an OD rather than a PTO. Also, the seller has a good deal of images here. Finally, the engine is out, so it doesn’t run. This looks like it would make a great stock restoration projection.
(07/28/2010) “I purchased this jeep about 5 years ago with the intention of restoring it but have not had the time to do so. It has an overhead valve 4 cylander motor and lots of parts. It also an Overdrive.”

This runs. It looks like a good wind would blow the paint right off of this.
“This is a nice little Flat Fender CJ. Someone went through the running gear a few years ago and it was on the road. It runs good, just put a new battery and fuel pump in it. Brakes are good and I think it will pass inspection as is. The body need some patches. The Plow Hoist in the photo does not come with it.”
In 1965, this jeep was donated by the Hubbards Fire Department to a sub-department volunteer fire unit call the Blandford & Area Fire Rescue Unit, located on the southwest side of the Aspotogan Peninsula, Luenburg Co, Nova Scotia, Canada, at 30 Fire Hall Rd. I wish there were more pics!
From the website, “The first fire truck was a 1956 Willys Jeep, donated by the Hubbards Fire Department. Due to its limited water tank capacity of 200 gallons, a water tanker was also needed. A 1947 Ford with an oil tank was added to the fleet before year end, this also being donated from the Hubbards department. Records show that a new portable pump was purchased for $600.95 with monies raised by door to door canvassing, raffles, and bake sales. Additional equipment was purchased to outfit the new department and to make modifications to the old school house building to house the “new” trucks. With the support of a community, the men of the department answered a total of eight alarms their first year, all of which were fires.”
UPDATE: Was $6900. **SOLD**

A little bondo and you’ll be back on the road .. lol
“1953 cj-3b for parts or complete rebuild. You part out. Runs great, complete jeep. Selling to first buyer with cash in hand and a trailer to haul it off. This jeep was being towed when I rolled both vehicles. Please drive by and take a look.. Wheels, tires, and top that are on the vehicle do not go with sale (I have originals, although bent).”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
(05/19/2010) This looks good and has a PTO, but needs some work.
“PRICE REDUCED $2500 1953 Willy’s CJ3B “High Hood” Consider trade for a enclosed trailer w/ clean appearance, tandem axle w/ side door, 7×14 Fun Jeep to drive and regret that I have to sell it. First year of the 3B! This Jeep is a small project that needs a engine and seats. The 283 is removed(it could be included but in need of repair or replacement to a similar chevrolet engine) It also needs the old seat frames recovered or replaced (through the Kaiser catalog) and a section of exhaust pipe between the rams head exhaust to muffler exchanged(from a muffler shop) The hood, grill and tailgate are repainted. I replaced the shocks and included is a new powdercoated gas tank(It is not installed) It has some original parts such as the stock vacum operated windsheild wiper motor, offset axles, transmission, transfer case and a extremely rare power take off for farming implements on the rear of the Jeep. Also the front tow bar is refabed for a 2″ ball. Handles flat tow very nicely. The soft top is in good shape with the rear section needing to be replaced(likely from a boat shop) Additional parts included are the front and rear entire axle assembly including tie rods, transmission, transfer case, and partially completed half doors. Jeep sits on 28″ wild country radials w/ aluminum rims. With a little bit of work, this could be a whole lotta fun. Great chance for someone to own a rare PTO Willys CJ3B that is a unique conversation peice. Oregon title”
