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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 $3000.
“I have a 61 willy’s Cj-3B for sale. Runs and drives with original hurricane engine. minimal rust on frame and body, restoration started(new windshield frame, oak blocks pivot bolts). I do not have the time or energy to start another project so this jeep has to go.”
UPDATE: Was $4500. **Status Unknown**
Runs and drives.
“This is an early flat fendered Willys Jeep. Primitive and reliable. The CJ-3B has a higher hood to allow clearance for the overhead valve F-134 motor (early CJ-2s and WW2-type Jeeps had flat head motors). This is the 2nd CJ-3B I have owned. It runs and drives fine. It has an overdrive unit, and while it is not too smart to drive an old Jeep fast, it will do 65 mph. About two years ago, we replaced the entire braking system – master cylinder, wheel cylinders, drums shows, brake lines and silicone brake fluid – and installed an electronic distributor for reliability. The windshield has a crack, so it will need a new one. This Jeep is not perfect, but starts for me every time, and is generally very solid for a 60 year old Jeep. I have an after market tailgate and a few other small parts. Tires old, but have tread and hold air. I have a file of receipts that indicate extensive mechanical rebuilds in the ’80s – and not many miles since then according to previous owner. I have owned the Jeep for about 7 years.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
There’s value here, but the amount certainly depends on if these run or not.
“The orange jeep is a 1964 CJ3B and the black jeep is a 1953 CJ3B. Will sell together separate or trade for a newer running jeep. Any questions or offers call Alan.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was at an auction.
This looks like a nice ex-fire jeep.
“Military Willys Jeep. 1953 CJ38. VIN#4J19709. Ran when taken out of service. Not started for this auction listing. AS IS, WHERE IS. Auction sale final after reserve is met.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(06/18/2014) It looks like the side panels near the seats have been cut.
“1953 CJ-3B Willys good driver, body not rusted out, 15″ Goodyears, original rebuilt “Hurricane” engine, new brake lines and brakes, Saturn Overdrive, quite a few extra parts including a pair of quarter panals”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,000.
There are a few minor things needing repair.
“Never hought I would do this but my 1953 Willys Jeep CJ-3B is for sale. Solid original Jeep from central Florida, not the rusted out junk you usually see. I bought this when I lived in FL in 1991 and drove it all over there. In fact, the in-plant parking sticker from Tropicana is still on the front bumper. Drove it for 2 or three years before moving north again and have not driven it on the road since, just around my last two places in the woods. It has an Indiana title. Still has the 6-volt system and original gauges, etc. The front seats were re-upholstered in a dark burgundy very high quality vinyl with new foam. I still have the very rare rear seat in the original color but can direct you to the place that did the front seats. It needs some detail things taken care of but nothing major and it is not some POS rat trap. Just things like the tail light lens is broken, speedo cable broke three or four years ago when I went out in the bad ice storm in front of the house to help get cars over the hill, wiper is not connected and stuff like that.
This was the first year for the engine, which is the F Head with the overhead valves on the intake and in block exhaust valves. I believe it was used in the CJ5 until 1965. Parts are not a problem. “
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3000.
(06/06/2014) It runs and drives. Not too far from me.
“1953 Willy’s. Has all the original parts. The original, F head 134 motor has been rebuilt and runs good. All original drivetrain. IT RUNS AND DRIVES !!! Needs paint but, you can still see the original traces of the air force blue. Perfect for a restoration into a ww2/korea army jeep. Ihave all the original parts that have been replaced in the photos.”

This looks good.
“Restored jeep cj3b. Almost everything newly redone. Original 4 cylinder engine runs great! Only driven in summer when weather and roads are good. $7,000. I have the original hardtop that it came with all doors etc., but those have not been redone”

No title, but looks solid.
“It is in good condition, needs some work. No title.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000
4WD doesn’t operate. It’s listed as a M-38A1.
“1952 Willys M38A1 military jeep. Excellent condition. Perfect for shows, parades, and display. New fuel pump, new starter. Includes top canvas and side curtains. 4-wheel drive does not operate.”
