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: Still Available
(09/15/2010) This looks good, but the bottom of the driver’s side of the body doesn’t quite look straight. I’m not sure if there is a rail along the bottom, a little indent or what it is or just a photo issue.

“1960 Willys CJ-3B; IN GOOD SHAPE; RUNS GREAT; ”
UPDATE: Mathew noted this is still for sale.
(06/22/2010) This looks pretty nice, though something unusual has been done to the hood. There are 2 bolts/rivets on both sides of the hood that seem to warp it slightly. There is also a motor issue.
“Real nice old jeep. was restored about 10 years ago. Body is in great shape… didn’t require any patchwork. Interior was PROFESSIONALLY Rhino Lined. Not the cheap imitation stuff. Completely new wiring harness, 12 volt. New Gauges. New seats, new upholstery, new rear seat. New Tires. All new switches. New brakes, New heater. No expense spared. Everything was gone through, and it has less than 5000 miles on it since completion. Needs some motor work / new motor depending on how handy you are. An exhaust seat let loose on the number 3 cylinder. Didn’t do any damage to the motor, but it needs a new one pressed in. I’m not handy enough, nor do I have the time to do the work. Top end is off the motor. Winch not included. Comes with a rollbar, new bikini top.”

Jeep Number 3 is a 1965 CJ-3B, based on the serial numbers from the CJ-3B Page, and not a CJ-3A as listed by the seller.
“Jeep Number 1: CJ5 – Blue, no title, no VIN tag or data plate, no axles, no engine, just a body. Most likely late ’70’s.
Jeep Number 2: CJ2A – Red, no title, no VIN tag or data plate, complete with engine but missing crank. Both axles, complete running gear. Most likely around 1947 due to round recessed turn signals.
Jeep Number 3: CJ3A – Red, no title, VIN: 8105 118510 – complete with engine. Both axles, complete running gear. Most likely around 1949.
Jeep Number 4: CJ2A – Yellow/Green, no title, VIN: 60979 – complete with engine (engine has been removed) Both axles, complete running gear (transfer case in bed). Most likely around 1946.
I will throw in additional axles, driveshafts, motor, and a couple transfer cases…”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
The paint doesn’t look very good. It’s got a nice old hard top.
“1953 Willys CJ3B with original hard top. Not a mail jeep! It is not running but does have complete drive train.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
“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 overhead valve 4 cylinder motor and lots of parts. It has a Warn model 3329 “All Range” overdrive.I only put one picture on here.

“

http://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/1906707393.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
“Yellow, only 32167 Miles, Original parts perfect condition, new tires and transmission, seats are being replaced soon, will sell as is if requested.

(Same as picture other than seats and rims.) stored in Heber, AZ but willing to ship anywhere between there and San Antonio, TX. Please allow a week for shipment. Willing to sell OBO, very flexible on price.”
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.”
