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 .
This looks solid.

UPDATE: This is now on eBay. Though there are now more pics, none of the pics show the rear.
(07/25/2010) None of the pictures shows the rear. The passenger side rear appears to show some damage/rust at the edge of the picture.
“Attention collector’s, Willys fans, or farmers…runs great! Use 2WD or 4WD. Body has some rust on floor. Side steps and floormats included. Spare tire mount damage but can be straightened. Windshield intact and works, wipers, hood, headlights, seats, seat belts, etc. all good. No top.”

“This is a 1959 Willys CJ3B. I don’t know the history it was a trade for some work. The jeep belongs to a friend of mine this is all he knows about this vehicle. The previous owner purchased the jeep in 1968 and had the body work done and the engine rebuilt at some time. The jeep runs fine and everything works! 4 wheel drive hi and low. I have not checked out the wench to see if it works but will check it out and update you as to my findings. The jeep is located in Hollister CA and needs to be picked up or driven home from here.”
This was stored in a garage for several decades.
“1963 CJ3B Willys Jeep. This is a 2 owner jeep. It was stored in a garage from 1983 until 6 months ago. It has had a face lift and full tune up and now runs and looks great. 35,000 original miles.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3999.
The mileage seems a bit low. Also, this VIN doesn’t seem correct.
“Mileage: 8,600 – Body Style: SUV – Exterior Color: Green – Interior Color: Black – VIN: 4J34149 – Engine: 4 Cylinders – Transmission: Manual – Drivetrain: 4WD – Doors: 2
Selling Points: Great truck to drive to the local ice house!Driven very little last 8 years. In last 4-5 years major portions of the vehicle rebuilt or replaced:-Electrical system reworked-Brake system rebuilt/replaced-Fuel pump, fuel tank, fuel lines replaced. (Now has electric fuel pump).No A/C, but the windsheild can be lowered on those hot Texas days. This has been a great vehicle, but I drive it very little and it should be in a home where it is used.
Condition: It runs better now than it has in years due to the major fuel system and brake system work that has been done. However, the paint is faded and peeling. The tires will need to be replaced soon.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6100.
(06/29/2010) This looks pretty good.
“Runs sounds great rebuilt motor.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(12/31/09) It needs some work, but appears pretty solid.

UPATE: Price dropped to $3400
(06/19/2010) This appears pretty stock, except for the engine..

(11/09/09) This is Non Running at the moment. Otherwise, this jeep looks pretty solid. Note that it has the Hudson Steering Modification. The old top looks good.
“A very clean 1957 Jeep CJ-3B. It stopped running in 1976 and was garage kept from 1977 until about 2005. Currently it is stored under a quality, breathable car cover in a relatively dry climate. It is in the same condition as it was when it came out of storage in 2005. As it sits it has a non-running Buick 198 V6, T90 transmission and Dana 18 transfer case with a Warn overdrive. It also has a PTO winch, factory Jeep Whitco soft top, 11″ brakes and Hudson steering. My intent was to try to restore it to it’s condition as it was in the ’70s with a few upgrades. The new, uninstalled parts included with the Jeep are a Buick 225 V6 (it still needs balance and assembly), Performance Distributor HEI, Advance Adapters motor mounts. Superlift/Black Diamond suspension, 5 BF Goodrich mud terrain KOs on 16″ white spoke wheels. A new factory hood and windshield frame (the AMC dealer labels are still on them!) It also has 7 Norseman Armstrong tires, they are in very good condition and have collectible value. Serious inquiries only. Will not separate any parts. Please call Jason at 720.940.3620. Thanks!”

(04/01/2010) This looks like a nice jeep.

I can’t quite tell, but there might be a rear PTO on this.

The seller notes this is “rust free” and has “0 rust”. But, I’m pretty sure surface rust counts as rust?? But if it runs and drives well, it looks like a good price.
“This is a 63 or 64 CJ3B for sale. It has a strong motor that has a rebuilt carb, new tune up, updated electircal,new brakes all around, new oil and brand new windshield. Drives and stops like a jeep tires should be replaced but still can be used for driving around town.

Shifts thru all gears great, 4 wheel drive works high and low. needs front running lights and one right rear. solid RUST FREE jeep!!!!

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
These don’t appear very often. I’m not sure how easy, or not, they are to import into the US.
“This is a no-reserve auction for a super rare 1977 Mitsubishi Willys Jeep J54 Diesel right hand drive in Immaculate condition. It has a professionally installed dual tank fuel system which means it can run on diesel or vegetable oil. The system was professionally installed and runs exceptionally well. The Jeep also has new TA’s with less than a 1000 miles. The title is clear and clean. No rips or tears in the seats. No dents or body damage. Runs and drives excellent. Bikini top and doors included.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
(05/16/2010) These aren’t too common and this one looks nice. I think this is as good of price as you’ll find.
“This is a one of a kind! Mitsubishi right hand drive. This jeep was made in Japan. Street legal, with current tags and clean title. Good shape, runs great. F134 motor 4 cylinder. Great jeep for hunting & fishing in the back country. Brand new 8,000 lb electric winch. Half and full tops. 5 mud terrain tires with less than 1000 miles on them. Off road lights, 2 front and 1 rear. Three speed. If you want a 16 foot car trailer with it, add another $1,000 to price.”
This looks pretty good. I don’t think I’ve seen hubcaps quite like that.
“1963 Jeep Willys, 30246 miles showing on odemeter, drove very little needs some restoring, has new gas tank, rebuilt carb. and motor has been rebuilt has about 2500 miles on it. contact # 704-692-7054 or text. $5000 or BO.”

UPDATE: Still Available.
(06/02/2010) It’s all apart. Looks like mostly surface rust.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1750.
“For sale is a 1953/1954 Jeep Willys CJ-3B $1750 obo. Motor runs very strong for original engine. The 4WD does not work but the Jeep still drives well. The body is in rough shape. This Jeep would make a great restoration project or hunting/farm vehicle. Included in the sale is a tow bar and trailer lights for towing.”
This looks nice. I’m not sure where West Magic Reservoir is.
“This is one great jeep. It is all original, four cylinder newly re-built engine, new suspension, new tires, new fuel pump, new brakes. No cracks in glass, It’s clean, runs great, looks great. Have to sell, but firm on price. If you know your Willys, you’ll love this one.”
http://twinfalls.craigslist.org/cto/1780162116.html
This is pretty rough, but is a no reserve auction.
“1962 Willy Jeep for restoration. I believe it is a CJ3B flat finder, high hood. It has a clear title and ran before it was put in storage. The transmision and four wheel drive were all working how ever the motor is now stuck. Body has rust and a few holes but the mount and frame are good. The floor board has only a few small holes but the bottom of the bed is gone. The top is good and it has doors as well. Most of the glass is bad or gone. I put lub in the cyclinders and I’m sure you can get the motor to run.There is no reserve and must be paid for at end of sale and pick up with in 30 days Thanks.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a good looking CJ-3B. The seller provides a nicely detailed description. The drain holes have been filled in.
“Here is a very nice 1953 Willys CJ-3B that is roadworthy. I run errands in it frequently. I have the title in my name so no drama there. The Jeep is still mostly original with the Hurricane engine and T-90 transmission, both of which work great. The engine starts right up hot or cold, no smoke and is very smooth. I’ve had the Jeep for two years, and from what I’ve been told by the previous owner, the Jeep was totally refurbished 12 years ago. I have no reason to doubt that. The paint still has some shine but there are some surface rust spots. There is also rust on the drivers side support for the fender. Also some rust on a cross member under the tub near the rear wheel wells. Since I’m in the disclosing mode, the only gauges that are hooked up are the temperature gauge and the oil pressure gauge. The odometer works but the speedometer has a broken needle. The ampere meter and the gas gauge are not hooked up and will be good things for a “to do” list. The seats are not original and in pretty bad shape under the seat covers, but they look okay. The emergency brake cable needs to be replaced….”
UPDATE: SOLD ! An ewillys reader purchased this one.
Given the passenger side indents, I’d say this is a pretty new body.
“1953 Willys/Jeep CJ3B Complete frame up restoration .New tub, new soft top,Warn overdrive,12 volt,11″ front brakes. This is a fun vehicle to drive,motor runs excellent.”
