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 .
No title. It runs. Has OD.

“NO TITLE; 4 cyl; 3 speed with over drive; runs”
This jeep was upgraded with a few chrome elements.

“1953 Willys Jeep runs and drives”
The body has some rust, but there could be some value here.

“1960 CJ3B Does not run. I do have the title. Was parked because cow damaged the wiring. Had marvel mystery oil put in the cylinders. Body in rough shape. Willing to trade preferably for a military trailer. Will consider other trades. Engine and drive train intact. You must be able to pick up and transport from my location.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1500.
The ad is titled “1951 CJ-3B”. The lift strategy on the stand-alone chassis is unusual.

“no title, 2 jeeps for parts, 1 has body-needs work, excellent front clip that we have stored in barn, grill hood, fenders, n windshield frame also stored in barn. Bell housing for v8 conversion, bell housing for orig 4cyl, engines need rebuild, i restored a 1949 cj3a willies from ground and know whats entailed, have no desire
to do again. Good father and son project. Asking $1800 cash or best offer.”
This has an odd dash setup. I **think** someone has taken a replacement tub and added a custom taller cowl over the original cowl to turn it into a 3Bish tub.

“1960 Willys CJ3B T90 Trans V6 Runs good My father owned this for about 30 years. Used for hunting and around town. This was towed up to Maine every year”
Listed as a 1961, the lack of a stamped hood got me thinking. Checking the serial number revealed this is actually a mid-1963 CJ-3B, so the non-stamped hood could very well be original. No description provided.

Hunting vehicle with raised rear seat.
https://ocala.craigslist.org/cto/d/umatilla-1953-willys-jeep/7219631897.html
“Runs and drives good. Has top and hunter seat that are optional and some extra new parts. Price negotiable”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
This could be a good price. I can’t tell if it was a DJ-3A, CJ-3B or a CJ-5.
“59 Willys, aftermarket Tub, small block chevy, 3 speed manual with 18 case. D 41 rear, 27 front with disc brakes and upgraded linkage. Power steering swap. Runs and drives.

Dont ask if its available. If the add is up, it’s for sale. I’m in the Placerville area. 95667”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5500. IT appears the hardtop is no longer included with the sale.
(10/30/2020) Seller listed this as an “M606 CJ3B”, but I don’t see any M-606 here.
https://bakersfield.craigslist.org/pts/d/bakersfield-willys-53/7235598041.html
“1953 Willys M606/CJ3B. Pink in Hand. Ramsey Winch with PTO. $5500. MILITARY. OFF ROAD. sixsixone NineOneZeroo 4fiveonefivee. Text preferred.”
I believe this body should have a fresh air vent on the passenger cowl for the 1959-and-later heater.

“1954 cj3b Willys Jeep. Almost everything is rebuilt from the bottom up. New body, tub, factory posi in front and rear. 134 f-head with a 3 speed.”
The body looks pretty good overall.

“Early style Willys Jeep CJ3B with 27,000 miles. No title. Tub is in good shape for being original and unrestored. The only rust I can find is under the toolbox which is shown in the pics. Other hat channels appear to be in solid condition. Fender hat channels look good as well. Engine cranks over with a jumper pack. Cylinder #2 appears to have a stuck valve from sitting for so long. Radiator is from an IH of sorts. Transmission shifts in all gears. Tcase shifts in all ranges. Has a new steering wheel.”
Later model 3B with a body that has had, but still needs, attention.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $12,000.
This late model CJ-3B looks nice. The last photo looks like the Yakima area in the background, but the others do not.
https://willysforsale.com/ads/1965-cj-3b/
“1965 CJ-3B is the latest production CJ-3B we know of which was sold domestically in the U.S. It was built in December 1964.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5900.
I believe this is some kind of replacement tub. It also has the advance adapter windshield latches.
“1948 Willys Jeep with 1953 body runs and drives and stops, I have top bows and rear tire carrier. Stock engine and drive train”
Glenn spotted this ad. I agree with him, that there appears to be value here.

“have a 1953 cj3b rebuild motor running chassis new cab. runs great”
This may be a CJ-2A or 3A with a CJ-3B body on it.

“JEEP WILLYS, All original, 4-134 L 4 cylinders, 4 WD, Runs great, Hunting jeep will never get stuck, I bought in 1989 hunting out of it, many deer on the front bumper.”
It looks nice. Given the glove box, this might have a replacement body.
