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: Price dropped to $2000.
(05/28/2017) “1958 Willy’s Jeep CJ-3B Navy Department issue. My Dad has owned this Willy’s since 1995 and used it on his property until 2010 and parked it. He never registered it and does not have a title. I does run but will need a new water pump (seized) and fuel pump. The carb. needs to be rebuilt. He has three original wheels. Engine number matches the Willy’s ID plate.”

The body’s had some work done to it.
“1953 CJ3B Willys unfinished project
4 cylinder overhead cam F – Head engine has less than 10 hours run time since complete rebuild by local engine shop. Fully functioning 4WD high and low range. Jeep runs and drives very good. Jeep has original steel grill, hood, firewall, dash, windshield and tailgate. The main body tub was custom built out of 1/8” steel plate(see photos). This thing will not rust out any time soon. Starter and ignition systems have all new wiring. Also included is an Allstate brand aluminum hard top with doors that was originally available for Willy’s from Sears. Except for steel body tub and bucket seats, Jeep has not been modified – all OEM driveline, 6 – volt system, brake system, original gauges, etc.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Could be a good price for the right person. Needs some items.
“All original bumper to bumper and top to bottom. Just had the original starter refurbished and it’s ready to install. I love this jeep but she deserves someone with more time than I have to give. Needs tires , seat covers, and a minor tune-up. It was used only a couple weeks out of each year for deer hunting purposes by previous owner till starter went. Then it sat for a few years till I bought it. Reasonable offers considered but like I already said, I love this JEEP”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $6000.
(07/21/2017) Craig shared this one. Seller wants $6000 for all the jeeps.
“I have 4 Willys Jeeps. ’49, ’60, ’65, & ’69. I have titles to all except the ’69. The ’49 alone is worth the price of entire lot. I want $6,000 for ALL. I will NOT separate at this time! I may sell the ’49 by itself but prefer to sell the whole lot. Please don’t text me asking me for a book of information back and forth. It’s much easier to CALL! I can also help with transport AFTER the deal has been made. I am willing to trade the entire lot up or down for a TJ or JK Jeep. May be interested in other trades but Jeep preferred. I thought I would have time for a few projects but that has changed so I’m selling them all. It would honestly be easier to come in person and check them all out. Missing parts here, extra parts there, etc. PLEASE no calls or texts after 11pm.”
I dare say there is some bondo on the hood. No description provided with the ad.

Not sure how much value is here.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(03/18/2017) “1954 Willys Jeep in all original condition except for the paint job, which is his favorite color. This is my grandpas Jeep and he has owned it for 30+ years. Used primarily for getting some popcorn from the popcorn stand on sundays and taking a drive through town at about 25 mph. Also used for a parade each year as well. He has the original jump seat for the back and the original complete top for it as well. I believe it is a soft top.
He told me it has 11,000 miles on it. I thought it was more like 16,000, but I could be wrong… So it’s either around 11,000, but no more 16,000… And again, all original. Has been well kept and well maintained over the years. However, I don’t think he’s driven it for a few years now due to it getting a little difficult to get in and out of, so it may need to be freshened up a little bit. Always use to start as soon and as quick as you could push the button and always purred like a kitten. Feel free to contact me with questions and or offers and I will pass them on to my grandpa and communicate back to you that way.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3999.
It appears to be a CJ-3B, but it’s listed as a 1950. It also has a CJ-3A windshield. Maybe a mix of parts?
“For sale 1950 jeep willy. currently does not run due to carburetor being dirty. I have not had the time to remove and rebuild. A new carburetor is not to expensive and can be found on multiple websites.”
Listed as a 1952 M-38, it looks more like a CJ-3B. It’s a project.
“1952 willys M38 jeep 4×4 its all complete with the original engine and tranny
And transfer case all Untouched with all the factory body parts she is very solid.
The M38 windshield could be folded flat for firing and the body was equipped with a pintle hook for towing and lifting shackles front and rear. The headlights were no longer recessed as on previous models, but protruded with a guard wire in front. The “pioneer” tools (axe and shovel) which were carried on the MB’s driver side were transferred to the passenger side of this vehicle”

It runs. There could be value here.
“I have a 1950’s Willys Jeep for sale. The motor runs great, smooth, and no smoke. All the electrical needs rewiring, as some of the wires are broken and the insulation is falling off too. The master cylinder is frozen as the brake pedal won’t move and the air cleaner is missing. Also, there is a hand operated plow set up on it, but I do not have the plow itself. There is no paper work with this, but I will include a bill of sale.”
Needs some work.

“I bought this 1953 Willys CJ3B in Georgia back in July and drove it 1600 miles (cruising speed 35mph, 10 plus hours a day) from Georgia back to Boston over the course of 4 days. This jeep is reliable to say the least! From what I know it was owned by an elderly gentleman for the past 20 plus years and kept in his drive in basement. He would use it to drive into town once a week for lunch at the local diner.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This runs, but has some rust.

Has some rust but nothing major.. runs perfectly. 4 wheel drive works excellent.. your welcome to make me a offer.. no title as most states do not require on vehicles of this age.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.

“1960 Jeep Willys CJ-3B with a great running original Hurricane engine. Everything on this Willys is in working order. It is road worthy with a good, clean Pennsylvania title, registration and antique license plates. This vehicle has always been kept in a garage and all aspects of this vehicle are in good or better than good condition except for, the body which needs work (There’s rust in the usual places) and it needs a new fly-wheel which I’ve purchased but not installed.
I purchased the Willys in January 2013 from the estate of its original owner. The original owner’s primary use was to plow his home and business driveways. My primary use was to plow my camp driveway and to pull a 700-pound Disc Harrow and Cultipacker combination unit to plant food plots for hunting. Because of how well this Willys operates I believe it has very low miles on it. The odometer has less than 16,000 miles but, the estate of the original owner wasn’t in a position to certify the mileage on their title transfer.
To my knowledge everything on this Willys is original except for the new parts I installed, which are:
2013: Front & rear brake cylinders, Pinion oil seal, Ignition switch, Muffler & Tail pipe, Tailgate Chains, Gasket set with oil seals, Rebuilt snow plow hydraulic pump, Suspension overhaul – leaf springs, shock absorbers, shackles, bushings, greaseable pivot eye bolts, & U-bolts.
2014: Roll Bar, Bikini Top, Rebuilt & Reupholster original Seats.
2016: Battery cables, Carburetor Rebuild Kit, 4 new 235/75R15 radial MT mud tires.
The Price includes: Door frames (soft covered doors), Frame for soft top, Myers Snow Plow, and Spare parts.”
