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. This has been for sale for over a year.
Looks like a good price.

“Clean WV Title. Has been vin inspected in KS. I didn’t get the title in KS because I’d have to register it. 1956 CJ3B. Gone through, not restored. Runs. Compression was 100-115 #4 being the lowest. Rebuilt carb. Tub is welded back together and solid, not pretty at all lots of new parts. Frame is good front to back. Needs a drivers seat and brakes all the way around. Transmission, high and low and 4×4 works as it should, but i haven’t driven it too far or fast as there are no brakes. New gas tank 5 new tires/tubes as of 4 months ago New gauges Fuel line is needs installed new radiator and hoses new battery new wipers w/motor New windshield Spare rim”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3500.
Runs and drives, but is a project. The “top” or cover looks to be made of fiberglass. I don’t know if this was a one-off or not, but I could see this being popular with the folks jeeping in the desert back in the day (much lighter than a Muller Top for example).

“1953 Willys CJ3b flatfender project. I have owned this project for about 10 years. It was purchased with no title. It was bought by a friend for parts and then i got it from him. Body is pretty solid for a 1953. It had a v8 it looks like. I found the original mounts for the stock F134. They will need to be welded in. I have a block installed for fitment. The Willys has the original Trans and transfer case installed. Missing the 2 driveshafts. I was told it Has an upgraded steering box and bigger brakes. I have fenders they are not mounted. Grill is not mounted. The rims and tires are loaners from a friend that i will have to return. I have some rollers to load. This is a project vehicle. Sold as is with no paperwork. It had tags on it so it was registered at some point in its life. Has california id tag on firewall. Great project for offroading or Rockcrawling. I am open to offers.”
