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 $5500.

“Was bought as the body, but my grandfather spent a couple of years working on it. He is no longer able to get in and out of it. It has a 4.3 GMV6 engine, new leaf springs, new differential, new tires, power steering, tilt steering wheel, hubs, bucket seats, new tie rods, new shocks, and an aftermarket 14 gallon gas tank. Only needs a gas gauge sending unit.”
The seller doesn’t mention it, but this appears to have a replacement body.

“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.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3500.
This will need some parts and work.

“1948-50 Willys Jeep. Does not run, No title”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4000.
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 “high Hood” has a Ford 302 V8 everything else is original. Runs and drives but it is a project. I drive it local and have taken it hunting several times. Good little jeep but I don’t have time to finish it right.”

“954 JEEP CJ3B LL BODY —-HAS RUN WITHIN THE LAST 4 YEARS, BUT NEEDS A BREAK JOB AND SOME TLC. MOSTLY STOCK AS BEST AS I CAN TELL, HAS CHROME WHEELS WITH DECENT TIRES. ROLL BAR AND LOCKOUT HUBS. I WOULD SAY THE CONDITION IS GOOD CONSIDERING THE AGE COMBINATION WITH THE MECHANICAL WORK. PHOTOS KIND OF TELL THE STORY.
COMES WITH AN OFF ROAD STYLE JACK. MILEAGE IS UNKNOWN. VEHICLE IS STORED UNDER OPEN CAR PORT.
OWNER HAD LOVINGLY REPAIRED AND WORKED TO GET INTO FULL CONSISTENT RUNNING CONDITION, I KNOW I WAS OCCASIONALLY A NON-MECHANICAL HELPER. I PERSONALLY HAVE RIDEN WITH OWNER WHEN WE USED IT FOR HUNTING THE ROUGH BACK ROADS, SO I KNOW SHE HAS DEFINITELY RUN. JUST BEEN SITTING FOR A COUPLE YEARS WAITING FOR THE BREAK JOB TO BE FINISHED.
THERE ARE PARTS THAT COME WITH THE VEHICLE.
Vehicle has clear and clean title in hand.
HOWEVER AND UNFORTUNATELY THE OWNER PASSED FROM CANCER AND HIS WIDOW IS NOT A MECHANIC EITHER. I AM LISTING THIS FOR HER”
This may be a good price. Paint has been brushed onto it.

“1953 willys high hood cj3b in good condition. My grandpa wanted to get rid of it and told me if I sell it I could use the money towards college. It looks amazing in the photos but it does have flaws. My grandpa painted it with a brush in his garage this bright red and then painted the bumpers and such black. Has some runs in it and isn’t the best but looks better than it did. Has some rust but isn’t the worst. Besides that it runs great, runs smooth. Has decent 33s and a spare also. Comes with winch and a flat tow. I’m no jeep guy so if your really interested you can come take a look”
