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: Still Available. This is probably a CJ-3B body on a 3A frame, but could be a 3B with an incorrect title. If not those two, then who knows.
Looks like a good price.
“Restoration project. Brakes, transmission good. Small dents in body. Solid frame. Runs good. New paint. title.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
“I have a 61 willy’s Cj-3B for sale. Runs and drives with original hurricane engine. minimal rust on frame and body, restoration started(new windshield frame, oak blocks pivot bolts). I do not have the time or energy to start another project so this jeep has to go.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.
A CJ-3B body has been adapted onto a CJ-5 chassis. The grill has been extended several inches to compensate for the longer frame.
“1972 CJ5 Frame and running gear. CJ3A body and AMC Javilin 401 cu in engine with fenderwell headers, holley 500 carb, torq cam. Has front and rear fuel tanks. Runs but needs tuneup.”

James forwarded this gem of an ad. Looks like there are military and civilian jeeps for sale here.
“I recently purchased an estate of Willy’s CJ Jeeps and Parts, and I think I am ready to see if anyone needs parts or project vehicles. Mostly vintage with many early Willy’s CJ2A’s in complete condition and various stages. I have tubs also, some even bead blasted and ready to go. Looks like a fair amount of CJ5 and possibly early CJ7 as well. Look at the photos, that will give you an idea, most of the vehicles with wheels have complete drive trains. There are many loose front ends, rear ends, transmissions, and engine parts, as well as body parts.”
UPDATE: Was $2500. **SOLD**
(04/07/2014) This includes a Warn Overdrive. The seller has a truck for sale, too.

Has title. Has dualmatic hubs, so there’s a little value there.
“1952 Willys jeep for sale. The jeep does have a title with it. It is rough, but could be a project or a parts vehicle for someone. The jeeps come with an additional axle and tow hitch. I believe it has a Ford Falcon six cylinder in it now. It did start at one time, but has not been started for four years. I will accept all reasonable offers.”
http://carbondale.craigslist.org/cto/4571237787.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
This shouldn’t last long. Has a flathead motor for some reason.
“This is a 1953 MB this jeep spent its life going up-and-down a local hill in Porterville it has the rare dual rear wheel axle put in by dealer at time of purchase that 134 which is the flatbed turns but does not ignite I believe needs new coil I have not tested it yet the tub of the jeep rear corners are in rough shape see picture $1500.00 OBO”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
Needs master cylinder at the very least.
“Everything on this jeep is the original Willys parts with exception of the front seats. Currently the vehicle is being parked and covered until sold.
It does have a HARD top! and It does run but would need a master cylinder.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
‘Dirty George’ is a fun looking 3B that was an ex ice racer.

“1954 Willys Jeep CJ-3B – Complete ground up restoration in 1996. Engine rebuilt at that time, including hardened valve seats for unleaded fuel. Still has the original oil bath air cleaner. Upgraded to 11″ drums all around. Has 2-1/2″ springs on it with 31X 10.5 tires 75+% tread. Full size spare. All stock running gear, 5-38 gearing with lock-right locker in the rear. Has custom fully welded Bumpers front and rear both with 2″ receivers. Rear bumper includes spare tire mount. Also added power steering. Locker, bumpers and power steering work was done around 1998. Jeep was used regularly (every – other weekend or so) from 1996 through 2000. Since 2000 it has been started and driven very little. I replaced the fuel tank and installed a new optima red top battery within the last year. It does need a good tune-up, but everything is working. This is a very clean rust free jeep. We are coming up on 20 years that this Jeep has been in our family and it has always been garaged. “
Looks like a parts jeep.
“1953 willy jeep cj3b has title. Good for parts or restoration. The engine transmission and drivetrain are all free nothing is seized, solid frame. $600 or best offer”
http://poconos.craigslist.org/cto/4566782462.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $900.
Doesn’t run, but still appears to be a good price.
“This is a cool little willys high hood .It does have some rust issues on the back half around the tailgate and corner panels.It has a sears aftermarket top from the 1960’s no doors .cool little untouched body and under the hood and inside drivers area looks real good.motor and tyranny are here but not in running condition but original. I do have the pink slip and all vehicle badges, all original rims”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900
(06/04/2014) It’s listed as a ’48, but the body is clearly a 3B.
“1948 Willys Jeep
I have owned the Jeep for several years and used it around our ranch, never abused, always stored inside. The tires are almost new, I had the driver’s seat recovered last year and just maintained it the way it should be. The reason for selling the Jeep is our need for a UTV, otherwise we would keep it. The brakes need some work, master cylinder. Almost rust free. For the year and never totally restored it’s in great shape. It’s not perfect !!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1300.
(06/22/2014) No title.
“1956 Willys Jeep CJ3 ‘Hi Hood” 4 cyl. 3 speed 4×4 hi lo 6 volt complete not running ,needs Tune up ,battery . Bill of Sale”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500
The only photo is of the CJ-2A. There’s a CJ-3A and MB parts jeep, too.
“I have decided to get out of the old Jeep hobby and sell all of my remaining vehicles and parts. I will attempt to sell everything to one buyer first and if no singe buyer emerges I will list everything separate.
I have:
1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A,
L-134 flathead 4 cylinder with less than 2000 miles on rebuild, Solex carb, Petronix ignition and 12 volt conversion. T90/18 trans and transfer case, Dana 44 rear. Body was taken off frame and repaired with pop riveted sheet metal. Floor boards and hat channels were replaced along with tool compartment floor. The Jeep is not original in anyway but is period correct. Nothing on this Jeep came on a 1946 Jeep. The windshield frame is off a 1942 GPW, the hood off a 49, body tub somewhere around 1950, engine is late 40’s or early 50’s, transfer case and transmission are earlier pieces with equal length handles, etc. It has been rebuilt dozens of times over its life.
Paint is rattle can and looks like it, but the body is very solid.
New gauges except fuel, no fuel gauge in vehicle. Tail lights are new and headlights and marker lights work. No turn signals, horn, or wipers. No top.
The description makes it sound real good, but the picture doesn’t seem so flattering.
“All metal body, original dash, custom floorboard, boxed in frame-crossmembers – built in lift kit. 1969 ford 302 11 1/2 compression solid lifter edelbrock manifold scattershield rack n pinion steering Dana transfer case Dana 44 front end disc brakes Dana 60 rear 456 gears Holley carb top loader tranny hurst shifter fuel cell – glass – 31 inch tires roll cage .. $5000 or OBO”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500
“Willys 3B.
All there with custom paint.
Engine fire took its toll. Carb melted. Distributor destroyed.
Was running when caught fire. Gear boxes protected by bucket.
Great donor vehicle. I have many parts unique to these vehicles.
Call to see if I have what you are looking for.”
UPDATE: Was $4500. **Status Unknown**
Runs and drives.
“This is an early flat fendered Willys Jeep. Primitive and reliable. The CJ-3B has a higher hood to allow clearance for the overhead valve F-134 motor (early CJ-2s and WW2-type Jeeps had flat head motors). This is the 2nd CJ-3B I have owned. It runs and drives fine. It has an overdrive unit, and while it is not too smart to drive an old Jeep fast, it will do 65 mph. About two years ago, we replaced the entire braking system – master cylinder, wheel cylinders, drums shows, brake lines and silicone brake fluid – and installed an electronic distributor for reliability. The windshield has a crack, so it will need a new one. This Jeep is not perfect, but starts for me every time, and is generally very solid for a 60 year old Jeep. I have an after market tailgate and a few other small parts. Tires old, but have tread and hold air. I have a file of receipts that indicate extensive mechanical rebuilds in the ’80s – and not many miles since then according to previous owner. I have owned the Jeep for about 7 years.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
(04/28/2014) Doesn’t run. Might not be a bad price if the body is as solid as it appears.
“I purchased this Jeep with the intentions of getting it running. I have too many projects so this one needs to go. The Jeep appears to be complete with the addition of a later model Chrysler alternator. I’ll post under hood photos once the wind stops blowing.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
“Original Hurricane Engine
blue
soft top
roll bar
Will forward more pictures if interested”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $10,750.
(05/09/2014) Seller has restored this CJ-3B that served in South Korea.
“1964 CJ3B US Army Jeep used in Korea by the 8th Armored Division. Sold as decommissioned surplus. I found it in 2003 and did a full restoration on it frame up. The decision was made to restore it as the guys might do in the field. We left the body welds and repairs mostly as they were. It’s been completely gone over from tires, brakes, lines, cables, complete engine rebuild. It has the original engine, transmission, gear boxes. The steering box was swapped for a rebuilt one. Really neat Jeep.
A detailed facebook page with tons of photos is available upon request.”
http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/cto/4545631365.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
There’s value here, but the amount certainly depends on if these run or not.
“The orange jeep is a 1964 CJ3B and the black jeep is a 1953 CJ3B. Will sell together separate or trade for a newer running jeep. Any questions or offers call Alan.”
The large speedometer has been replaced by a speaker.
“1963 Willys Jeep
Rebuilt engine, new tire, new top, new seats, new fuel tanks, runs “
