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: **SOLD** Was $5000
This looks like a real good price and a great PNW jeep. It includes 2 spae engines and a warn OD. The front springs have been reversed.

(06/29/2013) It might not be at “factory specs”, but it’s got a repro body and appears solid.

Some body work required.

This runs. It has a winch. And contrary to what the seller says, this doesn’t have a 3A tub.

No pics provided.

It hasn’t run in 25 years, but there might be some value here.
“This is a complete 1953 Willy’s CJ3B. I bought it intending to restore it, but never got to it. It has all original differentials, transfer case transmission and engine. The differentials and transfer case are in good order. The engine ran 25 years ago when someone last drove the vehicle. The top of the transmission had been removed and the inside is very rusted. Likely the transmission needs replaced. The body is pretty good. The back part of the tub where the back seat sits is rusted. There is surface rust in other places. The vehicle is rough, but restorable, and almost all there.
Asking 1200.00 or best offer. Might consider a trade, but would prefer cash.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was priced at $3900
(07/29/2013) The sides panels have been replaced, so this likely had rust at one time. It looks solid from a distance.

(07/18/2013) This looks usable.
“Decent tub fairly solid and all there. Would be good for a wheeler or even to fix up. It is a cj3b high hood.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1200
(09/16/2013) The engine is stuck. I’m not sure if this means it is frozen or just not working.
“Needs Work, Engine Stuck have Gasket set for engine to tear down & rebuild. Body has some rusted out areas. was told it was running when set up. Need the money but would maybe trade for the Right thing. My # 318-723-4287 Home & 318-267-2956 Cell I’ll try to put pictures on here , if not give me your # i’ll text them to you.”

There might be some parts value given the intact drive train.
