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 .
This auction occurs September 20, 2013, at Tewksbury Township, NJ. The 3B looks good.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The 3B was used as the model for the ICON.
“When we decided to launch the ICON CJ3B, the first thing we did was search down a 100% original CJ3B. We did this so we could get to know it a bit, and to digitize the complete structure and establish a starting point for our CAD modeling work. We found this truck in central California, where it had been it’s whole life. This little CJ has exceptional integrity. It has been sitting for a few years, but it fired right up and runs and drives. Please do not expect to jump in it and go on an expedition. It stops, starts and runs, but you should plan for some tinkering. Rare PTO winch. Original paint. No rust on the body. Zero modifications other than the cheesy wiper switch and rear tire carrier, which could be removed with ease. Original California black & yellow plates. You will be hard pressed to find a more original CJ3B. You may find a shiny one, but you can never beat an original because what you see is what you get. ICON/TLC is a licensed California dealer. Buyer will need to pay $100 document fee above the winning bid. Out of State buyers must use professional transporter and provide bill of lading to be exempt from Ca sales tax and fees. In State buyers must pay DMV fees and sales tax. This truck is stored at our facility in Chatsworth Ca. You are welcomed to come visit it. Please bid to win, scammers please go away and do not waste your time or mine! Thanks for looking- J I put together this short video to show you more details. Thanks, JW”

(06/28/2012) This is a CJ-3B that the seller is advertising as a M606 clone. It looks fairly solid, though the steps have been patched. Note the the radios are not functional at this time.

Must be sold.
“1953 jeep Willys, 4×4 with Buick 225 v6 engine and Muncie 4 speed Manuel transmission. Runs like a top, new alternator, radiator, battery, tires, clutch, brakes. I’m only selling it so cheap because I PCS in the next 5 months and I absolutely have to get rid of it before then. I’m already selling myself way short for the price, the body itself is probably worth that alone. There’s absolutely no rust on this thing. You won’t find a 1953 body in this good of shape. It might look dirty in the pictures but I urge you to come see for yourself. I live in oceanside, I’d be happy to get you into the base its located at (camp pendleton) if you don’t happen to be military. Call text or email, this thing needs a good home. If I had somewhere I could keep it when I go to Texas I would, but it’s just not in the cards. Willing to negotiate on price within reason.”
