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 blueprint looks rare.

Roberto forwarded several links to CJ-3Bs from Vietnam in the 1960s. Interestingly, they all had tool indents. I suspect these are made by Mahindra rather than Willys. Any thoughts?

This J-54 appears in good shape.
“Up for sale is my 1981 cj3b Diesel J54 from Mitsubishi Heavy industries. Willys sold the license to Mitsubishi in 1953 for them to make a version of their much beloved Cj3b. Mitsubishi in turn, made the Jeeps from 1954 up until August of 1998. Willys on the other hand, stopped making the cj3b in 1965 for the American market. This jeep is in really good shape and it has only 36,000 original miles. The engine is the 2.8l 4dr5 inline 4 cylinder diesel and gets extremely good gas mileage…ive gotten a little over 30mpg since i bought it in 2010. It is the right hand drive like postal jeeps but it is really easy to get used to and kinda fun once you get used to it. The diesel engine is very heavy duty and was used all over the world in these jeeps and in Mitsubishi heavy forklifts. Here are some specs….full time hubs, 24 volt waterproof electrical system, D44 for rear diff and d30 for front diff, good approach and departure angles, gear to gear transfer case with a 2.3 low range and 4.77 differential gearing, no computer, no epa smog devices at all, no catalytic converter, no egr valve, no pcv valve, and no carburetor to adjust. The jeep cranks better than anything that i own and i attribute that to the 24 volt system and the power it throws to spin the starter. I really dont want to sale the jeep but other things are pressing and it is time for someone else to enjoy it.. . more info on craigslist.
HOG spotted this CJ-3B out of Canada. Check out the gas inlet. It doesn’t look stock to me. I suspect this is an aftermarket body given the tool indents.
“Must sell my 1961 Jeep willys, runs very well, all original, Engine, transmission, gauges, interior, etc.
***$19,999.00 or OBO***”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
(02/24/2013) There seems to be some value. Unclear if the engine runs.
“1953 Willys Jeep CJ-3B. Original complete drivetrain including F4-134, the Willys 4-cyl F-head 134 cid engine.
Frame rear crossmember recently replaced. Frame is ready for cleanup and paint. Most of the body tub is gone.
Fenders are rough, grille is perfect, hood is good but a little bent. Windshield frame is in good shape, but glass is broken. Tailgate is badly bent, but salvagable.
Comes with original tires and rims and 2nd set of oversize tires on white wagon wheel rims. Also brand new replacement fuel tank as shown. I have MA title to the Jeep.”
It appears to have some light surface rust. It includes a snow plow.
“I just rebuilt the motor, two weeks ago,

Nice CJ-3B for the price. I doubt it will last long. It’s got an engine and tranny upgrade.

“Complete with all parts except engine, windshield frame and seats. Body and under chassis is in good condition. Good project car.”
Eric forwarded this, wondering if this came with matching seats! The seller indicates he “knows what I have” yet doesn’t seem to know he has a CJ-3B.
