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 to an eWillys reader.
This looks like a solid, stock CJ-3B.
“This 1961 Willys Jeep has the following features;
• 27,000 miles – Low, Low Miles
• 4 Wheel Drive
• Warren Hubs
• All Stock
• Tall Hood (OHV)
This great jeep was owned by a local Ford dealer for hunting at his Tahoe cabin.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800
This has a unique heater/blower installed.
“For Sale or Trade. $3800.00, will trade for CJ,WRANGLER, YJ, let me know what you have, this CJ3B does have a clear Tx. title and is currently registered, runs good. Looking for a better daily driver.”
There’s some value here.
“I have a 53 Willys Jeep CJ3B frame with axles, engine, trany, and dana 18 transfer intact(not sure if engine runs hasn’t been ran in years). I have some other misc. parts that go with it. I bought this as a project and I got it stripped down and it got forgot about in the barn. I DO NOT have the tub for it. I DO NOT have the title but I have the original name plate. A Builders title should be able to be completed. Email me with any questions. $200.00 OBO.”

UPDATE: Was $1500. **SOLD**
“I have a Willys project for you!
It is either up for sale or trade.
Call or text with questions or an offer.
I am intersted in all things that have a motor.”
It runs and drives and is a mish mash of parts. You don’t often see a CJ-2A windshield on a CJ-3B body. And that hood, what’s up with it? It’s just wrong.
“1947 willys jeep the title says cj2….flat 4 cyl twin stick transfer case 4 speed starts runs and drives and stops and the stock tires even hold air….the tub is pretty rough and has been plated and welded ….the lights and signals work….clean title and a tub of extra parts and a service manual is a running project 1700”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
(06/05/2012) No title.
“1952 willys jeep 4X4, Motor good, needs starter and battery, for the right trade I will fix. Would like to get a nice larger farm 4 wheeler, UTV, or pair of smaller four wheelers, but will consider anything. Will have to file for lost title to drive on the road. I used it on my farm. Excellent for hunting or mudding. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800.
This might be a good price. Unusual approach to a roll bar.
“1953 Jeep Willis – 4×4 4 cylinder – Black with aluminum wheels – Runs and drives, needs a new head gasket. We have title and vin plate.”
UPDATE: **SOLD*** Was $1900
(07/15/2012) I believe this runs? It also has a bed extender. While it looks like it is missing the tailgate, Leo noted that tailgate is still there, just under the extender.
“1953 CJ3A Willys Hight Hood , farm model, Mfd. half cab, box extension, snowplow. Recent overhaul. Body is rusty, Great for parts or restoration, No Title, former owner is still looking but has not produced it at this time, therefore sold as salvage. $1900.00 , I have no more time for any projects,Will trade for items of interest.

Looks like a solid CJ-3B.
“fter much thought and prayer I’ve decided to put my Jeep up for sale.I’m the third owner and have known this Jeep since new.It belonged to my Uncle’s neighbor,he bought it new,he was old in the 70’s when I was kid.I lost track of it for a while, but it turned out didn’t go to far and i got to buy it. I’ve owned it fifteen years and had lots and lots of fun in it. Hunting trips,trips to Colorado 4 wheeling in the mountains in SE Ok. but I’m going to sell it and use the money for my buisness.This Jeep is mostly all original except for a new correct Carter YF carb,headlight switch,dimmer switch and a few things like that.Has a fairly new set of 700×15 mud and snows,probally not more than 3000 miles on them. Had just very,very little rust under the gas tank that was fixed when painted,been in Ok. all its life and kept inside a lot of the time. I put new brake shoes on it 4 or 5 years ago.I would not afraid to drive this Jeep anywhere,it has failed to start one time in fifteen years,I let the battery go dead.It has been dependable,dependable. Drive it as far as you can on a back road and shut it off,it will start when you get back. It roads out really well for an old Jeep it will run 55 down the highway pretty easy,I’ve took a lot of twenty five mile hi-way trips in it. . . ”
I’ve never seen the side of a CJ-3B modded quite that.

Here a CJ-3B with an unusual dash and steering wheel design. It’s got kind of an antique feel that I find interesting. It was photographed and posted by RUD66.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2995
This looks like a great price.
“For Sale 1954 Willys 3B. has a 2″ lift, 31″ tires that are almost new. Has the original 4 cyl. I really hate to see it go.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(07/09/2012) This CJ-3B has an interesting history. The seller lists this as a 1953 CJ-3B, but the serial number suggests 1955. It looks pretty stock and in good shape, too. I also has a rare pto lever in the cab that exits through the passenger side floor. It controls a rare crankshaft powered PTO.
“This is a super rare US Government BLM issue 1953 Willys CJ3B. It is one of the most rust-free, high optioned, low mileage and untouched Jeeps you’ll ever find, one of few left in this condition with all the original paint! Only 33,900 miles, a true survivor!
Originally a US Government BLM vehicle. All the original BLM badges and stickers still remain. Government vehicles are given meticulous maintenance and this Jeep has had such a high maintenance standard. It was decommissioned in 1974 and has been in storage since then for almost 40 years. It was stored indoors in a dry building out of the weather, hence the astonishing preservation. The last time it was registered was in 1973 and still has the inspection sticker on the windshield. It was properly stored with all the fluids drained, the gas tank isn’t rusted and radiator is healthy. This Jeep has low mileage due to storage. The original hood isolation material that is mounted on the grille is still in decent shape.
This Jeep is virgin in every way. The paint is in amazing condition for 1953 and still has a nice glossy shine to it. It’s just about next to impossible to find a Willys this old with shinny original paint. All the original insignia stenciling (“4 wheel drive” and “Willys”) on the hood and tailgate are still intact.
You just can’t do this Jeep justice when it comes to originality and condition. It has been left alone in every way and hasn’t been cut up or had holes drilled in it everywhere. It still retains the original single tail light/ reflectors and the original spare tire oak block. The fuel pump, spark plug wires, radiator and gas tank are even original! The carburetor has never been rebuilt and runs perfectly.
Mechanically this Jeep is sound, again it only has 33,900 miles on it and it runs like a top. The engine has a lot power and oil pressure even after the engine has warmed up (see pic of gauges). The transmission shifts perfectly with no grinding and the 4 wheel drive works great. It also comes with correct brand new 7.00-15 tire that really captures that vintage look.
I have owned several Willys throughout the years and have never seen one this solid! For those who aren’t as familiar with Willys CJs, about 95% (if not more) have structural issues up the wazoo and this CJ doesn’t. The floor supports/hat channels usually have large rust holes or are rusted out so badly that they are missing in spots and can become severely cracked and broken up. This Jeep is beautiful with no cracking or rusted out floor supports and still has the majority of the original paint underneath the floors. It is 99% rust free. All of the floors are 100% rust free, the only rust on the jeep is on the passenger rear, about a 1″x2″ spot by the tailgate and from what I’ve seen this is very common and very minor considering. This Jeep has never been in an accident or had any body work performed, as mentioned before this it’s virgin with no bondo PERIOD!
This Jeep has all original gauges, switches, hardware etc. and all gauges and equipment work, quite the hard find! The jeep has all the original wiring harness with the factory woven cloth sheathing still intact in great condition, you’ll probably never find another Willys with this much originality. This is a high optioned Willys and was fitted from the factory with Koenig hardware, a Koenig winch and matching Koeng hard top. Other options include lock out hubs, bug guard (not mounted) and Harrison heater. This is a special Koenig winch and works wonderfully; it is unlike most, it runs off the crank shaft in front instead of off a PTO mounted on the transfercase. It has unique controls mounted on the passenger side floor. When I say this jeep is all original-untouched I mean it, it has not been taken apart or dismantled.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $250.
Looks like a good price on a PTO.
“Braden PTO: Made by Braden Winch Co., Model cj-100. The output shafts are for front or rear aplication. W/ shifter. Bolts to back of transfer case. For willys cj2a, cj3a, cj3b. see pics.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7250.
