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 .

Here’s a nice CJ-3B. It appears to have a replacement body. It looks nice. I’m surprised the back is solid. It looks like it came that way rather than be a custom job.
“1953 Willys Jeep. It has a new body so there is no rust what-so-ever. Dana 44 front and rear axles. Small block Ford 260. Original 3-speed gearbox. Overdrive. 2 fuel tanks. New top. New custom gauges. Custom wheels. Custom Ranch Hand bumpers front and rear w/tow bar. Locking hubs. Aluminum radiator. Dual exhaust. This thing fires right up and runs perfectly. It’s a no-issue Jeep that doesn’t need a thing.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on ebay.
That’s a pretty rare top.
“Up for sale is a 1963 Willys Universal Jeep with only 20,595 miles. This is a 2 owner Jeep with a Hurricane 4 Cyl engine and famous 4 wheel drive. The drive train is in very good condition and a new Fuel Pump, Carburator, and master cyl. have been installed. The tires are like new.
This jeep was bought new by the Antioch, Ill volunteer fire department and was used to fight grass and brush fires for years. Please see the picture of a similarily equipped jeep in this add and a period advertisement for the unit. A member of the fire department purchased this jeep and has owned it for many years. It has been carefully housed in Florida for some time and was only used as transportation to the Fort Myers Beach. There are a couple of pictures showing some minor body rust spots.
This is your chance to own a classic Jeep in very good operating condition. With some minor body work, it will clearly make someone an excellent piece of automotive history.
The successful buyer is responsible for transportation expense from Fort Myers Fl. The seller will accept a cashier’s check or cash on or before delivery of the unit. A deposit of $1000 is required within 5 working days of the close of the auction. The balance will be due prior to transport and transfer of title. Also the seller reserve the right to close this sale or auction at his descretion because the Jeep is for sale locally. The owner does not express or imply any warranty coverage of this vehicle. The sale will be on an “as is” basis.”
UPDATE: Now on eBay.
(02/27/2012) It looks solid, though it is missing the emergency brake.
“This Willys CJ3B went though a body off restoration. It runs great and looks great. The restoration included not only cosmetic but the motor, transmission, both front and rear differentials and transfer case were gone through. The starter was also rebuilt. New u-joints, radiator, fuel tank, all leaf springs and shocks, seat cushions and cover were replaced. The tires and wheels are new. A new top along with new doors, carburetor and alternator were fitted. Updates include front lock out hubs, radio with 2 speakers and power steering.”

Glenn spotted this used ICON for sale. The beginning bid price is $50,000.
“The majority of ICON’s are built to order for each client. On rare occasion, we will have second hand ICON’s available. This CJ is that exception. It has traveled 2200 miles since being built.

“We have a 1960 Willys Jeep CJ-3B. Needs new tub, which I had plans to do but never got around to. This has the much desired F-Head engine. Husband says the underside is in wonderful condition. Hood embossed with the Willys logo. It has been stored in the old barn for years. Not currently running. This one is priced to sell, it’s worth this price in parts alone!”
Rennie is interested in getting a CJ-3B. For the right deal, he would consider trading his Edsel for a CJ-3b.
“Im Selling my 1959 Edsel Corsair. This car has been stored in a garage for the last 35yrs. It currently does not run but the engine does turn over. I no longer have an adequate place to store it and I would like to pass it on to someone who will enjoy it. Im asking $5,500obo. Thank you for viewing this ad.”
It runs.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700.
(01/30/2011) I thought this hood solution was an unusual way to deal with the longer frame. I’m wondering if the frame is from a CJ-6?
“Selling my 1964 Jeep Willy X Flat Fender CJ-3A that has a new 390 V8 Offenhauser Engine. The engine has about 15,000 miles on it. It is a beast of an engine. You may want this jeep just for the Engine and parts to put into something you’re working on. this engine would be great for any hot rod or racing vehicle. The jeep is in great running condition and has alot of power. A great off road vehicle. It also looks really cool and has custom body work. I bought this jeep with the intent of driving it and fixing it up, but i haven’t had the money to do alot, i’ve done a few things, but it’s time to get something different to drive. I don’t want to put any more money into this jeep and second I need to get a different car. I have a family now and need something with doors lol. This jeep has power steering, tilt wheel, new dash with new dials, 3-speed transmission, locking hubs, nice rims with Pirelli tires. I’m asking for $2700 or best offer. I am also willing to take a vehicle trade. If you have something, show me and we’ll go from there. Cash is preferred though. Available to see anytime. Msg me for more info. Will answer back immediately.”
Steve spotted this former police jeep in India on fire. Nothing safer for kids to do than beat on a burning vehicle. I’m sure the toxic fumes aren’t too bad . . .
