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 $3550
Both of these need work.

“This 1961 Willys Jeep has been parked without being started for 5 years. It was driven to the spot where it is now. Has all running gears, trans, transferr case, axles etc.
Everthing is still on motor. Jeep ran good before being parked. Transmission is gummed up and stuck where it has been sitting for so long! Has 2 original fuel cans.
No top or doors! Windsheld in great shape! Body very rough. Everything else would be great for parts. HAVE TITLE!! This was my Dads Jeep. He gave it to me when I moved to KY. to use on our farm. If not sold I will restore it myself at a later date!”
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 . . .

I’m thinking this needs more than clutch work.
“I am selling a 1958 Willy’s CJ3B. It has a Buick V6 in it. No top. Needs Clutch work, and some TLC. Extra chassis if wanted. 3 speed manual transmission. Asking 1500 obo. Email with questions or offers. Open to possible trades. ”

(09/23/2011) This sounds like a good build.

This looks in good shape, though the floor carpet makes it hard to evaluate the floor.
“1953 Jeep Willys CJ3B. Great running reliable Jeep willys originally purchased by US Navy for base use as depicted on plaque installed on dash. Not a show quality vehicle but not a rust bucket and no areas needing to be addressed. Original color was orange for naval base use to identify allied vehicles. Used on weekends with my kids for parades, jeep events, and beach trips. It has a great running 4 cylinder with manual transmission .Starts right up every time,no leaks, Has tow bar, 4 Wheel drive works as it should with no mechanical issues whatsoever. Tires installed within last year. Has spare tire not mounted. Hard top can be removed and comes with alternate windshield and glass. Seat covers are like new. Interior has been completely covered in soundproofing to reduce exterior noise. All lights, blinkers, turn signals, radio, work perfectly.
Absolutely nothing wrong with this vehicle just not being used enough to justify keeping. Classic insurance is only 85.00 per year and qualifies for classic QQ tags and registration.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800.
(12/04/2011) It runs … but the body doesn’t appear saveable (to me).
“It RUNS, but it is rusty! There is a plow and a top for it, I will sell those separately or 2,800 for all. Great winter project!!! If you have any questions call Martin at (260)316-2114”
I spotted this 3B the other day. Parked when running perhaps?

(09/29/2010) The price looks right and the engine looks good.
“I have a 1953 Willys CJ3B Jeep, it is in Good/Fair condition. I bought it in 2009 and drove it for a year than parked it in storage to work on it. The rest is history. I changed the oil, greased all joints, and changed the fluid in both diffs. It needs a full restoration if you wanna go that route.
134 c.i. OHV 4 cylinder, 3 spd. manual with twin stick transfer case
Dana 20 front axle, Dana 44 rear axle
This vehicle does not run but the engine is not seized up, I removed the rear drive shaft so it can be moved. It needs more than I can give it and I hate to let it go, but I’d rather see someone else driving it on the road, than have it sitting in front of my house.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7900

“great running Willys Jeep. I drive it nearly every day…everything mechanically is sound. This jeep does have a Navy Tag, and I believe that might make it slightly more limited, and more valuable.
