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: Was $2500. **SOLD**
(07/29/2013) This is missing the passenger side step, but otherwise looks good.
“1953 willies jeep in excellent condition. 60,000 original miles. Make offer or trade for something interesting.”
Lots to like here, but it seems to be missing windshield wipers and seat back pads.
“Up for sale or possible trade is a 1953 JEEP Willys CJ3b Restored to factory showroom condition. It took over 2 yrs and close to $20,000.00 in receipts of parts alone to build this project. Every thing is brand new including the complete body that I was able to find still in the crate. Must see to understand how much time and money was invested. I have put maybe 10 miles on it since rebuild it still needs a few minor details to complete it. I just don’t have the time to work on projects any more. Email me with any Questions. Will possibly trade for a Polaris RZR, Ranger, or
equivelant side by side of equal value. No Junk”

The body looks to be a replacement body.

“Selling the old toy. Family of five has outgrown it and we purchased a replacement. The top in the picture has a hole in it now…the mice got after it in the barn. It is being advertised on Hwy. 19 at D&R Four Wheel Drive. Stop and check it out. First $4,500 takes it!”

UPDATE: Was $10,500. Status Unknown.
(10/21/2013) This certainly looks parade ready, but calling it ‘show room’ condition seems a stretch.

Flat fender high hood Jeep. This is a rust-free original Arizona Jeep, purchased new by the state of Arizona for use by Salt River Project Power and Water. The Jeep still has the original windshield with the SRP decal still intact. It was purchased from SRP surplus by a retired employee in the mid 80’s and has spent the last 25 years on his ranch in northern AZ, before being purchased and fully restored. Has original OHC 4-cylinder Willys Hurricane engine, 3-speed manual transmission and 4-wheel drive. Full frame-on cosmetic restoration was just completed including fully disassembling down to the bare tub, sandblasting and re-assembly. The Jeep was totally rust-free to start with, so there is very little filler and no patch panels. Engine was fully resealed and detailed to showroom condition. The complete suspension and braking system was rebuilt and upgraded to 11″ brakes from a later CJ5. Brand new wiring harness, starter, generator and regulator have been installed and tested. This Jeep has painstakingly been re-outfitted with all the correct original details down to the canvas straps, jerry can and shovel and axe mounted on the tub. Vacuum operated windshield wipers were added and all new handmade lines run. Also, the original period correct Motorola two-way radio used by SRP is still installed. Five new Firestone OE spec tires were installed to finish off this authentic and rare CJ3B.
UPDATE: Was $8300. **SOLD**

(12/08/2012) There are some good detail shots of the rebuild.
“For sale is my 1954 Jeep Willys CJ3B. This Jeep was bought about 3 years ago and was used as a restoration project ( as you can see from the pictures ). Engine runs excellent. 4×4 was rebuilt, including the transmission and transfer case. The engine has a new starter, coil, spark plugs, rotor and cap, wires, and a rebuilt carburator. A new custom exhaust was installed by a local professional. The Jeep has brand new shocks, brakes, brake master cylinder, wheel bearings, new steering shock and also it was recently fully aligned. The Jeep starts perfectly, and drives like all other jeeps. It was fully restored, including the break down of all body panels, fully sandblasted, rust prevention spray, 3 coats of primer, and then the final original paint color. All dash gauges and lights work, and the dash includes the original Jeep Willys 4×4 instruction plate. It has a Ramsey Winch on the front, which is controlled by a remote from inside and outside of the Jeep. As you can see in the pictures, there is an electric hookup for towing the jeep that allows the jeep’s lights to be used in towing. Since restoration, my CJ3B has been garage kept and only driven for enjoyment on the streets. This Jeep is perfect for anyone who is looking for a exceptionally unique Willys which is in perfect mechanical and physical shape, that can add upgrades to increase their enjoyment.”
