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 project CJ-3B. The pics don’t really show enough to know if this is a good deal or not.
“Selling my project 1964 cj3b. All parts are there and its all original except seats and wheels. No body rot but needs some sheetmetal work.Contact Scott@ (530)257-3630. $900.00 OBO”
This looks like a nice straight, non-abused CJ-3B.
” 64 CJ3B with all factory stock drivetrain. 134 F-Head Engine. Gears are 4:27 ratio. WITH 31,013 ORIGINAL MILES. Everything works with the exception of emergency brake and gas gauge. There is no top with this Jeep. The Jeep Runs and Drives EXCELLENT! I have added a Rancho 2 1/2 inch lift with Ranch R-S 5000 Shocks. Tires are Interco Super Swamper TRXUS radials mounted on what I believe are vintage Jackman 15X10 Wheels. Alson has new factory style exhaust system. This is a very quiet, very solid Jeep CJ. The body has 2 small rust holes on the lower right body tub…”
All original CJ-3B with rebuilt engine. The body appears a bit rough in the pics and there appears to be rust along the passenger side.
“1958 CJ-3b Willys Jeep. Engine rebuilt Spring 2002. All original, what you see is what you get. Needs engine tune-up, ran when garaged. Body needs work. Tires are 33 x 12.5 BF Goodwrench MT’s- not new condition. Is a great trail vehicle, or a great restoration project. Serious inquiries only. Price negotiable. Must sell, moving soon. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
No obvious issues with this CJ-3B.
“1953 WILLYS JEEP RUNS GREAT! WARN HUBS, WARN WENCH, SOFT TOP W/DOORS GREAT CONDITION. NEW SEATS WITH EXTRA SET OF NICE WINTER COVERS. 15″ STEEL WHEELS W/32/11-50/15 TIRES. BURGANDY PAINT.

GREAT DEAL”
This is a pretty high price for a project that still needs the engine rebuilt (among other things done). I’m kind of wondering what part of this is rack n’ pinion.
“Must sell asap due to medical reasons. CJ3B High hood jeep. This is a project car and would be really nice once finished. Dana 60 rearend, front disc brakes, rack n pinion, top loader 4 speed, boxed frame, engine needs rebuilt 69 ford 302.
Asking $3500 or Best Offer. Please call Mike (971) 404-4047 anytime”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
Here’s a solid looking CJ-3B. No obvious rust, few noticable mods, and a straight body.
“I am selling a classic Willys CJ3-B from 1959 for $5500 OBO. The interior and engine are original and in good condition. The paint is a nice grey and in very good condition, just not the original any more.”
Not many specifics listed. It appears mostly stock. Only one pic in ad.
“For Sale – 1955 Willys Jeep with cover. It is a 3-speed with 4-wheel drive low. Brand new tires!”
Can you tell what’s been done to this CJ-3B? The builder has extended the front by 3″ – 6″, probably because they’ve dropped this body onto a longer frame (70’s cj-5 maybe?).
“great willys on or off road v-8 runs excellent new carb, clutch, starter, tow bar, salvage title call mike 310-722-8770”
The image is small, so it’s hard to tell much. There seems to be a slightly funky angle to that passenger fender near the step.
“Classic Willys Jeep Rare. 6 Cyl. 4 speed. full canvas top, 6 pt. roll cage. wipers, turn signals, tow bar, locking hubs, steering stabilizer, bucket seats, 31″ knobby tires on white spoke wheels with spare, Edelbrock manifold, elec. ignition, high output alternator, Headers, Dual Mufflers-exhaust pipes to tail, high volume/low pressure oil pump/external oil cooler, all gages. Garaged. No rust, Great shape. $5200.00 OBO”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1700.
I suspect underneath that diamond plating (I think it is diamond plating) is some wear & tear or rust. Otherwise, it’s a running CJ-3B that looks pretty good for only $1700.
“62 willys V6 3 sd alot of extras trans and case new shocks rancho lift.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
“I purchased this Jeep out of a collection years ago. The first few summers I drove it back and forth to work. Top off, and windsheild frame down !!! The Jeep was restored in 1997. 11 years now. It was a Nebraska Jeep.. The motor and driveline was rebuilt. Axles and brakes gone thru. New brake lines. New exhaust. The list goes on and on. seats were recovered, new top, Wheels powdercoated, New gauges and switchs.The jeep has a nice new style fuse box with new wiring from front to rear. One receipt I have from the restoration totals $3,800.00 alone ….”
There’s a small chance this is a CJ-3B rather than a CJ-5. No pics shown.
“Jeep is solid and runs strong, has a 350 chevy motor with a 4 bolt main, size 31 tires like new, new brakes upgraded from 9 inch to 11 inch(cost 800.00), new rag top, snow plow with mounting bracket for the jeep, great for a hunting camp or for play, must sell need room for other toys. 570-778-1008”

“This is a 1953 Jeep CJ3B. Body is in good shape but has no engine or transmission. CJ3B’s are getting pretty hard to find. Asking $4000. For more information call to Surplus City Jeep parts”
UPDATE: This jeep has been listed on eBay. In the last auction, the price reached $3650, but that was below the reserve. This time it appears there is no reserve.
“1953 CJ-3B Willys Jeep. Garage kept. New BFG 35″ Muds. New Warn 9500ti high speed winch. Ford 289 Mustang V8, t5 transmission and t18 transmission with warn overdrive kit, full size spare with jerry can on custom tire carrier, corbeau bucket seats, full roll cage. Just sold ranch and nowhere to drive it. This has been my hunting jeep. Enjoy the Rubicon this summer. Call Ryan. 310.924.2844”
Sounds like it might be mostly stock. Nice restore.
“4 Cylinder-3 Speed. Body off restoration several years ago. Steel body. Very good condition. Current inspection sticker. Steering box needs rebuild. $6500 B.O. Contact Skip 617-590-3691”
Someone’s got the wrong year on this CJ-3B. Maybe it is really 1964? It’s either got a fiberglass body or some work has been done on the steps.
“Up for sale is this rare and collectable willys jeep with 4 cylinder 3 speed transmission 4 wheel drive . She runs great and is ready for a new home and off road adventures and fun !! $2500 CASH in person call Damian at 619-415-4403”
UPDATE: The price dropped to $3500. More pictures.
Not many details listed, but looks like lots of attention to detail. The paint job looks great, nice rims and tires. Full painted cage.
“1953 willy’s Jeep new tires 4 cylinder chevy engine 4 speed t18 trans”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
Only this one pic is available. It looks very nice.
“1953 Willys Kaiser Jeep w/12,000 actual miles, 90% restored, yellow, 3 speed, first year of the civilian jeep, rear seat, snow plow, front tow bar, goes down the road at speed limit. Includes white soft top with doors.”
While not completely accurate, this is a nicely restored CJ-3B. You can also purchase another rolling frame and other parts for an additional $400.
“THIS IS A 1954 CJ3B WILLYS JEEP ,REG. IN MY NAME , THE JEEP WAS RESTORED APPROX. 4 YEARS AGO, NEW BREAK SYSTEM FROM THE MASTER CYL. TO THE LUG NUTS, NEW GAS LINES ,TANK, SENDING UNIT.

ALSO HAS NEW TIE RODS & KING PIN THE JEEP HAS A KOENING PTO WINCH THAT WORKS GREAT. IT RUN OK BUT NEEDS A TUNE UP.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000
Though listed on ebay, this is a buy-it-now sale rather than an auction. No doubt there’s been money invested into this jeep. It’s certainly interesting.
“Classic 1954 Willys CJ3B. All facets just mechanically upgraded/restored. Completely rebuilt Buick 225 V-6 with headers and new mufflers. 100lb flywheel and new clutch. New alternator. New starter. Late model ford 4 speed compound low. Dana rear 44 with Detroit Locker. Dana 30 front with ARB air locker in box ready for install and already pre-wired with air compressor and tank installed. 4 wheel disk brakes…….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
This is a good looking CJ-3B with some important extras (OD and better brakes).
“1953 Willys CJ3B, V6, power steering, overdrive, hubs, oversized breaks, new tires, also includes spear tire/gas can rack still in box and misc. parts, good condition.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
The windshield looks a little unusual on this CJ-3B. It appears to be well maintained.
“This is a 1956 jeep willys cj3b, it has a F-head 134 engine, T90 tansmission(3spd, 4wd works like a champ, superwinch hubs. dana44 rear axle, exterior recently painted and has a bedliner coating in the back as well as the front of the interior of the tub…. Its missing two guages and needs a little bit of wiring but its a nice jeep for someone to tinker with but it is a blast to drive, the serial number is 32720 and in doing some research I found out that this jeep came from the west coast which explains why it has very minimal rust.”
This is a nice rollcage. The seller suggests it could be used on other flatfenders, but the bends in the front near the dash would look a little odd for low hood flatties.
“For sale roll cage only. fits cj3b high hood, powder coated, with full sand pad on the top. plenty strong. may fit other flat fenders? 600.00 obo”
Obviously there is surface rust, however I suspect most of it isn’t too deep. It’s got some nice updates, including updated steering and column, new top, winch, and tires/rims.
“1953 Willys Jeep CJ-3B. This jeep has been built for 4-wheeling and is ready for your next Moab adventure. Asking $3490.00, includes: Rebuilt Buick 198 engine (about 6,000 miles on rebuilt engine), T-90 transmission with 3.5 to 1 low range and 6 cyl input shaft, Dana 44 rear end with 5.38 gears and locker, Dana 25 front end with 5.38 gears and locker, Warn 8,000 lb winch, Power steering with in-line cooler, 32” x 11.5” BFG Mud Terrain tires,”
UPDATE: Was $2500. **SOLD**
There have been some mods, but otherwise this looks in pretty decent shape.
