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 .
Looks like some parts value here.

The only description is “rum”. Does it run on “rum”? Do you need “rum” to drive it?

Has some rust.

1953 cj3b with hardtop roof,,,,,,,,,,$4000″
There sure is a lot to like here, especially that hardtop, which looks to be a Koenig Super Cab model 550 with the optional vertical doors in the rear (see other Koenig brochures here).
https://boise.craigslist.org/cto/d/caldwell-1953-cj3b-willys-jeep/7396940273.html
“This is a unicorn. This little green gem has around 36k miles on it. Nothing is rusted out. It is mostly all original from what I can see.
Runs good
The rare hard top is in amazing shape with keys to lock doors.
Still has the 6v system and has cloth wiring. You will not find another cj3b in this shape that has not been restored..”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $13,000.
“1953 Willy’s Jeep CJ3B

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
This looks like a good price. It includes a rear PTO & Gearbox.
“Runs and drives good everything works as it should 7000 obo”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This looks to be a modified and stretched CJ-3B. This might be 2WD.
“1946 Willy jeep will crank by spraying starting fluid in carburetor 62654 miles showing. No u can not drive it home. It needs work. But for its age it’s not bad 2500 o.b.o”
Not sure how much value is here.

“Willys for parts. No frame. Was going to use for a rat rod t don’t have time to mess with it. Asking 400 but needs to go”
Listed as a 1954, this looks more like a post 1959 CJ-3B.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/599245621075777
“Up forsale is a 1954 cj3b high hood, very desirable and hard to come by. This one boast all of the factory original parts as it was parked. This is a great restoration candidate or get it going and show off the patina look. The engine spins over and I’m sure a set of points, carb clean and she would fire right off. $2250 obo”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6800.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/611290303188386
“Mechanically restored. New Tires, Brakes/Brake Lines, Carburetor, Fuel Tank, Battery, GM Alternator, Seats, Dash Instruments, Steering Wheel, Wiper Arms/Blades, Engine Rebuilt, New Clutch. Needs some body work. Runs. Owned by one family since 1973. Orig generator available. Tow Bar conveys. Clean title”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
Seems like a good price. Seller is very clear that it isn’t a perfect vehicle, but it does run and drive.
“1953 Willys jeep cj3b Starts right up and drives but it is almost 70yrs old. This thing is slow, bumpy, wanders all over the road, drips fluids and the brakes are like rubbing to blocks of wood together. But it’s an Absolute blast to drive. Was driving to work and school daily, now it’s not getting driven enough and I have other projects I’d like to get too. Mostly original. But there are a few modern additions. Electric wipers, electric fuel pump, modern air filter (I do have the original air canister filter) Minimal rust nothing cancerous that I know of just some light surface in a few places. Newer paint job, white exterior and black monstaliner in the inside tub. New seat upholstery, New tube in the tires and tires are in great shape. Starter and t-case rebuild 2yrs ago I want to be clear this is not a perfect vehicle, it leaks fluid, body isn’t perfect, paint isn’t perfect. This is not a show vehicle nor is the asking price. It is a driver”
Not a whole lot of value here.

“1953 jeep cj3b No motor No trans Has title Will make a good builder for a crawler or rat rod Frame has a couple patches on it as does body. Has seat frames and fuel tank Located in fort smith Arkansas”
I’m thinking we’ve seen this one for sale previously.

“Chevy v8 Original axles and gears Will climb without you just leave her in gear Fuel pump is weak but last time I thought I was selling it about a year it ran but we didn’t air up the tires And the the kid that was buying never showed up No I will not part it out Mileage unknown it was only ever used for deer hunting, moving need gone It is now on a trailer and mobile for hauling”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
Perhaps the price is just a placeholder?
“Old Willys, it has the original flat head The motor was rebuilt and at the most it had 5000 miles on it it has just been parked , it would make a great project car I would trade it for and older motor home or a car that runs good as well”
This may be a good price. It’s listed near Reno, but the map on Craiglist shows it along the border of Kansas and Oklahoma. I’m guessing the map is wrong.

“1953 Willys CJ3B for sale. Completely rebuilt with new steel body. Rebuilt 225 V6 with new Comp cam. Heads have hardened seats and Chevy dual valve springs. It has all new valves, lifters, and adjustable pushrods. New aluminum radiator and HEI distributor. Rebuilt 3-speed auto with rebuilt Dana 18 transfer case. New brakes and wheel cylinders on 11″ brakes. Homebuilt emergency brakes to keep it road legal. 5.38 gear ratio with Warn hubs front and rear. Top speed is 60 mph and anything over I would consider dangerous. I built it to go play in the sand but never made it. Not safe on the freeway but should be fine just wheeling in town. It has new full set of gauges and a full roll cage. New spare tire mounted in the back so no room for back seat. Genuine German Jerry can. Home made aluminum tool box also in the back. The Willys is painted CAMO with good urethane paint; not rattle can. I fabricated lot of stuff on here so it’s a little different. PS, PB, and bikini top. Have tow bar but not mounted. It has small oil leaks here and there so don’t park on a clean driveway.”
Here’s. 3B with a replacement tub.
