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 $7000
This looks good.
“Jeep is a great shape and has been taken good care of. It has 35,000 original miles. has new top and 6 ply tires. It even has the rear seat which is very rare.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6900.
This J-54 appears in good shape.
“Up for sale is my 1981 cj3b Diesel J54 from Mitsubishi Heavy industries. Willys sold the license to Mitsubishi in 1953 for them to make a version of their much beloved Cj3b. Mitsubishi in turn, made the Jeeps from 1954 up until August of 1998. Willys on the other hand, stopped making the cj3b in 1965 for the American market. This jeep is in really good shape and it has only 36,000 original miles. The engine is the 2.8l 4dr5 inline 4 cylinder diesel and gets extremely good gas mileage…ive gotten a little over 30mpg since i bought it in 2010. It is the right hand drive like postal jeeps but it is really easy to get used to and kinda fun once you get used to it. The diesel engine is very heavy duty and was used all over the world in these jeeps and in Mitsubishi heavy forklifts. Here are some specs….full time hubs, 24 volt waterproof electrical system, D44 for rear diff and d30 for front diff, good approach and departure angles, gear to gear transfer case with a 2.3 low range and 4.77 differential gearing, no computer, no epa smog devices at all, no catalytic converter, no egr valve, no pcv valve, and no carburetor to adjust. The jeep cranks better than anything that i own and i attribute that to the 24 volt system and the power it throws to spin the starter. I really dont want to sale the jeep but other things are pressing and it is time for someone else to enjoy it.. . more info on craigslist.

(12/11/2012) This looks in good shape. I’m not sure whether that jeep or a jeep just like it was featured in Hemmings.

This looks like a solid rig.
“I have a 1954 Willys Jeep! This Jeep has had the entire Chevy small block 350 rebuilt.
Brand new tires and rims. This Jeep is a hard one to find! Most of the work is done. The body is very straight and no rust!! This Jeep would make an excellent Rock crawler, Hunting machine, or an everyday driver. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
This 3B appears to have a replacement body that’s in good shape. Someone poked the steering column through, rather than under, the dash.
“1953 WILLYS HIGH HOOD JEEP. 4.3 litre chevy V-6 motor. like new rubber, close ratio 4 speed trans. runs excellent and looks great too. $ 8000 / offer may also do trades for equal value vehicles or part trade and cash differance ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
It’s listed as a ’46, but it probably isn’t. The body is very interesting. It has no drain holes, the hood doesn’t have ‘Willys’ on it, and this has tool indents with what appear to be tool attachments. It could be a replacement body.
“This Jeep was last started 8 years ago and may or may not run now. It has been garaged for at least the last 20 years and has little to no rust. The one picture shows it with the soft top which I still have, but is not on the Jeep now. The tires are like new and in remarkably good condition.”
This looks solid.
