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 .
This 3B has a variety of updates.

Glenn’s listed this CJ-3B for sale. It looks in good shape.
https://nh.craigslist.org/cto/d/loudon-jeep-cj-3b-1953/7481481359.html
“This is a 1953 Jeep cj3b that my dad bought in 1961. It has been garaged all the time only driven in the summer and put up on blocks in the winter. There is no rust on the body or frame. A Warn overdrive has been added and Warn hubs. The seats have been reupulstered with new fabric and foam. The top is in good condition and nearly new. It has been converted to 12volt and the spare tire moved to the rear. The original tire mount and 6 volt parts go with it.”
Listed as a 1946 CJ-2A, it looks to be a CJ-2A with a CJ-3B body. It’s also a non-drivable project.

“1946 willys cj2a. Really cool old jeep. Needs minor motor work like exhaust manifold gasket and brake master cylinder and other tlc. So will need to be trailered. Clean Washington title. Unfortunately a Really cool project I just can’t get to so I’m passing it on to a lucky buyer.”
I’m not sure how much value is here. This has an aftermarket body that sits on a Jeepster Commando frame.

UPDATE: Still Available. The serial number is included, so the year should be estimate-able.
(06/22/2021) Given the front clip, this might be a 3B chassis, though the Parkette body is a low-hood version.
The seller is correct about Paul Parker and the body. But, I believe this is the first version of this particular style that I’ve seen. It lacks the side stripe, has fender extensions, has a little different PARKETTE design on the back, has an extra wide lip around the rear, and looks like it has a side step. Very interesting.
https://nwga.craigslist.org/pts/d/cherry-log-willys-jeep-with-parkette/7474769927.html
“Rare, rare, rare. 48/49 Willys Jeep with Parkette fiberglass body. Believed only a handful made while Paul Parker was back in Georgia. This one is a bit odd as it doesn’t have the “line” above the fender but it does have flared fenders; the Willys nose panel is original equipment. Not sure it’s on the right size frame at the moment but we do have an original Willys bare chassis on the property we can work into the deal.
Engine/trans present. Very cool project. Needs finishing. No title. Bill of sale only. If the ad is up, the Willys is available.”

Ivan shared this rare jeep. It is a former fire jeep-wagon. It was likely part of a limited production model either from some Willys-licensee in Europe or a third party. It’s priced at 45,000 Plish Zlotych which equates to about $19,500 USD.

This has a replacement body. This may be a 3B or a CJ-5 chassis given it is a 1955.
“Beautiful 1955 Jeep Willys frame off restoration, only 753 miles since it was restored. Has a Buick V6, 3 speed manual,everything is new. Warn winch. This is a show vehicle. Price is firm. Might consider trade offers, no junk please.”

(02/11/2022) Andy shared this one. The body is rough.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/742890630026006
“For sale is a 53 willys that has been sitting for around 7 years behind a church in Newburgh. I acquired it as a project but in my current situation am unable to give it the time and love it deserves. As far as I know it did run when it was parked but obviously doesn’t run now. It is a 69 year old New York vehicle so it has its fair share of rust but has solid bones given the state it had been left in. I am happy to entertain any offers within reason including trades. I have mirrors and the missing part of the rear door as well as a spare front grill.”
Unclear what value is here.

It’s project, but the body appears sound.

“Have a 1953 CJ-3B, clean title. Has a small block (I think Chevy) in it mated to the original transmission. Axles are factory I believe. What you see is what you get”

(03/06/2022) This looks good on the outside, but does have some floor patches. This also might have a DJ-3A convertible windshield (note the twist-attachments for the top on the front -top of the windshield.
https://houston.craigslist.org/cto/d/san-antonio-1953-jeep-cj-3b-225-v6-full/7452820258.html
“Here is one neat Jeep. This is a CJ-3B that someone did some nice upgrades too. Originally it would have had a F-Head four cylinder in it. Now the Jeep has a strong running 225 Dauntless V6 that offers the perfect amount of power and torque. It fits the Jeep well. Jeep did use these motors from the mid to late 60’s. They’re great!
Power steering was added and a tilt steering column. The Jeep also and a full roll cage and updated fuse block.
The Jeep is fun! It also has a full soft top and soft doors, winch bumper and a small lift. The body is solid….not all rusted out. The dash has a nice well done gauge cluster and rocker switch panel. The brakes pull a bit if you hit them hard.
Its a great Jeep for running around the ranch, beach, neighborhood etc. Its a clear title, Jeep is located in San Antonio Texas. Thanks”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1750.
(07/30/2021) This may actually be a CJ-3A? The body is fiberglass.

Listed as a CJ-3B, this looks more like a DJ-3A body on, possibly, a CJ-3B chassis.
