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 .
It looks solid.

“1948 Willys CJ2A? Pretty cool old jeep, worth fixing for sure. Looks like it’s all there, I did get the motor to “run” off starter fluid. Frame is good, body is rough but better than most, definatly useable. Motor was rebuilt at some point, looks to have the original drivetrain ( flathead 4, 3 speed manual, spicer 18)”
UPDATE: Still Available
(05/07/2011) This appears in good shape.

UPDATE: SOLD!
“Mostly stock and lightly restored Willys 1953 CJ3B for sale. $3,600 OBO
This is the high hood version of the post-WWII Willys civilian jeep.
It has the 4 cylinder 134cu, overhead valve “Hurricane” engine. Compression is good (120, 119, 115, 125). The engine has the original oil bath air filter. The jeep still has the original 6 volt electrical and charging system including starter, generator, coil and lights. All of the fluids have been replaced in the last 6 months. The odometer is working and reads 29,XXX. That may be the true miles, but no guarantee.From what I know of the jeeps history, it’s possible.
The transmission is the T-90 three-speed with the dual stick Dana transfer case. The transmission shifts smoothly and does not drop out of 2nd as is common with these older transmissions.
The body was sanded and sand blasted down to bare metal prior to minor sheet metal repair, priming and painting. The body and bed is painted with TSC Restoration Series “International Harvester Red”. The wheels, windshield and roll bar are painted gloss black. It’s not a high end professional paint job but it’s not a rattle can and paint brush job either. The floorboards are solid, but the hat channels underneath need repair as is common with these old jeeps.
I have the original vacum wipers, but have electrical wipers to replace them. This jeep came stock with out turn signals. I have a turn signal kit that is yet to be installed. Depending on the wheather, I might get out in my tent garage and get that done before long.
It has the original brakes, which do work…like 65 year old 9 inch drum brakes. 🙂
The wheels are original 17 inch; painted black and the tires are Maxxis and have about 25-30% tread left.
The seats are original stock and were upholstered at one time in the past with black vinyl. They still look pretty decent. There are no back seats. A new black bikini top is included. Also included is an older black vinyl BesTop brand full soft top and doors. The full top is about 20 years old and needs some seams repaired, but the vinyl, windows and zippers are OK.
I bought it in Georgia where they don’t issue titles for vehicles this old. I’ve taken it to the NC Dept of motor vehicles and they have inspected it and certified the VIN and that it isn’t stolen and I have the paper work to send to the state to have a NC tile issued. I will work with the buyer to get the title if needed. I have the jeep registered, tagged and insured currently.
I’m sure I have posted this one before, but I couldn’t find it . . . nice looking rig.
“PROJECT NOT RUNNING BUT VERY COMPLETE PACKAGE. STORED FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS.

Very Well Built and Tows Great because it is low to the ground.
JUST THOSE ITEMS ARE ALMOST $7,000 IN COST. Again the motor has sat for almost 10 years expect to go through it properly, it is still a project at this point. The front of the frame was extended to accomodate longer springs and a better ride as well as a winch pocket in front of the radiator. Was working on a spring over lift conversion, so minor steering issues need finished prior to driving.

UPDATE: This is now on eBay was listed for $3999 on Craigslist.
(07/17/2012) The seller notes that this is in great original condition. It looks solid and while there is lots of original jeep here, the drain holes have been plugged and it appears from the pictures that the front and lower sides have been painted differently than the rear portion of the body. I suspect there has been some body work done.

Engine is a Willys “L” head Four cylinder 134ci that does smoke a little but runs smoothly. Transmission is the T-90 3 speed. Warn lock out hubs were installed.
The front seats are original and in solid condition, the rear seat is is from a CJ5. The Jeep is topless.
I have owned this 3b for over 30 years and many parts have been replaced over time. She is not perfect but in very good condition for a 50 year old Jeep.
