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 has a variety of updates.

“For sale 13000 obo North Norwich New York 13814”
The hood lacks the WILLYS stamp, but the body is not post 1962, so this might be a mix of parts. Thanks to John for sharing it.

“1950 Jeep willys good for restoration I have a engine and transmission to go with it no trades first come first serve”
Maybe someone can use these?

“1953 Willys, CJ 3B, it has a 225 odd fire V6 with 100 miles on it had a SM 465 transmission, warn overdrive mated to a Dana 18 transfer case. GM power steering this jeep is built right.”
John shared this 3B. Some vintage lettering is still visible. It’s also got a GOV date plate.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1131845194735614
“Original Military contract CJ-3B for parts or restoration. Engine runs strong. Tranny and transfer both good. Front dash and fenders good to restore. Grill is nice also. Rest of body shot. Axles are good. Good candidate for a drop on repro body.
Original Military data tags are still there.
As seen in pics the hood denotes it was used by the town of Ellenburg NY at some point. Likely for plowing. I picked this jeep up along with a few others from an estate in Shelton CT. My focus is on WW2 jeeps and not later models. I will also be listed a 56 CJ5 separately.
Asking price on this 3b reflects the known good F Head engine, tranny, axles, etc. Data tags are pretty cool. Would make a great Vietnam War era build.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1200.
(04/27/2024) There might be value here.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/935395731524204
“Clear title. I have the hood, fenders and tailgate. The hood is the only part not pictured that is rust free. The engine in it is locked. I do have a second F-head engine that will be included that had been removed from a running 1960 model (I believe), extra front axle, and lots of extra odds and ends”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5200
(04/15/2024) The seller had been selling two jeeps, not it’s only one.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/439454708536070
“53 CJ3B does run and stops needs battery but will start with jump start. Asking $5200 Need gone due to health reasons. Have title in hand. ”

“Note: This Jeep does not have a title. It will be sold with a bill of sale only based on engine number – MD 65930. Don’t read any further if you can’t deal with buying it on a bill of sale only. Getting a title is possible through a title company or through the DMV in your state once you purchase it depending on the laws in your state.
Offered for sale is a one-of-a-kind clone of the infamous Willys 1950 X-98 prototype. This type jeep was never mass produced as it was a transitional jeep Willys proposed in1950 with new hood lines to accommodate the overhead valve F-Head engine. Only a handful of originals were built with no known survivors. This project was completed in 2023 and was recently featured in the Fall 2023 edition of “The Dispatcher” Magazine. I built this jeep based on the work of Bob Westerman who also recreated this missing link in early jeep evolution – our two are the only two working models known to exist today. For more info. See: https://cj3b.info/X98.html
TJ spotted this 3B. It looks like it has potential.

Has a variety of updates. Appears to have an overdrive.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/811526665866502/
“350 Chevy 3speed with overdrive. New Battery and Windshield. Needs carb cleaned. But runs descent with the choke on.”

The tires, rims and flares scream 1980s jeep. Unusual fish hood ornament. I’m sure there’s a story there?

“1954 CJ3B. High hood Willy’s. Original, nice running engine.”

Listed as a 1952, it’s not clear if this is actually a 3A or a CJ-3B chassis (or something else). The body looks to be a very rare Parkette CJ-3B body kit.

(04/05/2024) This former ice-racing jeep got modified. The former owner’s son-in-law had some opinions about this on Facebook … “This was my father in laws jeep. If you knew Smitty you knew the proud ice racing history this jeep represented. Now it is a total piece of crap?. It is sad to see someone take a piece of local history and shit all over it…” ..
https://denver.craigslist.org/cto/d/littleton-jeep-cj-3b-rat-rod-54-small/7733629827.html
To this, which is for sale:
“After 8 years I am forced to give up my street rod project. 302 specification 4 bolt small block. Scrambler axles street geared, chrome side pipes…’98 Mustang convertible top.
Call to discuss I must accept probably nobody would finish what I started….the engine was supposed to be the best part when I bought Dirty George, a famous Colorado retired Ice Racer. Z28 spec 350 appears new inside, sounded great, but when it warmed up the engine “locked” and does so every time until it cools to restart for 5 minutes.
Duntov 40-40 cam, double hump heads etc. Big Holly leaks and would not be suitable for street use anyway…lots of spare parts one driveshaft is too long the other is too short after center-out transfer case was added with new torque converter on rebuilt transmission. 331 Jeep Scrambler axles replaced the 4;88 gears. Disc brakes. Power steering Chevy tilt steering column. Diagnosis is that rings were possibly not gapped properly on new pistons or too tight of skirts on the rebore. Scope down into spark plug holes indicates fresh parts. Oil pressure is great when running it is not the crank that seizes when it warms up. It had sat in dry storage for many years before I had a dream.”
