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 $5000
(04/01/2010) This looks like a nice jeep.
“RARE… 1953 Willy’s highhood jeep, CJ 3B in good condition. All parts listed below are new within the last two years with very low miles on them: Carb, Paint, Rims, Tires, Fuel, Tank, Exhaust, Brakes. It has a Warn O/D. Jeep runs and looks awesome, has original engine, tranny, axles and t/c. Selling so I can get something fun such as a Sand Rail, Quad, Land Cruiser, Early Bronco or even a 1 Ton 4×4 truck.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
These don’t appear very often. I’m not sure how easy, or not, they are to import into the US.
“This is a no-reserve auction for a super rare 1977 Mitsubishi Willys Jeep J54 Diesel right hand drive in Immaculate condition. It has a professionally installed dual tank fuel system which means it can run on diesel or vegetable oil. The system was professionally installed and runs exceptionally well. The Jeep also has new TA’s with less than a 1000 miles. The title is clear and clean. No rips or tears in the seats. No dents or body damage. Runs and drives excellent. Bikini top and doors included.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
(05/16/2010) These aren’t too common and this one looks nice. I think this is as good of price as you’ll find.
“This is a one of a kind! Mitsubishi right hand drive. This jeep was made in Japan. Street legal, with current tags and clean title. Good shape, runs great. F134 motor 4 cylinder. Great jeep for hunting & fishing in the back country. Brand new 8,000 lb electric winch. Half and full tops. 5 mud terrain tires with less than 1000 miles on them. Off road lights, 2 front and 1 rear. Three speed. If you want a 16 foot car trailer with it, add another $1,000 to price.”
This looks pretty good. I don’t think I’ve seen hubcaps quite like that.
“1963 Jeep Willys, 30246 miles showing on odemeter, drove very little needs some restoring, has new gas tank, rebuilt carb. and motor has been rebuilt has about 2500 miles on it. contact # 704-692-7054 or text. $5000 or BO.”

This has some interesting little graphics, or umm leaves, in the corners.
“953 WILLY’S JEEP BODY ON A 1974 CHEVY CHASSIS 350 CORVETTE ENGINE AUTO TRANS SHIFT KIT POWER STEERING TILT STEERING WHEEL POLISHED METAL DASH GAUGES RADIO 4 POINT RACING SEATS ROLL BAR CANVAS TOP GOOD TIRES RUNS STRONG 3″ LIFT KIT. NEON LIGHT KIT INSTALLED. RUNS AND LOOKS GREAT”
This looks nice. I’m not sure where West Magic Reservoir is.
“This is one great jeep. It is all original, four cylinder newly re-built engine, new suspension, new tires, new fuel pump, new brakes. No cracks in glass, It’s clean, runs great, looks great. Have to sell, but firm on price. If you know your Willys, you’ll love this one.”

UPDATE: Was $6900. **SOLD**
“4 Wheel drive, new electrical wiring, 36inch tires, new drive line, 4 speed, 350 chev motor. New paint and new interior. Is a very powerful running jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500
(04/29/2010) This is CJ-3B on top and ’71 CJ-5 on the bottom. The front shackles have been reversed. Much more done as well (the seller provides a very long description in the Ad).
“What I have is a CJ3B siting on a 1971 CJ5 Frame, so it has been titled as a 71 CJ3B. It has a strong running Buick 225 V6 Oddfire, T18 4spd transmission with granny 1st. and new clutch, Fresh rebuilt Dana 20 transfer case, newer drivelines and U-Joints, open knuckle Dana 30 front with disk breaks (no locker), Dana 44 rear with welded spiders, Front shackle conversion, Rancho lift springs (sprung under axle), Powder Coated black custom front and rear bumpers, Hi-Lift mount on rear with storage rack, SW guages (fuel, amps, oil, water temp, tachometer all work fine) Speedometer gear just went out so it needs replacing on the transfer case otherwise it works fine, has brand new cable. Lights and signals works perfect, even hazards. Brakes are great, 4×4 works flawlessly. Solid body and frame. Frame has been braced in the weak spots. Good 32×9.50 TSL’s on black steel wheels with allot of offset to keep the tires out further, it will fit 35’s with a shackle lift…..”
UPDATE: a reader reports this is sold. Was for sale for $8k.
I’m gonna guess that this is a rare 1968 CJ-3B titled as a 1969, as I believe ’68 was the last production year.
“1969 willys Jeep. Professionally built 302 engine mileage in picture is actuall miles on the engine. 3 speed manual transmission. High and low range 4-wheel drive w/lock in hubs. Has been rebuilt as a project looking to sell so I can buy another one and rebuild it. You can email me for more pictures.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a good looking CJ-3B. The seller provides a nicely detailed description. The drain holes have been filled in.
“Here is a very nice 1953 Willys CJ-3B that is roadworthy. I run errands in it frequently. I have the title in my name so no drama there. The Jeep is still mostly original with the Hurricane engine and T-90 transmission, both of which work great. The engine starts right up hot or cold, no smoke and is very smooth. I’ve had the Jeep for two years, and from what I’ve been told by the previous owner, the Jeep was totally refurbished 12 years ago. I have no reason to doubt that. The paint still has some shine but there are some surface rust spots. There is also rust on the drivers side support for the fender. Also some rust on a cross member under the tub near the rear wheel wells. Since I’m in the disclosing mode, the only gauges that are hooked up are the temperature gauge and the oil pressure gauge. The odometer works but the speedometer has a broken needle. The ampere meter and the gas gauge are not hooked up and will be good things for a “to do” list. The seats are not original and in pretty bad shape under the seat covers, but they look okay. The emergency brake cable needs to be replaced….”
UPDATE: SOLD ! An ewillys reader purchased this one.
Given the passenger side indents, I’d say this is a pretty new body.
“1953 Willys/Jeep CJ3B Complete frame up restoration .New tub, new soft top,Warn overdrive,12 volt,11″ front brakes. This is a fun vehicle to drive,motor runs excellent.”
This might be pretty nice. The towel between the hood and windshield suggests the owner has been at least somewhat careful with it.
“1953 willys jeep. recently painted. passanger seat needs refinished. runs excellent. 5000 OBO.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8688
“They are right hand drive. (Can be converted) Other than that all other parts interchange. We carry a full line of replacement parts. This Jeep is equipped with a 2″ lift, 32″ tires, aluminum mag wheels, bucket wrap around contour seats, It has High/Low 4×4 & 4×2 Tranny & Transfer case. Soft Top & Doors.

It has a throttle set for climbing the steepest grades with ease & no bouncing accelerator pedal. Diesel engine means long life, depenability & excellant braking desending the steepest of grades…..”
The price looks great on this. That said, many people don’t know that these were used during the war of 1959, a little known war pitting the Federalists vs. the Occupationists …
“
This is a very cool Vintage Willy’s Jeep. These were used during the war. Willing to consider a trade for a motorcycle (NO dirt bikes, street legal only please!). Contact me more complete details on the Willy’s. It does need some TLC and general clean-up since it has not been driven much. Carburator and brakes need work, tires and body are in good condition.”

This is a pretty CJ-3B. Remonter A Neuf is translated by google as “A New Wind”. And we all know google is all knowing 🙂
“JEEP WILLYS CJ3 1960 REMONTER A NEUF. POUR COLLECTIONEUR. MOTEUR 450 MILLES.”
The price on this looks great, but the is something odd about this jeep. Obviously, this is neither a ’42 nor a MASH jeep.
“Attention! Tonight’s movie will be MASH! Hi, this is a 1942 Willys Jeep. She runs great! It has the wonderful 4cylinder Willys engine that sounds and drives like just in the movies. Brand new alternator and horn. The tires on the Jeep are all like new. I also have extra Period Correct tires that are also like new, as well as many extra parts. The only thing this jeep needs is a master brake cylinder rebuild kit, Napa $14.95. Just never got around to doing it. This Jeep is just the greatest fun! Coronel Potter, Hawkeye and Radar would love this! Call Dan at (716) 795-3540 please leave a clear message. Thanks!”

(05/13/2015) It’s not perfectly restored, but looks good.
“This is an old Air Force Jeep! In great condition, has a very HISTORIC look! 3sp. We think it has a F4 Hurricane engine. This is a 1960 Willis Jeep! Call if you are interested.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Were $6500/each.
Both Jeeps look beautiful.
“

UPDATE: Was $2500. **SOLD**
This appears to be a great price on an updated CJ-3B.
“1960 Willys CJ, 289 Ford V8, 4 spd, 2500 firm must see. LOTS OF FUN!”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6800
(03/18/2010) The pics don’t reveal much.
