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 .

“Selling my beautiful jeep willys. This is one of a kind. It was restored 5 years ago. You must see to appreciate.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Starting bid is $1600. Includes a plow, an extra engine, a CJ-5 chassis, and other parts.
“1965 Willys/Jeep CJ3B Meyer T5 plow setup (with title). Body and interior are rough, but mechanically sound. Good running F134 engine. Owned for 13+ years. Not road worthy, but reliable plow vehicle. Has PowerTrax lockers installed in both axles. Good base for rock-crawler project. Decent tires. Plow package includes spare parts including two working Hy-Low pumps, spare plow frame, cylinder, and original ElectorLift T5 pump. Also included is a CJ5 rolling chassis (no title) with an F134.
This motor has all new guts. Block was machined by NAPA and has .020 pistons, rods, and replacement crankshaft/bearings. Hasn’t even been broken in yet. Regret not painting the dipped block. Just surface rust though. Also included is a extra F134 engine, and a set of a front and rear axles, transmission and transfer case. Lastly, 3 totes, chucked full of various parts. Package deal sold as is. You have to come get it. LaPorte, IN near Toll Road. Prefer PayPal, cash will do. I’m getting old and the lockers make it too hard to steer without power steering. The hillbilly hardtop keeps the snow off, but I’d rather have heat and a cab… “
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $6000.
Looks like a good price.
“All original, canvas top, 4 cyl., roll bar, new front disc brakes, no modifications, runs good. 10,000 miles? Serious inquiries only.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $12,500

“One family owned 1955 CJ3B Willys Jeep with Warn Hubs and Ramsey Winch. Jeep is in very good condition, and has been lovingly maintained and kept garaged for more than 60 years. 1/4 ton 2 door, 4-cyl., F-head engine with 3 speeds, 4-wheel drive and compound low. She had an engine and drive train overhaul, exhaust manifold and brake replacement with all records available, and she has been repainted.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
(04/20/2019) This has VT tags, but never been to VT, which likely means a replacement title of some type.
“Since buying this ’54 Willys CJ-3B in Utah nine years ago, it has been garaged in Colorado (despite the VT tags, it’s never been to VT). It’s rust free and almost completely overhauled. Since I’ve owned it I have made the following improvements: Remanufactured engine, new radiator, new leaf springs, new struts, new fuel pump, new carburetor, new distributor cap and harness, new points, etc. It runs great. I am moving and have too many vehicles. I have a nearly new dove tail trailer (bought it for $2,600 and have put about 2-3 thousand miles on it) that I would sell for $1500 along with the Jeep. I have about $25,000 into this vehicle, including the initial acquisition cost. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty close. This is likely the most mechanically sound stock Willys on the market.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Has updates.
“350 motor 4 speed with 30% overdrive twin sticks. 5:38 gears arb air lock rear and lock right front. Custom solid frame. And a lot more. Runs good and goes anywhere!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
A project.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/426294744841533/
“I’m listing my Willy’s restoration. I have a kid on the way so cash would be more useful. However, the project will continue if it doesn’t sell for what I need. The engine, trans and transfer case have all been rebuilt. The trans will be picked up this week from the shop. The frame has been sanded and POR. The body, fenders, windshield frame and tailgate is all brand new and has not been mounted yet. The power train should all be mated in the next few weeks. After that the body goes on and she gets paint. Price will go up as the restoration continues.”
Not sure how much value is here, but it looks like multiple models for sale. I have included a phone number in the ad below for those folks not on FB.

“This is a solid 1954 CJ-3B with an original rust-free body and original-style drivetrain. It had a frame off restoration at some point. The correct F-head engine is from an M38-A1.
It has the correct T-90A transmission, Dana 18 transfer case, Dana 44 rear axle, and Dana 25 front axle.
It also has a Koenig 50 PTO with front and rear outputs. The front PTO powers the Koenig 151-J winch.
This Jeep is a wonderful vehicle to escape the stress of daily life. It will take you to spectacular scenery and introduce you to a great group of fellow vintage Jeep enthusiasts. It is nice enough to take to a car show and capable enough to take you out into the woods on a dirt trail.
I have done a lot of maintenance within the last year. Including a new radiator and all belts & hoses, new brake master cylinder and brake hoses, complete ignition system, 12-volt Optima red top battery with cut-off switch, and so on.
Windshield wipers and turn signals have been added. I installed a new Bestop Tigertop within the last year.
