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 .
The parking lights and headlight bezels may be salvageable … not sure about the rest.

“Rusty treasure straight from the field.
1940’s Jeep Willys.
Your chance to own a piece of history.”
It’s listed asa. M-606, but I don’t see anything to indicate it is anything other than a CJ-3B. Notice that just behind the bumper it appears there are a couple of support bars that appear non stock.

This looks to be a good price. It has a WWII engine (or at least head) and a rare JC Whitney (uncut?) 3B body.
“I have a 1946 Willys CJ2A jeep running gear with an after market fiber glass body made by JC Whitney. The serial number for this jeep is 31612 in case you want to research the model. The engine is a 4 cylinder flat head and the transmission is a manual. The engine was gone through and was honed and align bored but never started. This is a project with lots of potential. I have a good title, would like $1000 or best offer.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4500.

“1954 Willys CJ3B. Great project. Extremely solid and straight. Has arctic hardtop. Engine and seats are missing but everything thing else is there. Find another 134 “F” head or perfect for a v6 or V8 conversion. Last driven in 1976. Stored under a carport for a majority of the time since then. It will be hard to find a better CJ3B to restore than this one. Has not been abused or molested like a most. If the ad is up it’s for sale. No trades too many projects already.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
“Selling my baby. It’s a stock 1953 Willys high hood. My daily driver for 5 months out of the year. A true survivor. The only thing that isn’t stock is the hubs. Original pto winch, engine, hard top, factory heater, 6 volt system, and many extra parts including engine block and tranny.
Runs and drives excellent and a ton of fun. This jeep is completely unmolested. You won’t find another like this and if you do it would cost a lot more than $5,500. It is also licensed as a collector (no more tab fees) Pictured with a period trailer that i will sell with the jeep for an additional $500. Price is firm. I will not negotiate at this great of a price. More pictures to come soon..”

(02/10/2018) This one has an unusual color scheme. Must have been used for some type of advertising. Sell incorrectly states that this is the “civilian version of the M38 U.S. Army Jeep”?
https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/d/1953-jeep-willys-cj-3b/6591873748.html
“Fun to drive 1953 CJ-3B. The is the civilian version of the M38 U.S. Army Jeep. This jeep has a new front disc brake conversion, so it stops great. New wheels and mud tires. New carburetor and electronic ignition for reliability. Seats have new covers and the vehicle has been vinyl wrapped, so the company’s logo can easily be removed. The electrical system has been upgraded from 6 volts to 12 volts. New headlamps and headlamp switch, and dash light. 3 speed manual transmission and transfer case. The F-134 engine has had the valves recently adjusted. The roll cage and front seat belts are there for safety. If you want a weekend cruiser, this is your vehicle. The original wheels and brakes are available. However, the original wheels will not fit over the disc brakes. Asking $6,800 based on $7,000 on Hagerty value of “Good”.
Could be value here.
