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 .

Given the solid rear and extra gas tank on the passenger side, could this be an aftermarket body? I recently found an ad for a California company that sold 2A/3A bodies with gas inlets on both sides. Maybe they did 3Bs, too?
“1961 CJ3B. I bought this about 15 years ago with dreams of restoring it ( with some improvements). The body work is done and it looks awesome. Entire body was straightened, sand blasted and painted professionaly. I had the body shop rhino line the underside and engine compartment. There is no rust or bondo.
I also had a new Chevy 350 in it. I believe it has a T-18 transmission. All I know is the top speed is about 45 but it will climb anything. The tires and rims have less than 100 miles on them. This is a cool jeep and if I had time for it I would replace the suspension. Over 15k invested in bodywork and paint alone. ”

“I have for sale a 1958 Willys cj3b Jeep. Clean title in my name with original liscense plate. It is in need of work, but it is the perfect base for an off road project. The leafsprings are heavy duty, made by deaver springs. Original axles, transfercase, and transmission. It has a Chevy 283 which was running when it got parked. It needs a steering wheel, fuel tank, and radiator to move on its own power. The grill, fenders, and hood are near perfect with only minor blemishes. This is a very rare model that is in excellent original condition given its age. This is a great find for someone. ”
Not sure there’s much value here?

This was the Ayers jeep called “Play Mate.” They were longtime members of the Wandering Willys Jeep Club. I rode in this once or twice as a young kid. It had the distinctive grille for as long as I can remember. Has full floating rears, which was fairly common among club members. I’d love to see this referred to its former self.

Runs and plows, just missing its rear.
“I am selling my Willys CJ3B. It runs great! Has the classic Willys hydraulic pump system, including the hydraulic cylinder and plow, which all works beautifully…that alone is worth some dough… I don’t have much of a driveway, but I used it to plow my driveway all last winter anyways. All the mechanics work well, but the body was in tough shape when I bought it.. I welded on some steel and cut off the bed because it was literally falling off the frame. I was planning on making a wooden bed on the back, but I have lost interest in this project. Buy it and fix it up, or buy it for parts. Sadly I never had a title for it…but there are ways around that if you are resourceful”
