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 .

“1958 Willys CJ3B
This is the “High Hood” Jeep that replaced the CJ3A with the introduction of the Hurricane engine. That engine replaced the flathead Go Devil with overhead valves and a little more horsepower. I bought the vehicle in October of 2011 with the intention of a full restoration, but as I got into it I decided to concentrate on the mechanicals and make it roadworthy and reliable, then use it for light off-roading.
Since then I have just under $ 12,000 in it. $ 3500 up front, and $ 8200 in parts. Here’s a partial list:
• Full engine teardown and rebuild, mid 2014. Only about 600 miles since then. Rings haven’t even fully seated yet.
• Monstaliner bedliner on floor
• New speedometer and cable
• New gas tank
• New temp switch
• New carb
• New water pump
• Grab handle
• Heavy duty shackles
• Air cleaner hose
• New springs and shocks
• Headlight switch
• New u-joints rear
• New radiator
• Five new NDCC tires and tubes (period correct, like mil tires)
• New spare tire mount
• New windshield
• New battery
• New clutch Continue reading
UPDATE: Price dropped to $9,500.

(11/04/2015) “1958 Willys CJ-3B. Runs great. I replaced transmission with new from Kaiser Willys last year. Clutch was in really good shape so did not replace. Also installed Warn premium locker hubs and did extensive brake work and also rebuilt some of steering. Body is in nice shape with no meaningful rust (body and paint was done by a previous owner). Paint has a few minor flaws. Engine starts and runs well. Tires are excellent condition. Horn is missing, as is emergency brake cable. Cannot validate mileage.”

“The previous owner was a Portland motorcycle dealer who imported it with several other cars in early 2015. The current owner purchased it a few days after it landed, and worked hard to get a legal title and registration in Oregon. It’s been driven over 1000 miles since, and the owner admits he would’ve added more miles if it hadn’t sat for nearly 6 months while he dealt with the DMV. The truck is currently used for commuting on nice days and for running errands.”

(04/24/2016) It needs work.
“I have a 1953 Willys CJ-3b High Hood Jeep. The drive-train and engine are not original, It has been swapped with the drive-train from a 1971 Jeep Comanche. Axles, Transmission, Transfer Case, even the engine which is rebuilt, needs exterior put together though. The Engine is a Buick 225 Odd-fire V6. Big upgrade from the original F Head 4 Cyl. The frame is in good shape, one small split about 5″ behind the front bumper. Now the body needs love no ? But it does come with a brand new rear floor panel. All body parts are available. It has been converted to a 12 volt electrical system. Almost every single piece of this Jeep I have. Close to every nut and bolt all separated in individual bags and labeled. I also have a fair amount of new parts as well. All in all after body work, final engine assembly, and the obvious putting everything back in place this could be a very fun summer rig if someone is looking for a fun project.”

“The Last year of the 3B Hi hood and I was told that this is the only year the hard top on the 3B was a factory installed. This is the original (colors match) hard top for this jeep. I am the 3rd owner. It runs well and drives good. Body is rusty as you can see. It is all there and all original. All the Glass is perfect. Engine starts easily and sounds great.”
