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 .
Has an updated engine. Appears worth a look.
“She is 63 years old but she she still runs. Has a v6 Chrysler dauntless engine conversion and she has lots of original equipment. Ignore the paint – it is a CJ not military model”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1850.
Appears worth a look.
“1964 Kaiser Willys CJ3-B Jeep $1850 OBO
Army surplus vehicle built on military contract, but not an M606. Motor needs work; perfect for rock crawler project or ??? Good spare parts for your CJ3-B project.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Most of the photos show a body, but then the seller notes there is no body.
“For sale 53 willys cj3b with cab and snow plow. This is a parts jeep. There is a frame and motor that has everything rebuilt. The former owner rebuilt everything on the frame and axels,motor, trans, dif, brakes and steering to new. He lost all the body and all the hardware in shed fire. The frame was in a different shed. Have both titles.$3000.00 for everything. Cj3b’s are rare.”
No pics provided.
“1961 jeep cj data plate says its a cj3b, wheelbase is correct for that model; 80 inches. Has the original hurricane 4 c,ylinder engine, freshly built carb and added an electric fuel pump 3 spd trans with hi/lo transfer case. Engine doesn’t knock or smoke. Clutch good, tranny shifts smoothly. Had been sitting for three forevers when I bought it, was not running. Still has original oil-bath air filter. Body is straight, some rust repair has been done in the past, but it is basically sound. At some point someone changed the front clip because it has the rounded hood and fenders, not the high hood and square fenders that are correct for the cj3b. It needs a restoration. Needs windshield, fuel tank, and the brakes need going through. I have a set of seats from a honda accord that I was going to use in it, but never got that far with the project. Neat little jeep, just needs re-doing and a good home. I am going to attempt to list pictures but if they don’t make the post I will be happy to text them to your phone. I can deliver this jeep if necessary.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500 …. Terry noticed this is an ex-airline 3B. Note the angled passenger rear wheel well. It looks as if someone grafted another body piece onto the back of this to make it appear normalish.
I’m gonna guess it doesn’t run. Interesting dash mod.
“I have a flat fender high hood Willys I would like to trade for a street legal motorcycle preferably a sportster or Harley basket case, might take a dual sport or a cruiser if it’s worth it”
Looks solid.
“Willys Jeep CJ3B 1953. Runs like a top. Body off restoration 1000 miles ago. Great WWII era civilian utility vehicle painted to look like the military version. First year of new Willys F-head “Hurricane” engine…producing 75 hp. 36% more than the 55 hp produced by the previous flat head “Go Devil” Willys Jeep engine. Motor just rebuilt. Everything works like new.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(11/24/2015) This modified jeep looks to have a bobcat 3B body.
“This is a cool looking off road vehicle! It turns heads and is fun to drive. This amazing vehicle is located in Albany, Oregon and we encourage everyone to come take a look at it and drive it for yourself. The best opinion is your opinion.
Exterior: The exterior of this Jeep is in amazing condition. The fiberglass body is in great shape, with a colored match bed lined interior. Custom steel bumpers both front and rear with a bad a** cage gives this willys it’s aggressive look.
Interior: Fitted with two new lowback bucket seats, a modern ebrake for safety, and new gauges, just get in a cruise or hit the trails. We have taken over 60 pictures of this vehicle. Please look over all of them and give us a call if you have any questions.
Mechanics: The heart of this rig is a GM small block 327v8, backed by a 3 speed manual with overdrive, longtube headers with side exhuast, great looking rims and tires,as well as much more.
This V8 starts right up, idles fine, and has good power and acceleration and drives straight down the road. The Odometer currently reads 01, but has not been verified if it is original. Inspected, serviced and detailed and it’s ready to drive anywhere you need.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000

“1953 Jeep Willys CJ-3B Project. TRAILER IS NOT INCLUDED
Sitting on 1971 CJ-5 chassis, titled as a 1971 Willys, I have a clear Colorado title in my name.
Dauntless V-6, 3speed, power steering, Offenhouser 4brl intake and valve covers, new edelbrock carb, new HEI Distributor, new clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, and fork. 8000lb winch, Tuffy Security box in rear, new Best Top Tiger top, new factory style gauges, new windshield, new wiring harness and fuse block, new 31×10.50 15 BFG KM2’s including spare, new steel wheels, new aluminum radiator, new heater, new baffled turn downs off headers. Duel battery set up mounted in ammo cans mounted to rear fender wells, tilt steering column. Sure I am forgetting some new parts, but that’s all I can think of right now.
What it needs done: Wiring is about 1/2 done, needs finished. Mounts built for new aluminum radiator, and radiator installed. Carburetor and fuel system cleaned out, it ran , but fuel has been sitting in it for about 3 or 4 years now. Brake system, brakes work but I have never been in them, and bearings gone through. Body is rough and has bondo but looks good from a distance. Don’t really want to sell it so no low ballers, but I am moving and don’t really have a place to keep it. Just trying to recoup a little bit of the thousands I have invested in it. ”
