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 .
This just appeared on Facebook. There appears to be a late model CJ-3B brush jeep, a CJ-3A, and a M-38A1. The dark 2A/3A is not for sale. There are supposed to be other parts as well. For those not on Facebook, the seller’s name is Barb watson number and her phone number is 513 304 0141
Given the half top, there seems to be value. Starting bid is $900.
“I am selling a 1954 Willys Jeep. Jeep is in need of work to get it running but many original parts are included. Jeep has plow frame but no plow. Frame is in good shape. What you see in the pictures is what you get with the jeep. Tires are flat so buyer is responsible for transporting jeep from location. Jeep has original title.”

“For sale is a 1985 Mitsubishi Jeep 4X4 with diesel engine.
This is a Mitsubishi clone of the CJ 3B Jeep; it has the two stick transfer case four speed transmission, lock out hubs, front and rear Power Take off, power brakes, radiator bug screen with chrome chaff guard,. heater and defroster, new tires, soft top with doors and a top for the summer time.
I have owned this for about 4 years it was imported into the USA by usdriveright./com and I bought it and had it delivered to me, this is 100% street legal, I have it insured through state farm.
It runs like a dream, it has glow plugs and starts every time.
The engine is used in Mitsubishi forklifts so it is industrial. (4DR5)
It is right hand drive like a mail jeep.
I do not know the actual miles because it is in kilometers and was imported from Japan but everything is very tight. This thing runs really good and does very economical for fuel, I have driven it around Topeka and get 35 to 37 MPG, It will go 60 mph but I do not like going that fast however 45 is very comfortable.
I took it to the cruse in car shows last year and it gets plenty of attention.
I have five of the original wheels, four are on the ground and one is in the garage, I have four aluminum wheels that will go with this, one of them is already mounted on the spare wheel.
This has a mount to attach your high lift jack.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $850.

(09/26/2014) It runs, but needs work to be road worthy.
“61 Jeep CJ3B. Engine and drive train are ok but the body needs replacing. Mileage on odometer is 42,000 and believed to be correct. This Jeep has spent the last 23 years sitting outside. Will start right up when the carburetor is primed but is not roadworthy. The frame and underpinnings are solid making this a great restoration project. Other than the 31″ rims and 2″ lift it is original. I have new brake lines and carburetor that will convey. All parts are available through KaiserWillys.com. To many projects so this one has to go. Is registered and I have a clean title. “

(12/17/2014) Engine is stuck.
“Howdy Folks, Up for sale is whats left of a 1953 Willys CJ3B. Its someones doodle bug project. Not sure what his plan was. What I do know is it has a F head engine that is stuck. Has a three speed transmission attached to a high low transfer case. The frame is bobbed just in front of the rear arch and the rear axel is welded to it.
What is interesting is the two unusual power take offs. One on the back of the transmission and another dozer gear running off the parking brake drum. I have a pallet of spare parts that go with, like extra head, transmission, transfer case, some sheet metal.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** was $8000.
“Only 4,200 miles great shape. It has a PTO driven winch in the front and an PTO on the passenger side.Has an original non directional spare tire.Everything works and rust free.Price is firm. It was used by a Fire Department and stored in a heated garage that’s why it has such low miles.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $9500.
(09/30/2015) This is incorrectly listed as a 1947. Even if the year was correct, it isn’t all original.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Engine has a knock.
“This is the most coveted Jeep there is. The majority of the Jeep has been restored. It has sat in my garage for 14 years and it’s time to sell it to someone who can appreciate it. It does start but has a knock in one of the Pistons. The interior was professionally sprayed with linex and the majority of the exterior has been restored and painted. The paint has cracked in a couple placed where there is a seam between body parts. Overall, this Jeep is beautiful! It wouldn’t take much to make it amazing.
The motor was rebuilt in 2001 and after 500 miles a piston started knocking. I parked it in the garage and it’s been there ever since. It’s been converted to 12 volt and I had a 2 barrel carb put on. It has a Clifford header new wheels and tires. I also put a tuffy center consol in it. Otherwise this Jeep is stock.”
UPDATE: **Sold** Was $3000. Now listed here.

Parts vehicle with no drive train.
“Rare 1953 Willys CJ3B Highhood Jeep. Rolling Chassis. No motor, transmission, transaxle or drive shafts are included. The floor of the tub is in pretty good shape with no rust through. The tub will need some attention though as the rear corners are pretty beat up. The differentials have been set up as spring over axle but I know nothing about the condition of the axle internals. The frame will need new shackle mounts all around as the current mounting of the springs to the frame is ugly.”
