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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $700.
Yep, this is a steal. No motor though, but the body looks great.
“For sale Project 1954 Willys CJ-3B Jeep. Nice little jeep has transmission and transfercase, no motor. Clean title. Asking $700.”
UPDATE: SOLD. Were priced at $650.
Both are pretty rough.
“2 willys jeeps, 1 complete other for parts. Neither jeep runs. Package deal. Please no emails call only.”
There is some work to be done on this. Looks like something hit the passenger’s side.
“For Sale is a 1953 Willys CJ3B.
I started to restore this old jeep but decided to pay off some debt instead! (Thanks Dave Ramsey)!! I will tell you as much as I know about this great old Jeep.
We rescued this jeep from Canyon City Colorado sitting in a field. At some point in the jeeps long history, somebody replaced the engine with a ford 302 and cut up the front of the frame. When I purchased it, I decided that the old flat four should go back into the jeep so that is what I did. I found a good running gear complete with engine, transmission, transfer case and the whole works, frame included. I swapped the CJ3B body onto the new frame and running gear. That was the beginning of the restore. This jeep is not complete but would not take much to complete.
Here are a few things that I know for sure need to be completed before it can be driven. The wiring needs to be completely redone thanks to the ford engine swap. I was going to do the painless wiring from Kaiser Willys. The tires are completely shot but they do hold air. The brake system needs to flushed to be right but they did work a little when we unloaded the jeep. The clutch needs to be adjusted but it does work.
Here are some of the great things about this old classic. I painted the old jeep back to close to the original color and paint scheme. Wow have times changed!! The seats will work well and the frames are in good shape. It has a roll bar that is in good shape and bolted down. The inside of the tub is ready for some rhino liner. The engine DOES run well!! A little smoke from sitting for a while but sounds great.
I can tell you that this Jeep will never win any car shows but damn it still looks good for an almost 60 year old rig!! Yes there is rust under the floor pans but the pans themselves have been patched. There are dents and holes from previous proud owners having fun in this old Jeep making memories so I decided to leave them to tell a story!! Come take a look. I can’t meet you anywhere with it since it does not drive. I ensure you that if you are looking to restore an old jeep to make you smile and remember the good ole days or are looking to take the kids out for ice cream, this might just be it. It needs work and yes you will need a trailer or dolly to get it to its new home.
I do have some extra parts that will go with the CJ3B when it is sold. I might even find an extra Dana model 18 transfer case to pitch in the back.
Give me a call if this might be what you are looking for.

Cell 719-964-2138 Thanks for looking!!”

(03/13/2012) This isn’t 4wd, but it looks like it has a good body and rollcage. This appears to have a mb or gpw body.
“late 40s steel body willys jeep. set up for sbc and turbo 350, has dana 44 with limited slip diff and 410 gear, straight axel front end and leafs all around.. needs eng, trans, wiring, seats, and paint… good starter project $1200 ”

(05/06/2012) This can’t be very far from me as Pasco isn’t that big of city. I’m leaving town tomorrow, so I doubt I’ll have a chance to check it out. It might have a GPW frame based on the crossmember.
“1943 Willys Jeep. Doesn’t run. Lots of parts to go with it. $1500. Make me an offer. Contact Tom for more info.”
Even contacted me from Norway with a nice bit of history about the Jeepy Pedal Car. Thanks Even!
He writes, “As world war 2 came to a close a Norwegian engineer name Sigurd W. Ødegaard was looking for products he could produce in his mecanical workshop. One day during the summer of 1945 he was watching a military parade with a lot of jeeps when he got the idea to produce a small version of a jeep as a pedal car. A year later he produced his first pedal car, manufacturing them from 1946 until 1952. During this time his company made about 3000 units of this popular car . I was told they cost almost 100$ back then.
These small Jeeps are popular among collectors here in Norway and since Sigurd made them very solid there are still some around. The car is 1/3 scale from the GPW and are all steel with air filled wheels.
I have also heard that Sigurd W. Ødegaard was educated in the US and worked for Mack International Motor Company. At some point he travelled to the US to start production of this pedalcar over there, but returned to Norway after failing to get production going because the Korean War made it complicated to get enough steel for the pedal cars.”
UPDATE: Was $2000. **SOLD**
(09/28/2010) It sounds like this was a regular driver for years.
“CJ3A, civilian model with military hard top. please do not waist both of our times as a tire kicker. it’s a 1952 and i was driving it to work till i seen a small hose busted. very inexpensive and easy to change myself or yourself.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
I’m guessing by the front grille that this is some type of Tri-ang pedal jeep, based on what I can see from the CJ-3B Page. The back is different though. Lots of pics and even a video.
Here are a couple of old photos listed on eBay from a trip into the high desert in a CJ-2A.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3900
