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 on eBay.
I never did find the gas filler for this. Maybe it is in the rear passenger side?

Bruce spotted this one. The seller is incorrect that this is a M606 style body.
“1962 Willys CJ3b Jeep 70,200 miles in good running condition. Olive drab M606 military style body is 99% rust free.
Comes with pioneering tools (ax & shovel) spare tire, spare fuel can, pintel hitch & bumperettes.
Engine is a Willys “L” head Four cylinder 134ci that does smoke a little but runs smoothly. Transmission is the T-90 3 speed. Warn lock out hubs were installed.
The front seats are original and in solid condition, the rear seat is is from a CJ5. The Jeep is topless.
I have owned this 3b for over 30 years and many parts have been replaced over time. She is not perfect but in very good condition for a 50 year old Jeep.
Please call to arrange a time to see this classic.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
(08/16/2012) This looks good.
“Engine runs good. Starts up right away. ( I was told the engine was rebuilt ) It moves under it’s own power, however, the brakes recently went out ( left rear cylinder bad )
It received a ‘quicky’ paint job by a previous owner. ( Rust has been repaired ) The interior has been re-done. It has a passenger ‘bench’ seat. ( rare option ? ) I’m told the truck originally came from Missouri.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6000
(09/10/2012) Apparently this has a few bugs.
“Restored with 800 miles, 37,000 prior to that. Ebay buy that had a buggered up engine mount and “details” that need attention , being done by someone who knows right from wrong.
15 inch wheels, 12 volt, roll bar, soft top”

UPDATE: Was $7500. **SOLD**
(01/08/2012) At least the seller acknowledges it isn’t all original.
“This is rare, most left the USA never to return.
It runs, shifts and stops, I have driven it in parades the last few years. It has been covert-ed to 12 volts and has a few other minor mods but for the most part it is stock and un-restored.
Body and frame numbers are gpw and match, engine is also gpw #’s, ID tag date is January 1944, original and unmodified body (except windshield) with very little rust. also have Pentagon manufacturing hardtop that goes with it. The trans, transfer-case and axles look original for the year.”

(08/24/2012) Looks nice.

It was restored with all the original parts., i.r everything was taken off, sandblasted, cleaned and repaired (as needed) and put back on. The front seat cushions are not new- there were on it when I got it. It had a new wiring system an all lights and horn work perfectly.The beauty of this jeep is the original data plates – often missing and the original hood number – often sandblasted off or painted over.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.

(05/18/2012) Nice looking jeep though. There is another rolling chassis behind it, too.
“I have known this jeep since 1971. High school friend of mine drove it when we worked at Kroger’s (1971-1974), he drove it to High School. I rode in this Jeep many times when I was younger. His family owned it from the late 1950’s until my Dad bought it around 1998-2001. Body, motor and all major parts are original to this jeep. My friend’s dad bought it from the WV Dept of Highways Surplus sale in the late 1950’s-early 1960’s and used it on his farm. When he bought it, “Corry Naval Base” was stenciled on the cowl, this is how it was when the State of WV received it after the war. I believe this Naval Base is in Florida(Pensacola I believe). I have receipts of paint and body work alone, that total over $16,000…not counting other work, that was done to the jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000
This looks like a nice build.
