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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 $6500.
(10/20/2014) I can’t imagine this good looking 3B will last for sale long.

“I am selling an amazing jeep that has been a project for my dad and I for many years. It has never been kept outside and has only been driven on sunny days. The paint is top notch. The underbody and inside the jeep is sprayed with maroon bedliner to match the outside. All work has been done by a professional body shop/mechanic. This jeep has tons of power and is a blast to drive. You can not drive it without turning heads.
It has a Hurst Shifter, chevy engine, Muncy Transmission, Dick Cepek Tires and much more. We have put much more money into the jeep than we are asking. We both have just moved on to wanting the money for something different.
Here is a link of a video that was done on this jeep:

“1954 CJ3B Jeep. This jeep was in a barn for 15 years when the last owner got it.

(10/17/2014) This has military fenders and a military looking body (including indents and glovebox), but a CJ-3B cowl and hood.
“I am posting this for my friend ( yes you will be able to talk to him and title is in his name), it runs and we think it is the original motor, pretty basic jeep to restore or make into a hunting /off road rig. Been sitting in his yard so will need new rubber hoses/ tires but NO pack rat damage. Serious inquiries only.”

This 3B looks ready for the hills.
“Willy CJ3B Vin 454GB236847 Asking price $17,000.00
Engine original 4cycle “F” head
The ultimate 1950’s adventure package with all the vintage aftermarket additions; Sears aluminum cab, Braden power take-off winch with half inch cable, Warren hubs, 2nd gas tank under the passengers seat, and block heater. Includes a Bantam Trailer Corp. munitions type trailer, originally designed with the same wheels and rims to pair with the CJ. This trailer has a fabricated aluminum covered top. There are a total of 8 original rims with vintage bias-ply tube tires in great condition. Other additions include removable rear seat, handy man jack, CB radio set (with 12 to 6 volt converter), spotlight, conventional AM radio, vintage metal ice chest, and 7 vintage metal jerry cans. The vehicle spent more than fifty of it’s years living in the comfort of a garage. The upholstery is in great shape but the foam liner on the inside of cab has deteriorated.
The engine was rebuilt in 1963 by a precision motor shop in Denver where it had the crankshaft plated in hard chrome, all the moving parts were matched and balanced. In 1979 both the front and rear axles were fitted with positraction differentials. The original spider gear parts are still in good shape and included with jeep. A full set of chains is also included. The performance of The Little Red Jeep with positraction and chains in difficult situations is very impressive.”
