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 .
The seller lists this as a 1953 model, but the serial number suggest it is a 1954 jeep.

Projects or parts.
“I Have two jeeps I`ve purchased as projects and plans have changed as they often do.
The blue 47CJ2A is apart down to the body being loose but still on the frame, no motor.
The black jeep is a 47CJ2A frame with a 51CJ3B Tub and CJ2A grill and hood.
It ran when I put it in the back yard last fall. Lots of useable parts here.
New floor pans need to be installed and a few other new parts.
I only have one title for a 1947CJ2A I will do a bill of sale for the other.
The title is a vintage vehicle plate.
Its all got to go, Thanks for looking.”

Great price on a 3B. Includes a plow.
“VERY ORIGINAL Willy’s with rebuilt engine! New tires and new soft top and an electric plow! I am selling this vehicle for an elderly friend who can no longer drive.”
I’d say referred rather than restored. The dash has a radio and there’s no parking brake, among other minor issues.
“Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this nicely restored 1953 Willys Jeep CJ-3B. Finished in quintessential Olive Drab, the body was removed from the frame, all rust remediated, and the floors rhino-lined on both sides. New NDT military-grade tires; new canvas top and seat covers. It’s straight, solid, and never fails to turn heads or invite conversation.
No-nonsense interior has been upgraded with modern gauges and a modern AM/FM stereo with Bluetooth and aux input; speakers are housed in repurposed ammunition boxes and sound great.
1953 was the first year for the CJ-3B and is noted for its “high hood,” a design change required to accommodate the taller overhead valve “Hurricane” engine (a nice improvement in performance over the previous flathead).
Fewer than 700 miles on rebuilt engine and transmission with new clutch, starter, alternator, batter, fuel tank, tune-up items and rebuilt carb. Starts easily and runs and drives well. For more information about this 1953 Willys CJ3B for sale at Motorcar Studio in Atlanta, please call 404-692-5250.”
