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 $1500
This shouldn’t last long. Has a flathead motor for some reason.

Needs master cylinder at the very least.
“Everything on this jeep is the original Willys parts with exception of the front seats. Currently the vehicle is being parked and covered until sold.
It does have a HARD top! and It does run but would need a master cylinder.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
‘Dirty George’ is a fun looking 3B that was an ex ice racer.

“1954 Willys Jeep CJ-3B – Complete ground up restoration in 1996. Engine rebuilt at that time, including hardened valve seats for unleaded fuel. Still has the original oil bath air cleaner. Upgraded to 11″ drums all around. Has 2-1/2″ springs on it with 31X 10.5 tires 75+% tread. Full size spare. All stock running gear, 5-38 gearing with lock-right locker in the rear. Has custom fully welded Bumpers front and rear both with 2″ receivers. Rear bumper includes spare tire mount. Also added power steering. Locker, bumpers and power steering work was done around 1998. Jeep was used regularly (every – other weekend or so) from 1996 through 2000. Since 2000 it has been started and driven very little. I replaced the fuel tank and installed a new optima red top battery within the last year. It does need a good tune-up, but everything is working. This is a very clean rust free jeep. We are coming up on 20 years that this Jeep has been in our family and it has always been garaged. “
Looks like a parts jeep.
“1953 willy jeep cj3b has title. Good for parts or restoration. The engine transmission and drivetrain are all free nothing is seized, solid frame. $600 or best offer”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900
(06/04/2014) It’s listed as a ’48, but the body is clearly a 3B.
“1948 Willys Jeep
I have owned the Jeep for several years and used it around our ranch, never abused, always stored inside. The tires are almost new, I had the driver’s seat recovered last year and just maintained it the way it should be. The reason for selling the Jeep is our need for a UTV, otherwise we would keep it. The brakes need some work, master cylinder. Almost rust free. For the year and never totally restored it’s in great shape. It’s not perfect !!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1300.
(06/22/2014) No title.

The only photo is of the CJ-2A. There’s a CJ-3A and MB parts jeep, too.
“I have decided to get out of the old Jeep hobby and sell all of my remaining vehicles and parts. I will attempt to sell everything to one buyer first and if no singe buyer emerges I will list everything separate.
I have:
1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A,
L-134 flathead 4 cylinder with less than 2000 miles on rebuild, Solex carb, Petronix ignition and 12 volt conversion. T90/18 trans and transfer case, Dana 44 rear. Body was taken off frame and repaired with pop riveted sheet metal. Floor boards and hat channels were replaced along with tool compartment floor. The Jeep is not original in anyway but is period correct. Nothing on this Jeep came on a 1946 Jeep. The windshield frame is off a 1942 GPW, the hood off a 49, body tub somewhere around 1950, engine is late 40’s or early 50’s, transfer case and transmission are earlier pieces with equal length handles, etc. It has been rebuilt dozens of times over its life.
Paint is rattle can and looks like it, but the body is very solid.
New gauges except fuel, no fuel gauge in vehicle. Tail lights are new and headlights and marker lights work. No turn signals, horn, or wipers. No top.
The description makes it sound real good, but the picture doesn’t seem so flattering.
“All metal body, original dash, custom floorboard, boxed in frame-crossmembers – built in lift kit. 1969 ford 302 11 1/2 compression solid lifter edelbrock manifold scattershield rack n pinion steering Dana transfer case Dana 44 front end disc brakes Dana 60 rear 456 gears Holley carb top loader tranny hurst shifter fuel cell – glass – 31 inch tires roll cage .. $5000 or OBO”

“Willys 3B.
All there with custom paint.
Engine fire took its toll. Carb melted. Distributor destroyed.
Was running when caught fire. Gear boxes protected by bucket.
Great donor vehicle. I have many parts unique to these vehicles.
Call to see if I have what you are looking for.”
UPDATE: Was $4500. **Status Unknown**
Runs and drives.
“This is an early flat fendered Willys Jeep. Primitive and reliable. The CJ-3B has a higher hood to allow clearance for the overhead valve F-134 motor (early CJ-2s and WW2-type Jeeps had flat head motors). This is the 2nd CJ-3B I have owned. It runs and drives fine. It has an overdrive unit, and while it is not too smart to drive an old Jeep fast, it will do 65 mph. About two years ago, we replaced the entire braking system – master cylinder, wheel cylinders, drums shows, brake lines and silicone brake fluid – and installed an electronic distributor for reliability. The windshield has a crack, so it will need a new one. This Jeep is not perfect, but starts for me every time, and is generally very solid for a 60 year old Jeep. I have an after market tailgate and a few other small parts. Tires old, but have tread and hold air. I have a file of receipts that indicate extensive mechanical rebuilds in the ’80s – and not many miles since then according to previous owner. I have owned the Jeep for about 7 years.”
