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 $3200.
(11/20/2014) It’s a project.
“Rolling CJ-3B chassis with Chevrolet 4.3L V6, rebuilt Borg-Warner T90 transmission and Model 18 transfer case included. Desert veteran needs your attention to get back on the trail. Project started with new lift kit and fresh tires.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $35,500.
(12/23/2014) Looks like a fun rig.
“Ground up build 1953 Willy’s 3B. Everything new or rebuilt. Blown Small block BDS 4-71 Street charger. Turbo 350 automatic, all steel. Ron Francis Wiring, tilt column… too much to list.
Hugger Orange with gold pearl overlay.
Over 3000 miles on build.”
UPDATE:Price dropped to $1300.
(12/01/2015) It’s a project or parts jeep.
“Bought the Jeep about 6 months ago wanting a new project and I just don’t have time for it. The frame is straight and solid with minor surface rust, the drivetrain is complete. Hurricane 4 cyl (does not rotate), Dana 44 offset rear, Dana 18 transfer case and and the Dana 25 (maybe 27?) front axle, all original. The tub is more or less shot, I was planning to chop it up and make it into a hot rod of sorts but a full restoration would almost certainly require a new tub. The Jeep comes with a good amount of extra parts I had collected to begin the project. The jeep has NO TITLE, the vin plate on the hood is long gone and these things didn’t have the vin stamped anywhere else, but that being the case, once you’ve built it as you desire the DMV can come out and look it over for any vin numbers to ensure it isn’t stolen and then issue a new vin for you to title it under.
Extra parts:
-Dana 20 transfer case in excellent condition
-Dana 44 narrow-track rear from a CJ-5, centered housing, in great shape, unsure of gear ratio.
-Matched pair of narrow-track axles, AMC 20 rear and Dana 30 front from a CJ-5, complete with brakes and steering linkage. Great shape, unsure of ratio.
-GM SM465 4 speed transmission, could use a rebuild but would need to have the mainshaft swapped to mate to the Dana 20 anyway, so a rebuild should be done in the process.
-NP205 transfer case that came with the transmission when I picked it up, not appropriate for this build, but it’s yours if you want it.
– CJ5 Frame that needs to be straightened”

UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/25/2014) NIce ventilating windshield.
“Has the correct 4cyle fhead engine looks sharp fiberglass body never need to worry about body rust again steering has been completely redone the is by far the easiest driving cj3b you will ever come across very tight. Frame off resto Frame has a coat of osfo as well as paint this thing runs like a top. 4wd great. does not have top. would like to trade for 1950’s truck in good shape or toyota land cruiser. This truck is not junk so don’t call me with yours. If its not running or its a rust bucket save both of your times.”

(12/06/2014) It might be worth a look.
“My ’54 is numbers-matching and pretty much all original from stem to stern. It has 66764 miles and has spent all it’s life in Montana and Oregon. It has been driven a mere 1800 miles since 1993. It is equipped with a Koenig Model 330 all-steel cab and Koenig PTO King Winch Model 151J (the PTO is not connected for some reason). And it has a HEATER!!
The engine runs well. 6V battery is new. Clutch, exhaust, shocks, tires, and brakes have low miles on them– however due to lack of use the brakes need some attention. I added fluid and replaced both front brake hoses– and then the weather hit and I set the project aside. Lights also want a little help. Gauges mostly work. One broken piece of (flat) cab glass left-rear.
The Jeep was originally red. At some point it was re-painted red by hand and has great patina. Yes, there is rust– but I’m going to call it ‘average’. Oregon title is clean.
I can send pix– but come take a look! I’m just west of Pilot Butte….”
UPDATE: Was $1900. **SOLD**
This later model CJ-3B has the large speedometer.
“Jeep Willis runs drives excellent, engine has been rebuilt, good brakes, drives good on the road or in the woods.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
Runs and drives. No title.
“1953 CJ 3B. F-134 “Hurricane” 4 Cylinder Engine, manual transmission, runs, drives, 4 wheel drive works good plow works.. Very solid. Fix a few things and drive it as is or restore… Has been a yard truck it’s whole life. Sold with bill of sale… Serious inquires only thanks…”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
“This rust free 3B has the potential to be one of the nicest around. This is the same jeep that was for sale in Puolsbo in 2011, I haven’t had time do finish it so it is in the exact condition as it was in Poulsbo. EVERYTHING IS NEW OR FULLY RESTORED! Have 99% of the parts to finish the work- a little more and it will be complete. Over 17000.00 in receipts.
