About eWillys
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.
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 .
(06/11/2012) This was available at a yard sale this past weekend. Call to find out if it is still available.
“I bought this Willys Jeep as a 1952 but think it is a 1953. It is a CJ3B with the best engine I ever heard on an old jeep. It is a flat fender jeep and buyers need to look at this jeep. Come and see at my yard sale on July 4,5,6,&7 at 2130 U S Rte 5 N in Windsor, Vermont if it is still here. 8026745057 wes”
(07/13/2012) Looks like this has a reproduction body. Nice cage mounted to the frame, too.
“!953 Willys Jeep CJ3B high hood. It h as a mail jeep frame with the rear springs outside the frame rail. 406 Chevy small block with over 500 HP. Fresh Turbo 400 trans brake and stall converter, with a slap shifter.. Dana 20 xfer case attached to a Tom Woods drive shaft. Built Ford 9″ rear end. Front is a Dana 25 and it works. I never need it except to turn. Body is in good shape and looks sharp. Tires are in excellent condition. Aftermarket steering column also. Goes down the road very well for the year. It does need some minor work to finish.Crack in the front windshield. No top. What you see is what you get. The engine is built very well. Lunati cam and roller rockers. Aftermarket heads. This jeep is fast and fun. Ran a 4.82 in the sand. I will add more pictures as weather allows. Or send privately. Thanks.ask any questions. Looking for a new project. Time to move on. I will not ship, I will assist in helping a shipper with the shipping. I give no warranty what so ever. This is a built fast fun jeep. Hard to find high hood in good shape.”

“1953 Willys Jeep CJ-3B. Great Project Vehicle. I cannot complete because of my work schedule. The pictures are of the day I brought it home. Since then I have removed
the Koenig metal top, hood, windshield, fenders, radiator and grille. I have the stock engine on an engine stand. The engine was running when removed from another Jeep. The transmission, transfer case and axles are still mounted. The Body pan is pretty solid, with some surface rust and floor pan repairs needed. The Meters and heater equipment I have stored in my garage. I have a 12volt alternator and Original oil bath type air filter. I have purchased replacement right hand lug studs and nuts to replace the left hand original and old right hand ones. I also have some new replacement brake parts. The metal doors to match the top are not in the photos but I have them.
I am interested in selling the whole package but would entertain other offers. Would like to get $1500.00 cash for the whole package but will consider cash plus shooting sports equipment. Make me an offer. Email me and I will respond. Thanks!”
“This is a project of epic size, or a parts vehicle. Original flat 4cyl single barrel carb, body is shot. Lost storage and hate to have to send to the bone yard, but need to get it out of the yard. Start that father/son project while he’s in preschool and have it ready for him to drive at 16!!”
