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**
I’m sure the CJ-3B doesn’t run, unclear on the other two.
“I have a 1941 willys jeep,and a 1953 willys millitary jeep. I would like to trade for 4×4 chevy or sell for 3000. I also have a m1a2 millitary jeep for trade. lots of extra parts. Let me no what you have I am up for tradeing”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(07/09/2012) This CJ-3B has an interesting history. The seller lists this as a 1953 CJ-3B, but the serial number suggests 1955. It looks pretty stock and in good shape, too. I also has a rare pto lever in the cab that exits through the passenger side floor. It controls a rare crankshaft powered PTO.
“This is a super rare US Government BLM issue 1953 Willys CJ3B. It is one of the most rust-free, high optioned, low mileage and untouched Jeeps you’ll ever find, one of few left in this condition with all the original paint! Only 33,900 miles, a true survivor!
Originally a US Government BLM vehicle. All the original BLM badges and stickers still remain. Government vehicles are given meticulous maintenance and this Jeep has had such a high maintenance standard. It was decommissioned in 1974 and has been in storage since then for almost 40 years. It was stored indoors in a dry building out of the weather, hence the astonishing preservation. The last time it was registered was in 1973 and still has the inspection sticker on the windshield. It was properly stored with all the fluids drained, the gas tank isn’t rusted and radiator is healthy. This Jeep has low mileage due to storage. The original hood isolation material that is mounted on the grille is still in decent shape.
This Jeep is virgin in every way. The paint is in amazing condition for 1953 and still has a nice glossy shine to it. It’s just about next to impossible to find a Willys this old with shinny original paint. All the original insignia stenciling (“4 wheel drive” and “Willys”) on the hood and tailgate are still intact.
You just can’t do this Jeep justice when it comes to originality and condition. It has been left alone in every way and hasn’t been cut up or had holes drilled in it everywhere. It still retains the original single tail light/ reflectors and the original spare tire oak block. The fuel pump, spark plug wires, radiator and gas tank are even original! The carburetor has never been rebuilt and runs perfectly.
Mechanically this Jeep is sound, again it only has 33,900 miles on it and it runs like a top. The engine has a lot power and oil pressure even after the engine has warmed up (see pic of gauges). The transmission shifts perfectly with no grinding and the 4 wheel drive works great. It also comes with correct brand new 7.00-15 tire that really captures that vintage look.
I have owned several Willys throughout the years and have never seen one this solid! For those who aren’t as familiar with Willys CJs, about 95% (if not more) have structural issues up the wazoo and this CJ doesn’t. The floor supports/hat channels usually have large rust holes or are rusted out so badly that they are missing in spots and can become severely cracked and broken up. This Jeep is beautiful with no cracking or rusted out floor supports and still has the majority of the original paint underneath the floors. It is 99% rust free. All of the floors are 100% rust free, the only rust on the jeep is on the passenger rear, about a 1″x2″ spot by the tailgate and from what I’ve seen this is very common and very minor considering. This Jeep has never been in an accident or had any body work performed, as mentioned before this it’s virgin with no bondo PERIOD!
This Jeep has all original gauges, switches, hardware etc. and all gauges and equipment work, quite the hard find! The jeep has all the original wiring harness with the factory woven cloth sheathing still intact in great condition, you’ll probably never find another Willys with this much originality. This is a high optioned Willys and was fitted from the factory with Koenig hardware, a Koenig winch and matching Koeng hard top. Other options include lock out hubs, bug guard (not mounted) and Harrison heater. This is a special Koenig winch and works wonderfully; it is unlike most, it runs off the crank shaft in front instead of off a PTO mounted on the transfercase. It has unique controls mounted on the passenger side floor. When I say this jeep is all original-untouched I mean it, it has not been taken apart or dismantled.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $250.
Looks like a good price on a PTO.
“Braden PTO: Made by Braden Winch Co., Model cj-100. The output shafts are for front or rear aplication. W/ shifter. Bolts to back of transfer case. For willys cj2a, cj3a, cj3b. see pics.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7250.

This looks like a good price, though the body appears rough. The Magic Valley is an area a couple hours south of Boise.

This appears solid and stock.
“I have for sale an all original 1956 Jeep Cj3b it is in very good condition for its age. It has never been restored and is all original. I have been collecting jeeps a long time and this is one of the closest to original jeeps I have ever seen. I have owned it over a year now and drive it about twice a week. It is currently tagged and insured. It is also one of the most well documented jeeps I have come accross It has all the receipts for everything ever purchased for maintnance on it. I also have the original invoice and title from 1956 where it was purchased new in atlanta for a little over 1700.00 You will not find a better jeep for a restoration as there is little to no rust. The engine and electrical is still all 6 volt. It runs very well and can be driven anywhere. Top speed is around 55-60 Mph. Tires are in good shape. Top and doors are also in good shape and have no rips or tears. Price is firm you can email me for any ?’s”

The seller just bought this and now wants to buy something else.
“1976 Mitsubishi J58/CJ3B/Willys Original 24,500miles
I just recently purchased this and in between the 2 weeks it took to be delivered from Atlanta, GA, another one-of-a-kind deal came my way, so I will have to let this one go. Someone will be very lucky to get one of these rare Mitsu CJ3B’s.
Only about a dozen of these make it into the US through 2 importers due to the strict guidelines for the importation of used vehicles. The majority of these that are sold out of Japan go to Europe and South America. Only the nicest ones make it into the US and are usually presold before they are ever off the boat and this is one of them. This was the personal Jeep of one such importer.
I am not new to early CJ’s. I have restored about a dozen pre-1965 CJ’s. Four of them being body off CJ3B’s, so I can tell you I know these Jeeps. Prior to buying this one, I had never seen one of these – only pictures. So what you have here is a CJ3B with far better running gear, motor, power, heating system, with defrosters, that the early Willy’s with the overhead cam hurricane motors just did not have.
The only thing that was added to this Jeep was the CB Antenna and the gas can, which is mounted directly to the tailgate. The spare tire mount does not swing out like American CJ’s. It folds down and is not mounted to the tailgate.
Everything works on this Jeep – Radio, Turn signals, everything. I’ve only had this Jeep one week and have driven it about 10 miles. Being a 110HP, it is REALLY snappy and it is a 4-speed and will cruise effortlessly at 60-65MPH without overdrive and without Warn locking hubs, which can be installed. . . ”
