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 .
Robin spotted this ad. As he noted in his email to me, it is fun to read Craiglist if only to discover the strange things people will say in their ads. In this case, neither of us have ever seen someone concerned about altering their jeep into a “Weed spraying rig”.
“53 jeep willys, runs excellent, rebuilt 4 cyl motor, rebuilt transmission. Really neat antique. Will not sell it to you if you want to turn it into a weed spraying rig! Wife says it must go”
“Tired of seeing the exhaust system hanging low, you won’t see it on this one. Everything, including the transmission is tucked up tight. Paint job still looks good, has some scratches, but no dents or rust. If your are looking for a vehicle that will turn heads wherever you go this is it.

The jeep’s odd perspective makes it look like it is slowly melting into the ground. The passenger side is crooked, the fender is collapsing, yet the grass around it is growing and vibrant. It seems a tribute to Salvador Dali. If that thing (flatbed trailer?) wasn’t in the background this could be a beautiful picture.

There is some work to be done on this. Looks like something hit the passenger’s side.
“For Sale is a 1953 Willys CJ3B.
I started to restore this old jeep but decided to pay off some debt instead! (Thanks Dave Ramsey)!! I will tell you as much as I know about this great old Jeep.
We rescued this jeep from Canyon City Colorado sitting in a field. At some point in the jeeps long history, somebody replaced the engine with a ford 302 and cut up the front of the frame. When I purchased it, I decided that the old flat four should go back into the jeep so that is what I did. I found a good running gear complete with engine, transmission, transfer case and the whole works, frame included. I swapped the CJ3B body onto the new frame and running gear. That was the beginning of the restore. This jeep is not complete but would not take much to complete.
Here are a few things that I know for sure need to be completed before it can be driven. The wiring needs to be completely redone thanks to the ford engine swap. I was going to do the painless wiring from Kaiser Willys. The tires are completely shot but they do hold air. The brake system needs to flushed to be right but they did work a little when we unloaded the jeep. The clutch needs to be adjusted but it does work.
Here are some of the great things about this old classic. I painted the old jeep back to close to the original color and paint scheme. Wow have times changed!! The seats will work well and the frames are in good shape. It has a roll bar that is in good shape and bolted down. The inside of the tub is ready for some rhino liner. The engine DOES run well!! A little smoke from sitting for a while but sounds great.
I can tell you that this Jeep will never win any car shows but damn it still looks good for an almost 60 year old rig!! Yes there is rust under the floor pans but the pans themselves have been patched. There are dents and holes from previous proud owners having fun in this old Jeep making memories so I decided to leave them to tell a story!! Come take a look. I can’t meet you anywhere with it since it does not drive. I ensure you that if you are looking to restore an old jeep to make you smile and remember the good ole days or are looking to take the kids out for ice cream, this might just be it. It needs work and yes you will need a trailer or dolly to get it to its new home.
I do have some extra parts that will go with the CJ3B when it is sold. I might even find an extra Dana model 18 transfer case to pitch in the back.
Give me a call if this might be what you are looking for.
“This is a very original Jeep. Very little rust in the floors as it was a California Jeep. This has a Buick 225 V6 and 11″ brakes, but is otherwise all stock. Warn Bellview style power in upright winch that works great. Brand new 32″ Les Schwab mud terrains tires. They still have the nubs on them. Rancho new lift springs and shocks. All lights and blinkers work. This Jeep runs and drives great. Just purchased new battery.”
