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 $7495
Check out the front bumper. That’s one of the more unusual bumpers I’ve seen. I might just have to go check that out tomorrow if I can make the time. I find the angles and integrated approach to the winch appealing. The back is more standard, but looks good too.
Gerald found two more pics Ron May’s Jeep, which show what can happen when you drive off course. You’ve seen this first one.
Here’s a nice CJ-3B.
“I have a fresh High Hood late 1964 that is ground up new build. It has 350 chevy with 4-speed and late model 44 rearends. Nice with lots of new stuff. Built it and it really doesn’t fit me. Don’t really need any trades except 57 or 58 Ranchero. Call for details tomuch to list (360) 508-6976.”

It looks like the grille and fender has been customized a bit.
“This jeep is in great shape. new tires and wheels, also second set of tires and wheels go with it. Still needing some work on restoration. Needs new points to run correctly, but runs great no oil leaks. Drive train in good condition. Body work minimal. Changed over to 12 volt. Has 12 volt winch, turn signals, and set up for tow lights. New top, and gas tank. GOOD SOLID RIG. Asking $5,500.00 which is less than I have in it. MY LOSS YOUR GAIN. Call (971) 240-3740 to see. Thanks.”

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was priced at $1800.
(11/19/2010) This might be worth a look. It doesn’t run at the moment.
“the Jeep is in the la area near the 10 and the 605 ok now about the jeep but it is a clean CJ3B Jeep, the year is a 1953 which is the first year , it has no rust and yellowish paint, it runs but isn’t road worthy yet, it needs some minor brake work, but over all not in bad shape, I am posting this for a friend so call him for more information what you just read is all I know about it but the owner of the Jeep is a “Jeep nut” so don’t be afraid to call and ask him questions.
UPDATE: Now on Craigslist
(05/26/2010) Imagine my surprise when I looked at the last of the many images of this Jeep and learned this was a fiberglass tub! You don’t see many CJ-3B Fiberglass Tubs.

Here are a few pics.
This runs and drives.

It appears solid.

It needs some axles and wheels at the very least.
“CJ3B body on a CJ5 frame has title with a 4V 289/C4 auto that both run and shift fine. I drove it to where I tore it apart, what you see is what you get. Nice 6 point roll cage. The engine/trans seats shifter and tail lights are all out of a 68 mustang. The trans has an advanced adapters bronco dana 20 adapter with 28 spline out put shaft jeep HAS NO TRANSFER CASE does have a belly skid on it.

Has an unusual body. My first thought was unibody, maybe fiberglass(?), as I can’t see seams between the front clip and the body. In fact, the hood appears to be a normal sized low hood that sits a top a solid CJ-3B clip (fenders/body/grille all molded/welded together).
“1948 Jeep Willys, 289l V-8, auto trans, B&M shifter, low miles, new interior and upholstery, soft top included, all terrain tires, aux. fuel tank rack, alloy wheels, tow bar, clean paint, runs excellent.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
