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 .
This is a no reserve auction with a starting price of $600. It appears there is $600 worth of value here.
“Has new leaf springs and shocks. Leafs were put over axles to lift jeep. Reinforcement will be needed for steering from leaf over axle change. Changed from manual fuel pump to electric fuel pump. Engine runs but needs fuel pump modification for correct fuel intake. I did drive jeep before parking 3 years ago. I just don’t have the time to keep the project going.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500
Not sure there is much value here.
“1951 Willys Jeep for parts”
UPDATE: Was $6900. **SOLD**
“4 Wheel drive, new electrical wiring, 36inch tires, new drive line, 4 speed, 350 chev motor. New paint and new interior. Is a very powerful running jeep.”
This is pretty rough, but is a no reserve auction.
“1962 Willy Jeep for restoration. I believe it is a CJ3B flat finder, high hood. It has a clear title and ran before it was put in storage. The transmision and four wheel drive were all working how ever the motor is now stuck. Body has rust and a few holes but the mount and frame are good. The floor board has only a few small holes but the bottom of the bed is gone. The top is good and it has doors as well. Most of the glass is bad or gone. I put lub in the cyclinders and I’m sure you can get the motor to run.There is no reserve and must be paid for at end of sale and pick up with in 30 days Thanks.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500
(04/29/2010) This is CJ-3B on top and ’71 CJ-5 on the bottom. The front shackles have been reversed. Much more done as well (the seller provides a very long description in the Ad).
“What I have is a CJ3B siting on a 1971 CJ5 Frame, so it has been titled as a 71 CJ3B. It has a strong running Buick 225 V6 Oddfire, T18 4spd transmission with granny 1st. and new clutch, Fresh rebuilt Dana 20 transfer case, newer drivelines and U-Joints, open knuckle Dana 30 front with disk breaks (no locker), Dana 44 rear with welded spiders, Front shackle conversion, Rancho lift springs (sprung under axle), Powder Coated black custom front and rear bumpers, Hi-Lift mount on rear with storage rack, SW guages (fuel, amps, oil, water temp, tachometer all work fine) Speedometer gear just went out so it needs replacing on the transfer case otherwise it works fine, has brand new cable. Lights and signals works perfect, even hazards. Brakes are great, 4×4 works flawlessly. Solid body and frame. Frame has been braced in the weak spots. Good 32×9.50 TSL’s on black steel wheels with allot of offset to keep the tires out further, it will fit 35’s with a shackle lift…..”
UPDATE: a reader reports this is sold. Was for sale for $8k.
I’m gonna guess that this is a rare 1968 CJ-3B titled as a 1969, as I believe ’68 was the last production year.
“1969 willys Jeep. Professionally built 302 engine mileage in picture is actuall miles on the engine. 3 speed manual transmission. High and low range 4-wheel drive w/lock in hubs. Has been rebuilt as a project looking to sell so I can buy another one and rebuild it. You can email me for more pictures.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a good looking CJ-3B. The seller provides a nicely detailed description. The drain holes have been filled in.
“Here is a very nice 1953 Willys CJ-3B that is roadworthy. I run errands in it frequently. I have the title in my name so no drama there. The Jeep is still mostly original with the Hurricane engine and T-90 transmission, both of which work great. The engine starts right up hot or cold, no smoke and is very smooth. I’ve had the Jeep for two years, and from what I’ve been told by the previous owner, the Jeep was totally refurbished 12 years ago. I have no reason to doubt that. The paint still has some shine but there are some surface rust spots. There is also rust on the drivers side support for the fender. Also some rust on a cross member under the tub near the rear wheel wells. Since I’m in the disclosing mode, the only gauges that are hooked up are the temperature gauge and the oil pressure gauge. The odometer works but the speedometer has a broken needle. The ampere meter and the gas gauge are not hooked up and will be good things for a “to do” list. The seats are not original and in pretty bad shape under the seat covers, but they look okay. The emergency brake cable needs to be replaced….”
There might be some value here. That’s an unusual hood on the GPW (likely fiberglass).

UPDATE: SOLD ! An ewillys reader purchased this one.
Given the passenger side indents, I’d say this is a pretty new body.

UPDATE: Still Available

This might be pretty nice. The towel between the hood and windshield suggests the owner has been at least somewhat careful with it.
