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 $2000.
It runs. It drives. It looks like a deal to me!
“53 Willys CJ3B Runs and drives. This was sitting for a long time in Calif. before I acquired it. Rebuilt carb, fuel tank, and started. It needs lots of work, but should make a fun rig on the farm or for hunting. asking $2000.00 but offers considered.”
The price looks great on this. That said, many people don’t know that these were used during the war of 1959, a little known war pitting the Federalists vs. the Occupationists …
“
This is a very cool Vintage Willy’s Jeep. These were used during the war. Willing to consider a trade for a motorcycle (NO dirt bikes, street legal only please!). Contact me more complete details on the Willy’s. It does need some TLC and general clean-up since it has not been driven much. Carburator and brakes need work, tires and body are in good condition.”

This is a pretty CJ-3B. Remonter A Neuf is translated by google as “A New Wind”. And we all know google is all knowing 🙂
“JEEP WILLYS CJ3 1960 REMONTER A NEUF. POUR COLLECTIONEUR. MOTEUR 450 MILLES.”
I ran across this January 2010 review from Autoblog.com of the Icon CJ-3B yesterday. The author simply gushes over this vehicle, arguing that this vehicle really is worth $50,000 more than the $21,000 wrangler.
Here are some excerpts:
At this point we normally pose a question – something like, “Is the Icon CJ3B worth $50,000 more than a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon?” But here’s the thing, after a few hours of exposure to the CJ3B, it’s unquestionably worth the money. That’s right, we’re just going to start the review with the conclusion, then explain exactly why this little Icon is so darn special. And believe us, the CJ3B is exceptionally special.
Take Icon’s latest model, the all new CJ3B. Based off the 1953 Willys CJ3B (Icon amazingly holds the rights to the name), [head designer] Ward explains that the design ethos of the old Willys Jeeps was longevity, simplicity and utility. Not only does Ward appreciate these qualities, but he finds them “Sorely lacking from the current automotive industry.”
The EcoTec motor emits less pollutants during a full day of driving than a 1953 Willys CJ3B does just sitting and venting gasoline fumes. As Ward explained, Icon is such a low volume producer that they’re exempt from smog laws. They just happen to run O2 sensors and catalytic converters because they want to. Ward plans to eventually offer the CJ3B in not only a diesel version, but full electric as well.
The body is a bit rough.
’54 CJ3B. Rebuilt F-head engine,with very low hours/miles. Mechanically this Jeep has been 90% restored. Besides the rebuilt engine it has: New fuel tank and fuelpump. Rebuilt carb. New radiator and waterpump,new coolant hoses. New brakes all around: shoes,hoses,whl. cylinders,etc. This has been a restoration project for me,I don’t have the time needed to finish.It was converted from six to 12 volt electric at some point. Starts and runs great,all the gauges work. Tires are good. It needs attention to the body next and a new wiring harness. Someone before me put diamond plate steel on driver and passenger floors,patched up body in numerous places. Would probably be best to replace the “tub”. Top is ok,could use some sewing along roof seams.You can use this in the woods as it is or continue with the restoration. Asking $2000.00 Call 802-343-0112 or reply to ad. If it is still on here, it is still for sale.”

The price on this looks great, but the is something odd about this jeep. Obviously, this is neither a ’42 nor a MASH jeep.
“Attention! Tonight’s movie will be MASH! Hi, this is a 1942 Willys Jeep. She runs great! It has the wonderful 4cylinder Willys engine that sounds and drives like just in the movies. Brand new alternator and horn. The tires on the Jeep are all like new. I also have extra Period Correct tires that are also like new, as well as many extra parts. The only thing this jeep needs is a master brake cylinder rebuild kit, Napa $14.95. Just never got around to doing it. This Jeep is just the greatest fun! Coronel Potter, Hawkeye and Radar would love this! Call Dan at (716) 795-3540 please leave a clear message. Thanks!”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $7000
(02/13/2010) It looks very stock and appears to have no rust. Some paint would really help this shine.
“I have a 1954 CJ3B Willys FOR SALE. Previous owner owned for 40 years, 60,000 original miles. NO RUST, PTO winch, no top. $7000 obo. Serious inquiries only. If interested call 541-921-3230. Thanks.”

UPDATE **SOLD** Was $4395.
(05/13/2015) It’s not perfectly restored, but looks good.
“This is an old Air Force Jeep! In great condition, has a very HISTORIC look! 3sp. We think it has a F4 Hurricane engine. This is a 1960 Willis Jeep! Call if you are interested.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was sold at auciton.
This is a CJ-3B with a PTO that will be auctioned May 15th.
“PREVIEW: Friday, May 14th from 1- 5PM | Saturday, May 15th from 8 – 10AM. Auction will be held on Saturday, May 15th at 10AM.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Were $6500/each.
Both Jeeps look beautiful.
“
Resent restoration to mostly original. Either one $6500.”
It might make a good project.
“I am selling my ’63 CJ 3B because I was hoping to have it for a restoration project, but as you all know sometimes life gets in the way. I’ve owned it for 7 years and it has just sat, the engine has run in the past five years or so. It’s all factory. In the pictures the doors are off of it they way they were when I bought it and have been kept in my garage. The frame is solid, and the worst part of the body is the hood. It still retains the original firewall VIN plate and I have a clean, clear Maryland Title. This is a really great starting platform. I wish I could keep it. Looking for $2000. I am in Silver Spring, MD just outside of Washington, DC.”
