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: The price has been dropped. It looks like a great price.

I’m thinking this needs more than clutch work.

(09/23/2011) This sounds like a good build.
“Custom built jeep with Myers snow plow. Only 3438 miles since being built. This jeep has a 1961 CJ5 frame with a 1957 CJ3b body. The engine is custom built from an AMC Matador and is around 300 Horsepower. Headers and dual exhausts with Glass pack mufflers (Sounds GREAT!) The drive train is out of a 1976 jeep CJ 5.

Buz found this CJ-3B. It is supposed to have only 4288 miles.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This looks in good shape, though the floor carpet makes it hard to evaluate the floor.
“1953 Jeep Willys CJ3B. Great running reliable Jeep willys originally purchased by US Navy for base use as depicted on plaque installed on dash. Not a show quality vehicle but not a rust bucket and no areas needing to be addressed. Original color was orange for naval base use to identify allied vehicles. Used on weekends with my kids for parades, jeep events, and beach trips. It has a great running 4 cylinder with manual transmission .Starts right up every time,no leaks, Has tow bar, 4 Wheel drive works as it should with no mechanical issues whatsoever. Tires installed within last year. Has spare tire not mounted. Hard top can be removed and comes with alternate windshield and glass. Seat covers are like new. Interior has been completely covered in soundproofing to reduce exterior noise. All lights, blinkers, turn signals, radio, work perfectly.
Absolutely nothing wrong with this vehicle just not being used enough to justify keeping. Classic insurance is only 85.00 per year and qualifies for classic QQ tags and registration.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800.
(12/04/2011) It runs … but the body doesn’t appear saveable (to me).
“It RUNS, but it is rusty! There is a plow and a top for it, I will sell those separately or 2,800 for all. Great winter project!!! If you have any questions call Martin at (260)316-2114”
I spotted this 3B the other day. Parked when running perhaps?
