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: Still Available.
(09/25/2011) I am guessing this doesn’t run.

There may be some value here. It even runs!

(11/13/2010) The body has some dents on the driver’s side. It appears this has gone through some updates, such as a tilt wheel, roll cage, and updates to the suspension (the front appears to have a metal strip that probably helps strengthen it is some way).
“Good working condition,Buick V6 225 engine, Warren over drive, Original 3 speed transmission. Great for hunting and 4 wheeling.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,000.
“Howdy Folks, Up for sale is my 1953 Willys CJ3B. It has original sheet metal and no rust. I restored it about 8 years ago. Everything was either rebuilt or replaced then. It has traveled about 2,500 miles since then. My wife and I trailered it behind our RV on our honeymoon. So this jeep has seen SanFrancisco, Meer Woods, The Bad Lands, Mt. Rushmore, Yellowstone, Napa Valley, and Senoma and much more. So its been around. It has a few chips and bumps, however still shows very well and gets allot of attention. It even won best jeep at the very popular ST. Marys annual car show. Beautiful trophy.
It is powered by an F head four cylinder and an manual 3 speed. It is a 4X4 with high and low range. It has been updated with an Motorola alternator, converted to 12 volts, and a solex carb. It has military ND tires that actually drive very well and wear very well. It runs just great and is fun to drive. It is painted Caterpillar yellow and battle ship grey. I would be willing to repaint it any solid color with a single stage urathane enamel for an additional $1,200. This would include everything but the frame and engine compartment. I also have US government olive drab. You may call me at five three seven one nine eight seven or email me.
I am asking $11,000. It is located in Holland NY near East Aurora. Email me for an appointment for viewing. And if weather permits a drive. I am not interested in trades, or consignments. In the photo you may see the exhaust strap broken, It has been replaced.”
UPDATE: This is back on eBay

(09/21/2009) This looks like a great price on a very nice CJ-3B.
“1955 willys jeep, 21.000 miles, almost rust free, never seen snow, from Georga, very clean and very stock, is still 6 volt, very good mechanics, good tires, perfect for the trails, hunting or fishing trips. $4800.00 offers cash only no trades, and in person, thanks 708-675-0990 cell or billb@asmos.net e-mail”

The seller incorrectly labels the 1953 as a CJ-3B rather than a CJ-3A.
“i have two willys jeeps, both 4 cylinders
the 55 cj3-b has the better hurricane motor, has matching title and runs and drives but needs the brakes refreshed. it was used 4 years ago as a small plow jeep for a driveway. all the plow stuff is removed. has full enclosed cab with doors, body is okay but all there, some floor rott under the seat on driver side like all of them. its not the prettyest thing but its all there and like i said, runs and drives really good. motor is super smooth and does not leak a drop of oil. already 12 volt converted.
the 2 top pics, i have more pics available
the 53 willys has a really good body but some floor rott under the seat on driver side like all of them, good seat frames and a really solid windshield frame (which is rare) the glass is cracked but they always do that due to the flex in the WS frame. has original tags on the dash, new tires, “aftermarket” front and rear bumpers, otherwise mostly original
no title so its a “parts only” sale on this one. motor does not leak, i have not tried to get it running yet, motor turns over just like it should tho. would be awesome resto or rat rod project
ready to sell either one for $2000 or best or $3000 for both. can deliver if not to far from kenosha.
text or call 262-945-8187 anytime
would trade for 50’s chevy ford or gmc truck only,
absolutely NO CARS AT ALL. 50’s trucks only. no 60’s maybe 40’s.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5200.
This appears solid.
“What you are looking at is a rare 1954 willys cj3b jeep. It comes with a powerful PTO winch. The engine is the original engine and runs perfectly with no smoke and great oil pressure. The transmission is also perfect. The jeep has been restored. It could use 2 new rear tires. 4 wheel drive works perfectly. The jeep has no title, but I do have a bill of sales and can write another when you buy it.
New windshield
New carburetor
New paint
New spray in bed liner
New spark plug wires
New rear universal joint.”
UPDATE: Back on eBay. The new pic shows this has bow holders…. very unusual …. After pondering the dash, which looks fine, I think if I were to do the dash like this, I would tack on tabs to the back of the dash and then drop in the gauge plate so that is sat flush with the dash.
(04/27/2011) This appears to have been extensively rebuilt.
