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
(12/08/2010) Someone spent plenty of time and money on this nice CJ-3B.
“You won’t find another one like this one. 98% Restored, Not perfect, But close. Email with questions, I will not respond to scammers, or people who waste my time. If it is online I still have it. I prefer to deal with a local buyer. Trades are not out of the question, depending on what you have. Price is Firm.”

This looks like a parts Jeep (post 1956 CJ-3B). This has a solid back. I’m assuming that is filled in, but the joint marks aren’t too obvious.

UPDATE: Both are still available. The CJ-3B is now listed at Hemmings.
Located down in Miami, Fl, and formerly located at the Trump International Beach and Hotel, the Dezer Museum became a public museum in 2010. It is now housed in a 250,000 square foot complex that showcases a collection of 600 cars, thousands of memorabilia items, a food court, shopping and more.
The collection currently has two jeeps. One is a 1951 M-38 (which can be bought for $20,000) and a CJ-3B (which they have incorrectly listed as a 1951 and is for sale for $25,000)
Here are some pics of the CJ-3B:

(11/02/2010) I’d be interested to see the data plates/serial number plate for this one.
“Rare 1959 Cj3BM Jeep; Made in Japan by Mitsubishi. Needs to be restored. Motor runs but smokes a little. Steering box needs rebuilding. $3000 firm.”
This doesn’t look too bad; if the price is right this might be a good project.
“1956 Willys CJ3B. Original working warn winch, good tires, body is rough and needs to be restored. This jeep was running until about 10 months ago. It has been sitting behind my house since I have not had time to work on it. With a little work it could be running again soon. I need this out of my back yard!
