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 $5000
This CJ-3B started at $8000 this summer and has just dropped to $5000. It looks like a great price on a very nice, stock looking CJ-3B.
“For sale 1953 Jeep please call for more details.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This looks like a great rebuild.
“This auction is for a 1953 Willys Jeep CJ3B. We were asked by a friend of ours if we could list it for him so here is the information that I got from the owner. The Willys has a new reproduction steel body. 4 CYL “F” head motor, 3 Speed Manual trans, high and low range 4 wheel drive. The vehicle has undergone a complete frame off restoration. The motor has been rebuilt, trans and transfer case gone through, front end, complete brake job, Interior, etc… There is only 310 miles on the vehicle since the restoration. He has a reciept folder totalling just over $9,000 in body and parts alone. This is not counting the labor at all. Everything appears to have been done quite nicely! Jeep runs and drives great as it should. He does not have a top but from what I understand, these are availble at a reasonable price. The only reason he is selling this is that he is starting a restoration on a original millitary Jeep and he is going to use the proceeds from this sale to help fund the project.”
No engine.

UPDATE: SOLD Was $3900.
(02/23/09) This very early CJ-3B looks in very good condition.
“Many new parts, runs good, good upholstry, body and tires. $3900.00 OBO”
Given this isn’t complete, it’s priced a bit high. If it really was a Navy Dept vehicle, it makes me wonder if this was packaged as a M-606?
“Mint condition too many goodies to mention. Please call at 503-535-9717 or email, Dustin”

“This is a ’53 Willys Jeep that has been in my family for many years and was in running condition when parked in the barn about five years ago.It has it’s original Hurricane flat head four cylinder engine that always ran really good and I’m sure it would again with a little TLC.This Jeep has not been off of my family’s farm in over twenty years and is still in pretty solid shape as it has always been kept in the barn.I can’t guarantee it’s mechanical condition but would only imagine it would still run with a little work.Thanks for looking and good luck!”
