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 .
The body looks pretty dirty for a never installed body.
“very nice never installed body, tailgate , windshield,fenders, hood, used grill and radiator . $3200.00 phone # 812-610-0003”
For $200, there must be something valuable here.
“I have a 1963 Willys jeep that ive been holding on to for long enough. never really found the time to fix it up. has a motor in it that was rebuilt 6 years ago but has sat since. I’m only asking $200. please call me at 586-945-1186 for more info. ask for craig”
UPDATE: Pictures have been provided. It looks like the body is a replacement body. The outside looks great.
This is a bit much for a non-runner.
“This ol’ Jeep is a rare one. I bought it from a collector in Salem Oregon. It was recently brought to Portland. The rear pto is a great conversation peice and was opporational when the motor was in the Jeep. This Jeep has a clear title and would make a great next project. The 283 Chev motor is removed and in need of a rebuild and the seat frames and cushions need to be replaced. I’ve listed details that are included below…..”
UPDATE: Dan reports that he purchased this CJ-3B (was selling for $1100). Two weeks later it is running. Sounds like he got a good deal.
“I WANT TO BE VERY SPECIFIC ON THIS JEEP, ITS NOT ONE YOU CAN JUMP IN AND DRIVE AWAY IN, I BOUGHT IT WITH THE INTENTION OF RESTORING IT, THIS JEEP HAD THE ENGINE REBUILT 3/20/05 FOR A PRICE OF $982, AND HAS NOT BEEN RUN SINCE THEN, IT NEEDS A DISTRIBUTOR TO GET GOING, I HAVE THE RECIEPT FOR THIS REBUILD, IT WAS DONE IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND THE JEEP WAS TOWED HERE AFTER THAT WHEN THE OWNER MOVED TO KNOXVILLE …”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.
The seller is calling this a ‘Army CJ-3B’. The 1945 GPW in the picture to the left of the CJ-3B is also for sale.
“I have an original 1964 US Army CJ-3B for sale. The body is in almost completely rust-free condition with the exception of the rear quarter panels (as pictured), which are also somewhat bent. The front passenger fender and step are bent a little bit. The floor boards only have surface rust. The front bumper is off of an auxiliary power unit jeep and was put on by another person. The engine is more than likely toast because the valve cover was removed by someone and never put back on. I have another F-head engine that I will include which is in a little better shape, but the oil has turned to sludge and it will probably need to be completely rebuilt.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3600

Brian pointed this one out to me. There’s a pic of the hudson steering as well.
“I’m posting my flatty for sale. Its a Jeep CJ3B. The condition its in is ‘rough’ but workable. It drives great; just needs a little tlc. Here’s the meat: She’s been converted to a straight 6 232 engine, which made for some interesting modifications. Wild Bill was apparently the guy that did it, if that means anything to you. Its got a t-90 with factory overdrive and factory PTO with the winch. The winch has a broken foot, but the mechanism works fine. This jeep has a hudson steering conversion….”
UPDATE: Was $5600. **SOLD**
“I’m moving in a couple of months and am looking to sell my 1959 Willy’s Jeep, model CJ3B. Rust free, with a four inch lift, new Ground Hawg 6 ply tires (14/35/15). The engine is a 231 Buick V6 with Heddman Headers. The Jeep comes with a vinyl top and original seat frames that have been re-upholstered, the tool box is also in excellent shape.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
This look solid and pretty stock.
“Unrestored, original 26K miles, 1955 Willy’s CJ3B Jeep. The original owner was a doctor who bought the jeep as a hunting rig in 1955. The second owner purchased it for the same purpose, hunting. He had his mechanic look it over prior to each season. 3-4 years ago he stopped hunting and parked it. As a precaution, I oiled the cylinders and it turned freely. I bought it intending to restore it, but find I do not have the time. I was told it needed brakes. It has 16″ military tires on it which are in good condition. Tow bar is included. I am asking 3,000.00 O.B.O. No e-mails.”
The images are a bit tiny to tell much. I’m not a big fan of the paint job, but other than that this might not be a bad price.
“1953 CJ3B Navy Jeep. Still has Navy ID and information tag on the dash. Jeep is in fantastic mechanical condition. It is currently titled & licensed and I drive it daily. Does not use oil or smoke. Motor and drive train work flawlessly except for 2nd gear. Like 75% of old jeeps, it pops out of 2nd gear when decellerating. Odometer only shows 2870 miles and it works, but I can not verify that those are the correct miles. Brakes stop it straight and fast. All turn signals and lights work. Has been converted to 12volts. Has 4 new military type non directional tires on 16″ stock rims. The spare is a newer 16″ rough tread on a split rim wheel. All guages work. Has lock out hubs & a tow bar. Call 740-448-2600 if you have any questions. Thank you.”
