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 $750.
“I have a 52 wills cj-3b high hood. I had the jeep running about a year ago when i got it since then the starter stoped working so at this time does not run. The frame axles and engine are all in good cond its a good solid base to start a resto on. The body as you would expect is in rough shape but the frame looks good. all the running gear is there and it would make a great project.”
The seller says this is a 1946 CJ-3, but clearly it’s a CJ-3B. It’s probably worth a look.
“its a 46 willys jeep cj3 sitting on a 68 cj5 frame and axles. its got the buick dauntless v6 with a th400 auto tranmission not for sure on what transfer case is on it. the body is in really GOOD shape for being a 46 it the body was restored 5 or 6 years ago has some dings and dent very little rust and 2 rust holes in the rocker panels has a brand new wireing harness.has full roll cage just needs to be welded in. just needs to be finished asking $1500 or best offer also take trade for 4wheeler or four wheel drive.. you can email me at griffinkyle@yahoo.com and can get more pictures or info”
UPDATE: This one is back. Note the reference to the mileage has been left off, though there is a pic of the speedometer. As Ed and Mitch both excellently point out, the speedometer does not appear to be original, so it’s likely that the mileage is under reported.
The owner has set the starting bid at $8,000. This jeep comes with a pretty good story posted on the CJ-3B page. The speedometer on this CJ-3B shows mileage of 7,150 miles.
“This auction is for a 1962 Kaiser Willys Jeep CJ-3B Jeep and trailer. I spent three years getting this jeep; the story is on the link below. The thrill of the chase was intense, but I’m selling it to conentrate on my business and my family. It is a one-of-a-kind vehicle; probably one of the nicest old Willys flat fenders in the country. It turns heads and makes thumbs go up!”
It looks very nice and has some good updates.
“3b very nice unit complete body off reuild, complete professional moto rebuild, partial list of new items, replacement tub and body work, 11″ brake conversion, tires wheels, warn O.D., wireing., has saginaw steering. this is a very clean unit driven very little since rebiuld, have more photos if needed. thanks $ 5200.”
Lots of good prices on the east coast today. Here’s another one: A running CJ-3B for $1200 (at least, from the description it sounds like it runs).
“1956 Willys Jeep CJ3B. 4cyl 134 cuinch F head motor is good, driveline is solid. Tub is in bad shape where seats (used to be) mounted. Frame is good, and hood, cowl, winshield and frame, front fenders are good. Has original factory heater and full lighting package. Original 6v system. Rear tailgate and rear deck are good. really just needs the tub taken off and re-done.
Has been sitting in a barn waiting for a restore for many years. Call Pat 781-706-7211. No tire kickers please. This is a 50+ year old vehicle that needs work. Thanks for looking.”
The body’s rough, but the price good.

It appears this CJ-3B has not tailgate. I’m not sure if that’s a customization or not. I have not heard of CJ-3Bs that have no tailgates. The body looks pretty rough.
“1958 Willys jeep CJ3B. Needs a new Body. It has lock out hubs, Superlift suspension and 32″ Coopers. It runs with an auxillary fuel tank and needs a carb rebuild. Engine is nice and quiet, transmission shifts good, 4×4 works. I was using it in the woods untill a front brakeline broke. Good candidate for restoration, or a woods beater with a little TLC beforehand. Email – cpc69@aol.com. Phone – 860-455-1013”
ummm … all original? This must have been purchased with the woody option?
“THIS JEEP IS A 1960 WILLYS ALL ORIGINAL cj3b model with a F134 4cyl. engine 3spd. manual trans. 4×4 all original hardware starter has been rebuilt body will need to be replaced if you want or can be fixed. History of this vehicle is that i bought it off a army vet. i was going to rebuild it but i did not have the time. but i would like to sell it to a person that will want to restore it to its original condition.”
Here’s a good history of the MB-CJ3B Willys-Viasa with a variety of pics.
“In the late 50’s, Willys Overland gave the rights to the V.I.A.S.A. firm to allow them exclusively to build the Univesal Jeep in our country. In 1959, the first permit to import parts and machinery is given by the Trade Ministry, in order to assemble the first units in the V.I.A.S.A’s factory located in Zaragoza. These units weren’t launched until 1960.
It seems that that permit let V.I.A.S.A build the CJ3B model, with different engines and features from the original American model …”
UPDATE: These are still available.
These are both running jeeps, with the CJ-2A’s motor recently having been rebuilt. If I only had a two jeep trailer … hmmm.
