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 $1700.
I suspect underneath that diamond plating (I think it is diamond plating) is some wear & tear or rust. Otherwise, it’s a running CJ-3B that looks pretty good for only $1700.

“I purchased this Jeep out of a collection years ago. The first few summers I drove it back and forth to work. Top off, and windsheild frame down !!! The Jeep was restored in 1997. 11 years now. It was a Nebraska Jeep.. The motor and driveline was rebuilt. Axles and brakes gone thru. New brake lines. New exhaust. The list goes on and on. seats were recovered, new top, Wheels powdercoated, New gauges and switchs.The jeep has a nice new style fuse box with new wiring from front to rear. One receipt I have from the restoration totals $3,800.00 alone ….”
There’s a small chance this is a CJ-3B rather than a CJ-5. No pics shown.

UPDATE: This jeep has been listed on eBay. In the last auction, the price reached $3650, but that was below the reserve. This time it appears there is no reserve.

“4 Cylinder-3 Speed. Body off restoration several years ago. Steel body. Very good condition. Current inspection sticker. Steering box needs rebuild. $6500 B.O. Contact Skip 617-590-3691”
Someone’s got the wrong year on this CJ-3B. Maybe it is really 1964? It’s either got a fiberglass body or some work has been done on the steps.
