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 .

(02/19/2020) This may be a former Navy 3B, though the plate has been moved to the inside of engine compartment. The jeep has a variety of updates.

“1954 Jeep CJ3B. Has rebuilt F-head 4cyl. engine,(Jeep used this engine from 53′-65′), T90 3 spd. trans. Has been a restoration project that I never seem to find the time to finish,(summers are too short in Vt.!)Have replaced brake lines,shoes,wheel cylinders,also have replaced fuel tank,fuel pump,radiator,and waterpump. Rebuilt the carb,but,probably needs to be gone through again. Haven’t had running in over a year. Electrical system was converted from 6volt to 12 volt before I got it. Top is in bad shape but,new ones are still available.
Frame and body look to be original.Body is rusty, but, I’ve seen worse,many replacement body panels are available from various vendors. Needs body work to make roadworthy,but you could use it as it is in the woods. Don’t have to worry about denting a fender or scraping branches or brush like you would on a new Roxxor that you paid $18k for. Look at the patina on this ol-girl! These old Jeeps are geared so low that they are best suited for back country roads,off roading or as a utility vehicle. Simple to work on compared to newer Jeeps or SXS. No title as Vt. doesn’t title vehicles over 15 yrs. old.”
UPDATE: SOLD at auction for $15,300 + $1,912.50 buyer’s premium.
Joel alerted me to this auction at GovDeals.com.The auction ends 04/08/2020. The jeep is located in Northeast Ohio. It’s listed in two spots as a 1962 and one spot as a 1963.
“1963 Willy’s Jeep CJ3-B Brush Truck. This truck is a one owner and has served as a grass fighter ever since new. Jeep starts and runs perfectly. Emergency lights and siren will stay. The radio will be county removed. 50 gallon water tank. (2) 3/4″ booster lines. Winch works. 4×4 works. Tires in great shape. Mileage is believed to be accurate. Vehicle serviced regularly.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $14,900.
Looks in good condition.
“Fun, 62 Jeep Willy. 289 engine, manual trans with overdrive.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
This appears to be a CJ-3b with the rear of a GPW attached.
“Vintage 48-53 Willys Jeep CJ. Barn find. Original drivetrain (F134 Hurricane engine, T90 transmission, Dana 18 transfer case, Dana 25 front, Dana 44 rearend). Custom pusher, rollcage. Converted to 12 volt system. Brought it home as a project but wife is not cool with her car left out in the rain while the jeep is in the garage. I have not tried to start it yet as I only have weekends to tinker with it. The only thing I’ve had time to do is clean out the debris and do some research on Willys. Great rare find with lots of potential for the right person. $1500. Not interested in any trades at this time.”
Engine has been removed. Body has been repaired in the rear.

UPDATE: Seller indicates it includes a Gov plate, so it was likely a Gov/military purchased CJ-3B.
This has a ventilating windshield. It does appear to have a place on the dash with four holes where a gov data plate could have been.

“This is a 1964 Military Jeep for sale that is like a M606.
The army and the navy were the only ones to use these jeeps, and they were intended for more mundane duties around bases and such.
It does have the original military wheels and most of the original hard top (the side and rear doors are missing).
The engine is stuck, and the radiator is long gone (scrappers stole it along with the doors years ago).
I have the original body tags along with the reproduction brass military tag.
No title, but will provide a bill of sale.
Accepting any reasonable offer. I would like to see it go to someone who knows what it is versus it becoming a start for a crawler or mud buggy.”
