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 .
This has some unusual features. This is the most ‘military’ CJ-3B I’ve seen.
“1959 high hood military Jeep. Not running. But won’t take alot to get it to run. Drew

UPDATE: WAs $4300. **SOLD**
Apparently this has a Navy Tag.
“For sale a very nice 1953 Jeep Willys CJ3B. This Jeep does have a Navy tag so it was used by the Navy. The drive train is all original and it runs and drives perfect. It does have the 12 volt conversion but the rest is all original. The Frame is also perfect with no rust and the tub is very solid as well. I coated the frame and the tub with POR 15 so it is sealed up. The interior has very nice seats and I just put in a rubber floor covering. The jeep comes with the original military wheels and tires. For an extra $200 you can have the brand new Crager wheels and tires that are in the picture. Also with the sale is an extra windshield. The top is an arctic hard top which is very rare. Everything works on this Jeep so it would make a great off-roader, restoration project, or even a good daily driver.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900.
Lots of work has been completed, but plenty left. No mention of how the seller has identified this as a M-606.
“1966 Jeep CJ3B. This is a very rare military version classified as an M606 with factory 225 V6. Chassis has been completely redone. Everything has been powder coated and rebuilt. Factory rear Dana 44 with newer open knuckle Dana 30 front. Front and rear have 4.27 gears. Rear has a power lock. Front has a Detroit locker. All new bearings and seals. Transmission and transfer case have been completely rebuilt. Brand new Center Force clutch. All new suspension. Brand new power steering box. 225 V6 has been rebuilt. Brand new starter, alternator, headers, and misc. Brake and clutch assembly has been modified to a hanging pedal assembly. Also has a hydraulic clutch, PTO winch, brand new seats, plus boxes of brand new parts. Body has been media blasted. NEEDS TO BE PAINTED AND FINAL ASSEMBLY. Also has brand new tires and many other brand new parts. This is an extremely rare Jeep. It is a military version of a 3B but does not have any of the Willy’s stampings on body because it was built after Willy’s was sold out.”
UPDATE: Still Available
This M-606 includes a Navy ID Plate — very rare based on what I’ve seen. The dashboard arrangement isn’t something I’ve seen. Get it while it lasts.
“US Navy 1958 CJ3B Willys Jeep with Willys Overdrive. Original 4Cyl F Head Engine. Tow bar. CB Radio. Original USN vehicle numbers. Slightly modified with roll bar and bucket front seats. Could easily be returned to original. Battleship grey and military tires. I am a navy vet and owned this jeep for over 20 years. It has been extremely reliable and bullet proof. Extremely rare military vehicle. Most survivors are army or marine issue. If your a vet especially a navy vet, this is your chance to relive a little of the past. Sadly, it is time they we both must depart and move on. I will miss my shipmate and the new owner must promise to take good care of her.”

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.”
