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 .

There’s a new movie being made about American Bantam and the Original Jeep. Principal photography is supposed to begin in May of 2015. Learn more here: http://www.4wheelhero.com/schedule/. The movie has a Facebook Page as well.
These teens reported about a ride on a CJ-3B. Among other things they likened it to “doing the Mambo on a hot stove”. This article was published in the May 1955 issue of Willys News.
This is a rare Corn Picker brochure that was on eBay. Given the reference to the ‘Jeep’ Tractor, this would have been published around 1951 or 1952 (no mention of the CJ-3B).
UPDATE: *SOLD* Was $7000.
Looks good.
“525 miles on complete restoration approx. 15 years ago. Always garaged. Stock original 4 cylinder (completely overhauled during restoration) Ordinal 3 spd. transmission. After market gauges, reproduction top. Serious inquries only. I am open to offers.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“Most parts interchange with Willys CJ-3B, the Mahindra CJ-540P 4WD is an updated, long wheel-base version of the 1950’s Willy’s CJ-3B design that was built under license by Mahindra in India from the 1950’s until 2011. Although it is a few inches longer than an original CJ-3B, it is still a 2-door, flat-fender model (only has a little more legroom than the original front and back seat layouts). This Jeep is a 1990 model, free title, licensed in Louisiana, unrestored, no rust, NEEDS A TUNE-UP but it runs-stops-drives, 4cl willys hurricane engine, 2 speed transfer case. Need to see – Mahindra did update some of the CJ-3B stuff such as it now has a hydraulic clutch, 3-point seat belts (front only), turn signals, and other MINOR updates/improvements over the 1950’s vintage Willys design. Otherwise, it’s like they were built back in the 50’s! See pics – this vehicle is in very good un-restored condition.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
Looks good.
“Here is a 1979 Mitsubishi J54 Diesel, Mitsubishi continued to manufacture the J54 ( CJ-3B ) after Jeep had discontinued production. The J54 has the 4DR5 (4 cyl. diesel motor) lots of torque and great gas mileage, and still looking really cool. 4×4 as every jeep should be combined with the diesel will let you go anywhere. It has a Dana 44 rear and Dana 30 front with 4.77 gears packed inside.
The Jeep comes with Delaware state title, Japanese export title, and Japanese regular title. This vehicle if federally legal due to the 25 year rule which makes these gems importable.
The Jeep comes with the original style wheels and tires, does not include the 31’s in the pictures. Customs will not allow for anything to be in the vehicle during shipping.
27k km original kilometers on the odometer, (that’s only 16777 miles)
Right hand drive, (not because it was a mail jeep but because it is a Japanese vehicle)
4 speed manual
Twin stick transfer case
Original style wheels and tires (can fit 31’s without lift, if you want to take away from the originality)
Good top with no leaks.
NO RUST NO RUST NO RUST”
