About eWillys
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.
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 .
(04/16/2013) The mileage is supposed to be 3,901 miles. It doesn’t looks like it’s been used much OR it’s been rebuilt.
“Pretty much original. 3,901 miles! Garaged! Towing bar, spare tire with camo cover. Ammo box tool box. 4 extra studded snow tires and chains. Bench back seat, removable with storage compartment. front window goes up or down with swing out windows. It has a manual throttle control as well as a manual choke of course. 12 volt battery. Very nice bucket seats with rain covers. Roll bar. . Will sell for cash $4,400 OBO or I am willing to trade for a good quality, low miles, ATV/4 wheeler with a winch. Gun tote is a plus.”
“FOR SALE Willys ’53 CJ3B, Serial # 453 GB 22140, 10,572 miles.
The Willys is a real head turner that looks and runs great.

(06/11/2012) This was available at a yard sale this past weekend. Call to find out if it is still available.
“I bought this Willys Jeep as a 1952 but think it is a 1953. It is a CJ3B with the best engine I ever heard on an old jeep. It is a flat fender jeep and buyers need to look at this jeep. Come and see at my yard sale on July 4,5,6,&7 at 2130 U S Rte 5 N in Windsor, Vermont if it is still here. 8026745057 wes”
“This jeep has no title but is restorable and the data tags are all there so a bonded title would be cheap and easy. The body needs floors but is doable. It comes with a rollbar and a hard to find koenig hardtop and stock heater. Feel free to email with any questions or pics.”

Between Antique Fire Engines, 16,000 toys, and a French Laundry, our trip from Mackinaw City to Fenton, MI, proved to be fascinating and fun. We have plenty of pics to share, but those will have to wait for at least a day.
I’m sure there’s a story behind it, but I fear we’ll never know why a sailor was driving a CJ-3A and pulling a stage through a neighborhood.
“Original vintage snapshot photo, circa 1940s or 1950s. Sailor at the wheel of a Jeep, pulling a trailer that looks to be a stage – “When The Rains Came.” We do not have any details about the location of this photo. Some minor age toning, otherwise a nice image- as seen in scans. Measures about 2-3/8″ x 3.5″
