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 .
There might be some value here. The body appears solid.

(11/19/2010) This might be worth a look. It doesn’t run at the moment.
“the Jeep is in the la area near the 10 and the 605 ok now about the jeep but it is a clean CJ3B Jeep, the year is a 1953 which is the first year , it has no rust and yellowish paint, it runs but isn’t road worthy yet, it needs some minor brake work, but over all not in bad shape, I am posting this for a friend so call him for more information what you just read is all I know about it but the owner of the Jeep is a “Jeep nut” so don’t be afraid to call and ask him questions.
Strangely, the seller neglects to mention the gaping divide between the body and the front clip. That aside, there’s plenty of value in the rims, tires and body parts.
“this is not a running jeep….it has a clean fram, nice tires and nice chrome rime. body is ok but floor pans need redone. has mounts in already for g motor. axles are clean as well. front is already converted to disc brakes. windshield is not cracked. NO MOTOR OR TRANNY OR TRASFER CASE. 813-965-3349”

(11/24/2011) There are a couple other Willys in the background of the photos.
“Offered is a very rare Willys FC150 Foward Control Pickup. Needs restoration. Very staight and solid. Rear glass is missing. Motor apart. This will make a great project to restore or street rod.”
(05/26/2010) Imagine my surprise when I looked at the last of the many images of this Jeep and learned this was a fiberglass tub! You don’t see many CJ-3B Fiberglass Tubs.
(09/26/2010) The price needs adjustment, but it looks like it may be a solid project.
“OBO. Vehicle has been garaged for almost 20 years. It is now in our driveway because it came to us through inheritance and we do not have the money to restore it. Email for details on engine, etc.”
During Mark’s last update, he got a steal on some Mitsubishi seats that fit perfectly into “Her Royal Highness”. He’s made some additional progress since then.
Mark writes, “You may recall phase I consisted of making her safe, legal and roll down the road without leaking out all the fluids. Phase II for me was to make it reliable and comfortable. Phase III is body & appearance and that one may take awhile. I’m rather fond of the aged patina look (alright I’m lazy).
After sitting in a barn for 18 years I’ve been leary of opening up the 265 on the highway because I was afraid the gaskets would fail so I replaced both diff. gaskets, the t-18 cover gasket and the oil pan gasket on the SBC. Once I got in there I was amazed at the pristine condition of the gears, they looked new. I installed a sound system and finished off with some sweet tan leather seats. Replacing the orginal split bench with modern buckets changes the whole driving experience for the better.
One neat idea was to mount the seats with 1lb. rubber mallets cut and drilled to compensate for the uneven floor board. I’ve included some pictures.”
