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 .

“1957 Willys. 4X4 with original 4cyl. RUNS. Needs some TLC. 3spd std with Hi and Lo range. Serious buyers only.”
“1958 Willys CJ3B. Runs. 32″ Coopers. Superlift suspension, lock out hubs. Needs a little TLC Email: cpc69@aol.com Phone: 860-455-1013”
Because the frame is about 8″ higher than stock and due to the frame changes, I had to reroute the brake lines underneath the frame rather than through the middle of the frame. Another advantage of this system is that I can use standard CJ-5 flexible brake lines, which reduces my costs. I considered a variety of bracket ideas, but finally developed the following:
These two brackets were cut from flat steel, drilled and then bent.
Next, I put it against the frame to figure out the exact position.
Next, I welded them to each side of the frame. You can’t see it from the pic, but I drilled a hole near the bottom of the bracket so I could fill in the hole and weld the bracket to the frame. I also welded the top of the bracket to the frame.
And here’s the passenger side with paint and everything tightened.
It looks pretty stock. I can’t tell if it runs or not.
“runs well, drives ~90% original, fixer-upper. since I took these pictures I have painted the hood and wheel wells to prevent rust, it is the same color as seen in the pictures.
$3300 OBO.”
Here’s a package deal for $1500. Might be a pretty good deal at that. Both appear pretty complete.
“2 Jeeps for 2500 one is a 1949 the other is a 1950 Package deal, Call for more details”
It’s pretty rough for the asking price.
“All original CJ3 runs and drives excellent no problems.”
It looks like it’s got some good upgrades. It’s likely priced a bit high.

“54 willys cj3b that is a great running jeep, drives great.”
This is nicely ‘restored’, but there is some customization. The body is an aftermarket body and the builder added a few modern updates to the dash, including the radio. It appears to have a nice PTO setup.
