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 .
No pics provided. Sure sounds like a good price for a no rust CJ-3B.

“1946 CJ2A Jeep V6 225 Buick, Straight body, Good tires, chrome wheels, bikini top, tow bar, winch, very nice cond. “
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
No engine, but appears solid. This might be a good find for an eastern truck.
“Body in very good shape with very little rust. Motor was taken out before I got it. Last motor in it was a GM v-6.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1700.
This runs. It might be a good price.
“This is a 1947 Willys Jeep. I am not crazy about selling it but my dad needed the parking spot in the shed for a tractor. Instead of letting it sit out in the weather I decided to pass it on to someone who might be able to use and enjoy it. I bought this jeep from a friend who was forced to sell it for exactly the same reason. Believe it or not the jeep was original to his family and I am only the second owner. My friend drove it as his only means of transportation growing up until he parked it in his father’s barn 15 years ago. I bought it as a project and actually got it running great. I replaced more things than I care to list but will be glad to explain it all to any interested parties. I found that parts for this model are relativley inexpensive and easy to find. It still needs work but not as much as you would think. I feel that most of the work is cosmetic but I liked the patina and wouldn’t do it personally.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(08/09/2010) This appears solid.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $100
Steve found this rare flattie toy listed yesterday. The CJ-3B Page shows it is a Structo Steel Jeep intended as a ridable toy for toddlers.
“Found this old pressed steel toy ride on jeep from the 1950,s in a house i was painting.”
UPDATE: These images come from the War Wheels website. There’s a longer discussion no why changes were made to the gun placement.
Here’s what’s likely a 1941 image from warwheels.net of the Bantam BRC-40 T2 with the 37MM Gun on it mounted in the middle of the vehicle:
There were some problems with the T2, so the gun was moved to the back for version 1 of T2E1.
The army preferred this location, because a 2nd version of the T2E1 was developed that lacked a standard body (many more photos here):
Finally, there was also reportedly an anti-tank Willys MB version called the T21 with a75mm mounted in the rear, but I haven’t been able to verify it.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2250.
(09/25/2010) If the rust situation is good, this might be a good price.
