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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $50.
Cool Toys!
“These are really great. Late 50’s or very early ’60’s — 3 pieces: 11″ Willys Jeep, 10.5″ Searchlight trailer (complete but insides were rotted so I rewired it and the light works now) & 18″ Troop transport truck”
UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $600.
Here’s a project.
“Needs restored. All original. 4 cylinder. 6 volt system. Currently not running but motor turns over.”
The seller claims to have put $7000 into this jeep. I can’t tell that much has been spent.
“GOT $7000 IN TO IT BUT ITS VALUE IS AROUND $10,000 THE JEEP IS UPGRADED AND I WOULD RATHER HAVE CASH BUT I WILL SWAP FOR A 96 OR NEWER JEEP WRANGLER, FLATS BOAT OR?”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500

“Up for sale is an Awesome Jeep CJ3B. Only 37k miles. Just changed diff gear oil. I really do not want to sell, but i have 2 other Jeeps and not enough storage space. I started to restore her about 1 year ago, but I’m in the process of moving, and i just don’t have the room anymore. The motor has been removed for better access. She ran like a champ when i last drove her! I have all parts labeled, and neatly set asidethat were removed (minor). Motor, tranny, and transfer case are all together. Minimal rust on floor panel, has all gauges (fuel gauge is probably going to need replacement), 31″ tires, roll cage, and much much more! Have title in hand for new owner. The pictures were taken a week or so ago. Great project vehicle, or just put the motor back in and have some good ol fun! There are plenty of extra parts if needed. This jeep is an antique and a collectors item, and one of the first Civilian Jeeps ever made. I could go on and on about this Jeep, but don’t have time right now. E-Mail me with any questions and make me an offer. Please don’t waste my time, serious buyers & Jeep fans only! I will take some more detailed pics as soon as i get a chance to. If i have time i will put the motor back in. This is a great Jeep. Best offer within 2 weeks takes it!!! Good Luck.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5,995

(09/28/09) This looks a bit rough and I don’t think it’s just the paint job.

UPDATE: Still Available

“Up for grabs is this 1959 Jeep CJ3B. I bought it last year with plans to restore it but realised i don’t have the knowledge, time or $$! I took it apart with plans of sand blasting and repainting, but prior to that it ran pretty good. Clean title, renewed plates. Email for more info. Make me an offer, this jeep is a rare find!”

Dan just picked up this SM420 pretty cheaply, but it has a remote shifter rather than a tower shifter. Anyone have a SM420 Tower they don’t need? If so, leave a comment below and I’ll make sure Dan get’s your message.
Dan notes this tranny came from a M-561 6×6 (note inscription on serial number). Here’s a link to Olive Drab which describes them.
