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.
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 $2000.
(04/22/2016) Seller describes six pics, but only posted two.
“STARTING FROM LEFT PIC. PIC #1 JEEP FRAME WITH MOTOR MAKE OFFER – PIC #2,3&4 WILLY JEEP $2000.00 – PIC #5&6 WILLY MOTOR MAKE OFFER – HAVE WINSHIELDS AND MANY, MANY ITEMS FOR THE JEEPS…LOCATED IN HESPERIA…CASH ONLY”
Might be a good price.
“1959 FC 150 Jeep, motor transmission and transfer case overhauled.

http://fortmyers.craigslist.org/col/cto/5578180711.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1700.
Mark just listed this one.
“Mini Jeep riding lawn mower 19.5 hp, 2 spark plugs, new carb, starter.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
Seller notes that white top is a 1979 Panorama top. Looks in great shape.
“Up for sale are my 2, cj2a soft tops. $500 for the black $350 for the white. Im getting a half top made. One is a newer bestop on the Jeep used for 2 short seasons and never in bad weather. It’s black and complete.
The second is a white Panorama Top from 1979 that was found new in a box. I had it cleaned up. Windows are really nice as is the white vinyl. There is one small hole lesser than the size of a metal snap. Inside the liner is nice but stained from the metal hardware that rusted a bit. It looks dark because it is still wet. All hardware is included along with the bow assembly handles latches etc. ”
Chris tells me he’s heading for Pennsylvania this weekend. Besides looking for and selling parts, he can also haul parts or jeeps. Contact him at nscustoms@hotmail.com if you think you can use him.
I’m heading out to PA this weekend. Do you know of any parts or people needing parts? I’m needing pto parts, parts jeeps, seat frames, engines, od, tailgates, windshield frames, etc. Have to save them, right?
UPDATE: **SOLD** at auction for $19,500. Bus spotted a video posted on Facebook about the auction. Unfortunately, I can’t get a direct link. You’ll have to scroll down a couple of posts. https://www.facebook.com/antiquecarpartsauction/?fref=nf
Upon our return home on Friday we learned there’d been a kitchen faucet leak. No damage to the cabinet, but the leaking faucet led to a new sink/faucet combo. So, there was no time for eWillys updates for Sunday. Updates will resume Monday morning!
I received an email with the following question. We are nearly home and I don’t have time to research it. Anyone know the answer?
I’m currently rebuilding, for a customer, a 1940 willys 4 cyl. It has babbitted connecting rods and I was wondering if standard later model rods could be substituted?
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
Has a few M-38 parts on it.
“I have for sale a rust free willys this is a running jeep it’s nice it needs a few things to be completely done but it’s ready to use or ride in the parades now”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,900.
“1960 FC-150 for sale. This is an original, fully functional FC-150 that was restored in the early 1990’s. The drivetrain was rebuilt, and it was painted in original colors. There is now enough patina to make it cool and it’s in a perfectly useable condition. I’ve driven it 150+ miles in a day and it does great. It will cruise along at 50mph.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $200.
Looks like it’s missing some glass.
“I have a in nice shape top and doors all metal”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $300
I can’t tell if this is a CJ-5/6 or flattie.
“Came off an old willys jeep cj would trade for an atc or utility trailer.”
It’s an early ’47 based on the body tag and serial number (matching).
“1942 cj 2a jeep willys up for trade or sale. Looking for best offer or nice sport quads. Needs a battery, and maybe little wiring done to it to get it to run. A little restore was done on it 10+ years ago, Sat out in the weather for a few years. I picked it up from a buddy’s dad. Minimal surface rust but no bad spots at all. Motor turns over but has no spark. Needs a good home. Bill of sale only. Needs to be taken to WSP for a vin inspection to get title. I did most of the home work on that issue and it’s pretty simple.”

May be worth a look.
“Awesome old Service Station Jeep

“All original jeep willys CJ2A…4×4 3 speed, runs great , all fresh fluids…no tire kickers, serious buyers only… Don’t waste my time or yours….starts right up and runs great…8,500 cash only !!!!!!!!!!”
Tuesday night the site was moved to a new server, so I couldn’t do any updates (and that is why the site was down). Next updates will be Thursday morning.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500
Might be worth a look.
“1952 jeep m38a1 starts and drives good all new brakes new tires comes with trailer still 24V all gauges and 4 wheel drive works I’m selling because I just have to many things drive it home”
Seller believes this was modified by Barris.
“I have a one of a kind 1951 Willys jeep hard top cj1a that i believe was made by Bairrs Customs in the late 1950s.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
Jim spotted this unusual radio.
“If your wanting one of these include your number due to so much spam. Yes you are reading this correctly!! I make and sell unique Military Collector Radios! This listing is for a USMC Jerrycan that has been converted into a portable radio. It has 4 marine Pyle speakers in it that are powered by an 800 watt marine amp! This unit also has a 12 volt power supply built into it that you recharge with your trickle charger. This one also has bedliner sprayed on it. You can plug in anything with a Headphone type plug! I used an Ipad, IPhone as well as a MP3 player on it and sounds awesome. Makes a killer statement when you show up at your events! Parties, tailgating at games and concerts! I can also make these out of ammo cans or even pelican cases. Just ask! Great for Jeep guys as well! If you want something custom it will require a deposit. Depending on what’s wanted on them it can go up in price! ”
Reminder from yesterday:::: Good news: my email is working again. Bad news: of the 330 emails that I received over the past seven days, only 70 were saved in the process of getting the system back online.
So, if you sent me an email and I haven’t responded to some request or question, presume the email lost and re-email me.
Has an unusual roll cage; 1 1/2″ tubing or smaller?
“Looking to sell or trade my 1948 Jeep Willys CJ2A flat fender 4×4. Has Chevy 327 V8. 3 speed manual transmission. Beard seats. They need covers. Hi Lift jack and new LED lights on front.”

Welcome to 2016. This is the 9th year of eWillys. Hopefully, once the book gets finished, which it will get finished, Ann and I will hit the road for more exciting adventures. We still have lots of things to see, people to meet and jeeps to drool over. I know for sure we’ll be in Utah in early June (my youngest son is graduating high school and wants us to take him to dinner. How can I resist that offer? We are also tentatively planning to go to the FC-Roundup in March. Over the past week I’ve been considering the possibility of exploring more of Nevada and southern Idaho for a couple reasons, but we also talked about trying to get to Europe. The latter idea may have to wait another year until we save some more money.
It amazes me that after 8 years and 35,500 posts that I can still find some unique content out there. I’ll keep turning over rocks until I run out of stories. Thanks for everyone’s support!!
Several folks shared this article published by Jalopnik. In 2013 during our drive through Michigan Brian had suggested we stop by Ron Hattner’s place, but we never did find it. Later on, we were surprised to learn that when he’s not working jeeps, he has a Wurlitzer organ he’s installing in his basement.
