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: Still Available.
(01/03/2021) Looks on the rough side. It’s being sold by a dealership.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3965987900113317
“4×4 Rare Audi/Auto Union Jeep used by NATO peace keeping forces. Basically complete has some rocker rust but otherwise quite sound. Very rare and collectible parts available through multiple sources.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $19,990.
(12/11/2020) This is certainly unusual build.
“f Jeep would have started building these in the 70s, they would have never had financial issues. Look at this rare piece.The Jeep was built using all CJ5 parts. The front door is modeled off of a CJ7. The rear door is modeled off of a CJ5.
The bed is extended to the length of a CJ6 or CJ8 Scrambler. The frame is stretched 36 inches in the middle and 14 inches behind the rear axle. The frame was boxed from the front to the rear spring perches. It has Dana 30 and Dana 44 axles (both are open diffs). The transfer case is a Dana 20. The transmission is a 3 speed. I believe it is a T150.
The engine is an AMC 360 from a 1972 Wagoneer. It was rebuilt about 20,000 miles ago. It was bored over. The crank was turned. It got all new bearings, new pistons, new valve guides, and hardened seats. It has an RV cam, an Edelbrock SP2P low rise dual plane intake, and a Holley Street Avenger 570cfm double pumper carb. Skip White electronic ignition/distributor. Warn 8274 Winch. Heavy duty steel front fenders. (Matching Rescue Green CJ5 OEM fenders also included.) Rear corner guards. The motor has more than enough power for a vehicle this size.
I thought this custom rebuild of a CJ-8 Scrambler would be more expensive.

Here’s an unusual merger of parts. I don’t remember seeing this combination.

“94 jeep with 1959 nose ,4cylinder 5 speed duel side pipes runs good drives good new brakes tires little rust in floors fixed. won’t let me post $1500 so i have to put it here.”
It doesn’t run at the moment. It has a Missouri title for some reason. There’s nothing to indicate it is a 1946 or was ever a WW2 jeep.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/687047558645517
“$15,000 Here is the real deal WW2 willys Jeep Jeepney from the Philippines. Was built in the 1960’s with old war Jeeps left behind. This is a real deal with Isuzu diesel and 4 speed transmission. Old owner was a maga millionaire that took his family in the annual parade every year in this. It was part of the Schats bakery collection. Has a clean Missouri title and had over $5000 invested in the running gear years ago. Been sitting maybe 4 years and will run and drive in a few hours.”
ausUnique jeep, but expensive to get parts.

Bill shared this former volunteer Fire Department truck. It’s a slow time of year, so why not post it. I have no idea what these are worth.

“This Kaiser was in use by a Volunteer Fire Dept. Had brake problems and removed the master cylinder. Never completed repair. The master cylinder is included. This truck has little rust and interior is almost rust free. Cab in good shape. Solid flat bad. Batteries have been removed. You are welcome to put batteries in it and come start it prior to bidding.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on Ebay.
This Shriner’s jeep has a Willys MA look to it, though the seller presents no evidence that this was a Shriner’s jeep, it’s the right size for one.
“Up for sale Shriner parade kart, go kart. This is a extremely rare Shriner kart. The only other one that I know of is in a museum in South Dakota. I be leave this Willys Jeep is from the early 1950s. The Jeep is mostly original with the exception of newer tires, rims, upholstery, paint, carpet, and engine. The engine has never had gas or oil in it. Everything appears to be in working order.”
Bill spotted this nice looking Wagoneer. I don’t know how accurate the restoration is, but it sure looks good.
https://newlondon.craigslist.org/cto/d/ashford-jeep-wagoneer/7254894335.html
“The Jeep Wagoneer first previewed in 1963 and has been called the first all wheel drive SUV, even though it was really a station wagon. This one of a kind classic example represents the nearly three decades of production with the same body style ending with the Grand Wagoneer in 1991. It wears up front the first year grill, has seventies 6 lug wheels/hubcaps and interior from the eighties. Being the ‘ Limited ‘ edition it has all the bells and whistles to include power windows, side mirrors, 4 way leather seats and rear window that all that work as they should. The factory AC blows cold and the heater/defroster does hot. It still has the factory Am/Fm cassette radio that works.
This vintage wagoneer spent most of its life in Colorado, where they do not salt the roads during the winter and was shipped to Conn. in the early 2000 teens to begin its restoration. The 4.2 L straight 6 has been rebuilt/machined with maybe 2000 miles since the overhaul. I have all the repair and parts receipts along with the factory repair manuals. You would be hard pressed to find a cleaner rust free Wagoneer. However, the original rubber body mounts have seen better days. I do have new oem replacements from Crown waiting to be installed. It is currently registered and insured. Serious buyers only and I will gladly take phone calls. Tire kickers or purists need not apply. I will not respond to e-mails without a contact number… Thanx for looking…’
The hubs and jeep wheels make me think there’s some jeep DNA under this plow rig.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/321295522237972/
“This is a 196? Dodge power wagon i was told it was all running a few years ago then the starter went i put a new one in and it turns fine but theres a crack in the intake due to water so probly gonna need a engine if fixed its a 318 4 speed good little plow rig just dont have time plow setup works i figure 500 for plow and 200 for the rest of it so 700 firm you got to haul it thanks”
Bill spotted this project FJ-40. Seems a reasonable price based on others we’ve seen.
https://providence.craigslist.org/cto/d/seekonk-1972-toyota-landcruiser-fj40/7250447286.html
“For sale is a 1972 Toyota Landcruiser. Me and my dad picked this up as a winter project but we’re realizing we just don’t have the bandwidth to tackle a project of this magnitude at this point in time.
It’s a 3.9 liter inline 6 motor with a 3 on-the-tree manual transmission. Clean Mass title ready to be signed over.
The motor turns over and wants to fire up but it doesn’t have spark. We’ve bought new points, a new coil, and a new condenser ready to be installed which should solve the spark issue. Comes with vinyl doors, diamond plate tailgate, and bench seat.
Any part you could need for this is readily available online. Cruiser Solutions up in New Hampshire can do any motor or body work needed.”
Mark spotted this solid (especially for South Carolina) looking Jeep Wagoneer. I’m not sure about the price (haven’t followed these prices).

“4WD automatic 350 v8. 64,565 original mileage. 1970 was the last year that Kaiser owned Jeep. This is a true classic. Driven daily and runs great! Original upholstery in good condition. Chrome in good condition.”

This Land Rover was important from Paraguay and does not have a US title.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/550242015865151
“1968 Land Rover Santana – Imported from Paraguay (South America). Left Hand Drive, Diesel, Manual Transmission. Solid project for a rugged daily or full high end restoration and custom project. Overlander. Camping. Paint is original brown under the blue wrap. Was used as a rural ambulance in Paraguay. Comes with the Land Rover branded winch in unknown condition but that has to rare? Series III (series 3) 109 pre Defender 110 model but similar look. Very cool rare vehicle. 5 door. Has seats for 10. Has the safari roof with vents under it. This is a legally imported Land Rover from Paraguay. The title is still foreign but I will help the new owner transfer the title to US…I just didn’t do it due to having brought in 6 cars at once and no need to do everything 2x since I’m not keeping it. I WILL HELP YOU GET THE TITLE IN YOUR STATE! Engine and drivetrain are complete but in unknown operational condition other than they turn freely.”
This has already had an engine change. It might make an interesting project for someone.

“This is a project vehicle! It is a 1985 Jeep CJ-10. Very rare Jeep, it was originally used as an aircraft tug by the Airforce. I have tried to turn it into overland/ rock crawler Jeep. Originally had the Nissan SD33 diesel in it, but was swapped for a Chevy In-line 7 292. Bored .030 over, big block valve train, head studs, Clifford intake, self made turbo charger kit. Automatic transmission to dual transfer cases. I believe a NP203 and NP205. 14bolt and Dana 44 8-lug conversion. Gear ratios unknown. The fenders were made to fit my old 38’s. The wheels on it are just cheap wheels I got to roll it around while I worked on it. 38’s are not for sale. This is a project vehicle and needs some work.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
Appears solid. It runs and drives, but could use brake work.
“Up for sale is one of the more rare military Jeeps. The last of the ‘Real Steel’ CJ’s, the CJ10a. Built as one of two models of the CJ10, this one was made for the US Air Force as a flightline tow tractor, or tug. There were about 2300 or so built, thus the rarity.
All steel body including the removable hardtop. The rear body is 3/16 and 1/4 inch plate steel as part of the traction weight. Additional traction weight is a 4 1/2 thick slab of steel in a pocket on the frame above the rear axle. Curb weight is around 5500 pounds.
Bill shared this rough, purpose-rebuilt FJ.
https://nh.craigslist.org/cto/d/candia-1973-toyota-fj40-land-cruiser/7231873449.html
“1973 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser with plow for parts. Sold on Bill of sale only. Complete motor, trans, rear end. NO TEXT MESSAGES. If you are interested please call me.”
Bill sent this link for a reasonably priced FJ-40. I don’t know how accurate the restoration is so far, but based on other prices I’ve seen, this seems to be a pretty reasonable one.

“1977 FJ40 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER FOR RESTORATION
This is a project I took on 2 years ago. I have gotten it to yard drive but it still needs more work. I fell into a deal with a gorgeous 1965 T-Bird and I just haven’t had the bandwidth to dedicate myself to the Land Cruiser.
Quick History: This vehicle was on the road until 2012, from that point on it sat in a gentleman’s driveway until 2018 when I bought it off him. He had owned it since 1985 and done some adventures up in Canada with it. He had even installed an auxiliary fuel tank to get extended range. During his ownership he had the engine rebuilt TOP and BOTTOM, the engine is NICE.
Since I bought it, I worked initially on getting it running. I replaced the original carburetor and it ran well. The cooling system and heater hoses were in terrible shape and I replaced them all with heavy duty clamps.
Unfortunately, at one point I switched the fuel source to the aux tank and it seemed to clog the fuel delivery. Long story short, there is an issue getting fuel to the carb, although I replaced the fuel pump, and filter.
What the vehicle still needs:
There is rust on the steel exterior body panels, especially the windshield frame and the bib. But the tub is aluminum and in fine shape. The fenders are fiberglass and doing great! The frame has rust. To make it off-road worthy you should reinforce several spots.
You will need to replace the exhaust system.
Tires hold air really well and have good tread, but are older.
Then you need to deal with the fuel problem. I would recommend a new fuel tank and new fuel hoses. A new mechanical fuel pump (if you need it, I put in a new one) is not expensive).
Ideally I would like to sell the seats separately to get some of my investment back, but I am flexible. So if you def want the seats, we can talk.
This is not a sale; it’s more of an adoption! I would like to talk on the phone first and then show you the vehicle.
I have the title in hand!
Here’s a video of the cruiser starting:
Bill shared this rare FJ-55 Landcruiser. I can’t speak to the rareness, but I do think the 50-year-old design has held up pretty well.
https://longisland.craigslist.org/cto/d/west-babylon-1972-toyota-land-cruiser/7228454177.html
“These are very rare, you see all the rest of the Toyotas advertised for sale but rarely an FJ55! 1972 Toyota FJ55 has the original F1 inline 6 motor and original 3 speed transmission and is running and driving well. (these don’t drive the greatest anyway! LOL) Nice older original colors paint job with hardly a nick or scratch in the entire truck if any! Has pretty good shine too, looks original. It was stored mostly after it was painted and the gentleman was working on it.
Odometer reads 22k mi so probably 122k. Pretty original interior in pretty good shape. Original tags are pictured clearly. Truck has most of it’s original parts if not all. The lights work, even the reverse lights. Gauges do not work and I can’t get the back window to work so that will need repair, the back panel comes off with 6 screws or so and everything is right there to repair it. Very little rust underneath but there is a couple of small spots.”
Looks like a fair price. The seller saved this from a crusher.

(07/05/2019) Craig shared this nice looking Jeepney. It’s got a number of cool details, including a map of the midwest painted on the ceiling. Listed as a 1946, I couldn’t say for sure if that year is accurate or not.
