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 .
The hood on this is hinged in the front.

(09/17/2024) According to the seller this was a Navy contract CJ-2A. It’s not clear what evidence the seller has, but there might be a plate under the serial plate on the firewall. This would be a rare 2A if that’s the case.

“Former navy contract CJ2A. Was an airport jeep for a while. Easy to work on, currently turns over but I haven’t got it to start back up. It is a great hobby vehicle and so much fun to cruise around in. Give me your best offer!”
Andy spotted this one with two steering wheels.

(09/30/2024) Listed as a 1941, this lacks the correct grill, but appears to have an MB frame. It also appears to have GPW tool lids. There is no glove box. This might be a compilation of parts? Note that the hubs are stamped “Allstate” and likely are rebranded Husky hubs. Also, the tires are branded “Allstate”.

This jeep is ready for restoration for someone who has the passion, knowledge and time (which unfortunately is not us right now).
– [ ] Appears to have the original paint and seats.
– [ ] All original except for the Allstate locking hubs.
– [ ] 4-cylinder; 6-volt system.
– [ ] Sitting on 4 good tires (replaced two tubes).
– [ ] The engine turns over, but we have not attempted to start it.
– [ ] New battery.

– [ ] Been in Arizona so only two spots of rust on the passenger floorboard and on the body undercarriage.
– [ ] Arizona historic plates.
– [ ] Ready to be loaded on a trailer and delivered.”
This is a project of some type. The body looks to be a replacement body, so hard to tell if this has a WWII or CJ chassis/

“I have a 1942 Willys Jeep. This Jeep was in WW.needs carborator. ORIGINAL transimission. Everything ORIGINAL. I do not know original Miles. Registered and I also Have title in hand.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
(08/12/2024) This FC-170 has been shorted to accommodate a Parson’s 6ft bed.
“1962 Jeep FC.Originally a 170 model,I took the bed off and shortened the frame. I had this PARSON’S 6FT utility bed I picked up years ago and I put them together. The utility bed had a missing door so I made one and just need to cut the hole for the latch and install it.. Minor rust on both the cab and bed.. Some rust above windshield. Most panels are straight. Missing drivers glass. The 80 year old previous owner installed a 67ish chevy 250/th350 and wired himself with this brother.. They installed a 8.8 rear end but left the front axle. This thing runs and drives well,stops well. Has manual steering but it’ll put hair on your chest! The only thing is that it runs a bit hot,I just installed a 16″ electric fan and it can idle for a while but if you drive it kinda hard,the temp creeps up.. I think I needs timing and maybe more airflow since the bumpers kinda block that… Great for your business. No trades..”
Not sure how much value is here.

Ann taking her cousin for a spin in the Race Jeep.
We had our annual family gathering last weekend (hence the lack of updates). I was busy up til folks started arriving on Friday morning and didn’t stop moving until Sunday night. We had around 40 folks camping, tenting, RVing, staying in the house, crashing in the bunk house, and even sleeping in the shop’s extra rooms. The weather was perfect, warm during the day and cool enough at night for some fires.
The balloons launched at 7am Saturday morning, but Sunday proved too windy (the balloons launch about a 2 miles from us). This year the winds took the balloons east, so we didn’t get any close up views from our property (but most relatives went to the airport to watch them). However, most of the time we were all having fun, playing games, eating and hanging out. Here are some random pics from the event.
We rented a bounce house and obstacle course for the young ones.
A silly race.
Using chalk paint, I made four square, hop scotch, and a tic-tac-toe play areas.
I built a set of corn holes with a balloon theme. These were a bit hit.
On Friday night, one of the relatives got out his fire dancing items and entertained us at the fire pits. He’s been spinning fire for more than a decade (though he’s only been part of the family for just over a year). So, this is a neat treat.
I purchased these posters circa 2011(?). They are all based on brochures published by Willys-Overland or Willys Motors. I sold all of them, except for keeping a personal copy of each one. It’s unclear where I ever published this post.

His goal was to enter it in local car shows and, so far, he’s won four trophy’s with it. Nice work!
Bill shared this short story about a man from South Africa who had a life-long dream to own a Willys. FYI: 1 South African Rand is currently equivalent to $17.50 USD. R21,000 = aprox $1,200USD.

Tanner found a set of four of these adapters, but several of us don’t recognize them (Here are some for comparison: http://www.ewillys.com/2017/04/05/dual-wheel-adapters/). They seem closest to the Hickey adapters, but also different front them. Here are the pics:

Dan shared this nice looking CJ-2A with a Kelly 23 series hardtop. This HiBid auction ends with a soft close in 23 days. This does have some unusual looking hubs, which I imagine are just a cover over the original hubs?
