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 .
Seth found this rare ad. The Gala rented for $6 a day. Looks to be actually a surrey.
Has plenty of footman loops on the hood. Looks solid.

“For sale is an extremely clean 1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A. This Willys Jeep came from Tucson, Arizona where the original owner purchased it new in 1948 and lived there until he decided to sell it to a gentleman in New Mexico over 10 years ago. After the Jeep came to New Mexico it had an older restoration done back in 2004. Soon after the Jeep was restored the owner drove it, and used it pretty regular so It’s not in show room quality anymore, but it’s still in amazing shape for its age. It has the original and very reliable 4-134 L Head Go-Devil engine that was completely rebuilt and runs excellent, also this Jeep is still running the original 6 Volt electrical system with a brand new battery that works flawlessly.
Lots of diamond plate. Not a bad job on the bed.
“We are moving and have decided to sale this old truck. The truck was running last year but needs the carborator cleaned and some new gas. Not sure if it needs a new carborator or not because it has been setting for over a year. We had it 90% restored a few years back. We also have a 1958 Jeep Willy’s for parts that we will let go with the sale of the 1963. All parts on 1958 can be used on 1963. The 1958 (parts truck) is missing the bed to the truck but has motor. The 1963 (Truck shown in pictures) has it’s original Title and still has the original drive train so top speed is about 45mph. It also has a custom galvanized bed that is specified to the original bed that came on the original truck. The engine is a Super Hurricane 232 flathead 6 cylinder. The original mileage is shown in the photo of the speedometer. Serious inquiries only!”

Seth spotted this ad. If you are looking for some Kaiser cars, there are a few for sale. There’s also a CJ-3B behind the Jeepster, but I didn’t see a reference about it for sale.

“My family got into the car dealership business in the early 40’s. Kaiser Willys AMC Jeep Studebaker Nash . My grandpa started the Kaiser Willys dealership in Lisbon, Ohio and had collected cars along the way. My dad took over the dealership in 1988 and stopped selling new vehicles when Chrysler took over.

“1958 Willy’s Jeep Flatbed with lumber rack. Jeep was put away running good approximately 25 years ago. The jeep has a power take off that was used for drilling post holes as well as other duties.
I am selling it for my dad who says that it was referred to as a three wheel drive with posi-track. He always said it could climb a tree. It is all original, appears that someone stole badges from hood and gauge from inside (not sure which). Has good glass. Overall pretty straight and has the expected rust for this model. Asking $1,400 OBO. Clean title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $850.
Has some parts value.
“Picked this up the other day, I buy a lot of Jeeps and couldn’t pass up the deal. I intended to use it as a little yard Jeep but I am in the process of moving to a new shop and starting a business in the next couple of months and realize that I do not want to have to move this to the new shop and it is just taking up space now and will be for the foreseeable future.
It has no vin plates, but is an early 50s CJ-3B Willys. I have no title. Most of it is there, engine, trans, tcase, axles. It rolls, but does not run. The engine is seized but might break free with a good soaking. I have some oil down in the cylinders for the last couple of days. Has the Hurricane 4-cyl and the T90 3-spd transmission. Radiator and some parts are missing off of it, but it is a pretty good solid project.”
Might be rough. Can’t tell how bad it is.

Audi Murphy looks taller in person . . .
Today we began our trek northwestward. We got going later than planned, as usual, so I passed up my opportunity to be manscaped at the local barber, Milford’s, that Jason recommended. We really needed to get going so we could beat the rain that was heading our direction from Dallas. So, I remain longhaired.
Our first objective was Whitehouse, Texas, to locate a big hat. Along the way we passed two towns Jason mentioned during our history lesson: Sacul and Reklaw. These two adjacent towns faced the same problem when they applied for a post office. Both original names were taken. So, the town brain trusts decided to spell the names backwards. Thus, Lucas became Sacul and Walker became Reklaw.
When we finally reached Whitehouse it didn’t take long to locate the hat. It’s a big white hat that sits atop a coffee shop. It just might be the largest cowboy hat in Texas! Of course, I had to buy a drink.
Jesse forwarded me these videos for your viewing pleasure. He’s already planning for 2016. You don’t see two FC M-679s butting head often!
Also, don’t forget these FC events coming up this year:
July 24-26 in the MidWest, WaynesVille, Ohio.

Goose repurposed this grille for a coat rack. And, it’s a smart way to store jeep parts, too 🙂
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.

Standard transmission
4 cylindard engine
Worn hubs
Steel top
2000 lbs wench

Of course, it isn’t all stock, but still worth a look. It kind of runs. McLeary is a wet area, so check for rust.
“Hey there, you are looking at a stock Willy’s Flat fender with a L head ford 134 4 cylinder in it. I helped my brother in law out who needed cash, but really do not have the room or time for another jeep project. My father in law did a full brake job,and tune up 4 years ago, and the jeep has not been on the road since. I went to Mcleary, Wa with a battery, 5 gallons of fresh gas and a trailer. I was able to get it running and drive it onto the trailer in just a few mins. It will need lots of tinkering to make it a driver, but the bones are all there and in good shape. Please not trades, or payments. Just looking to recoup my costs. 19k miles on the Odometer, but who knows at this age. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD ** Was $10,000
Not the deal of a lifetime and not all original, but could have some good value.
“IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A ONCE IN A LIFETIME DEAL! YOU FOUND IT.

Engine smokes some. It’s missing parking lights.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3250.
Seller will not reply to any number outside a 406 prefix, but does have email.
“1957 Willys FC150. Nice original body, not a lot of rust, was stored inside for years. Missing the transmission, transfer case, radiator and undoubtedly some small parts but is basically complete and sound. Box floor is good, glass is good enough to use, etc. I bought this out of an auction in Livingston last summer and was going to try to restore it but I recently bought an FC170 that is pretty nice so I’m going to do that one. I also have 3 Willys pickups and a CJ3A. Enough Willys projects for now.
This is $3250 as it sets. It can stay in my storage for free until July 1st, then it either has to go away or you start paying storage of $25 a month, which is what they charge me.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
GPW with some CJ parts.
“1942 Military Jeep for sale. Naturally, I have the full title. It runs great and is driven weekly. Most major systems have been rebuilt including brakes, steering, frame, etc. It has the “F” Ford symbols throughout the entire vehicle. The front grille has been replaced with a CJ2A grille by a previous owner.
Would be a great project for someone who wants to finish out the body for a full restoration. I have a full history of this partial restoration.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
Neither runs nor is complete.
“Only have title to the fc it’s 4×4 manual ruff but nearly complete head is off the motor built on the m-38 frame or cj3a not exactly sure idk anything about it I traded for this

There’s some stock jeep here. It’s missing some parts though.
“We have a 48 willys cj-2a that needs paint. Has a couple of hole that will need patched. Otherwise solid. Motor runs and is still a 6 volt system. You don’t find many of these that are still this close to stock. Will here all offers has clean title”
