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 .
It’s been sitting, but still might not be a bad price.

(12/05/2012) This top is homemade with soft top and hard sides. Looks interesting.
“1961 Jeep (Willys), Unique and hard to find CJ 6, 4 cylinder F-head, 3 speed transmission, 2 wheel-4 wheel high and 4 wheel low transfer case which has been partially rebuilt, various newer steering parts, newer lock-out hubs, newer springs (all), newer windshield wiper motor (driver side, passenger side is manual), newer windshield wipers, body is in rough shape, running gear is in very good condition, the top is homemade metal sides, back and doors (removable) are in good condition-the vinyl top (which is removable via snaps) will need to be replaced, the wiring under the dash has been redone, has newer OEM carb that now needs work and the original carb, 2 complete sets of tires/wheels; 1 set (5) of 7.00-15 Goodyear 6-ply bias-ply in good shape and 1 set (4) of Goodyear Wrangler radials not in good shape, the frame and cross members are all in very good condition. Light duty trailer hitch. AM radio. Master brake cylinder leaks, brake fluid needs to be checked prior to each drive. This is an old Jeep and due to the motor/transmission/gear ratios is not suitable for highway driving; its top speed is about 45 mph but will go about any place or climb about anything. Runs good.
The following items shown in the photos have been removed and do not go with the jeep: the top set of rear lights, gas can carrier (spare tire carrier will remain), CB radio and antenna for the CB, and the tow bar.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $950.
No drive train.

This afternoon I’ll be heading to Tacoma, Wa, for the 5th Annual Northwest FC Get Together. I’ll be heading there right after I rent a jackhammer and break up some concrete, so I think I’ll be in the mood for some relaxation!
I’d planned on doing posts, but got busy with the book. So, updates will go up Sunday along with a report on the FC event.
I didn’t get a chance to mention this, but when I picked up my V6 short block from Daryl, I discovered he had a set of rims I’ve been seeking for years: vintage 10×15 Turbines! We worked out a very fair deal. I’m thrilled!
Since I also have two sets of four Hurricane rims, I plan to sell one set. Below is a picture of what they look like. If you are interested, email me at d@ewiillys.com. The tires on them are still good and hold air, though there is three one one type and one of another kind.
There weren’t many jeeps for sale yesterday, so not many updates today. On another note, I received this JP Magazine update yesterday. The new website’s address is: http://www.Fourwheeler.com/JP-Magazine. After a quick review of the site, it’s easy to see the site has received a major facelift and the JP brand has been suppressed in favor of the Four Wheeler Network brand.
“The JP Magazine website has moved, and we’d also like to welcome you to what we feel is the ultimate site for off-road content on the Web — the Four Wheeler Network.
What is the Four Wheeler Network? A group of six publications, including: JP, FourWheeler, Petersen’s 4Wheel & Off-Road, Off-Road, 4Wheel Drive & Sport Utility, and Mud Life. While the network will carry the FourWheeler banner, JP Magazine and each publication will have its own unique landing page with the same great stories and personalities you’ve come to expect.”
UPDATE: Now listed in Nashville, TN
This scam is back. It was around last summer if I remember correctly.
Anyone know the history behind this? I can’t tell how big it is, but I’m guessing it’s pretty small.

Cal forwarded this running CJ-2A.
“1961 Willys Jeep FC-150 Forward Control four-wheel-drive pickup. Actual total mileage is unknown.
It starts and runs good, drives good and stops good.
The original pickup bed was rusted, so it was removed and a wood bed installed. Oak front bumper.
The bottom of the cab is very rusted, with several rust-through areas.
The engine is not the original F-head engine; it has been replaced with a flat-head Jeep engine.
However, included with the vehicle is another Willys Jeep F-head engine (not stuck, but needing overhauled),
and also many additional F-head engine parts (see photos).
Clear title. Not presently licensed for the road, just used around the farm.
Shop Manual and Owners Manual are also included.
Feel free to ask any questions you may have.
Vehicle is located near Woodstock, Illinois. If you are in the area, you can come and see it and test drive it.”

This is a mix of MB/GPW parts and CJ-2A.
“I have basically a complete 1946 CJ2A that is completely disassembled. I restored a 1943 GPW for a guy and have this parts Jeep leftover. Almost everything is there, but it is a major project or parts for your project. Have an Iowa title, but can not find a VIN on the frame. Usually not a problem with these older Jeeps.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350.
There might be some parts value given the intact drive train.

UPDATE: Fixed the link. Thanks Glenn.
Dan wasn’t sure if this was a Traveler or a Parkway, but it sure looks good. It also has a government plate on the dash.
“A true classic! It’s been in the family for almost 50 years, and now it needs a good home. Between 1999 and 2000 I spent over $25,000.00 on improvements, including New Goodwrench 350, transmission and transfer case replacement, performance radiator, front and rear axles, odometer and speedo, and much more. Since I’ve only put about 2500 miles on it in the last 12 years, it’s time to let it go. I have all documentation. Also, a PTO with winch. Runs and drives great! Tires were new as well, but they have become quite weather checked, and should be replaced. Buyer responsible for shipping.”
