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 .

“This FC-150 has the engine and transmission out, and is ready for the re-power of your choice. Or, if desired you could easily find an original engine. The engine mounts have not been cut out. It comes with the original T-90 3 spd and T-case. It has an electric hydraulic dump bed.
This is the nicest FC-150 Body I’ve seen in the past 20 years, with all the cab corners in good shape. There is a small amount of rust through in the driver’s floor. And rust repair is needed along the front of the cab above the bumper, as you can see in the photo. The engine cover has been modified, and is ready for you to finish. A SBC was planned, but not finished, two owners ago.”
Lou spotted this classic image of a man and his wagon at the New Jersey State Archives Facebook page. The chair hanger / fishing pole holder on the passenger side is interesting. Lou writes, “That’s on the beach at Island Beach State Park with Barnegat Lighthouse in the background – since those 10 miles of beach are preserved it still looks about the same and you can buy a pass to drive on the beach and fish.”
Guy forwarded this CJ-6 Brochure auction.
“8.5 X 4″ folder. 8 views and specs. Xlnt with year written in pencil, dealer stamp.”

This looks real nice, but some of the decisions surprise me, such as not having the transmission plate cover installed.
“Vin # CJ2A63505. This Willy’s is in excellent condition and the under carriage looks as good as the rest of the Jeep. The restoration was done about 8 years ago by the previous owner who lived in California. The original engine has been replaced with a 1970’s 231 odd fire V6 Buick engine. Since the restoration it has only had about 200 miles put on it. This Willy’s has an all steel body not aluminum or fiberglass knock off.”

This appears to have MB running gear and tub with a CJ front clip. It appears solid.
“1946 Willys Jeep. Original 2.2 iron duke with 6 volt. It has a 3 speed and i believe 5.38 gears. Runs and drives. Current registration. Has not been modified so if you want to make a custom crawler this is a great start.

The body looks like a DJ-3A. The rear axle hubs suggest this could be a mb/gpw frame and running gear.

“THIS IS NOT LIKE 95% OF THE WILLY’S JEEPS YOU FIND AROUND HERE! ARIZONA JEEP WITH NO RUST!!!!
I brought it here when I moved from Phoenix and it’s been in storage ever since. It’s in great shape but engine needs rebuilding (low compression). I’ve discribed it in more detail below. If you are reading this it is still available, I will delete the ad the moment someone buys it.
I’ve owned, played, and worked on it over the 15 or so years. This jeep has had a frame off rebuild, stored inside and over the years I’ve put a lot of time and money into it, best guess about 10,000+. Relax, I know I’m not going to get that out of it, I’m just looking for best offer, possibly $4500 cash or $7500 trade. I am open to discussions on all fair trades but I will not discuss a lower cash price without showing the Jeep to you first, THIS IS A MUST SEE. (more info on Craigslist)”
This has a mb/gpw passenger fender.
“This jeep is an extremely rare breed. 1953, original from motor to brakes. starts and runs fine. dont be fooled this is not a daily driver as is. great project for all those jeep enthusiasts out there. hit me up at 757-773-9619 if u wanna take a peep.”

It’s very original, except for the seats, the steering wheel, the gauges, the rear lights, etc . . . . The price isn’t too bad though.
“1947 Willys. 4×4. Very little rust. 302 engine with the original jeep gearbox. Completely original other than the engine. Great project.”

This looks like a good price.

“Rare 6 Cyl “Tornado” OHC Engine, 63k miles, like new in and out, 2 owners for last 38 yrs, not interested in dealers call only”

Odd pic. I’m assuming the guns are sold separately?
