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: **SOLD** Was $1000
No windshield frame. Might be a good project.
“1951 or 1952 willys jeep m38 real army jeep. This jeep is all disassembled . The guy i bought it from sandblasted and painted the frame . The frame is very solid no rust or rot. The body is partially sandblasted and it needs some patch panels. I have the original motor (seized) and another that runs. This is a project but it is pretty much all there. It is missing the windshield frame. $1000.00 Delivery can be an option ”
Pardon the brazen shout out to my nineteen year-old son, Karson. Tomorrow he begins a ten month stint with Fema Corps. He will start in Sacramento, where he will go through ‘boot camp’. Once he completes his training he’ll start working somewhere in the western US.
Fema Corps is a Fema specific arm of the Americorps NCCC program. The FEMA Corps members focus on disaster preparedness, response, and recovery activities, providing support in areas ranging from working directly with disaster survivors to supporting disaster recovering centers to sharing valuable disaster preparedness and mitigation information with the public.
It should be quite an adventure for him; the start of making his own way in the world. Here’s a pic of him sitting on the bumper from 2011 (remember that time I ran out of gas . . .). Good Luck Karson!
This is an original photograph of the 2WD DJ-6A. It begs the question, whatever happened to it?

“No rust Jeepster. You are considering bidding on a very nice (not perfect) example of an all-American, post-war classic; the Willys Overland Jeepster, from my mother’s hometown, Toledo, Ohio. This was the first, on-road Jeep available, post World War II. This car has the original, four-cylinder, flat head, 62 horsepower, Go-Devil engine. I purchased this vehicle in late Autumn of 2011, as a winter restoration project and it is now complete. I was able to acquire the vehicle at a very reasonable price, which prompted my purchase. The Jeepster was owned by the same family for the past thirty-seven years, however it wasn’t driven often. Consequently, when I acquired the Jeepster, many small (and, some big) things needed attention, simply due to lack of use. The body is very straight and solid. I recently had the fenders and aprons painted gloss black and the Michigan Yellow body color, repainted. All five tires are new. Once the car arrived, I handed the vehicle over to my mechanic and he performed the following work . . .(read the rest on eBay)”
This is a pretty stock jeep. Might make a good restoration project.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“I have had many requests to sell the entire Willys FC150, so after discussing it with my son, we would be open to selling this and focusing our efforts on my late fathers 1974 F250 4X4 HiBoy with 30,000 miles so please email with any questions and I can send additional pictures if needed.
This Jeep has been stored in a concrete building since 1965 and I dug it out this past weekend so that I can start a restoration project of the body with my son. It belonged to my grandfather who owned a local shortline railroad and he used the FC150 as a service truck to repair locomotives. He had taken the engine out and rebuilt it but never reinstalled it due to a health issue. Over the past month, I have replaced the seals and painted the engine. I have also rebuilt the transmission and transfercase so the engine, transmission, and transfer case are completed, painted and ready for install.”

(12/16/2012) This appears solid. I think this might have been given a camp-style paint job that was then covered with some cheap green spray paint.
“1954 Willys M170 Jeep CJ6
All stock running gear but not sure if everything is original to the jeep. F134 engine, T90 transmission, D18 transfer, dana 25 front and dana 44 rear. Replaced all fluids, battery, motor mounts, plugs, wires, steering parts, exhaust parts, master cylinder and fuel pump. No rust and all corners are solid. Very good start to restore or with some work would make a nice trail rig. Starts right away but I don’t know much about the drive train. Was not running when I got it but after replacing all the parts above it runs and drives. I bought it to fix up but I don’t have the time. PLEASE do some research on this jeep or know what it is before calling. This would not be a good daily driver. It is almost 60 years old and only goes about 50mph.
The M170 is a very rare jeep. They only made around 4000 of them from 1953 to 1964. These were originally used as front line ambulances or radio trucks. This was the CJ6 before they started making them. It was originally 24volt but has been switched to 12.
4,000 OBO or trade
Please call or text Charlie at 602-79one*two6one1”

UPDATE: Was $1400. **SOLD**
(10/19/2012) This may be worth a look. I love the looks of those Ford Flathead motors.
“I have a 1948 Willys CJ-2a that is in decent condition. The body is pretty sound, there are a few rusty spots here and there. The main area of concern is a few spots in the front toeboards. If you have the capability to weld, these repairs should be no big deal. Overall this Jeep is very fixable. The master cylinder and slave cylinder need to be rebuilt, and this thing could be drivable.
Someone retrofitted a late model Ford flathead v-8 motor into this thing many years ago. The motor runs excellent, and has 50 pounds of oil pressure. Clear title to the Willys. I can’t tell you anything more than what I wrote here, you’re going to have to assess the vehicle with your own two eyes in person.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
(11/15/2012) The step has been redone and this is missing a few details.

I ran across this photo of a Ford GP at the LIbrary of Congress.

I was surprised to see this ad for Warn Overdrives in the September, 1965, issue of Popular Mechanics.

The price is good on this great old photo.

I don’t know much about these trailers.
” This is a US Navy Military World War 2 Trailer built by Couse Labs for the US Navy. Its hard to read the date plate. It says Spares Trailer, Type CAHT-10284, Department of Ships. Serial number 211 I think. There is a picture of the date plate. We have only seen one restored online, its the only other one we were able to find. I believe its got one “combat rim” on it and one M38A1.Will help load her onto a truck if needed. There is another Combat Rim that will go with her (pictured). The last picture is of a Couse Labs built US Navy Trailer restored.”
I don’t know anything about these, but thought some of you would find it interesting.
“This is a 1944 Omaha Industries M3A4 Hand Cart. Omaha only made around 3600 M3A4’s, making this one of the rarer manufacturers to find.
This cart is very complete- it is only missing the draw bar, as most ones that get found are, and the cover and tow ropes. All these are available as reproductions.
The body is straight and is “barn fresh”, with only light surface rust. A quick clean up and some paint and it will look great. All the proper hardware appears to be there and it looks to be in good shape.
The wheels are intact and the original military marked tires are there. The tires do have damage, but a skilled person may very well to able save them since they are tube type. The damage on both is to the inside so they could be good display tires. In addition I am including a brand new pair of Carlisle tires that are the closest tires available to one of the styles used in WWII, these tires are $100+ alone. This gives the restorer an option of what tires to use.
The original and very hard to find bearing covers are not installed, but are included.”
