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 .

How about this unusual matchbook cover from Fort Worth Willys showing a CJ-5 and a PTO/Post Hole Digger in action.
Bentley gave us a heads up on this. There is a CJ-3B in parts, a CJ-2a, a VEC CJ-2A (mistakenly identified by the auctioneer as a military jeep), and a ton of parts and tools. The VEC is particularly interesting as it appears to have full floating hubs, so it might be very VEC.

“Selling a Jeep Willys FC-170 w/ a dump bed and w/ wide snow plow.
This jeep has a heavy duty dump bed and a heavy snow duty snow plow. The motor ran when we parked it a few years ago. We drove it to were it sits now. The engine did need a tuneup and potentially more. The dump bed was working off the motor driven hydraulics when we parked it as well as can be seen in the pictures.
Email us if you are interested or have questions about it.
There is also 2 other FC-170’s with different configurations (one is a flat bed, $500, and one is a utility bed, $800) that are for sale. $2,000.00 for all 3.”
This is one nice wagon.
“a friend that started Fujimo in the mid 80’s passed away and i purchased it and finished it. it has had 4 engines a 283,350 ,400 and now a 383 stroker. it has a rack and pinion mustang 2 with disc brakes for a front end. 383 stroker motor connected to a 350 turbo with a 3200 stall converter. top has been chopped approx 4 inches and top of roof stands at apptox 67 inches. car was shown with great sucess in the early 90’s. fujimo was driven and not a trailer queen. he was retired in 1996 and placed in air conditioned storage.. he was taken out approx 5 months ago and sent to an old nascar mechanic in georgia. valves that had become noisy in storage were adjusted, transmission whose seals had dried out was completele rebuilt and cooling system was redoone including new larger radiator, new waterpump and electric cooling fan and larger fan blade was installed. clear coat had a couple of bubbles in it so fujimo was taken down to bear metal and new graphics and coat of yellow paint was applied, new carpet was also installed . old diamond pattern upholstory has a few minor stains but it was decided to leave it alone. considered installing an aftermarket SUV rack for the surfboard but decided against it. It would probably cost over one hundred thou to reproduce this vehicle. have invested over 15,000 since coming out of storage. I am 78 years old so it’s time for my old friend to go to a new home.”

Freshly overhauled engine a few years ago, 4WD works with locking hubs, new Courser traction LT tires, front brakes overhauled, high torque 12V starter, new carburetor, good battery, lights work, 12V conversion with Chevy alternator, new temp guage and ammeter.

The bid is only at $100, so there’s still value here. No title. It is being sold for parts.

I was contacted by a eBayer who informed me this Willys is older then 1960. I was going by the pick slip when I listed it. Best I can tell by the pictures posted on line it appears to be a 1951 front grill and rear door etc. I don’t know if the parts are interchangeable . But the pick slip says 1960.”

Lots of upgrades on this rockcrawler.
“Back up for sale. I have a 1953 Willys CJ3A built for rockcrawling. I have built this for the last 7 yrs and now I need one for the family. It has way to many upgrades to list. A few of the basics are: its a Willys that has a Buick V6 225, TH350 trans, Dana20 w/ Teralow gears, Dana30 Front and Dana 44 rear axles both w/ ARB air locker 4:88 gears and chrome Moly shafts (The rear is full float/ the front has bigger U joints), Custom made MRW extreme 40 count real beadlocks w/ 37″ (almost new) radial iroks. Custom removeable cage, 4 linked rear suspension w/ Fox Air Shocks …….. I have built this for many years and I know it inside and out. It runs excellent even at 8000 ft elevation. I just went thru the Jeep and replaced the electric fuel pump and fixed the drivers caliper and bracket I broke last year. This is 100% ready for the trail this year. I have ran many trails such as the Rubicon Trail countless times and Fordyce Jeep Trail and this jeep performs well!!!!! I have put over $13,000 into this jeep in the last 7 years. I have almost every reciept for this build. I can remove the PowerTank, puematic system and winch for 1,000 off the price. I could still use those. It’s not street leagal as of now but eaisly could be with the addition of a few items. (I towed it to the trails) still has registration tags not a green tagged vehicle. For more info or many more pics just email. NO LOW BALLERS I dont need to sell this fast. $6500.00obo Thanks for looking.”

(10/23/2012) It runs and drives, but has rust. It’s unusual to see a towbar on the front of a FC!

(10/21/2012) If this is a 1941, it should have a squared gas tank and be a slatgrille. I did a search for a “General Ralph Pangonis”, but could only find a General William Pangonis, who supervised logistical operations during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

(11/05/2012) I think this should have chrome bumpers like the jeep above. Still, this looks in good shape.
“1967 Jeep CJ6 (20″ longer than a CJ5). This is the Tuxedo Park Mark IV model, which amounts to chrome on hindges, etc. This jeep has the Duantless (hurricane) GM V6 engine which was stock, the first engine Jeep went to after the F & L four cylinder flat head engines. This jeep comes with the original hard top & hard doors, which all have new glass (i bought it from a fellow who owned a glass shop). The previous owner did a frame up restoration (no drive train that i know of). I have done the following to the jeep: new wiring harness; front disc brakes; power steering; tilt steering; larger gas tank under the rear end; changed the manual 3 speed transmission to a 4 speed with a granny gear (the tranny needs some work as 2nd gear is tough going in); replaced oil bath air filter with a dry element air filter; rebuilt transfer case; new oil pressure, temp, tachometer, fuel & volt gauges; electric heater; kenwood stereo (not a modern blue tooth/USB type, it was a few years ago). This jeep has a PTO winch on the front, will pull itself up a tree! Bridgestone mud dueler tires, you won’t need tires for several years to come. Tow bar. It comes with two rear seats, the original & an after market folding rear seat from JC Whitney. CB radio. Sad to say i am selling this jeep to buy a newer one, the newer ones are easier to get in & out of, my knees are getting old! If you don’t like the price make me an offer to buy or trade for a newer jeep that has bigger door openings!”
I ran across this article yesterday. Some college students at the Ontario, Canada, college of Notre Dame plan to restore a 1943 Willys. The picture comes from the Welland Tribune’s online article.

Here are a couple different postcards of a DJ-3A Surrey towing some kind of visitor car at the Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn in Frankenmuth, MI. The Bavarian Inn is still there. I wonder what happened to the jeep?

Pictured here are a couple Willys MAs. I spotted the pictured at http://med-dept.com/testimonies/harold_okeefe.php
This is located in Israel. It’s just kind of unusual, so I thought I’d highlight it.

Anyone have the right 1904 Holley (or 1909?) for the f-head installation into a flattie? I’m trying to help a reader find one.
If I understand correctly, these are the correct carb numbers: R-2003A und R-2003-1A (Ford p / n of CODE-9510B or CODE-9510D)
Here are some links with information about the Holley carb / f-head / flattie install

This has not been restored. However, it has been dented.

This had a V8 swap in it. It has very early data plates, which suggests it was a VEC. It also has the tool indents. I can’t tell if it has a column shift still or not. It has the square washers on the windshield.
“i have a 46 willys jeep project. to many projects need to sell. it had a sb chevy in it. no titel bill of sale. i do have the engine that was in it but it was locked up . 1200 obo”
