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 .

Not sure there is much value here.

I ran across Milk River’s website, located in Alberta, Canada. To help support the Milk River Fire Department, they have printed t-shirts with an illustration of the department’s 1947 CJ-2A Fire Jeep. You can email them here for more information: http://milkriver.ca/government/town-departments/emergency-services/47-willys-t-shirts-for-sale/sendto_form
Here’s a picture of their Fire Jeep:
Bruce wanted to share some before and after pictures of a trailer he saved. As you can see, the before picture shows a pretty tired trailer. However, after six weeks of work by Bruce, the trailer looks like a great match for his flattie. Thanks for sharing Bruce.
Bruce wrote, “I purchased this trailer locally (7/2/12) for $600, more than i wanted to spend. however, it was simple to transport so i bought it anyway. they are hard to find.
Every nut, bolt and screw was removed, and all 20 leaves from the springs. All of the u-bolts and one shackle were replaced. All rust was removed. The floor had a few rust holes on the side that i duct taped over and then rhino guarded (black spray) the interior. I picked up a 3×6 rubber floor mat from u-line that fits nicely inside.
The trailer had home made fenders that were welded on. Once i removed them, gaping holes were left. I found new fenders at ‘tractor supply’.

Did you know that both Sears and Montgomery Ward companies both sold replacement parts for jeeps and scouts? See the next post for the Sears version of this catalog.

UPDATE: This is back on eBay. A couple new pictures were add, too.
When I first noticed this ebay ad, I was confused about it. It took me some digging to understand that this family out of Entlebuch, Switzerland, once sold jeeps. Then, some members turned to making toy jeeps. Apparently, there are about 50 toys left? They have listed the toys, the website, and photos for sale if I understand correctly.
According to the seller, “Shortly after the war (1945) Family Enzmann imported 60 Jeeps to Entlebuch, where they were rebuilt and sold to the farmers as commercial vehicles. At the weekends my father together with his classmates from university, drove the vehicles from Geneva to Schüpfheim. ( Which always turned into a big party afterwards.) My grandfather organised special events on which the Jeeps were presented to all customers.
Besides the garage my grandfather also owned a cinema and a hotel and he liked to advertise his garage and Jeeps in between the films. After a while the Jeeps were also sold with a closed driver’s cabins due to the very hard winters in Entlebuch.
The images below are from the website that is part of the auction:
And a couple images of the toys:
UPDATE: Sold. Was $5000.
There appears to be some value here.
“1947 Willy CJ2A Jeep, this is a restoration project $1,100 OBO 6 zero five eight 8733 five 6”
http://sd.craigslist.org/cto/3219536356.html
The seller thinks this is a Fire Jeep because of the rear tool boxes.
“Mostly complete. Broken spring hanger, rusted out floor board. Fire package included toolboxes in the rear wheel wells, thicker spring packs and axe holders on the side. Make an awesome rock crawler or rat rod. Trade for welder or?208 691 4 two 7 four”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Either lots of parts or two projects.
“Two FC-170 Jeep Truck projects
Gray truck:
1964 – one of the last FC-170 produced – 1 ton – 4 wheel drive – 3 speed transmission – Dana 20 transfer case
Rebuilt original engine and axles, Frame has been sand blasted and painted.
Cab was sandblasted and primed years ago but will need to be done again. New floor pans and rear window panel included. Windshield, rear window and quarter glass all provided. Doors are included but door glass is missing.
Green truck:
1962 – 1 ton – 4 wheel drive – 3 speed transmission – Dana 18 transfer case
Engine is stuck, axles have been rebuilt
Cab has had some “quick” body work and paint by a previous owner. Looks good from a distance but could use some more work. All glass is in good condition. Front and rear lower cab corners are in excellent condition. Frame has been patched but seems to be strong. Has nice seats and door panels.
Together there are more than enough parts to make one good truck with lots of spare parts.
$2,500 obo\
No pics provided. I’m not sure what’s here.

I ran across this unusually modified FC named Work’N Woody. According to this website, it’s a modified FC that has been a fixture at race tracks since 1978. It even has its own website. You can see a gallery of pictures here. Pretty cool! It must be a great place to watch a race.
Here are a couple pictures from the website:
UPDATE: **SOLD** No price was listed.
This looks beautiful. I searched for other Willys on oldcaronline.com, but the others appear very overpriced to me.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a good look at an FJ-3A brochure. It is 8.5 x 4 Folded , 17 x 8 Unfolded.
