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 .
No description, but I think the picture says it all. Looks good.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
I’ve seen lots of WW2 jeeps being loaded, but not a CJ-3A.

UPDATE: Lester’s comment provides some good details on identifying this as a GPW Frame.
This is very much a project still.

This runs and drives. The square-edged gas tank suggests this might be an early ’42.

It runs. According the Ad title this was used by the Navy; I wonder if it includes a Navy plate of some type.
“This is a mostly original military jeep. looks like a CJ-5. It runs. needs a little brake work to drive. Body is really rough. it would make a great resto project or drive as is. Or trick it out. great project jeep. comes with a tow bar.”

“1961 4×4 Jeep FC-170 flatbed truck parts. It was last used in 1990.Original equipment, 226 six cylinder with 3 speed and Dana 18 transfer case, the cab is over 50 years old, it needs some body work, fortunately it is not rusted out beyond repair, because it was previously painted with house paint. It also needs some flat glass but the windshield is good. It has a rolling chassis, with steering. It does not run, it does not have seats, no radiator, no carburator, or no aircleaner.
It has a matching AZ title. I can sell the rest of what is left, for $1100.
I also have a really nice flat bed with all of the original mounting braces for the same type FC Jeep vehicle that I am selling separately for $300. ”

Craig managed to snag some vintage concept Commuter FC photos off of eBay recently. He’s organized and posted them at http://thefcconnection.com/the_commuter.htm along with a brief history. The quality of these photos are excellent and could provide clues to recreating one of these, should someone have the money, time, and energy to tackle the project. The whereabouts of the three concept vehicles produced are unclear.
Here’s an image of one of prototype #2:
Sebastian has been busily exploring Pennsylvania in his CJ-3B. Last Sunday morning he had breakfast with his wife and a friend in a park. I was reminded of George Seurat’s famous painting, Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. Inspired, I attempted to create a version of that using Sebastian’s photo, but I believe it was a failure as you can see below. You can view the real version of this photo and more at his website.
He writes, “We did a breakfast picnic in a park last sunday with my wife Ana and a friend. During the picnic I realized that this was getting very close to a part of your book when you had breakfast in a park with “Virginia”, and you were even wearing an orange shirt!, haha, I hope that is were the similarities end. Anyway, it was a great day, and beautiful to take the willys out for this.”
Dexter spotted this 1949 issue of Popular Science at a local swap meet the other day. A reader of the magazine sent in an idea for waterproofing a jeep for only $.75. Not a bad price. Probably wouldn’t cost much more today. Note that it was in 1949 that the CJ-3A came out with a mini gutter to distribute water similar to the role the weather stripping hint accomplishes. I still have one of those gutters if anyone needs it.
And some other neat hints that aren’t jeep related
Looks like a good price for all of them.

I just can’t imagine someone thought the mods to this were a good idea. However, there appears to be some parts value at the very least. It looks to have all three data plates.
“SOLID BODY NEEDS MOTOR. NO GLASS, GREAT JEEP FOR A RERSTORE. PLEASE SAVE THIS JEEP. MAY HAVE TITLE NOT SURE AT THIS TIME. ”
This looks like a good price based on the pics. And, if it runs, it’s a really good price.

This is worth a closer look. It has a nicely aged patina to it. As long as it runs and drives, I’m not sure I’d want to do much more to it.
