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 .
“Looking for a good rear axle for my 47 Willys CJ2A. It’s a Dana-Spicer Model 41 with 5.38 gear ratio. I would also consider an entire vehicle for parts if price is right. Please email with info. Thanks.”

(10/03/2011) It’s a lot of parts, but quite a drive for most of us.
“1 – CJ-2a & 1 – CJ-3a jeep with extra parts including 7 engines, 4 trans/trans, 4 axles, seats, & misc. One engine professionally rebuilt and ready for installation.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $7778. Seller wants to sell by 5/15.
I might have had these pics on the wrong post … anyway, here’s the right pics on the right post.
“Restored 5 years ago 750 miles. looks good, drives well-been offered Audis and Sailboats-not adverse to trades, but a simple sale is best-this Jeep is now 64 years old, top speed is about 50mph, cruises 45mph-standard with the exception of 12 volt electrics and wheels”

These pictures could be straight out of a scenic shot from the Pacific Northwest, but instead were taken at the annual October Barfrosttreffet in Norway. Even is part of a club called the Flatfender Fellows and shared these wonderful pictures. This area shown below is about an hour north of Oslo.
UPDATE: From both emails I received and comments below, the consensus seems to be that the framework was built for pushing branches away, also called limb risers. As Brett suggested, I googled ‘tree limb risers’ and found something similar at a hummer site.
Gary’s father shot this photo around 1959 on the island of Tinian, which is part of the Northern Mariana Islands. He was wondering if anyone knows how the front rack was used?
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,000.
This looks like a very nice flattie. This appears to have a VEC body given the tool indents.

It turns over, but doesn’t start. It has three dash plates.
“Bought in 1995 for plowing driveway, but Stopped using a few years ago. Now it will turn over briefly, but does not start. The brakes do not work and there is no master cylinder. No seats. Definite fixer upper. Transmission worked well when it was running. Has an 8 volt battery, with 8 volt plug in charger. A couple tires do not hold air. Uses a plastic 5 gallon can for fuel tank. No seats. Could use some TLC! Mileage is estimated”
Looks very nice. Jeespterjim is selling this one.
“This is a 1950 Jeepster that runs and drives great. It was in the same family for 40 years. It’s a nice daily driver at an affordable price. The engine has good compression (105 on all cylinders) and was probably rebuilt not long ago. The top and interior are nice and the chrome is very nice. It has an older paint job, that is not perfect. It has the same typical rust issues that most Jeepsters have, but would not be a difficult restoration. You could drive it and fix it up as you go, or just enjoy it the way it is.

(05/08/2012) I saw early pictures of this project. Bryan’s done a good job bringing it back to life.
“What you are looking at is an original restored 1945 WWII Ford GPW Jeep. These have become quite rare. Nearly all parts are “F marked” from the factory all the way down to almost every bolt! This Jeep is nearly complete from top to bottom and is mainly all original. All that you see on the Jeep goes with the Jeep. The body is in very good condition. The front floor has been repaired along with all the hat channels. The rear floor was replaced. The bottom of the floor and top of the floor has been coated in bed liner to protect the metal from future elements. The transmission Is the original T84. For a 67 year old vehicle, this Jeep looks great and is ready for you to hop in a go. Its ready for that around town drive or that WWII reenactment. The engine runs perfectly with great oil pressure and no smoke and is an original WWII engine top to bottom. The brakes have been reworked, and all the electrical replaced including the gauges. The tires are new 600-16 6 ply military NDT tires; thats the original style from the factory. The data tags and frame are number matching! The Jeep has a clear title! Sold as is.

Mark has this over at jeeptruck.com.
“I am selling my 1961 Jeep FC170.
Engine: L226 Flat Head 6 cylinder, re-gasket and bearings in 2006
Trans: T98A 4-speed, new Kevlar clutch in 2006
Dana 18 T-case rebuilt in 2006
Dana 44 closed knuckle front diff 4:88 ratio
Dana 53 Rear diff 4:88 ratio
Vacuum assist brakes
Wood stake bed with removable sides and ends
Awesome Marine grade chrome and stainless exhaust stacks that are for real and working
In 2005 -2006 this Jeep went through an engine rebuild, new upgrade wiring, t-case rebuild, front differential knuckle seals, bearings, Rancho shocks. I have not done any restoration to the body, it is the same as I acquired it.
A little history of this truck: previous owner purchased it at an FBI auction in Florida. It had 7″ of lift on it. They brought it back to Toledo, Ohio where it sat behind a building getting rocks thrown at it, where we bought it. I got it running within 3 days with carb rebuild but only on 5 cylinders. Took out the scary lift kit and engine the next winter and went through it along with the transfer case and clutch. The wiring was mouse eaten in places so a total rewire was in order. Then came brake lines, M/Cylinder, fuel lines (3/8″ stainless), front knuckle seals and wheel bearing pack. Amsoil 80w90 in all trans, t-case, front and rear diffs.
It’s not all in original form or function, some improvements have been made to the electrical and mechanicals. but it is a driver and head turner whenever I blow the dust off it here in Toledo. I’ve had it to the GM Powertrain Park N Shine show many times and have been blessed to meet a few of the people that worked at Jeep that remember working the assembly line building them, just to see the expression on their faces to see one again. I always let them or the young ones sit in it.

I hope someone decides to restore this one. It looks to solid to turn into a rock crawler.

This sounds like it has had lots of work done. It might be a solid runner. It appears to have been changed to a single lever transfercase.

Runs and drives, but needs polish at the very least. Looks like a good foundation for a restoration.

With some paint and polish (and a different front bumper), this might look pretty nice.
