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: Roberto completed his drawing. Click on the link below to see how it progressed.
UPDATE: Bob reports the vehicle arrived safely in Ohio. He verified that the frame is a Ford and the body is well-built.
He reports, “The thing looks pretty solid and seems to be made out of thick steel and very well made. I just can’t imagine some guy in his garage making this thing, but I could be wrong. Someone updated the running gear with a mustang straight 6, auto trans and the mustang differential. You can clearly see where it was column shift originally, and the frame is definitely a 46 ford.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
(01/05/2012) Unclear if it runs.
“1962 Willys Jeep FC-150 for sale at only $3,000. Forward Control Four Wheel Drive. It has small block chevy probably 327. Body in tact with some rust. Great piece after a little TLC. Serial (VIN) # 65548 25587. Call Tracy with Brighton Motorsports (brightonmotorsports.com)”
This looks good.
“Hi and thank you for looking at my auction. I am helping my father list his Willys jeep as he isn’t computer savy, not that I am either:)
He has a 1955 CJ5 Willys jeep. It has a Best Top soft top and doors. Overhead valve engine. Came from a farm in Illinois before my father bought it. Drives out well. Has been sitting in the shed on the farm here for a few years. Starts and runs well. Carburetor might need a rebuild again. I rebuilt it a fews years back but this wonderful ethanol fuel ruins the rubber diphram in this carb. Paint is fair, not flashy but not going to slide off in a fast turn either. Body is nice and not a rust bucket. I can take pics of the floors and inside and under the body. Was always a red Willys. First year of this “new” body style.
Any questions please ask. Always welcome to come and look and drive it. We will help with shipping and can haul or drive it towards you if that helps. Is and has always been inside since my father purchased it and can stay here if needed as long is it is paid for or prior agreement made to do so. Willing to help just ask before the end of the sale! Title is free and clear, no liens or loans on it.
This is a nice old running and driving jeep. It is almost 60 years old and lived it’s life on a farm. It has a super solid body and runs out great and handles like a nice old truck. It does have dings and dents that have been fixed, the paint is as old as I am (35 years), there are chips in the paint and some scatches. It is a super fun go and get a malt type of dependable old vehicle.
This is a $6500.00 jeep not a restored $12,000.00 one so if that is what you want this is not the truck for you. Please come and look at it before you bid or ask questions about with more than a day left, please. It can be driven and I encourage people interested to do just that.”

Since this has a variety of aftermarket parts, including the body, this is in decent shape because it isn’t 70 years old.
“$3500 cash and she’s yours!! don’t bother asking if I will take less cause I wont!
You won’t find one this nice at this price anywhere! Over all she’s in nice shape for a 70 yr old Jeep but she does need a lil work.”

(12/19/2011) This was a column shift, but now a floor shift. I can’t tell if this has the free floating hubs or not.

Needs completion. I have a NY title in my name. I’ve moved to VA and am selling house in NY. Can’t bring everything. The tub alone is worth the price. I have more pictures.

Steve dropped me a note and shared some pictures of his jeeps. Both the flattie and the CJ-7 look great! If you need any help driving them, just let me know 🙂
He writes, “The blue one is a 1978 CJ7 and the Willys is a 1948 CJ2A. I’ve had the CJ7 for 27 years and got the Willys from my dad last year. The Willys has been in the family for 50 years, most of it spent with my late Grandfather in California. When I got the Willys from my dad, it was in rough shape, and I spent about a year fixing it up. I really enjoy driving both, and the Willys gets a lot of attention.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
They don’t want to crush them . . .
“We are very reluctant to crush these gems. We have two Willys Wagons that someone has to want.
$600 ea or a $1000 for the pair.”
This looks like it might be a good price, even though it doesn’t run at the moment. The rear of the body is a little longer than normal.
“1946 Willys Jeep. Original engine and mechanics. Not currently running due to not being used. Has a tow bar that can be attached to the front bumper. Extra parts included such as leaf springs, carb parts, etc.

Speaking of Lego Jeeps, here is a custom one I found on Flickr.
