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: Check out the pics on thefcconnection site.
Steve reports on the Ouray 4th of July Festival. Learn more at the Forward Forum. See all the pictures here.
“Here is Craig and Jason’s big day in Ouray (You-ray), Colorado. It’s the mountain town’s signature event of the year, The Fourth Of July. They asked Craig to bring his restored San Juan Mountain Tour Truck to join in their parade.
Jason found one of the other original tour Jeep Forward Control trucks and surprised them with twins. He just finished the restoration just last week and headed strait for Ouray. Jason’s truck has the yellow signs that say, “Think.”
This links you to the Town’s website describing their 4th of July Festivities. Here are photos of the Two coolest FC trucks ever restored joining their parade. The red FC trucks came from the states of Missouri and Texas to join the reunion in Colorado. They even went on a trail ride across the old routes where the trucks carried tourists through the beautiful San Juan Mountains of Southern Colorado. What a cool experience; I wish I could have been there.”
There might be value here. No pics posted.

“Very good working Willys jeep. Original F134 engine was overhauled and runs strong. mechanically sound. Body has very little rust and no bondo repairs. Also listing a 1964 CJ5 and a 1946 CJ2A.”
Here’s a cool truck listed over at jeeptruck.com. The price is a bit up there though.
“1955 Willys truck and trailer. Beautiful piece of collection. Original, was used as firetruck in a small village in Quebec, Canada. Trailer comes with hoses and water pump (500 gallon/minute). It has skis for winter. One of a kind. It works still very well. Asking $35,000 I have pictures for it”

“it is a 1953 willys jeep it runs very good 4×4 works body is in very good shape needs some work call me at 352 535 5199 ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800
The seller claims this is a 1962 Maverick, but I understand they were only produced in 1960? Glenn believes this may just be an old inventory item that was sold the next year. He also notes the side chrome is very hard to find. It may be worth a closer look.
“This is a rare “maverick” edition. I bought it to restore but have too many projects. It does need total restoration but all parts and body panels available. It does run but smokes. Needs brake work but emergency brake works. 6cyl 3spd and its 2wd.”
UPDATE: Still Available

“Mostly orginal jeep in need of some work. The floors need replaced or fixed and the windshield chanel is rusty, but this jeep is worth fixing. It has a v6 buick engine which has 18,000 orginal miles. I strongly believe the miles are correct because i purchased it off the orginal owner. The gas tank has rust in it so u may be able to flush it or have to replace it don’t know. It’s four wheel drive an i thing it would be a blast to drive if fixed up. I just flat out have way to many projects on my hads, an it will be years before i reach this one thats why im selling. you can here the engine run briefly before it runs out of gas. Sorry about the last posting my computer went down right after i posted it. I want so of my money back out of it so i could say 1,500 or 1,200 and go down. But i just want to cut to the chase 1,000 obo This jeep is not driveable as of right now. It will need gone over. Please call only it you are serious thanks bill 440-339-4154”

See an example of the full ad here.

Only $1500? That almost seems to good to be true, but I think this is real.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This appears to be a rolling chassis and a pile of parts that isn’t quite a rolling chassis.

There appears to be value here. It looks like it will make a good project.
“For sale 1951 Willys CJ3A Jeep project to restore. Very complete late flatfender. Body has plenty of rust.

This appears pretty solid. This might make a good restoration project.
“1946 CJ2A Willys jeep. Original drive train, runs, drives, and looks good, newer tires, solid body.”
No body.
“I have a willys Jeep CJ2A made in 1946. This is a project that I do not have the time for any more. There is no BODY… It was rusted out and I got rid of it. I did keep the two front fenders, hood and wind shield. The engine ran when I brought it home two years ago. I have a title and all the data plates. Currently the jeep is not running. You will need to trailer it home. I have many parts in buckets. This is definitely a project or a parts jeep. The frame is in good shape and looks to be a converted military frame done at the factory. Has all original wheels. I will throw in a manual with all parts list, and diagrams. No Seats, Gas tank, etc… Remember this jeep is 65 years old. These are getting hard to find and this is a great deal for parts. Send an Email or text to 317 two8nine 09one0 Thanks!”
