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 .
This looks great, but note it has a custom extended bed and a protrusion of some sort near the windshield on both sides of the body.

(08/09/2010) Neither Brett nor I can figure out what those handles on the hood do. This looks very restorable.

(03/23/2010) It should run once the carb is cleaned.
“This is an incredable find! This FC150 is a wide track 79″ wheelbase with all the hard to find parts…gas tank, tail gate, windshield, original seats, exterior cab lights. Has a new battery. The engine is a 1963 Ford 170 straight 6 and turns over freely. Once the carburator is cleaned, it should fire right up. ”

UPDATE: Was $3750. **SOLD**
This was listed almost 2 years ago at $5000. It is now at $3750. The body has been replaced with a fabricated body, so I’m not sure how accurate the body is.
“Offered is my 1947 Willys CJ2A Project.

New Wiring throughout

Claus reports that he and some friends enjoyed a short vacation recently and has some pics to share with us!
Claus writes, “We have finally done a short weekend trip up the West Coast of SA. Nothing hectic just 6 jeeps and 3 trailers going on a stroll. The route all together was about 220km, but it was just fun enjoy the ride and in the evening sitting around a camp fire and enjoying all jeep talk. Just therapeutic for the owners”
I asked Claus about the unusual stonework for the fireplace. He informed me that, “The fireplace is built like that so it allows many people to “braai”. In the centre you make the big fire and then people can sit around it and scrape the hot coals from the centre out to the sides where you can braai or bbq your meat. So you always have a big fire in the middle so it continuously burns and provides hot coals. They don’t all look like that here. The camp site serves 6 tents so you can just all gather around one fireplace and be social.” Learn about Braai here.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4250.
There are a variety of updates to this.
“This is a super Custom Willys 1946 Jeep. Ford Cobra motor under the hood! Military style fold down windshield. Decent top. Minor rust, Plenty of dirt, Does not currently run. Tranny seal and carb issues. Most everything is there! Serious fun. Also, advertised on Ebay with lots of pics!!!”
