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 appears to have a MB body, but it’s been modified: A tailgate added and steps changed.

(08/03/2010) The engine runs — looks like a good price.
“1959 Willys jeep good condition ,cracked windshield but I have another wind shield to replace it with, Hard top and doors ( Aluminum ), a soft top came with Jeep when I bought it. Just started to sand and clean old paint and remove body tub for restore but like so many other things life got in the way. There are no rusted through areas and almost no surface rust . I just do not have enough time in the day to do everything . So, if your looking for a nice restore project here it is . The engine runs but has some smoke . I towed it home no unwanted noises or problems but I’m just starting a complete restore on it, not sure whats ahead . I know the value of this Jeep and the possibilities it holds. I’m willing to Barter or sell for cash Send me an e-mail and lets talk. Put ” 1959 ” in the subject in the line or the e-mail will be DELETED……….. THANK YOU”

(07/20/2010) “one of the badest jeep stands next to the best in america… not a scratch… 350 chev.. all brand new… flawless in every way”
The 2nd Annual Northwest FC Get Together was this past weekend in Olympia. Josue was kind enough to forward some images from the event and give his take on it.
Josue writes, “Last weekend was the first opportunity I have had to visit a Jeep get-together. It wasn’t a huge turnout but it was definitely worth visiting. The meet-up was in Olympia, WA and it was specifically for Forward Control Jeeps. This was the second year and only about 8 showed up, although I’m sure it will get bigger with time. It was fun talking to a few people and seeing a couple of them run.” Thanks Josue!
Colin’s friend Al has got a nice collection of Willys. Colin forwarded a few pics of Al’s jeeps with some notes. Nice looking vehicles Al!
Colin writes, “I attached a photo of a CJ2A [al toy] that I did for a buddy of mine sitting on the hood of his August-built 1945 CJ2A with column shift, rebuilt with a lot of the leftover MB stuff that Willys used to get the first CJs on the road.
Al also has a 47 2WD wagon, a 49 Willys truck and a 49 Jeepster that is undergoing a repowering with a 55 Chrysler 331 Hemi, 727 trans, Mustang II front suspension and 56 Corvette rear end. Aside from body work and paint, Al does all the work himself and does an excellent job. The shot of the wagon with whitewall tires is the same wagon. Amazing what a set of wide whites will do for a car.”
UPDQTE: **SOLD** Was $18,500.
I’ve spent a good chunk of time in Watsonville. I built a ballet studio there. I actually danced in a Nut Cracker Ballet during that period, too. That was for ex-wife #2. Hmmm … Let’s talk about the truck instead …. Here’s a beautiful truck. Check out the bumper in the last pic.
“47 Willys Pickup; 327; 4 Speed; 4 inch chopped top; 6 inch extended cab; power steering; new upholstery; sprayed on bedliner; driven 200 miles since completionk; $18,500 OBO;”

“2 FlatFender Willys Jeeps…clear titles..both run and drive ok..both in damn decent shape…$4000 each”
It runs (though smokes). It plows. Looks like a good price.
“1964 CJ-5 Jeep this Jeep has been used only to plow a drive way for the last 20 years. It runs but smokes now,I think it’s the valve seals. It starts right up and runs great. The break lines are rotted out. I have a new master cylinder and rebuild kits for the wheels cylinders and some new brake hoses. I replaced the generator last year with a new GM alternator. The floors need work they were patched already. The frame seems to be in good shape I didn’t see any rot. The body has some rot and rust.The plow pump was just replaced with a newer Meyers pump which works great just needs to be wired. I have the controls and lights for the plow. This is a project I didn’t have time for. Would be a great project for someone or good for parts. I don’t have any paper work on it. I could provide a bill of sale. You can get a title from one of the online companies. The guy who had it before me owned it for 20 years. Call Tom @ 917-364-2605 Please call between 9am-10pm.The price is $750.00 CASH ONLY or let me know what you have to trade! The plow pump and lights alone are worth $600.00 and no I won’t sell the just the plow pump. I won’t ship you must have it towed home! Don’t text me I will only take phone calls.”

This appears in good shape. Unclear if it runs.
“1950 Willys Jeepster, Serial # 13651, $4950, Needs Restored.”
http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/1928034456.html
This is beautiful.
“Restored 1951 Willys Jeep Station Wagon for sale; runs and drives excellent. The Hurricane OHV 6 cylinder engine was overhauled several years ago (at time of restoration) but has less than 500 miles on it; it was rebuilt by a local machine shop (Osgood’s) for roughly $4,000 (have receipts). The clutch / pressure plate, the brake cylinders, shocks, king-pins, all the glass (Davis Glass), carpet, upholstery, and headliner were replaced at the time of the engine rebuild. The paint job and re-plating of the chrome a short time later; price: $12,995. This vehicle has been stored in a garage for over a decade; it has very few minor flaws. Please call 541-926-8131.”

This looks like a good price. It seems to lean to the right?
“1946 Willys Jeep Trailer, very good condition.”
http://janesville.craigslist.org/cto/1928823311.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2100.
I wonder why this is sporting a Dana 23-2 rear end? The Dana 23-2 was used on the MBs/GPWs and early ’46. Next, the Dana 41 was used until the Late 1950 CJ-3As when the Dana 44 was installed. As best I can tell, all the M-38s used a Dana 44.
“Rare Korean War military Jeep. Good body; solid floors, has some rust on sides but easily repairable. Swapped in Chevy 350, stock, runs good. Comes with Advance Adapters Small Block Chevy to original Jeep T-90 transmission assembly($500 new), good transmission and good Transfer case, Dana 25 front axle, Dana 23-2 rear axle, 15 inch wheels with tires that are worn out. I will sell for $2,100 negotiable.”
For $25k, I’d hope for at least a few markings …

There might be some value here. The rollcage looks pretty good.
“Here is a 52 willys cj3a jeep. Have good windshield frame. The frame is solid . The body is shot. Have lots of parts if you need. The title and vin plate is good and is in my name.”

“
1957 Jeep FC 150. no title. Disassembled. $2500 obo. A great project for someone with the time….These are Rare…there were only a few of them made.”
After reading the “Surviving a Nuclear Blast“, Rich forwarded this Civil Defense Video hosted at archive.org. At the 2:45 mark, you’ll see the red wagon below. I think it would be interesting to do a restoration like this. There’s a few other jeeps in the video as well, though no close up shots like this one.
Mathew spotted this. Available for sale in Monroe Center, Il, this unusual piece of Willys history is something I’d never seen. After some research, I discovered another one of these that sold for $4000 a couple years ago, though it was powered by a ford 2.3 liter engine.
