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: **SOLD** Was $2000.
The rear part of the body is from a CJ-5 or M-38a1.
“’42/’43 Model. Front and rear body are different model but match nearly perfect. Motor runs great (starts easily, does not smoke). Drive train is OK, but shows some wear. Body is rough but no rust. I have title. I have used it as a ranch/hunting vehicle and is perfect for it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,500.
Here’s a fun Jeepster.
“1950 Willys Jeepster, title is a 46. This is a quick little car, that runs great, steers and stops like it should. No frills just a cool little drop top driver. I bought it as a basket case and replaced or rebuilt pretty much the entire car. This car is made to drive, no bull, just you the road and a V8 growl out the back from three inch pipes. You can spend time driving or waxing, if you’re a waxer car show guy, this is not your kind of car. I completed the car three years ago and it is 100% dependable.
DRIVE TRAIN
350 small block Chevy bored .060 over, nice Summit cam train with alloy roller rockers, big 2.02 valve heads with three angle valve job done by local NAPA shop, Offenhourser intake and Edelbrock carb, HEI, vintage Offenhourser valve covers, aluminum pump and large core aluminum radiator, one wire alternator, mini starter, block-hugger headers dump into custom. 2 ½” exhaust back to 3” out the rear. Borg Warner 5 speed trans with 11” hydraulic clutch and S10 Blazer rear end.
SUSPENSION and BRAKES
Power front disc with drum rear, all brake components are new, to include all lines, Rack and pinion steering with modified Willys column, new tires and chrome wheels.
BODY & INTERIOR
New top, including wood bows, new side curtains, new upholstery, custom engine turned stainless instrument panel with new gauges and switches, new wiring harness, custom welded in floor pans, four seat belts.
I have a new project, and just too many cars, this one has to go. Call Dave @ 607-527-8847 for more info”
This was bought. Interestingly enough, it’s registered as a CJ-2L. You can learn more about it here.
So, get it while it lasts and then drop ewillys a donation for finding this extremely rare vehicle for you!

There’s was another one of these for sale on eWillys. It was priced at $125.
“Just trying to find a local interested party in a Willys Jeep de-icer defogger unit. This was made by the Fulton Company. It was found in my grandfathers old stuff.”
An article in the Green Bay Press-Gazette on November 18, 1962, warned readers not to be surprised if they were flagged down at a Green Bay & Western (GBW) railroad crossing by a jeep. The article goes on to describe that GBW bought 2 1962 FCs for use on their railroad, some of the Jeep’s features, and how they would be used. The history of these FCs (shown below) and the GBW in general can be found at the Green Bay & Western Lines website.
One image below appears to be a rough scan showing the two FC-170s at the time of purchase. I’ve added a link to the 2nd photo which shows the FC awaiting restoration as of 2005 (a note under the image asked that it not be reproduced without permission).
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500. I dropped by to see this old Willys. I’ve added some pics below.
One great thing this jeep has is a PTO with an old chain driven winch. It’s held on by a flat sheet of steel that acts as a bumper. There’s been quite a few mods to the front of the frame, including patches on both sides of the front of the frame. This jeep started instantly with a little help from the choke.
The windshield frame and glass looks like it’s from an MB, as it looks shorter than the standard CJ-2A windshield and has no willys stamp. The body is a little rough and probably worth passing over with a magnet.
It’s got full floating hubs on the back. It also has some great meaty, yet small, tires.
(05/25/09) “46′ CJ2A Jeep all original parts. Only serious inquiries please! Can email pics.”
Brian ran across the seller of this truck while in town. Brian reports that “The paint is not that good. The painter did not paint the engine compartment and so on/lots of mistakes in it. The stake bed is nice, but could use refinishing. Frame looks good.”

Here’s a parts jeep.
“rolling chassis. no running gear but has axles. has vin tags and title. Thanks Brian”
I can’t tell if this is an early CJ-2A body with the back patched or a MB body.

After some searching, I found a movie trailer that shows a short clip of the Police Wagon (shown below). You can see the entire trailer from this 2008 movie here.
“1960 willys jeep for sale. great condition. 4×4. Flathead Hurricane 6 original motor, ~100,000 miles. Was in the movie, “A Plumm Summer.” Painted like a sheriff vehicle. runs great, and always starts, may need to have the piston rings replaces, but all the seals were just redone. cheep to insure, and a great vehicle, some custom work was done to the back seats to turn them into side benches. this jeep has all original parts, except for 1 missing rear seat, but i have the replacement in storage.”
