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: Was $12,995. **SOLD**
“Super clean restored with original parts (except for wheels and tires). Detailed “Hurricane 6” flat head motor with oil bath airfilter, in-line oil filter. 4 wheel drive with high and low ranges, and Warn overdrive. All new glass, hidden stereo/cd player, new interior. Garage kept for over 15 years. Not perfect but close. Interesting trades considered. “
Given the windshield appears in good shape, I’d say this is a good price for this parts jeep.
‘rebuilt carb, new head gasket, needs distributer and should run. the tub is pretty rusty but other than that it is pretty decent for use off road or parts. Might consider partial trade for a stick welder, oxy-fuel torch or other welding equipment. “
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
“1952 Willys Jeep M-38 Buick 231, HEI Ignition, New flowkooler Water pump, GM 14 amp alternator, TH400 auto & Dana 20 out of Wagoneer, Centered Dana 44 rear, Dana 30 front Full rollcage and harnesses. Rollcage is now painted olive drab along with back tube bumper and star on hood. Also now has 31×10.5 tires on black spoke wheels.”
Yeah, it’s been chopped a bit in the rear end, but it looks like there’s some reasonable parts there (nice full cage, tires and rims). I’m sure it would be a fun little runabout vehicle.
“First $1800 in cash takes it! Turn key and go 4 wheeling today! Updates on this vehicle are: Tilt wheel and power steering. 2″ suspension lift. 4 new large shocks- Over $1,000 invested in wheels, tires, and brakes. This jeep is low geared for desert fun. It’s really not for the road because of the low gears. It has a factory air compressor from the military and an air hose line to the bumper for filling up tires if you have to let the air out. New muffler and tail pipe. High back bucket seats with 4 point harnesses. Every thing works, lights, brakes, and spot lights. Rebuilt carb and 4cyl. motor with 4 spd trans.

Brian forwarded this sweet treat to us. This is a Willys Fleet Van.
“1966 ice cream truck / willys jeep fleetvan. Right hand drive, 4cyl engine, auto trans, commercial glass slide top freezer, candy rack, charlie brown peanuts theme graphics, music player, up to date safety swingout & signs, all lights & blinkers operate, a/c unit, generator rack on rear bumper “generator not included” very clean little “starter” ice cream truck. $4,800 obo or trade for ??? Will return emails promptly, if your looking at this ad the ice cream van is still available.”
UPDATE: The price had dropped to $2500. It includes an OD. **STATUS UNKNOWN”
1952 Willys CJ3A. Flat Head 4 Cyl. 3 Spd Manual Transmission with Overdrive. In great shape, runs good. Needs voltage regulator. Runs off 12v generator system. “
Despite what the seller writes, it looks like there’s more than a little rust on this body. But, if the rust isn’t too bad, then this might be a decent price.
“I am selling a 1950 Willys CJ3 for my father. He bought it and did a little work to it but doesnt have the time to restore it(or sell it). It has a clear KY title. The jeep is located in Stearns, Ky, 42647. The Good: runs, drives, brakes work(enough anyway), new alternator, new battery, replaced radiator, new exhaust from the manifold back, tow bar, extra carburator, very little rust(for a 59 year old jeep). The Bad: carburator floods sometimes when you first start it(once its going it goes though), brakes need work(but they will stop you). The Ugly: windshield cracked, paint very rough, hood patched(somebody had a scoop on it), mismatched seats. I am asking $1400.00 O.B.O. “
There’s no text included with this unique truck, except for “1975 Willys”.

UPDATE: According to John, Mike got these home successfully. Apparently the VEC ’45 (#10910) is complete enough that it might be possible to get it running. For only $500 (plus gas), that’s a steal! See John’s comment below …
Jim forwarded me this great story of Harry, who is from Denmark. Thanks for sharing Jim and Best of Luck Harry! Here’s Jim’s remarks:
“I sold this 51 M38/CJ3A a few months ago on eBay to a very animated guy in Denmark named Harry. He showed up here in Durango a week ago to pick it up, saying he wanted to drive it to Dallas Texas (1000 miles!) and see a little of the country side. He turned out to be a really great guy; So, I invited him to stay here at the house and prep the jeep for the trip. We rode Harleys on a 300 mile loop through the Colorado mountains, ate, drank, laughed, learned some German and Danish, drank his home made honey wine, smoked a huge brisket for 16 hours, and drank rum around the bonfire at night swapping stories. After a couple days of lube, oil changes, collecting spare parts, tuning, etc, he jumped in last Friday and drove a nearly 60 year old, un-restored, stock, Willys jeep at 45 mph all the way to Dallas Texas in 3 days. I talked to him this morning. He said it ran great, the only failures being a coil and a starter solenoid. That’s pretty minor considering what could have gone wrong. He said he got terribly bored crossing the New Mexico desert, so he yelled at cows in Danish as he passed just for entertainment. Harry my new friend, I salute you, you are nuts, you are crazy, you are my kind of people, my hat is off to you!”
There’s some mixed and matched parts here. I believe that’s a CJ-3B windshield. I’m not entirely sure what the body is.

Here’s a very nice FC-150. Cool color too.
“Selling: 1957 Jeep Willys FC150 4X4, 4 Cylinder Hurricane Motor, 3 Speed Trans. Lock-out hubs, New tires & wheels. Mileage is Exempt. It has new paint, reupholstered seats. We do not know a lot about this unit. We grabbed it as a “barn find”, and decided to grab it and make it look unique. This Jeep runs great and has top-end speed of approx. 45 MPH. It was formerly olive green when purchased and now it is newly painted Tangerine Orange and Studebaker Beige. We can only tell you that this was a local buy in PA, and we can provide some history of its origin and its travels. This is a very rare vehicle and is in GREAT Condition. More pictures available upon request. Jeep lovers start your bidding! ”
David sent us a few pics of his 1956 Wagon next to his 1951 Cj-3A. David notes that it “still has the 226 flat head and is still 6V.” Very nice! Thanks Dave!
It’s a good looking GPW.
“Originally purchased privately in January of 1983 in Heightstown, New Jersey. Has been garage kept since purchase, and believed to have been prior to also. It was primarily used for parades, re-enactments and static displays. Entire body and interior is original, including seat covers, ID plates, and windshield. Body was stripped down and repainted. Some additional body work and mechanical work required to get into show condition. Still has 6 volt system, may need new wiring harness. Generator rebuilt in late 1980’s. Motor rebuilt at time of purchase. Shimmy in front end when driven and small stone chip in driver’s side of windshield.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
These tow trucks don’t come up for sale everyday. That said, it’s a bit rough.
“This is a nice FC170 (FC-170) forward control Willy’s Jeep tow truck. As you can see, the truck is a total restoration project, but being that it is so rare, it would be well worth the investment. It has the original Canfield tow truck equipment minus the sling and A-frame off rear bumper. Has the original motor, transmission, and axles. The transfer case needs repair. Has no front drive shaft. The FC originally came equipped with the deluxe cab option. Also suspect that it may have the severe service option but can’t be sure. More photos can be seen here. The vehicle is located in Woodford, Vermont and will need to be picked up. No shipping or tranportation will be provided. There is no title, but bill of sale will be provided.”
This is one of the nicest M-170s I’ve seen. It’s not museum perfect, but that adds some nice character.
“This Jeep is in great condition, it will still start right up every time and runs excellently. This has been very well taken care of and is quite rare. My grandfather served as a Lt. Colonel in WWII and beyond. He purchsed this Jeep from the Army after his retirement and restored it for me. It is a mechanical masterpiece, they don’t make them like this anymore. Nothing gives me more pleasure than cranking up this piece of authentic United States military history and driving back in time. This vehicle is really great and I hate to part with it. I am willing to let it go for less than it is valued because of financial circumstances….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“1947 Willys Jeep (eats early broncos on any 4×4 course LOL). Powerful cammed 305 SBC with dual exhaust (30,000 on engine). Original Warn overdrive with existing drivetrain. Front lock-outs with big 11×2 inch brake upgrade. Runs excellent. Jeep was from California so the body is very good. Entire jeep needs some tlc in all areas to be extra nice. New master cylinder included, but not installed. Also included in sale is 2 brand new front buckets.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1950.
This is unusual.
“A unique hydraulic dump body jeep conversion, also comes equipped with a 6′ plow blade. New shocks and master cylinder. Has NYS registration. Please email with a phone number I can contact you with. Thanks for looking.”
This looks like a parts jeep. It looks like it’s been sitting a while. Note the hubs appear to be warn hubs. Maybe there’s some other updates as well.
“This is a willys jeep 4×4 the year is between a 48-53. It has the original 4cylinder flathead motor, high/low transfer case. It would be great for restoring or using it for hunting. I am posting this for my uncle so if you have any questions email me and I will ask him and email you back. I have seen this run and drive. This does not have a title.”
UPDATE: Was $2500. **SOLD**
This is a project that’s a bit expensive for a project.
“1949 Willys CJ3A with 327 Corvette engine – $3,000. This Flatfender will make a great project vehicle! The 1968 Corvette 327 engine (Holly 4 barrel) is not running and probably needs a rebuild. Includes Bikini Top and parts for a full roll cage. The tire sidewalls are cracked so bring your trailer.”
I’ve not heard of an MVD? It does appear to be an MB body. The story behind the purchase is a bit odd. He tried to convince his parents he didn’t want it, and just wanted to sell it, but has done a bunch of work on it? hmmmm…..
“… Well, after weeks of trying to convince my parents that I do not want this thing, here it is up for sale to you. I will tell you what I know about the vehicle. Having personally worked on it, the Jeep runs very well, solid engine and drive train, four wheel drive works, all electrical items, except the fuel gauge. The fuel gauge needs the sensor in the tank, the actual gauge is fine. The outside paint actually looks good, orange in color. The soft top is showing some significant age, windows are whiting….”
I thought this picture was pretty unusual. Surf over to the FC Connection website to learn more about the Rolligon, a vehicle based roughly on the FC-170.
