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 .
Joe-in-Mesa’s friend Keith shared pics of this Hawaii-Style looking jeep. Keith is willing to sell it, but also wants to learn more about it.
To me, it looks like something someone brought to the US Mainland from Hawaii. You can compare this to the others we have documented here: http://www.ewillys.com/tag/hawaii-body/
If you have interest in it, feel free to email me and I’ll pass along Kieth’s info: d@deilers.com.
Keith Mette showed off his new FC dashboard on Facebook. It’s a bit of artistry that I could never build. My biggest concern would be working on things behind the dash (albeit an issue with many vehicles).
This nice looking CJ-5 was spotted by Matt. It is currently pending (Sunday afternoon). It includes some rare Thor Lectro-Matic hubs along with a great dash tag and vintage switch.
“Selling my very nice 1961 CJ5
with 1957 Corvette 283 with mild cam gives a nice rumble without being too loud. Runs great. 4WD with electric lockout hubs, PTO driven front winch, spotlight, AM radio, front seat belts, heater, defroster, rare ventilating windshield, full top with zip out windows and removable doors all in good shape, 2” receiver hitch with electric trailer brake control on steering column, 5 matching new or like new tires dated 03/19, vacuum assisted brakes unit operates like power brakes, new dual exhaust from manifolds to rear, drives straight down the road and gets alot of attention and thumbs up.
3 speed 4wd in hi/lo and 427 axle ratio. 1” spacers behind wheels to give it a little wider track. Will cruise 60mph on highway, never had it faster because I’m old enough to know better.
Wheel covers shown were sold and currently has white wheels. Vehicle is in Omaha, Ne. Clean title in my name.
Only surface rust underneath.”
This was priced higher. It’s got a nice looking Kelly Bonanza series hardtop.

“Running and driving and stopping sale or trade ”
Gary shared this FC Stakebed model for sale. It’s missing the tailgate, hubcap, and part of the windshield. Maybe a good price could be had on this.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/938858907932530
“This is a nice smaller size collectible in played condition. Missing one hubcap, tailgate, and part of the windshield. I have seen these referenced as friction cars. It does make a winding sound when pushed on the floor, but doesn’t “take off” (if that’s what it’s supposed to do).”
The seller also has a CJ-5 for sale for $6000 or both for $10,000. Note that the 3B has the cowl side vent, suggesting the body is later than 53.

“69 CJ5 and 53 CJ3B Both run, both need battery but will start with jump start. Asking $6000 a piece or 10,000 for both. Need both gone do to health reasons. Have titles in hand”

TJ shared this wagon. It looks like it may have some useful parts if nothing else.

“1951 Willys wagon. Set up for SBC. Doesn’t run. Can throw in a 305 SBC, for additions $. I believe most of the parts are there to get it running. I do have a current Montana title. Located in Seeley Lake”
This might be worth a look. It is supposed to run.

“I am selling this 1967 CJ-5 (Willys Jeep) My plan was to purchase this and fix it up as a hunting jeep. However, I am not a mechanic and do not have the time to fix it up.

(07/03/2023) It’s a project with a 283/t90 combo and 2 225 Buick V6s, along with an SM420.

Note the reversed springs on this. It might be a late 1956 model.

UPDATE: I’ve updated the information on this. John’s looking for someone who appreciate this pretty stock M-38A1 that John uses on a daily basis. It’s named “JW” for his uncle JW, who taught John how to drive in an MB many years ago.
You can contact John directly via email at John_cooper67 @ yahoo.com (remove the spaces from around the @) or phone him at 870 688 1775.
“This has been my “daily driver since 2014. Everything works. $14,000 or reasonable offer.
It includes two tops (a modern Bestop and a canvas summer top) and tire chains.
It still has an F-head.
Everything is original.
After it’s military service, the jeep was painted white and used as a civil defense vehicle, Then, it was painted olive drab and used as a prop in the movie Selma. I purchased it after that.”
UPDATE: I’ve added the updated scans. This is actually a nicely illustrated brochure. I don’t think my scans really captured the color.
Here’s a brochure I’ve never seen that I just purchased on eBay. My guess is it a late 1940s brochure. I’ll update it with better pics when it arrives.
Neither jeep has front frame horns, so it’s not clear exactly what years these are. Both appear to be militarized CJ-2As or CJ-3As in very good shape.

It’s curious this CJ-3B has an aftermarket body that includes a battery box in the cowl. Thanks to John for sharing.

Gary shared this running CJ-2A (includes video of engine running).
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1565661937617181/
All original, CJ 2A with the iconic Go Devil engine. This little Willys has all original drivetrain. It runs great! Starts, steers and stops as it should. New clutch. New gas tank, new fuel pump, and rebuilt carburetor.  New tires on some sweet vintage deep dish wheels. Clean Colorado title in hand. We bought a side-by-side for my wife, so I need to liquidate a little of my Willys collection to help the bank account recover.”
I haven’t had much time for jeep play, as the property, cows and gardens have required and will require a great deal of my attention over the next week. Next weekend we will be welcoming two additional 1000lb steerings that get slaughtered in August or Sept (hopefully), while our three young heifers need to be moved to the neighbor’s pasture where they will spend the summer bulking up for slaughter (or sale) next fall. And, so much more!
So, there will be limited, if any, updates for the upcoming week. I’d say I’m taking a vacation week, but it won’t be much of a vacation!
As for the steering, I welded the floor notch into the floor cover and welded a shelf to the frame for the heim joint. I still need to drill the holes for each of the shaft couplers, get a stock rubber replacement boot for the Rack and Pinion joint, and paint some of the parts, but otherwise the steering is ready to go. Once I get the stock seat installed, I’ll revisit the height of the steering wheel; I may need to shorten the steering column and shaft by a couple inches. But, that’s an easily done thing after everything is together.
I have a plan for running these brake lines along the interior of the frame (not inside the frame), but I will likely wait to redo them until after I pull the cab. So, these lines will be clamped and more neatly run once the steering is in place.
What you see for the bracket holding the V-dog is a 3/8″ angle piece welded vertically to a 3/8″ thick horizontal angle piece held to the frame by three bolts that were already there. It’s a snug fit, but there’s just enough room to make it work.
You can see some of the welds underneath the frame that need to be cleaned and reworded.
I added a slot to the Heim Joint bracket because without it disassembly would be difficult.
My longer transfercase cable should be here Monday or Tuesday, so the transfercase shifter will be the next install. Once that’s in place, I can install the new gauges and build the new transmission cooler bracket. All that will be followed (or coincide) with the new gas pedal setup based on the late 1960s VW bus. Then comes the e-brake and, finally, the wiring.
I’m sure this was a service station jeep at some point. It’s got a PTO tow setup in the rear with what looks to be a Koenig half cab? I might have a big push bumper in the front. While the listed price is $10k, it sounds like the seller is really just looking for best offer.

“CJ-5 Tow truck very rare  this will be one in a lifetime chance to own one of these wonderful jeeps. PTO driven, needs to be completely restored best offer”
These are hard to find vehicles. Not sure if they are easier or harder to get parts for than the Austin Champs. Thanks to TJ for sharing.

“I have 2 Autumn Gipsy’s that I was going to use to make 1 nice one. They are both projects, one has a pretty good body and ran when I put them away, the other has a hard top, and a lot of good parts and pieces the the other one needs. Both are independent suspension. This is just a project that I’m not going to get to. If the ad is up, they are still available. Let’s not waste each other’s time.”
