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 .
Has an F-head and some Cutlas selective hubs.

“Old jeep willys for sale early 50s. Message me with any questions. Jeep needs work but it doesn’t take much to get these going”
I found this wagon’s headlights modifications interesting. Just something different. There may not be much value here unless those rims are Renegade D-Slot rims. Given this appears to be 2WD, they may not be.

“Willy’s wagon $500 I don’t know what year it is. Somebody cut the round headlights out. Bummer… Come get it”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350.
This looks to be a Koenig hardtop. Looks like the rear hatch and doors are missing?
“Here is a good condition factory Jeep CJ 3A hardtop. It bolts on. This is just for the hardtop only…not the Jeep. No rust or bad areas……needs painting. The Jeep is gone.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
This is a project that lacks brakes and leaks fuel.
“I have this gem of a jeep here, rust free 1945 willy’s cj2a with all original tub, body panels, axles, motor, trans, t-case, and much more. Flat head 6 3 speed. It has been 12v converted and a new carb and shocks and a few small things here and there, but I’d say about 90% original. Great restoration project. It runs and goes into gear hooked up to a gas can but there are fuel leaks, and the throttle and breaks are not connected. Might be able to fix it but I’m seeing what I’ll get for it as is.
Negotiable on price, but based on what everyone is telling me about this it’s worth every penny I’m asking and then some. Would easily go for 10k with minimal work giving her a tune up (which I have two boxes of new parts to do so) and can fetch upwards of 30k fully restored, which this is the perfect rust free body and frame to do that to. I want to restore it myself but I have too many projects, took this one in on trade.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(07/08/2020) It runs, but needs work. Listed as a 1947, it could be earlier.

“Jeep with a 350. Chevy. Runs. Have extra brakes lines and wheel cylinders. Drives but pulls hard has been sitting for two years”
Bill shared this short article written by Daniel Stroh where organized four videos featuring folks and videos you may have seen on Facebook. These guys have been busy the last few years:
Here’s one of the videos showing parts of their trip over Black Bear Pass:
UPDATE: Todd shared a sign that matches the Jeep sign which appears in the lower part of the ad at the bottom of this post. I’ve not seen one quite like this, so I imagine it was only available in Canada?
The sign was double sided, but he separated the halves so he could hang them on the wall. Here are some pics:
This is the back of the sign. It was made by Tek, a company still in business in Canada.
=======================
This March 1957 ad in an unknown magazine highlighted the FC-150 distributers.
Gayland shared this photo of a Seabee MB NCB 6 (later changed to an MCB in 1949). He added, “I don’t know the location but suspect it is Guadalcanal. MCB6 was the first Seabee unit in combat when it joined the Marines on that island. Seabee equipment, at least in the Pacific theater, was painted the same color Marine equipment. Haze Gray shows up a little too well in the jungle.”
The good looking MB in this photo has a nice top. What kind of structure is that? A Cabin?
The Swedish translates to English as: “Staff trip to Storvallen 1948. From left: Uno Branden, Britta, Ingrid Hellström, Einar Montén and Astrid Walster.”

“JEEP Willys Jeep Earth Moving Equipment BROCHURE PAMPHLET. 2 page fold out 1940-50’s has 3 punched holes to fit in 3 ring binder. Condition is good “Used””
This is likely a CJ-3A with a replacement tub.

“1953 m38 in great condition. No body rust at all. Runs great. Steering is not hooked up, as somebody stared a steering column conversion and had not finished before I got it. Has the f head converted in as well. Great project. Could be used as parts, but it is very complete and I have a title. Sad to see it go but I have to many projects and not enough money.”
Joe in Mesa spotted this ad. The body looks to be from a DJ-3A convertible. I can’t tell what the chassis is, but odds are it’s a CJ-2A.

“This 1945 Willys CJ-2A is an original. The owner has had it for 5+ years. The vehicle runs great.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
(01/282021) This hardtop is unusual. The doors could be Koenig or possibly Worman. It looks like there’s a seem across the top and the side windows in the back are extra large.
“New engine, rebuilt transmission and transfer case. Rebuilt brake system. Rebuilt starter and alternator. Rebuilt lift pump on the snow plow. Arctic cab and heater. Runs great, everything operates as it should.”
This is a non running FC-170. The auction doesn’t begin until May 19th.

(12/11/2020) Needs some work and doesn’t run at the moment.

“Hello everyone. I am selling my 1946 CJ-2a. Overall it does need some TLC but everything is there and complete. It does come with the hydraulic pump and hydraulic ram that powered the original plow. The reason it was originally parked was the rear main seal was leaking onto the clutch which made the clutch slip. I do have a clean clear title in hand for the buyer. Vehicle does not run at this moment. It would have to get winched up onto a trailer. As you can see from the pictures both the original body Vin tag and frame Vin tag are intact and matching. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. I am asking $3,750 o.b.o please do not lowball me or waste my time.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
(12/16/2020) This may have been a truck at one time.

The man who launched the dune buggy industry passed away at age 94. He sounds like he was an interesting guy.

This is an hour-plus video about the Meyers Manx:
In honor of Bruce Meyers. This seller will trade his (possible Manx?) dune buggy for a jeep with plow.

“1958 dune buggy. Runs excellent. Comes with tow bar and miscellaneous parts, extra paint, etc. $8k or will trade for 4wd Jeep with plow and winch”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4850.
Has some mods. The cut sides aren’t finished off quite the same; the passenger side is more finished than the flat, straight angle of the driver’s side. Overall, the look isn’t all that bad in my opinion. I think if there was care taken, with more material left on the front side of the cuts this might make an interesting look.
“Vintage 1972 Jeep CJ6 Runs good”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
(11/15/2020) Seems like a pretty good price.
