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 .
These rare brochures advertising after market parts were loosely packed into a 1973 Berens Catalog that I posted back in 2020.
I never tried an offenhauser manifold. I currently have a hi-rise Edelbrock for Biscuit’s V-6.
I assume these would fit on a Willys wagon?
The following roll bars, tow bar, rocker panels, and wide rims were either made by Berens or for Berens for resale.
November 2011: Andy on the left and a less-grayer me on the right.
I just heard the news that Andy Poncic, of Phoenicia, New York, passed away September 6, 2023. He was a collector of (mostly) WWII jeeps and an early reader of eWillys.
During our 2011 trip to the East Coast, Andy and his then girlfriend/now wife Wallis invited Ann and I to stay at their place in the Catskills. It was a rainy November day when we pulled up at their small house in the woods. Visiting readers was a new thing at that point, let alone spending the night (they were our second overnight visit, the first being with Bob and Mindy in Ohio earlier in the trip).
At the time I didn’t comment on the extensive collection Andy had, as he preferred I didn’t. To this day it is still one of the largest collections I’ve ever seen, though many were in varying states of disrepair. He told me he didn’t like to fix them up; instead, he liked to buy and sell. That was his hobby. In recent years Andy sold a number of jeeps, so I have no idea what, if any, he had left before he passed away.
During our stay, Andy introduced us to his friend Terry, who ran Terry’s Jeep Farm, which I highlighted in this post.
November 2011: Andy, me, and Terry at Terry’s Jeep Farm
The most memorable event happened as we chatted following dinner. That’s when the rainy weather turned to a storm, knocking out power. That’s remained a funny memory both Ann and I; you just never know what will happen when visiting readers.
I know Andy was hoping we’d drop by again, as he invited us several times, but we just never got back to that area of NY.
Marcelo Boni assembled a series of images that separate rear PTO gearboxes into eight types. 1) I didn’t know there were that many and 2) I never thought to do this. Unfortunately, this is currently on Facebook, so not everyone will likely see it.

He wrote, “After a post on the CJ2A forum a long time ago
“Dating a rear PTO gearbox”
I started gathering pictures of Rear PTO gearboxes. I was expecting to identify the box period correct for my 1952 CJ3A.
I found 8 different variations.
Early ones are 24/20 tooth configuration.
When does the tooth config have changed to 22/22?”
If anyone knows the answer to that questions, I’ll make sure he gets the info.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $700.
A sale is pending as I write this, but these Economy Delivery Van’s, introduced in 1958, are super rare. I have probably documented three of them in 15 years?
“PENDING. 1950 ish jeep delivery panel. No engine. No title. Unknown mileage.”
This has a Koenig half-cab.

“The good= The jeep runs and moves, all the lights work (including blinkers), frame is solid. New parts= radiator, alternator (12v system), brake lines, brake master cylinder, gas tank, seat frame, light switch Engine isn’t original. Currently has the f head hurricane four cylinder engine. Hood doesn’t clear carburetor so that’s why the hood is off.
The bad=Floor has rust holes and a spot that someone cut out above transmission, will probably need new brake pads and drums all the way around, there is pressure at brake pedal but brakes dont work (pistons could also be stuck), transmission needs a new tail shaft seal, and exhaust needs work. Make me an offer that wouldn’t surprise your mother”
UPDATE: Status Unknown, Was $13,499.
It runs, but isn’t completely restored.
“1963 Jeep FC150. Stock motor runs fine. New aluminum gas tank fabricated in place of rusty original. New clutch disk, pressure plate, Syncros replaced, New brake master cylinder, all wheel cylinders, brake lines, brake drums, wheel bearings, wiring harness, speedo, horn, steering wheel. All new glass, rubber, window track felts, windows roll up and down well. Have but not installed new door cards, plus old upholstered but warped cards. Pretty much all cab rust repair tackled, including replacing steel over the windshield, and at lower corners. At one time it had a snowplow. Main frame plow attachments remain. Other plow brackets and front bumper with snowplow parts except blade included. I have lost interest in completing a cosmetic restoration, but not too much more to go. Located in 95954. Would trailer to deliver as far south as Sacramento, as far north as Redding.”
It’s listed as a 1950.

I can’t tell if the fenders are pre or post 1972.

Andy shared this truck. Value is unclear.
“Jeep FC170 truck Year unknown 4wd Cab looks decent. Used to be a flat bed. Back part of frame look”
I assume “loose” means the engine is free?

“1951 Willys Jeep with snowplow blade. 4 cylinder. Chevy motor is loose. Body is in good shape. Bill of sale. No title.”
Here’s another story with images about the Bountiful Jeep Posse. This appeared in the May 1948 issue of Outdoor Life. Interestingly, this article summarizes the environmental history and purpose behind the creation of the Bountiful Jeep Posse.
In August of 1969 National Geographic published a lengthly story on the state of Colorado. Near the end of the article is a photo overlooking Ouray with a few tour jeeps in the foreground.
I had hoped the FC-Tour Jeep that was depicted was mine, so I bought the issue on eBay, But, a couple clues indicate it is Craig’s tour jeep. Other tour jeeps shown are the white CJ-6, the red topless wagon, and the Commando tour jeep.
These are scans I made of a reader’s Texaco lubrication charts years ago. The first one is for the CJ-2A and CJ-3A. The second one is for the 4WD Truck.
Ann spotted this video by the Jeep Guy. It’s part of a series of videos spoofing high end vehicles vs. not-so-high-end vehicles.
John’s wife Anne spotted this jeep-themed quilt at a Salt Lake City quilt show. I am still waiting on my jeep quilt from my wife (to be fair, she has no time for quilting these days and no doubt she is waiting on me to finish projects for her).
Blaine shared this low mileage CJ-5 (17K plus miles). There are some great vintage details on this rig.

“1971 CJ5 jeep renegade 1

This has some updates.

I thought this commando has an unusual soft top. Was this a standard or third party option? I can’t remember seeing another. This has a nice looking warn winch on the front, too.
