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 .

“The brief rundown is, it is a 1958 FC-170. It has a mid-engine Ford 351 with a C6 automatic. The truck has a ton of really cool features, such as a hydraulic bed and deck cover. Suicide doors, custom fiberglass bed. Jaguar rear end with coilover shocks, independent Mustang 2 front end on airbags. Complete custom interior. It really is a lot of fun, and gets attention everywhere it goes. Needs a little bit of electrical help, and could use a good paint job. It runs and drives. No rust. Located in southern Utah. Can help with shipping, if you arrange it.“
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.

Jeep Collectors and Enthusiasts, this could be your once in a life time chance to own a very rare Jeep truck.

Charles “Chuck” Prater’s (1928-1913) jeep camper has been discussed in the past, but pics of his prototypes are less well known. Chuck must have been a curious kind of guy, because when he was an employee at the circulation department of the Palm Beach Post in Florida he invented an automatic paper bagging machine.
How he got involved with jeeps isn’t well documented, but in the 1960s he developed a unique camper setup that allowed a camper to be ‘hitched’ to the back of a CJ-5. He showed off his prototype to the Palm Beach Post in July of 1968:
July 07, 1968, Palm Beach Post, Palm Beach, Florida.
From the CJ5camper.com website we have this additional photo of the prototype, year unknown. You’ll note that the camper in the pic above seems to lack the blue color added to the pic below, so this may have been taken after the Palm Beach Post photo?:
The Palm Beach reported a few months later on September 25, 1968, that Kaiser-Jeep agreed to manufactured Chuck’s camper idea:
For reasons unknown at this point, Chuck waited almost two years later (August 24, 1970) to file his patent (approved August 15, 1972). The patent included several illustrations. Below is one of them.
At some point after he filed his patent, Waldron Motors presented Chuck with camper #1. Curiously, the caption indicates he patented the idea, then sold it. However, the information above suggests he sold the idea, then patented it?:
This newspaper clipping was posted to thegentlemanracer.com’s site.
Being the inventor he was, Chuck didn’t stop inventing after the development of the camper. He expanded on his basic camper invention with a similar dump trailer idea. This article comes from the cj5camper.com site and is undated:
I searched but could not find a patent or another other information about the dump trailer.
According to his brother-in-law Sam Williams (see his comment in this post), Chuck built another camper that fit the CJ-7, one which Sam owns.
This has a dump bed. It’s listed as a 1956, but that seems unlikely since none were produced that year.

“1961 Willys Jeep Pickup truck. Restoration began with a near perfect rust free vehicle. Project was finished more than 20 years ago. Only 11,784 miles were ever put on the truck. And that was occasional driving for the first 3 years. Mostly to and from cars shows, truck shows, and parades. Then it went into storage for a few years. And for the last several years, it’s been parked under a shed. Time for a new owner.
Given the dual pistons, this might be a Garwood model, but I couldn’t say for sure. Unclear what the value is or what it would take to restore it.

“Think of this as a farm truck. It’s not pretty, but it’s pretty functional! I’ve owned this Willys for 9 years. I had it on the road for the first couple years but didn’t drive it many places (35mph) so just used it around the property and to push snow. A couple years ago I quit pushing snow so the Willys was just sitting. It’s time to go to a new owner.
The Willys always ran really good, so I spent some time on it to get it up and running: new battery, new plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor (points are good). It started right up and sounds as good as ever. It’s been converted to 12V with alternator. The dump bed has a belt driven hydraulic pump that feeds two lift cylinders. It’s pretty beefy.
