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: **SOLD** Was For Trade
Nice looking jeep.

It’s a nice looking rig & trailer.
“1961 WILLYS CJ-3B, CLEAR TITLE, 13,500 ORIGINAL MILES, ORIGINAL HURRICANE 4 CYL ENGINE, STARTS, RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT, THIS IS A VERY NICE OLD JEEP, THERE ARE JUST 3 OR 4 VERY TINY RUST SPOTS ON THE BODY, THE BODY IS VERY SOLID, NO RUST IN THE FLOOR OR TOOL BOX, EVERYTHING WORKS, 2 OF THE SNAPS ON THE BACK OF THE TOP NEED TO BE REPAIRED, THE WHEELS ARE VERY NICE, 31X10.50X15 TIRES ARE LIKE BRAND NEW, INCLUDES THE PTO WINCH YOU SEE IN THE PIC, INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL WHEELS AND TIRES, INCLUDES THE MILITARY TRAILER IN THE PICS, YOU WILL NOTICE THAT ONE OF THE TRAILER LIGHTS IS BROKEN – BOTH TRAILER LIGHTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED SINCE THESE PICS WERE TAKEN.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4900
This looks like a very nice CJ-3B for the price.
“Available now is my ’53 Willys Jeep. It appears unmolested – which is to say that it looks reasonably stock and is in very good condition for its age. Adult owned – garaged. Has a functioning 8-track tape player (and tapes) and a Johnson 23ch CB radio, too. Included (but not shown) is a rear cargo rack and a fold-down rear seat. Also included is a Bikini top. Mechanically, it has had all of the desirable modifications done: Buick V6, SM420 transmission, Saginaw steering, Warn winch, KC lites, etc. I replaced the entire suspension last year…new leaf springs, shocks, shackles…even new grease fittings! I’d consider trades for a very cherry Samurai, Toyota 4×4/4Runner, or maybe a small convertible sports car like a Miata. I have many pics of this Willys and would be glad to forward some to you. E-mail me with questions.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
(12/26/09) Here’s a nice looking restoration.
“Frame off restoration. Original powertrain, 4 Cyl L-Head engine, new carburetor, resealed intake and exhaust manifolds. Underneath of body was cleaned and undercoated when body was off the frame. Frame was cleaned and undercoated and painted.All body bushings are new. Completely new wiring from front to rear, 12V system. All new gauges, speedo cable and e-brake cables. New stock seats and frames. Have the stock rear seat, but will need to be recovered. New paint last June, inside and outside of tub, grille and hood. New rear brakes, hardware, wheel cylinders and brake hoses. New e-brake shoes, hardware and master cylinder. Haven’t done anything with the front brakes. The front locking hubs will need to be replaced.”
This is a well done rebuild with a variety of interesting mods. It’s worth a look through many of the images.
UPDATE: **SOLD**
“1946 Jeep Willys CJ2a, Jeep comes with An extra set of tires and a top.. All of the electical has been replaced and all of the gauges and lights works.. Jeep is still 6 volt and runs, it has been stilling for quite sometime and needs the carb cleaned/rebuilt (jeep runs alittle rough and starts hard)….Please feel free to ask questions.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3795.
This certainly has some unusual features. I can’t say I’ve seen a roll bar quite like that either. There are no comments by the seller, other than the mileage of 276 miles.
This might be a great, relatively easy restoration project. It looks in very good shape for the price.

(03/23/2010) This looks like a great restoration project for someone not looking to do an entire project at once. Note the owner has a notebook with the original documentation about this.

UPDATE: This is back on eBay
(03/16/2010) Here’s a nice looking build with an engine and tranny update. It still needs some interior work.
“Rare find, 1959 Jeep FC-150. This is a stock appearing FC-150 that has the following modifications/improvements:
1. Chassis has been sandblasted and painted with POR15.
2. First engine was the wimpy 4 cylinder and I then changed it to a V6 Dauntless from a 1967 Jeepster after resealing and rebuilding all rotating components. Engine is fitted with headers and dual exhaust.
3. Transmission was changed from the 3 speed to a Turbo 400 automatic. There is no evidence inside the cab that it is an automatic. The shifter is the original and the pedals are all the same. The Brake and the Clutch pedal have been joined.
4. There is a new wiring harness and new instruments installed in crinkle finish dash. The interior is without headliner cardboard and doors do not have cardboard panels installed.
5. New windshield and rear glass, one door has new glass.
6. All NEW springs, not rebuilt. New Shocks, new Brakes. Front axle has disc brakes.
7. Body has NEW cab corners, NEW floors. The cab was plastic bead paint removed and spray weld to treat any traces of rust. There are no bondo patches anywhere.
No stories, I have had it long enough and I dislike interior work so I never finished the interior. It is quite powerful and runs like a bear. I have never had it off road in 10 years. My Son needs a car and my wife insists on airbags. I have over $15k in this at this point but it is time for it to go. There is no title as Vermont does not title vehicles over 15 years old. Sold on a bill of sale.”
Here’s a before pic:
Here’s the after pics and an in progress pic:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“This “Go-anywhere,” “Tough-job traction” truck is on the market here for the first time in over 20 years. Originally purchased from a glass co. in OHIO by the current owner. He has done a complete frame off restoration as you can plainly see in the photos. Introduced in 1957 the Jeep Willys FC-170 was wider and carried a heavier load than the FC-150. It has a Kaiser 6-226 motor inline 6 that is good on gas. You won’t get stuck with high/low option 4WD and LT235/85R16 tires.
The bed is made of appatong wood said to be 5 times harder than oak for those heavy loads. The truck has a 7,000 lb. GVW, a 103″ wheelbase with a 108″ bed. The Cab-over design is very unique. There were approximately 2,000 FC-170’s built in ’61. You will be guaranteed to be the hit of the car shows…”
This looks very nice.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000
ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK THE VIN … THIS WAS A FUN ONE: The seller noted on ebay that this is a ’57, but it has the older, pre’57 dash. That raised a flag. So, I looked closely at the VIN: The first set of numbers are 55268 instead of 453 GB2. That VIN actually belongs to a 1956 Pickup Truck 6 cyl (226 ci) with 4wd with a serial number of 33836. See this service bulletin for the details.
“Very original Willys CJ3B. No body lift, original 4cyl engine, manual lockers on front, 3 speed trans. Color is Red, original upolstry in great shape and this has rear bench seat. Tool box under passenger seat. 4 good tires – spare is for decoration. Has AM/FM cassette and Jensen speakers under dash on firewall. Top is serviceable. No Bondo.”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
