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 .
I thought I’d previously listed this one? It’s got a custom tub.

“Custom built tub new parts include tires tubes radiator complete brake system alternator wiring high torque starter carburetor tuneup front leaf springs runs and like a cj-2a”
This is an interesting column shift 2A with a vehicle cab (from a truck?) and service boxes.

“New Price 1946 CJ2A column shift.Originally! REMOVED PTO AND SHAFT. Added a cane shift but has T-90 side shift tranny. Needs complete restoration or for parts. F/S $750.00 Located East of Memphis.
This was removed from a deer camp in NW Tenn. The owner said it has been at the camp since late 70s. They started to change out motors and realized front mounting plate was different and gave up on it.”
This sure is an unusual build. I doubt there will ever be another ….

“All Clemson fans take notice!!! This is a custom built truck. This truck was used years ago with the football team as well as others. This truck has been in many parades and tailgate events. I discovered this truck a couple years ago and had to have it. This truck is built from 5 different vehicles. The list is as follows: Titled as 1981 Jeep J-10 truck 4×4 chassis, 1946 Ford car front, 1970’s Mail Jeep cab, 1955 International bed that has hydraulic lift, 1951 Ford truck grill. She has an in-line 4.0 Jeep 6 cylinder engine. Power brakes and steering. Runs quit like a Singer sewing machine. Travels straight as an arrow at 70 mph. One of a kind and wins shows everywhere she’s entered. Be prepared for many questions if you’re the lucky person to be the next owner. Build cost was estimated at over $20k and I believe it. Great fab work done! Message me only if interested in buying please! Title in hand”
This unusual build has a Toyota drivetrain (and chassis?) with a CJ-5 body.

“1948 Willys 4×4 Pickup Truck for sale. This truck was described as a “cute and interesting dinosaur.” Here’s the real story. Its Vermont registration shows it as a 1948 Willys CJ 2 door. Its 4×4 drive train is all Toyota. The removable cab is fiberglass, the pickup body is rust-free steel. It drives well and ready for off-road fun or local travel. Offered at $12,500”
Ron Fitzpatrick recently revealed two parts GPAs he apparently has acquired, which I imagine he will transform into one? Anyway, I wanted to highlight the green one, as it is one of the oddest modified GPAs I’ve ever seen. The pics are from this post: https://www.facebook.com/ron.fitzpatrick.g503/posts/pfbid0oJdt1qQ8yYYtgsJ1QkETtynEJpbEWQUJvPtd8ncrXvFeZNB3S8czBzdXie8Qqr1Gl
Thus is an unusual FC.

“1960 Jeep FC-150 Brush Fire Truck was created by the Noble Township Volunteer Fire Department in Ohio in the late 70s. We bought the Jeep not running. We had a local shop (Wrenchers) clean the fuel system, install a gas tank, and service the brakes (6 years ago). The engine and drivetrain is overall stock/original and does leak a little bit of oil. The Jeep was lifted, with blocks, to deal with the larger tires and the off-road terrain it was modified to run on. We adapted an additional electronic fan to help with cooling during slow parade routes. All head/turn/running lights work, and the emergency lights and siren also work. Each of the 3 benches in the back has 3 seat belts, or two booster seats. This is the Only FC-150 I have ever seen with this type of cab/bed modification, and it is a blast to drive in parades and around town. Top speed is around 44 mph. Large dent on front driver corner shown in the last photo. No body/frame rot. Normal surface rust underneath”
Here’s an unusual rig. Note the three windshield wipers.

“EXTREME MONSTER>>>>ONE OF A KIND…. CUSTOM JEEP This Heavy Duty glass jeep was professionally cut in half and stretched 12” to fit on to a modified J10- ½ Ton Frame. IT IS NOW A MONSTER JEEP!!!

This GPW has been converted (sort of) into a high hood.

“1944 Ford GPW JEEP Runs. Needs some work. Comes as is. Serious inquiries only. Was converted to a high hood Jeep in the mid 60’s in order to put a bigger engine in. Has a straight six 196 rambler engine in it”
David Adams posted this oddity on Facebook. He was hoping to learn more about it. The jeep appears to be a CJ-3A that’s been modified for some purpose that’s not clear. The side looks kind of like a Willys Quad; was that a coincidence?
Here’s one of his posts (there were several posts and I got several IMs about it).
This photo was posted back in 2011 by Bill Grist. I can’t tell if the rear portion is a connected via pivot point (aka trailer) or if it is one solid six-wheeler. It’s a unique setup for sure.

(01/26/2023) Can’t say I’ve ever thought of putting an FC cab on a John Deere Gator.

“I have something you have probably not seen it’s a 2006 John deere gator With a 1962 Willys fc170 cab Welded to the gator it runs great it has lights that all work would make a great project to finish”

(01/11/2023) This is an odd one. It’s listed as a 1967, but looks to be early 50s.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/522959189819291
“1967 Jeep Willys Dragon. Great for someone who likes projects. I do not have more pictures and I am unable to get them due to not having immediate access.. if you want to see it you can make an appointment and my husband can meet you. Bought it as a project but I don’t have the time or money to put into it. Does not have an engine in it.. no title only bill of sale. I also bought an Diesel engine that has the transmission which I was going to adapt to the Jeep. But ended up not doing it. Selling separately Jeep selling for $3,500 Engine with transmission selling for $2,500”
Probably not much original 2A here.

Roger Martin spotted this unusual 3B on Facebook. There are only two images included, so there is limited info about it. That said, I’m leaning towards this being a home-brew rather than a prototype.

UPDATE: Dwayne posted some more pics of his truck on Facebook. You can see them below:
This image was posted a few days ago by Dwayne Brown. I am guessing the the back bed is a modified wagon back? It reminds me a little of the “Tender” wagons. Looks like a great rig!

“CJ-2A Runs great”
The body has some unusual mods. Lacks a title.

Mario shared this photo of a highly modified jeep on Facebook. “A field modified up-armored jeep from the 17th Airborne Division, ca. 1944.”
Bill shared this customized DJ-5 with a Ford Model A feel. Even stranger, it has two steering wheels! It is weirdly awesome!

“If the posting is active then YES, IT IS STILL FOR SALE……. If you only ask that, then I will respond with “NO”. Ex-Postal jeep converted to a Ford Model A type vehicle. It is two wheel drive and has the inline 6 motor with an automatic transmission. The motor is currently stuck from sitting. IT IS NOT RUNNING. Yes it has two steering wheels. It’s a Left hand drive car. The right side steering wheel is not connected to anything. It is in rough shape but has good bones and would be a fun project. I picked it up as a cool project car and I don’t have time to work on it. I have oiled cylinders with marvel oil and have not tried to turn it over since. NO TITLE BILL OF SALE ONLY.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
There seems to be an MB or GPW under this Ford cab.

“This is a project with about $12,000.00 invested in parts and a lot of labor. This was ment to be a pick up and would be a cool finished vehicle. Working out of state has made it impossible for the owner to finish. The cab and chassis has a used v6 engine, front and rear end. The trans. is a 350 turbo rebuilt with truck internals. The transfer case is a Dana 300 rebuilt. The springs are new. The wheels and tires are used, but there is a new set of wheels. There is also a Buick rebuilt long block and rebuilt Dana 44 front and rear Axles. The front has a Detroit locker and Warn hubs. Two pallets of parts used and new. Selling as parts/ project w/ title.
I would like to sell as a package, but may consider offers as parts.”
