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 .
This looks like a solid truck, though it needs the wiring finished and there is some rust.
“1949 Willys Jeep Truck, 4×4. flat 4 motor, 3 speed column shit. I have converted to a gm alternator and 12 volt battery. Tires are good and body is in great shape. The only rust is on the bottom of the doors. Truck starts, runs and drives, but needs a tune up and wiring finished.”

(07/10/2010) The seller says it is a daily driver.

I’m assuming both run, drive and stop based on the “all-in-good-working-order” comment.
“1948 green Jeep CJ2, engine, transmission, running gear, frame, all in good working order. 1949 yellow Jeep CJ3, engine, transmission, running gear, frame, all in good working order. Engine needs valve job. Both Jeeps would be great for a frame-up restoration. $3000.00 for both.”

Status Unknown. Was $1400.
“Anyone have interst in a 1947 CJ2A (serial #129382) with Jeep-a-Trench option. Unit is complete but chains are all locked up due to rust. Pictured is the well pulling attachment on the front of the jeep. That has been removed and is not included in the sale. The rest of the jeep is mostly complete including the following options: pto controler, shaft, rear gear box, 90 degree gear box (minus the drum), top bows, ag weight, and governor (minus the governor handle). The engine is siezed but has no noticable cracks. Jeep does not have a title. The body is ruff but not a complete basket case. Jeep rolls easily but the steering column is frozen. The wheels still turn side to side by hand so loading on trailer will not be a problem.”
Probably a simple fix regarding the alternator issue.
“This jeep runs and drives great but not holding charge, i think that it may need a new battery also needs new brake lines. I have new top and doors for the jeep, and lots more. CALL MIKE AT 1757-695-0383.”

This seems like a good price to me.
“This jeep was reconditioned in the late ’90. For the past two or three years it has been parked in my barn. As a result of not being run the fuel pump has stopped working. With a $30 rebuild kit and a complete cleaning of the fuel system this jeep will run fine. It has been used primarily as a show vehicle being displayed in various parades and events. It is in excellent condition and would make a fine addition to someones militaria collection. The markins are from the Korean War era and the unit was reconditioned to represent this period.”
http://charleston.craigslist.org/cto/1876831511.html
UPDATE: This is now on eBay. Though there are now more pics, none of the pics show the rear.
(07/25/2010) None of the pictures shows the rear. The passenger side rear appears to show some damage/rust at the edge of the picture.
“Attention collector’s, Willys fans, or farmers…runs great! Use 2WD or 4WD. Body has some rust on floor. Side steps and floormats included. Spare tire mount damage but can be straightened. Windshield intact and works, wipers, hood, headlights, seats, seat belts, etc. all good. No top.”
UPDATE: This sold on ebay for $23k
(04/14/2010) This is an UNRESTORED MB in excellent condition.
Quoting Josh, “I think this is a truly rare opportunity to buy probably the nicest unrestored mb in private hands. I’ve known the owner for a number of years now. I can attest to the fact that he only settles for the nicest/correct original parts and knows what is period correct. A true collector, preservationist, and expert. As far as original goes this jeep is the real deal, top of the line, and something that doesn’t come up for sale. Whoever ends up with this will jeep not be disappointed.”
The seller writes, “For Sale WWII JEEP: original unrestored complete 1944 Willys MB, in running & driving condition, clear PA title, 5 Goodyear tires, ORIGINAL summer canvas top, windshield cover, half doors, ORD tire pump, hand crank, grease gun, first aid kit, oil can, TM 9-803 manual, fold lube chart, and an extra fuel sump ….are all included.

“This is my grandpa’s jeep. He has been collecting jeeps since before i was born and has finally begun to sell them. He used to drive our towns old war veterans around the square in the parade with his jeeps, and that is about the only time he ever took them out of storage.
Its in good condition, and starts up on the first try or two. The fiberglass antenna is cracked and broken toward the top, and the millage is vard to read due to the numbers cracking and falling off. It does not have a title. We took the make shift top off this jeep, but i dont have the pics of it without the top. It looks much better without it though.”

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was on eBay
“Up for auction is the very collectible 1962 Jeep FC-150. It comes with the 4 cylinder hurricane engine and a manual transmission. This 4X4 is complete with a Western plow which is hydraulic up and down. The truck does not run at this time. It has been in barn storage the last 5-6 years and was a running working truck prior to being stored. I put an older battery in for testing, but the starter just whined and did not engage so the the battery connection was too weak or the solenoid may need replacement. As you can see in the pics it is rusty and the glass has cracks/chips. It has an electric fuel pump. the gas line has been disconnected. No brakes, clutch pedal feels OK. I did not check lights. Plow pump will keep the blade raised but I could not move the plow up and down since it didn’t run. The undercarriage looks pretty good. It might be too much work to bring back to original, but might make a good lot plow or farm truck. The previous owner assured me it was a good running truck but I had little time to spend with it. Radiator is properly filled and the truck seems stock and relatively complete. I do have the engine cover, but it was shown in the pics.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
This might clean up nicely.

(06/02/2010) “This 1959 Jeep FC 170 is in good running condition. It is all original and starts and runs great. It has a Western 7′ snow blade that is in good working condition and included with it (blade not pictured). Original parts manual is included. The driver side window is cracked, tail light needs replaced, and there is a slow leak in the break line. Body is solid and in good condition with a small amount of rust (see pictures). That is to my knowledge everything that I know about it. This FC 170 is currently licensed and registered and is in driving condition. The odometer reading is unverified, but to my knowledge would be pretty close due to the condition of this Jeep. These are very rare and hard to find especially in this condition. If you have any questions you can contact me at 319-385-3399. A $500 deposit will be required immediately at auction ending. Must be paid in full by the time of pick up or delivery.”
