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 $15,900
This looks like a very nice wagon, but the hood doesn’t look like it quite fits right in the front (or maybe it’s an optical illusion).
“New brakes, battery, tires like new, RUST FREE BODY.”
This is pretty rough, but is a no reserve auction.
“1962 Willy Jeep for restoration. I believe it is a CJ3B flat finder, high hood. It has a clear title and ran before it was put in storage. The transmision and four wheel drive were all working how ever the motor is now stuck. Body has rust and a few holes but the mount and frame are good. The floor board has only a few small holes but the bottom of the bed is gone. The top is good and it has doors as well. Most of the glass is bad or gone. I put lub in the cyclinders and I’m sure you can get the motor to run.There is no reserve and must be paid for at end of sale and pick up with in 30 days Thanks.”
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
“Very rare (less than 400 believed to ever have been produced, and only a handful raimaining). Kaiser built these for the military based on the Forward Control Willys platform and powered by a Cerlist diesel engine. The engine, transmission, and transfercase are missing from this rare survivor. Survivor may be a strong word considering how beat up this example is. Nearly very door and body panel is beat up in some fashion. The irony is that this is a relativley rust-free example of a Forward Control Jeep. The floors and structural body componenets are solid and strong.
This truck comes with a solid and straight civilian cab and doors that can be used to rebuild this ultra-rare crewcab body. It has the military bumpers and grill guard. The military garages are gone. I have a civilian dash to go with it. It is missing the rear seat, and has no glass.
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
“I bought this truck because of the rare 4-speed T98 transmission, and intended to use it as parts for my M677 Crew Cab (listed separately). I decided to go ahead and list this FC170 separately, but I would also work with anyone interested in both trucks.
This truck starts and runs great. The brakes are currently down from sitting. I bought it a year ago. The preivous owner told me he drove it regularly over the last15 yeas around his farm in Arkansas.
The four speed transmission and shifting mechanis is complete, as is the Ramsey PTO-driven winch. The seats have been recovered with gray vinyl. There is some rust in the forward floors and around the inside of the windshield header. It looks like rust from mouse nests on the interior side. The exterior does not show rust through. It has relatively new Delta Super Deep Lug tires, size 7.50 x 16. I don’t have a title for this Jeep. The previous owner was supposed to mail it to me. I’ve heard from him since then, saying he would send it once the DMV processed some paper work, but it has not yet arrived in my mailbox.”
Dan spotted this good looking deal.

I had the seat and sunvisors reupholstered red with flames stiched in them. Thanks for looking”

(05/01/2010) I like this one. However, the engine hasn’t been run in a while. Also, rear drivelines generally don’t just bend, so i suspect the rear end might need a rebuilt.
“1954 Willys M170 Front Line Ambulance. Serial #10538. This was running when it was parked. I don’t know much about the Jeep other than what I was told by the Rancher I got it from. NO TITLE ranch jeep sence late 70s was parked in a barn after rearend went out. I towed it home with no problems. Rear driveline is bent, I do not hear any noise in rearend when it is puled with towbar. This jeep was at an airport when the rancher aquired it. Has the military radio, mike, and loud speker in the dash. see pictures. I have not done anything with it SOLD AS-IS NO WARRANTY. I can store for awhile but will be outside. CASH or BANK DRAFT ONLY!! ”
This might be worth a trip to Sandpoint.
“Willeys Jeep. Grandpas project ran 7 to 8 years ago. Complete jeep with spare for parts 43 or 45. Please e-mail questions to chris@stknoxacademy.com”

Matt spotted this nice Cj. It has low mileage and looks great.
“1960 Willys Jeep CJ5 18,025 miles from new, very original unmolested. I am the second owner. The original upholstery is nice under the seat covers. Original spare tire still mounted on back. Comes with fiber glass top and 7″ Western plow. The original engine has been rebuilt by North Star Willys. It has a new exhaust, brakes, clutch, battery, belts and hoses. I have all receipts. This Jeep is completely bone stock, drive it home”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a good looking CJ-3B. The seller provides a nicely detailed description. The drain holes have been filled in.
“Here is a very nice 1953 Willys CJ-3B that is roadworthy. I run errands in it frequently. I have the title in my name so no drama there. The Jeep is still mostly original with the Hurricane engine and T-90 transmission, both of which work great. The engine starts right up hot or cold, no smoke and is very smooth. I’ve had the Jeep for two years, and from what I’ve been told by the previous owner, the Jeep was totally refurbished 12 years ago. I have no reason to doubt that. The paint still has some shine but there are some surface rust spots. There is also rust on the drivers side support for the fender. Also some rust on a cross member under the tub near the rear wheel wells. Since I’m in the disclosing mode, the only gauges that are hooked up are the temperature gauge and the oil pressure gauge. The odometer works but the speedometer has a broken needle. The ampere meter and the gas gauge are not hooked up and will be good things for a “to do” list. The seats are not original and in pretty bad shape under the seat covers, but they look okay. The emergency brake cable needs to be replaced….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
This has an unusual roof/roll bar. It appears there’s some rust near the driver’s side drain hole. Otherwise, it looks pretty solid.
“All original parts. Runs great. New tires. 8,000 LB Warn wench. Great vehicle for hunting and the outdoors!”
UPDATE: Was $7500. Status Unknown.

It is spotless throughout and runs and drives nicely. It has been garaged since its restoration three years ago. If you are looking for a classic, ready to drive (needs a top), totally restored Jeep, this one is worth your attention. ”
This might be a good price.

I think DUSTY describes this accurately. It looks pretty solid underneath the rust.

UPDATE: Was $15750 **Status Unknown**
(04/29/2010) I’m a little surprised the seller doesn’t mention this is a Slat Grille. This doesn’t have the in-dash jockey box.
“The vehicle has been restored. It is very nice, runs great. Registration and Safety just renewed. It has too many improvements to list. Located on Maui in Lahaina. I am willing to take serious offers.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
(11/18/09) The Vin number would make this produced in 1948. This looks like a nice rebuilt.
“ I am selling my CJ2A. This has been recently restored. Body was removed and repainted. Color is maroon. Black undercoat on the body to help prevent rust. Restoration did not include mechanical. Vehicle had a partial 12V conversion when I got it. It now has all new wiring. All lights work. Added turn signals and brake lights. Horn works. Starter is 12V. It uses a borg warner 6V coil; but could easily be changed to 12V coil. Jeep would be street legal if you add the windshield; the seals for the windshield are included in sale. It didn’t need the motor or drivetrain rebuilt. Although I did paint the engine and rebuild the carburator. New gauges except for speedo.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
(09/03/2010) “for sale is a 1957 jeep/ willys forward control 150. this is the limited production (9 years) vehicle.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3995
(05/18/2010) This looks great. It appears to sport a replacement body. Not a bad price.
“1948 Willys CJ2A runs drives and stops. New brakes and lines 5 years ago; aftermarket steel tub, hood and tailgate, no rust on the body, original windshield. I do not know the mileage but have a clear Wisconsin title for it. I think it is an MB frame. I have used it as a toy on my farmette near Monroe, Wi. It starts up every spring but I just use it to drive locally. The tires are new, non directional with less than 100 miles on them. The pics were taken before the new tires. I bought it from a guy in northern Wi who painted it with a brush but it looks pretty good anyway. I have a new steering wheel and correct passenger seat frame for it, just not installed. Don’t need to sell but also don’t need the toy”
UPDATE: Was $15,000. **SOLD**
A reader named John is selling this nicely restored MB.
“1945 Willys 1/4T reconnaissance truck, JEEP, delivered to the military 3-7-45 and recently completed a tub-off restoration. All restoration work correct to original specs with primarilly original NOS parts and professional rebuilds of the motor, drivetrain, axles, diffs, tranny and TC. Era correct top quality canvas and rubber throughout and every detail of the restoration process was documented in scores of digital pics. Over $14000 in parts and services alone with receipts available. This Willys is a classic example of a combat jeep in the ETO circa. early ’45. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This looks good, though it has a broken passenger-side axle.
“90% finished ground up restoration. Including: gear inspection, complete emroned frame axles and running gear, new tires, rebuilt engine and transmission with aproximately 1500 miles on them, tub pan replaced with diamond plate, all wood supports removed and replaced with steel chanel, rubberized undercarriage, all new guages, fuel and oil systems upgrade, oversized radiator, saginov steering, clean wiring, custom bench seat, brand new Bestop soft top, and many many oem replacements throughout. Sweetest running willys around, super billit build, must see to appreciate.
Whats left/wrong: Needs paint, has some rust on tail gate and windshield frame (planned on getting new ones) rest of body is rust free, and done right, guages need to be put in dash, mirrors, and wipers need to be installed
The issue: I was playing with it on the coast and broke the passenger side rear axle shaft recently, and have decided I dont have the time or ability to repair the axle. This is a super common break with lots of online info, and replacement axle shafts are 80 bucks. I have put over 10 grand into this jeep over the past 8 years, and Im letting it go for 2500! Must see to appreciate, and MUST sell.”
