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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .
There’s no text included with this unique truck, except for “1975 Willys”.

UPDATE: According to John, Mike got these home successfully. Apparently the VEC ’45 (#10910) is complete enough that it might be possible to get it running. For only $500 (plus gas), that’s a steal! See John’s comment below …
Jim forwarded me this great story of Harry, who is from Denmark. Thanks for sharing Jim and Best of Luck Harry! Here’s Jim’s remarks:
“I sold this 51 M38/CJ3A a few months ago on eBay to a very animated guy in Denmark named Harry. He showed up here in Durango a week ago to pick it up, saying he wanted to drive it to Dallas Texas (1000 miles!) and see a little of the country side. He turned out to be a really great guy; So, I invited him to stay here at the house and prep the jeep for the trip. We rode Harleys on a 300 mile loop through the Colorado mountains, ate, drank, laughed, learned some German and Danish, drank his home made honey wine, smoked a huge brisket for 16 hours, and drank rum around the bonfire at night swapping stories. After a couple days of lube, oil changes, collecting spare parts, tuning, etc, he jumped in last Friday and drove a nearly 60 year old, un-restored, stock, Willys jeep at 45 mph all the way to Dallas Texas in 3 days. I talked to him this morning. He said it ran great, the only failures being a coil and a starter solenoid. That’s pretty minor considering what could have gone wrong. He said he got terribly bored crossing the New Mexico desert, so he yelled at cows in Danish as he passed just for entertainment. Harry my new friend, I salute you, you are nuts, you are crazy, you are my kind of people, my hat is off to you!”
There’s some mixed and matched parts here. I believe that’s a CJ-3B windshield. I’m not entirely sure what the body is.

Here’s a very nice FC-150. Cool color too.
“Selling: 1957 Jeep Willys FC150 4X4, 4 Cylinder Hurricane Motor, 3 Speed Trans. Lock-out hubs, New tires & wheels. Mileage is Exempt. It has new paint, reupholstered seats. We do not know a lot about this unit. We grabbed it as a “barn find”, and decided to grab it and make it look unique. This Jeep runs great and has top-end speed of approx. 45 MPH. It was formerly olive green when purchased and now it is newly painted Tangerine Orange and Studebaker Beige. We can only tell you that this was a local buy in PA, and we can provide some history of its origin and its travels. This is a very rare vehicle and is in GREAT Condition. More pictures available upon request. Jeep lovers start your bidding! “
David sent us a few pics of his 1956 Wagon next to his 1951 Cj-3A. David notes that it “still has the 226 flat head and is still 6V.” Very nice! Thanks Dave!
It’s a good looking GPW.
“Originally purchased privately in January of 1983 in Heightstown, New Jersey. Has been garage kept since purchase, and believed to have been prior to also. It was primarily used for parades, re-enactments and static displays. Entire body and interior is original, including seat covers, ID plates, and windshield. Body was stripped down and repainted. Some additional body work and mechanical work required to get into show condition. Still has 6 volt system, may need new wiring harness. Generator rebuilt in late 1980’s. Motor rebuilt at time of purchase. Shimmy in front end when driven and small stone chip in driver’s side of windshield.”
