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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500. Later than a ’53.
This might make a good restoration project.
“i have a 1953 willys wagon for sale. it has a 4 cyl that needs to be rebuilt. the body (1960) and frame are absolutely fantastic. the hood has suface rust. i have the bumpers, radiator, original steering column, and many other parts that go with this jeep. these jeeps look really nice after they’ve been restored. this is a restoration project well worth the money.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
I don’t see much rust. This needs some completion.
“1st year for the rare cab-over 4×4 Willys jeep. 90% original and complete/4cyl replaced with buick v6/ original 3spd with model18 transfercase to dana axles with 5.37 gears.New brakes, hydraulic system, needs clutch, but have new parts for you. Comes with the stock wheels. Been in storage a couple of years. I’ve owned it scince ’02 and have used it to drive to work and make firewood runs. Rack on back with hand-cranck winch. Good glass and good body and bed (not flawless though). It’s always been a work truck.”
UPDATE: This was bought for the ‘buy it now’ price of $8000. Thanks Dennis!
(11/24/09) I like it, in part because it looks like it still gets used. Marysvale is deep in the middle of Utah. I’ve never been there, but I’ve been jeeping out of Mt. Pleasant above Marysville. I’ve also flown over that area a number of times and scoped it out pretty well (you can see a variety of trails from above) with the idea that I’d go jeeping there at some point. Also, the San Rafael Swell is a good area to explore also and is ignored by most tourists (or used to be).
“Willys Jeep FC-170. Dually flatbed. Purchased restored & used as light duty ranch truck. Stored inside. Still in nice condition. Has stock engine & transmission, 4wd. Was previously used as a parade vehicle but now carries a Lincoln welder (not included). Interior is all redone with blue velour seats. Runs & starts good in warm weather. It is not run in the winter. There are external exhaust pipes on each rear corner of the cab – sounds great too. This truck shows 80,000 miles but seller cannot guarantee actual milage.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3500
This appears in decent shape.
“Has new military style tires, steering gearbox, shocks, etc.. Has black vinyl top with doors. Call Charles (940) 391-5009.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200
(12/04/09) The paint could use some … well .. more paint. But if you need a plower, this might work great.
“This an oldie but goodie. It is a 4 speed, 6 cylinder flathead hurricane engine, 4 wheel drive. The same owner had this vehicle since 1968!!! The vehicle does run and drive, but we are selling it as parts or for restoration only. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
(12/09/09) Not much of a description It looks pretty stock.
“RUNS GOOD, GOOD DRIVE TRAIN…NEEDS BRAKES”
UPDATE: still available.
(10/01/09) Here’s a stainless jeep from Seattle’s Eastside. I gotta say, that back seat might be the most comfortable looking back seat I’ve ever seen in the back of a jeep.
“1951 willy jeep all stainless steel not to many made like this very rare only a few was built this jeep is in perfect condition runs drive perfect a very expensive jeep its worth $20,000 is a buty must see in person I have the title and everything dont want to explain to much so call for $12,500 all questions 425-285-8012”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7100.
(09/06/09) It’s not completely stock, but not far from it. What’s the metal underneath the front driver’s-side fender?
“1953 Willys CJ3a, all stock, not modified, runs and drives excellent. new gas tank, new rear seat and new 6 volt battery. Items for display at car shows go with it. no top. Painted inside and out, and underneath. Many new parts. Parade and car show ready. Licensed with 1953 plate, Every thing is done. No rust! Asking $7200.00.”
UPDATE: I should really put the day of the “no post” up to eliminate any confusion about which day I’m talking about (which was Tuesday night).
Anyway, ever had one of those days where your ex-wife calls you to tell you that (1) instead of paying her mortgage, she chose to make other decisions with her money? And, oh by the way, (2) the bank didn’t like that she didn’t make the payments, so, after a few discussions with the bank, (3) the bank put it up for auction and sold it. Finally, (4) she was now calling me to let me know what had happened so that I could help support the kids through this emotionally!
Now, because my 3 kids live there and because I personally have $30k in equity (and she has $220k in equity), this is no minor mistake. Despite talking with her several times, I doubt I’m getting the full story. She’s not stupid, but this was beyond dumb.
Seriously, what was she thinking?
So, while I like a break now and then, I would have much rather not had to have a break at all ….
