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 $4000.
(08/08/09) It looks good.
“Ford 302 V8, runs. Like new 33X12.50 Tires and wheels. Three speed with overdrive. Does need some work. I did some work on it last summer and haven’t touched it since. Picture was from last summer right after work was done. Asking 4000 OBO.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
(10/11/09) The jeep appears mostly stock, though there are minor issue. Given it doesn’t run, I suspect the price will drop.
“Original engine, trans, transfer case, with matching numbers. Needs a frame up resto. Doesn’t run. Please email me for more info.. Firm on price.”
Sebastian has forwarded a couple great pics from Columbia. I love the colorful jeeps against the colorful buildings. Thanks!
He writes, ” I received these Pictures from a very good friend. They are from a small town called “Filandia”. This is a typical picture of these kinds of towns, many Willys (especially CJ-3Bs) group in the middle of the town, next to the stores so people use them as taxis after buying groceries. As you can see they are pretty much stock even though some modifications have been done to improve performance. Keep in mind this is not a Willys ride, a car show, or anything like that; it is just s typical day in Filandia. The pictures only show a few, but you can usually see more than 20 together. Their drivers have been doing this for so many years and usually with the same vehicles. They always tell you they will never sell their Willys since they have provided a way of living for almost 50 years. Finding a Willys in Colombia is no problem, finding someone willing to sell it is a different story. Enjoy.”

(08/16/09) It appears in good shape.
“1946 willys jeep for sale. Upgraded to a V-6 motor, lots of power. Beefed up transmission with low miles and new rear end with even lower miles. Used only for hunting. Serious inquiries only.
UPDATE: Was $20,950. **SOLD**
It looks in pretty good shape.
“1961 Willys Jeep FC-150 Pickup. Original 78 horsepower four cylinder engine, three speed manual transmission, 5.13 geared Dana 44 axles front and rear. High and low range four-wheel-drive. Brand new reproduction Firestone 7.00-15 military lug tires on factory 15” steel wheels. This is a rust-free 32,000 original mile California desert truck that has less than 500 miles on a body-off-frame restoration. These trucks were built on the CJ-5 platform and featured a cab-forward body and a small pickup bed. Only 1,298 1961 FC-150’s were ever built and there are only a handful left in this condition. Beautiful Mountain Green Poly and Palm Beach Ivory two-tone with beige interior. Very reliable and can be driven anywhere. Top speed of about 55 MPH but will pull a house down the road. “Tool Time” Tim Taylor just paid $40,000 for one of these trucks in similar condition at the recent Arizona auctions, this truck can be bought for only $20,950.”
UPDATE: Pics added. Price dropped to $1700.
This looks like a good deal.
“1962 CJ3B. Original F Head Engine, 3spd Transmission, and Twin Stick Transfer Case. Tub is in good shape no holes in floorboards. Has some surface rust. $1700.
Glass fuel filter/mechanical fuel pump. electric fuel pump was added by previous owner. Has original gauges and fire wall data plate, original low back seats. Body is in average condition. minor rust, nothing that cant be fixed. Tub is solid. No Bondo. Original Orange paint faded and flaking in spots. Overall a good High Hood worthy of being restored. I have two other Jeep projects so this one has to go. Title is clear.”

UPDATE: See comments.
This looks like a great price on a running MB. It’s not completely original, but who cares at that price.
“1945 Willys Jeep for sale. Set up as hunting rig with double gun rack in between front seats. Operational 4WD. F-Head motor which starts and runs. Tow bar attached. PTO winch. Comes with 2 sets of tires and wheels (5 in each set). Can arrange delivery within a reasonable distance. Price negotiable within reason, feel free to try me. Thanks!”
I love this one. Talk about a utilitarian vehicle!
“1953 Willys Jeep. Runs real good. Has plenty of power for plowing snow. Decent tires. No brakes but don’t need them for plowing. This is quite a conversation piece. Has a John Deere seat on it. Would be great for trails up north or just riding around like you do with a golf cart. Four wheel drive. This has a unique power take off that runs the front wench. Comes out of the back of the transmission. Worth taking a look at. Call Bill with any questions @ 810-516-7350.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“THANK YOU FOR CHECKING OUT MY 1963 JEEP FORWARD CONTROL. IF YOU ARE INTO EXTREME FOUR WHEELING THIS TRUCK IS FOR YOU!! MY JEEP IS ON THE ROAD WITH A CURRENT NY STATE INSPECTION (PASSED THE FIRST TIME THROUGH). KEEP IN MIND I MADE IT FOR OFF ROAD USE AND I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND AS AN EVERYDAY DRIVER. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT TO LOCAL OFF ROAD EVENTS WITH NO PROBLEMS. THIS JEEP HAS JUST BEEN FEATURED IN JP AND FOUR WHEELER MAGAZINE. BOTH MAGAZINES ARE AVAILABLE NOW IF YOU WANT TO READ UP ON THIS FC AT THE TOP TRUCK CHALLENGE IN HOLLISTER CALIFORNIA”

It looks pretty rough and needs to be push started.
“I AM TOLD THIS IS A 1951 CJ-3A MODEL WE HAVE NO PAPER WORK, BUT IT CAN BE OBTAINED IN MOST STATES. THE JEEP RUNS GOOD, BUT IT HAS TO BE PULL STARTED. THE STARTER NEEDS SOME WORK.
