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 $2000
This has the unusual window along with a rear PTO. This might be an interesting find for the right military restorer. I rarely see these windshields.

This appears to have a MB body, but it’s been modified: A tailgate added and steps changed.
“Nice Project for Dad & Son to work on. Back injury keeps me from working on jeep.”

UPDATE: Gordon points out that a “Crummy” is a term for a forest worker truck, typically a “six-pack” crew cab or a suburban or van type vehicle.

(08/03/2010) The engine runs — looks like a good price.
“1959 Willys jeep good condition ,cracked windshield but I have another wind shield to replace it with, Hard top and doors ( Aluminum ), a soft top came with Jeep when I bought it. Just started to sand and clean old paint and remove body tub for restore but like so many other things life got in the way. There are no rusted through areas and almost no surface rust . I just do not have enough time in the day to do everything . So, if your looking for a nice restore project here it is . The engine runs but has some smoke . I towed it home no unwanted noises or problems but I’m just starting a complete restore on it, not sure whats ahead . I know the value of this Jeep and the possibilities it holds. I’m willing to Barter or sell for cash Send me an e-mail and lets talk. Put ” 1959 ” in the subject in the line or the e-mail will be DELETED……….. THANK YOU”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $18,000.

The 2nd Annual Northwest FC Get Together was this past weekend in Olympia. Josue was kind enough to forward some images from the event and give his take on it.
Josue writes, “Last weekend was the first opportunity I have had to visit a Jeep get-together. It wasn’t a huge turnout but it was definitely worth visiting. The meet-up was in Olympia, WA and it was specifically for Forward Control Jeeps. This was the second year and only about 8 showed up, although I’m sure it will get bigger with time. It was fun talking to a few people and seeing a couple of them run.” Thanks Josue!
Colin’s friend Al has got a nice collection of Willys. Colin forwarded a few pics of Al’s jeeps with some notes. Nice looking vehicles Al!
Colin writes, “I attached a photo of a CJ2A [al toy] that I did for a buddy of mine sitting on the hood of his August-built 1945 CJ2A with column shift, rebuilt with a lot of the leftover MB stuff that Willys used to get the first CJs on the road.
Al also has a 47 2WD wagon, a 49 Willys truck and a 49 Jeepster that is undergoing a repowering with a 55 Chrysler 331 Hemi, 727 trans, Mustang II front suspension and 56 Corvette rear end. Aside from body work and paint, Al does all the work himself and does an excellent job. The shot of the wagon with whitewall tires is the same wagon. Amazing what a set of wide whites will do for a car.”
UPDQTE: **SOLD** Was $18,500.
I’ve spent a good chunk of time in Watsonville. I built a ballet studio there. I actually danced in a Nut Cracker Ballet during that period, too. That was for ex-wife #2. Hmmm … Let’s talk about the truck instead …. Here’s a beautiful truck. Check out the bumper in the last pic.
“47 Willys Pickup; 327; 4 Speed; 4 inch chopped top; 6 inch extended cab; power steering; new upholstery; sprayed on bedliner; driven 200 miles since completionk; $18,500 OBO;”
