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 $125
There are two rims of two different sizes.
“set of turbine rims with chrome caps. 2-15″ x 8″ & 2-15″ x 10”. big ford bolt pattern (5 bolt). $125”
I can’t remember seeing hurricane rims like this with the ribs extending into the bolt area.
“These are 5 lug wheels with a 5 1/2 inch bolt pattern. $150. Call 503-256-5240 or 971-219-0678 and visit http://garydunnchevparts.com”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a no reserve auction that starts at $800. Note this has the dually connectors on the rear and the engine runs.
“1960 JEEP FC 170. DUEL WHEEL, ALL WHEEL DRIVE. 6 CYL. FLATHEAD 4 SPD. ENGINE RUNS, WAS RECENTLY USED AS YARD PLOW. 29,148 MILES. HAVE MANY EXTRA PARTS INCLUDING FRONT AND REAR CAB CORNERS. GOOD GLASS. HAS AFTERMARKET RADIATOR WITH COOLING FAN MOUNTED ON REAR OF CAB, SEEMS TO WORK FINE. PLEASE CALL WITH ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING AS VEHICLE IS SOLD AS IS. ”
This has an unusual story. This was damaged in 1962 and never run again. It has 1,231 original miles.
“For Sale: 1961 willys CJ5. Has 1,231 original miles. It was hit in the rear in 1962 and never used again. The previous owner removed the damaged rear quarter, wheel well, back floor pan and tail gate and purchased OEM body parts, but never reassembled it. The Jeep has been stored inside since 1962. I have what appears to be the entire vehicle awaiting reassembly. The transmission and transfer case were opened by the original owner and are missing some parts along with having rust inside.
Although it has been hit and needs to be reassembled, it has no heavy rust or rust-through, only surface rust. The engine and axels are in tact and the chassis rolls.

I wonder if this comes with any Fire Department extras. I don’t see any on there right now.
“This is a M38A1 ex military , ex fire department jeep. easy to restore or drive and use like it is!!!”
UPDATE: Still Available
(05/17/2008) Here’s an abandoned sand jeep project. Might be some usable parts for someone. This is the same seller as the CJ-3A below.
“Sand Jeep Project. 1948 Willy’s Jeep. Dana 60 5 lug rear, postal jeep front, roll cage, seat mounts, set up for 500 Cadillac and TH400. Engines available. Have clear Washington title. $300. Call Dave @ 503-572-9725”
UPDATE: I deleted the 2nd truck I had listed, as Bill correctly pointed out that it wasn’t a WC51 at all.
I’m helping someone value this WC52 WWII Dodge Truck. I’m pretty sure the WC52 runs (only just over 10,000 were made).
Here is a pic. If anyone can provide some feedback to me, just email me privately (d@ewillys.com).
WC-52:
Randy forwarded me an announcement that Bill Mauldin has been honored with a stamp, shown below.
According to the email Randy sent me, “Mauldin, and his work, meant much to the millions of Americans who fought in World War II, and to those who had waited for them to come home. He was a kid cartoonist for Stars and Stripes, the military newspaper; Mauldin’s drawings of his muddy, exhausted, whisker-stubbled infantrymen Willie and Joe were the voice of truth about what it was like on the front lines.”
Here is a pic of the stamp, followed by Mauldin in a jeep.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2750. It includes a top. Looks like a great price. Brett noted that the seller updated the listing because the overdrive was incorrectly listed as a PTO.
(11/14/09) “1946 Willy CJ-2A Jeep, Strong 289 V8, 3-Speed transmission with Overdrive, extra Transmission & Transfer case, Rancho Shocks, 32” x 11.5 x 15 w/ Chrome Rims, Full soft top with doors, Bimi top, Front bumber tow mount, Back seat, rear rack with two 5 gal. gas cans. Lots of extra parts and accessories. $2750.”
