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 .
Here’s a buyer for a Governor if you have one for sale.
“Looking for a governor for a Willys 4 cylinder Jeep engine. Belt drive. Needed for an older Hobart welder. would consider buying entire welding machine for parts. Darrold 406-265-2166”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
“THIS IS A VERY OLD AND ROUGH WILLYS FC-150 JEEP. IT IS NOT ROAD WORTHY, AND MOST LIKELY NEVER WILL AGAIN. MATTER OF A FACT IT HAS ONE WHEEL OR MORE IN THE JUNK YARD. I FIGURED BEFORE I TURN IT OVER FOR SCRAP I WOULD GIVE ANYONE WHO MIGHT USE IT FOR A FEW PARTS A CHANCE. ALL THE RUNNING GEAR IS STILL WITH IT. THE WHEELS STILL TURN AND BY SOME MIRICLE STILL HOLD 30 PSI OF AIR. IT HAS BEEN SITTING AROUND FOR A GOOD 10 YEARS THE BODY IS SHOT, MOST WINDOWS ARE DAMAGED. THE FRAME HAS HAD A WOOD REPAIR IN BACK, YUP WOOD. THE MOTOR COVER HAS BEEN REMOVED, SORRY I GAVE THAT AWAY. THE MOTOR STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL OIL AND ANTI FREEZE AND MOTOR TURNS OVER EASLY BY HAND. THERE IS NO TITLE, NO REGISTRATION, NO NOTHING.”
UPDATE: Was $4000. *SOLD*
This truck has some nice updates. The seller would prefer to trade for an equivalent Wagon.
“1948 willys jeep pickup. 230 chev six with headers. 12v conversion. ele fan. bigger drum brakes. floater ford rearend. heater. power sterring. bucketseats. Asking $4000 but would prefer to trade for a 50’s jeep station wagon 4X4 in good running licensed condition like mine. I Dont care about body condition, just mechanical.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
This old Jeep has an unusual paint job.
“About as original as it get. Has been setting, but a new battery, a little carb work and a repacking of the wheel bearings and you can peel its cloths off and enjoy the coming warm weather. Lotts of extra part included at that price.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
(03/08/2010) Based on the pics, this looks in pretty good condition for a East Coast FC-150.
“1957 Jeep Willys FC150 , CAB FOWARD narrow track , 134 Hurricane ?, 3 speed, Dana 18 transfer case, wooden flatbed. Bought last fall with the hope of frame off restore but no time and other project is neglected. Earlier restoration. That work is starting to bubble. Prior owner was a Jeep collector / enthusiast that rebuilt entire vehicle and worked it building a home in NH, motor and tranny also. Motor Runs great, drove good. Brakes need to be gone over (sticking). I drove it last fall around the block a few times. You could spend a few hours sorting out the brakes and be on the road the same day. Easy project, comes with abunch of extra parts that I have gathered but will pass along with the truck: Extra / Spare T-90 side shift tran, Dana 18, narrow track radiator (very rare), Replacement steel lower Cab corners and steel wheel well shapes, valance panel, extra dog house and more. Saturn Overdrive available but not included. It most urgently needs brake service / cleaning, driver floor patch (small flat), and door weather striping. To be really nice it will need some body work and paint. Wheels and tires in pic are not included as I want them for my other project. $1800”
There are some new Bantam and MB testing photos at Life Magazine. There are some great closeups of the Bantam. Note the first pic — I believe that is the first ‘jeep’ ever stuck in the mud; it surely wasn’t the last! All six of these photos were taken by David E. Scherman in 1940.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
“1956 Military Jeep 1958 Willys 1/4 Ton Jeep metal cab. Asking $3500 O.B.O. ”
The bidding is over on this FC. It sold for $1525, which looks like it might be a pretty good price.
“We are selling a 1960 Willys Jeep truck 4 wheel drive. It was purchased by my father in Aug. 1984. My father and mother both drove it. It has been sitting here on the farm for sometime. My father passed away and we are cleaning up some of the things on the farm. We have tried to show the condition of the body in our pictures. We hooked jumper cables to it and the motor did turn over. It ran when it was parked. We do not know a lot about it other than what we can get off the stickers and tags on the vehicle. We are selling it as is. NO warrenty. We aired the tires and they seem to be holding. It has a spare tire with it. How good it is we’re not sure. It looks pretty good. It has a Hurricane – 4 engine. Valve clearance-cold, intake .018, Exhaust .o1o, firing order 1-3-4-2, milage reads 52,184.16. It uses regular gasoline. It is Forward FC150 control Jeep Four Wheel Drive. AS far as we know it is the original motor and all else is original. It is a stick shift. Weight limit is 5,000#. The inside is with out the headliner. The door panels are there but in bad shape. The windows are all in but some are broken and will need to be replaced.I have tried to describe this auto the best I can. If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me. I will answer the best I can.”
It looks in very good condition.

Looks good.
“1946 Jeep Willys CJ-2A, all original and completely mechanically restored! This car is very collectible, but still a very capable Jeep to drive. I have owned this Jeep for 25 years, and spent over $5k restoring original engine and mechanical system less than 50 miles ago. Jeep features all original major components, and starts and runs with ease. Jeep has been garaged at least since I’ve owned it, and has virtually no rust. Jeep is in excellent mechanical condition, and good/fair cosmetic condition.
-Restored original “L-134 Go-Devil” engine and mechanical (I-4, 3 speed manual trans)
-New tires
-New battery
-New fuel tank and system
-New seats
-Mechanical winch
-Bumper for mounted tow-bar
I’m asking $9,450 for this Willys, and would consider a trade for a CJ-7 in good condition. Delivery not included, you must come pick it up (I’m near Lake Lavon in Collin County). Please send me an email with any questions. Serious inquiries only please.”
