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 .
This is a press release from July 11, 1957, announcing the FC-170. It contains four pages and is printed on 8.5×11″ paper.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6750.
Bruce spotted this one. The seller is incorrect that this is a M606 style body.
“1962 Willys CJ3b Jeep 70,200 miles in good running condition. Olive drab M606 military style body is 99% rust free.
Comes with pioneering tools (ax & shovel) spare tire, spare fuel can, pintel hitch & bumperettes.
Engine is a Willys “L” head Four cylinder 134ci that does smoke a little but runs smoothly. Transmission is the T-90 3 speed. Warn lock out hubs were installed.
The front seats are original and in solid condition, the rear seat is is from a CJ5. The Jeep is topless.
I have owned this 3b for over 30 years and many parts have been replaced over time. She is not perfect but in very good condition for a 50 year old Jeep.
Please call to arrange a time to see this classic.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.

Engine is out. This seller includes an engine from an old welder that runs. It may have low miles.
“1958 Jeep FC150 Forward Control project truck. 4 wheel drive Classic. This is a small limited production Jeep with a lot of character. Need to sell because my kids soccer now takes all my project time. Engine is out but I have one for it that you can hear run, it is the same motor that came with the FC150, an f134 hurricane currently mounted on a welding trailer, fairly low hours. Everything else is there. Tires hold air. Needs restoration but is a solid truck, the glass is all intact. No title. Call Joe at 320 Seven 6 one, 17 four five if interested.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
(08/16/2012) This looks good.
“Engine runs good. Starts up right away. ( I was told the engine was rebuilt ) It moves under it’s own power, however, the brakes recently went out ( left rear cylinder bad )
It received a ‘quicky’ paint job by a previous owner. ( Rust has been repaired ) The interior has been re-done. It has a passenger ‘bench’ seat. ( rare option ? ) I’m told the truck originally came from Missouri.”
UPDATE: Price bumped up to $3500.

(09/10/2012) Apparently this has a few bugs.
“Restored with 800 miles, 37,000 prior to that. Ebay buy that had a buggered up engine mount and “details” that need attention , being done by someone who knows right from wrong.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $500.
(10/18/2012) Well, if that isn’t a confusing body. I *think* that is a repro CJ body (with the M-38-like tool indents on the passenger side) with a tail gate that someone has added a glove box. Of course, it could be a MB body to which someone cutout the tailgate and added tool indents?
“For Sale is a 1946 Willys CJ2A, was a restore project but do not have the time to start it and have to clear out the drive way. Complete rolling chasis Jeep was originally restored in 1980’s made to look like an MB.Complete drive train with original 4cyl “GoDevil” L134. Engine needs to be rebuilt. Not running.
