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 $2100
It doesn’t run at the moment, but seller hopes to have it running soon. Looks like it has some character to me.
“1954 Willy’s Jeep. Last driven in 1999. I believe it needs a 2nd gear synchro, because it liked to pop out of 2nd gear. I hope to have it running again in a couple of weeks. ( I have to get the carb back on.) Has some broken glass, the seats are rough, but it has very little rust. The hydraulic plow worked well. US Army #20987240.”
UPDATE: Was $2500. Status Unknown.
“Up for sale is our 1957 Jeep FC170, forward control. This was to be a project for my son and I but the body work is over our head. This truck is highly collectible and complete, everything is here including a new windshield and service manual. This is a 4wd vehicle with locking hubs in the front. The engine is the 6 cylinder with a 4 speed manual transmission and 2 speed Dana Spicer transfer case.
This would make a great father and son project, or can be used for parts. The body is extremely rusty and will need extensive work. I’ve attached as many photos as possible so that you can see everything.
We would consider a trade for something of equal value, possibly another Jeep CJ, Wrangler, Land Cruiser, Trooper, MG, sports car, Triumph, or other 4×4.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
This looks like a good price on a trailer.
“This is a 1947 Marine Jeep Trailer made by Banta. Trailer is in complete working order. As expected, a few small dents and rust spots. Hitch has been replaced to be used by a normal vehicle. Wiring has been refurbished and is in great shape.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $19,500.

Amazing that this survived.

Here’s a great vintage postcard on eBay.

Here’s an interesting photo Marc forwarded.

UPDATE V: This scam disappeared from the world, thankfully.
UPDATE IV: After being deleted this is back on eBay again. A bidder decided to bid $50,000. Someone’s playing with the seller.
=====================
UPDATE III: Mike alerted me that some of these pics are now on an ebay auction. Person selling it is listed as brand new profile on Jan 19, 2014. I see no reason to doubt it is still a scam. It has been reported as potentially fraudulent.
================================
UPDATE II: This scam has appeared on Craigslists. Lance forwarded pictures he received from the scammer. There are 17 total.
UPDATE: John looked into this scam and received the following email. It appears this seller is likely running the Google Wallet Scam (which I’d never heard of).
I am glad that you are interested in my Jeep Willys . It's a Orig Matching #'s Jan 1943 Ford GPW Army Jeep Willys Military . This jeep was completely taken down, sandblasted, and all of the rust was cut out and replaced with new metal. This jeep has been completely gone threw. The engine, T-84 transmission (gear box), Transfer case, breaks, steering box, Axles, starter, generator, Radiator, Carter WO Carb, voltage regulator, water pump and distributor have ALL been rebuilt by professional shops and receipts can be provided for all parts. The engine has a two year warranty. The Firestone tires, wiring harness, spare data plates, gas tank, tail lights and horn are all new replacements and are 100% correct. The jeep is still its original 6 volt configuration. The seat covers are new . All of the combat rims are strait originals. The battery is brand new and this jeep starts, drives, shifts and stops with no problems at all . I legally own a clear title, free of any liens or loans, under my name. Not interested in a trade and my final price is $4,500. Just want to sell it ASAP, I am using Google Wallet as my ex-wife suggested, she also sold her car, without any headaches! First of all please let me know where are you located ? I will also need to know if you require a loan ? Or the funds are available ?
============================
This scam is back. I found ads in several places across the US yesterday.
