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: Price dropped to $6000.
(01/29/2016) This might be worth a look. I wonder if it has a Gov plate.

(08/11/2016) “Willys Jeep GWF, manufactured by Ford. I am 3rd owner. Restored to daily driver and parade participant. 1961 Jeep F head engine. WW2 Navy markings. New tires, battery. Needs brake job, but drivable if you really mash the pedal. Clean title, current license.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Looks ready to roll.
“This 1963 Willys Jeep FC-170 is a strong running example of the companys medium wheelbase Forward Control model, This FC-170 is powered by a super reliable and ready for work and fun 226ci Super Hurricane motor.
It is rare to find these trucks in nice condition today as most were worked very hard and then cast aside. This FC-170 was expertly painted in the popular factory offered combination of red and cream. This example retains its proper tailgate markings and factory badging. Glass is in good condition as well, a big plus as good replacements are difficult to find. The side-mounted spare and un-incorporated tail lights complete the look.
Used primarily for fair weather weekend driving this truck looks just as it did when restored. The FC-170 model offered a nice compromise between looks and utility, as shorter 150s have less cargo space and longer 180 and 190s tend to look a bit stretched and ungainly.
Inside the cab things are nicely kept and almost entirely OEM. All gauges, lights and switches work as designed, including the interesting single digit scaled speedometer.
Power comes from a Continental Super Hurricane L-head straight six. Displacing 226 cubic inches and rated for about 110 HP and 190 lb. ft. at very low revs, this one starts easily, runs smoothly and offer excellent reliability. Power is distributed through a floor-shift 4-speed manual and hi/lo range transfer case, and all four tires are new.
This Unique Willys FC-170 amazingly comes with its original New Jersey Title. This is an outstanding opportunity to own a unique and highly sought after chapter in Jeep History.”
Still needs some work, but runs and drives.
“we find this jeep in a barn covered up for 20 years. It now drives like bran new, has new brakes, new fuel system. The jeep is complete with the original tires that hold air! Come take a look and drive it. It’s a true jewel in very nice shape! ”

UPDATE: Still Available.
Looks like there’s value here.
“Time to get your restoration going, just in time for fall. I have decided to move on from this hobby and am selling all. I have two CJ3B’s in Portsmouth, the third is in Washington NH with the Car Trailer.
In Portsmouth:
1953 CJ3B Green with Cap and Plow- The motor was seized so has been sitting with Marvel Mystery Oil to free it up. This could be a great plow truck or candidate for restoration has a rare middle seat addition.
1963 CJ3B Red Mahindra Jeep. I had this running off a small fuel can, but the starter seized up so currently is not running. Someone before me spent a lot of time with the Body Filler. This would be a good restoration base or with a little work on the road now.
In Washington:
1955 Willy’s CJ3B this was a restoration project that started with a motor swap. A running motor was swapped in and the project stalled. Has now been sitting for ten years, Could be restored with the right hands.
Single place car trailer with brakes. The right front hub was seized up and it will need some tires. Has been sitting for a year with no use in five before that.
I also have some new parts: Tune up kit, Fuel lines, Hood Welting, Hood Blocks
I have two or three bins of other parts from various restoration projects. Some of these parts are in my garage in Greenland.”

“first, I was going to put this engine into my C-J-2 willys jeep I was restoring, then I thought I’d have to make a hole on top of the hood for the carburetor because it was to high. I found a 4-134-L flat head that was as good as this one, so I bought it and that’s what I finely put in. this motor runs very good, I have it on a stand if you want to hear it come and look. I do not take e-mail’s or text just call my phone”
UPDATE: Sold out of NJ for $9500.
It doesn’t run.
