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 .
A full hardtop is included.

“‘47 2A. Runs and drives well. Exhaust leak somewhere and has typical drips but other than that very solid. I have a passenger under seat storage container, hardtop and full doors with glass, Jerry can and holder (unmounted) and heater. 8000lb winch works well. Growing young family and unfortunately not toddler friendly. My loss is your gain. Asking $10,500. Southern Maine”
This seems worth a look.

“Selling my Willys CJ2A. It has a clean Colorado title that says it’s a 46, but many things are different and new. It has a new 3A windshield with glass, an M38 sun top, glove box, and is 12 volt. Everything works including wipers, horn and lights. It has a new rear floor mat, radiator, carburetor, brakes and lines, head gasket, tie rod ends, and steering stabilizer. The jeep fires right up and runs great. I’m selling it to hopefully get a WWII 40 to 45 MB.”
Runs and drives.

“This is a great running 1946 Willys Jeep. I have the proper seat frames that are period correct and will be included on the sale. Located in the Texas panhandle near Canyon Texas.”
This may have been a border patrol FC. It’s got a rare set of early Husky hubs.

“1962 jeep FC170 I’ve got this jeep in 2012 from Arizona .It’s been in my garage sense then I haven’t done anything to. It looks to be complete non running but the motor will turn. It has pto winch and a rare four speed transmission.it needs a lot of work but it is very solid and I have the seats and a clean AZ title.”
What does the box next to the driver’s step do? There is not one on the passenger side.

“580 six zero three 2750 Calls are best, text is okay, messenger is not likely. I am selling/ screening for my friend. If you sound legit, I can pass your information on to him. This Willys is exceptionally good condition compared to 90 percent of the normals. Starts easy, and drives good. Minimal rust (see pics, new tires, new fuel tank, remote oil filter kit, 12 volt system. Ready to go, and has a tow bar if you don’t want to drive it home.”
These are described as MBs, but it looks like one has a GPW front cross member. They are located on Orcas Island, which requires taking the ferry. A truck plus a two-vehicle trailer will probably require a $325 ferry ticket (truck 15′ + trailer 30′), if I am reading the fare schedule correctly.

“Two 1943 Willys MB Jeeps FOR SALE
Selling two vehicles together – $7,000/Both OBO
We purchased these in 2010 from a Military Surplus outfit in the Grants Pass, Oregon area. We tinkered on them over the years, both have run and were driven in the past on our land. Not currently running. These are two separate restoration projects. I have the original paperwork from the military surplus seller including the title for the camo one; the blue one is untitled. The old license plates on the vehicles were there at the time of our purchase. We never transferred title to our name. For purchase, I will provide two Bills of Sale plus title for the camo one and statement of fact about the blue one. You can apply for title for the blue jeep and get a VIN assigned as outlined by WA State DMV for vehicle without title.
Camo painted jeep: 1943 Willys MB – title in hand. This jeep clearly spent time in Europe and likely remained in post war service in Germany. (It has some parts with labels written in Deutsch). This jeep is fully intact and mostly original. Key included. Seats all included and recovered. Spare tire mount and tire included. Bimini frame included (no canvas). Jerrycan holders included and mounted. Frame intact. Surface rust throughout, and rust through hole on the mounting steps and adjoining side panel.
Blue painted jeep: untitled, estimated to be similar vintage (same grill style) as the camo MB so early 1940s. Key included. Appears to be modified: i.e no bench seat, and gas tank is fabricated and located at the rear (where a bench seat would have been). Frame intact, surface rust throughout, no holes.

I’m unclear why someone would use a 2A body for a trailer …

“There’s a Ford Pinto motor in it that ran when it was parked last in Arizona but needs work to get running again. Lived in Southern Arizona for most of it’s life so hasn’t see much moisture. Needs fuel line, battery, ignition, carburetor”
After a week+ with our well out of commission we once again have well water. The culprit was our well pump, which had lost its bearing. Reassembly of the well pump took an extra day as our pump is a 3HP 40GPM pump, which took extra time to find. I also learned our that our water table appears to start about 6′ below the surface and our well is sits at about 110′.
I am not all that familiar with well-setups, but the “George’s”, our well guys were both named George, were impressed, with one telling me that he now wants to set up his well water system with a cistern and secondary pump so he can keep the water pressure high (when the irrigation is running our water pressure is still strong for showers, etc).
Meanwhile, I got more wiring done on the FC. I also built the bracket to hold the e-brake line and the fuel pump, which is now mounted closer to the tank.
Finally, I snagged a few new brochures off eBay, so I will share those in the next week or so. I should have some updates Friday morning.
Pulling the well pipe. The well head sits right next to the shop:
