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 $1500.
(05/14/2012) The grille isn’t from a ’46. Otherwise looks pretty stock.

UPDATE: Still Available
Complete Ramsey winch and front bumper for Willys Jeep fc170. Seldom do you see the complete set like this, would take quite a bit of time to track all the parts down. It is a heavy beast so shipping is something to consider. Wife likes to travel so might make some arrangements to deliver. Have more pictures if you want them.
The bumper has brackets for a front hitch that Bubba put on but you can easily grind them off. There is a dent in the bumper, how they could have done it I don’t know, but I think Bubba had something to do with that also. Anyway, I think it adds character and a story (no charge). Bumper was sand blasted and then painted with POR 15.
Prior owner said he cleaned and overhauled the winch and it looks like he did.
The PTO is not in the pictures but will go with it. Right now it is on MY FC because I haven’t found the cover plate to replace the PTO. I know I have one but it is in a very safe and secure place right now.
As far as I know it is complete but what you see is what you get.
Have some other fc parts for sale: gas tank, seats, rolling frame with engine, radiator, axles.
check out my other ad for fc170, can negotiate on a package deal.

This well done jeep model was built by a Macedonian who wants to own a real jeep some day. I believe he has the skills to take care of one!
He writes on youtube, “Model Jeep I spent 3 months on. I know it’s not perfect, but it’s better than nothing. Real WWII Jeeps in Macedonia are extremely rare, if not impossible to find. Also I thought it would be far more fun to built rather than buy a model Jeep. Work was done during the summer of 2009, 2-3 hours a day, often late into the night.”

Here’s a pic of the finished product:
This looks pretty solid. One of the commenters believes this might be an early GPW.
“Up for auction is my Jeep Willys MB in very restorable condition. Very solid body and no rust on frame.(Don’t let the pictures confuse you) The only rust on the body is on both sides of the head channels, approx. 4” long. Can be repaired without removing panels. 5 Original Combat rims with all new tubes & tires. Engine turns by hand. Tranny, 4 wheel drive, Hi/Low levers move freely as they should. Vehicle stears nicely and rolls freely.
My opinion is that this is an easily restorable project. The vehicle is 90% there, all original including almost all original E C marked bolts and early zipper style cushions. (see pics) There is the original front bumper and wooden filler. I believe that the body was never taken off the frame. Vehicle has clean transferable title. It is titled as a 1943 Jeep Willys Ut, which I’m not sure is accurit, since I don’t have the original data plates. Vehical originally came from California.
Please examine all pictures closely, so you can see what you’re bidding on and all that is included in this auction. Here is a link to the photo album of 90 pictures:

This looks very nice, though the drain hold near the step looks filled in, so I’d check out the body closely.
“1948 Willys jeep–IMMACULATE condition. New tires, shocks and bikini top. All original under the hood. I’m selling the vehicle because my new house doesn’t have adequate garage space to properly store the vehicle. I have $6000 in the vehicle but am selling it for $5000. This is a firm price so only call if you are serious. My cell is 318-617-4716.”

The paint on this looks weathered, or brushed or something odd. The body corners at the passenger and driver entrances have an unusual addition.

Mitch spotted this jeep and asked my opinion. I said that someone lazily painted everything red — the frame, the hmbs, the bolts, and more — which usually suggests that someone was simply trying to cover what is there (rust, dirt, etc). I also suspect that underneath the diamond plating in the back are holes or rust or something. It looks like there is some denting on the driver rear quarter panel, but that could be an optical illusion.”
Here’s another one Mitch spotted. The paint is faded and their is some rust along the real tailgate. I’m surprised to see a pintle on the back of this also.
