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 .
I saw this tonight and it brought back lots of memories of bubblegum cards I used to collect that had similar “Rat Fink” illustrations. These were done by Ed Roth.
Here is another flatfender design I found on this website: http://timlehi.blogspot.com/2011/03/ed-roth-rat-fink.html
This looks cool.
“These model car plans were taken from a book printed in the 1950s. Great for framing and numerous paper crafts. The plans are original and in good vintage condition. The image measures 5.5″ x 8″ and would look good in a 5″ x 7″ mat or frame. I’ll always include a gift in your order, (always vintage, of course) because presents make me happy.”

UPDATE: I was a bit off on the price. The real price is $375 and shipping is $30 in the US.
I jumped onto Etsy today and did a ‘Willys’ search. One of the things I spotted was this neat little jeep.
“Handmade Willy’s WWII Jeep. Made from Walnut, Cherry, and Maple wood. Lovingly hand cut, carved, and sanded with great attention to detail. Length – 10″ Height – 5 1/2″ Width – 5”

This appears in great shape.
“1953 Willys … Cranks and runs if you replace the fuel pump … body in great shape! Call Mike (225) 788-0982.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $475.
This doesn’t run, but there looks like plenty of parts.
“Jeep FC-170 (forward control) 4WD truck with flatbed. engine is a inline 6 cylinder, manual transmission. Needs work to get this unit running and driving. No title, will have to apply for a lost or abandon vehicle title. I am not sure what year it is. These were made between 1959 thru about 1963. This is a non running project unit so don’t call and ask me stupid questions like if it can be driven home. the answer is NO…bring a trailer to pick it up.”
Hard to see much from the pics. Either that body has been cut or it is an early prototype body of some type (I would guess the former).
“1950’s Jeep Willys CJ3A Serious Offers ONLY!
Body is in good shape has been completely Rhino Lined.
Tires like new. Needs motor. Would make a great project.

UPDATE: Was listed at $4500.
I’ve never seen fold-down seats in a jeep. I could see the practicality of that.
“1948 Willys
