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 .
Scott from The Willys Jeep Rally Event Committee sent over the reminder for the 2025 Willys Jeep Rally Event!
If you are in the area and able to attend please add this to your Spring To Do list!
We really appreciate everyone hanging in there with this transition.
Dave and I spoke today, it was good to catch up and chat.
As mentioned we are still working out the transition and will be back to regular posting real soon.
Spring is here in many parts of the eWillys world. Other spots still are getting some snow, there is always that off chance possibly of a storm here in NJ, but for the most part it won’t hang around that much.
I was able to get the Wagon and Willa Dean out already this year and had a few good drives.
Please remember there are some really cool upcoming events in the Willys world, if you have time to check one out please do and support your favorite Willys vendor or club sponsors.
I have seen some great giveaways from our Willys key vendors and it’s pretty awesome they can do that, it’s all of you who make that possible by supporting them.
Most of all it’s about getting out and meeting people and seeing old friends and making some new ones!

I personally never crossed paths with Brian in person but his videos are a great resource to our Willys community and will be missed.
Thank you Brian for all you have contributed to our small slice of the automotive world. You have helped alot of people over the years.
Good luck with your future endeavors!

Seller’s description
It’s for sale good running jeep. That’s not the price should know how much soon serious buyers only Motor 226 v6 super hurricane
Good Reminder Be Careful! Watch for SCAMS!
100% to me this ad was fake, it’ was posted on Craigslist out of Brooklyn, NY but it’s in the incorrect area of the site for Jeeps / Willys and vehicles in general.
The photos and description shared are from a different site where the rig was for sale for double the price
1952 Willys M38A1 – $12,000
1952 Willys M38 Military Jeep. Fully Restored, museum quality, no rust, always garage kept. This Jeep served in Korea. Lots of fun to drive, starts right up. Everything works, Horn, fuel gauge, wipers, lights, all gauges, everything.
Too good to be true it probably is…. it is a nice looking Willys.
Update: Says Pending on the ad. Not surprised these move quick!

FC170 really it’s parts of one. But not horrible and priced to move bring cash and hope you already have your trailer hooked up!

Seller’s Description
For sale or possibly trade
1962 jeep FC 170 drw
I have a clear oh title
It still has the hurricane flathead 6 engine
And transmission bellhousing.
Front axle, steering, front driveshaft
Cooling system all still there. Missing trans transfer case and rear axle
Frame is rough behind the cab
Glass is all in good shape, interior is pretty complete. I have both seats in great shape.
It did still run a couple years ago before the transmission was removed for another project. Definitely could be restored, or buy it for parts. Price negotiable open to trade
Hi all, Dave here. Yes, I’m still alive and breathing! Actually, I’m quite rested!
I recently bought a few cool items off eBay, so Tim said I could those items with you. I’ve got a couple brochures and a couple early Kaiser Willys Newspapers to post over the next week or so.
I should also mention that my eye surgery last week was successful, to the point that I now have 20/15 eye sight (an improvement from 20/200). It is SO awesome to be able to see again. Also, I can now see my computer screen now, which had become difficult by early November. I do have some excess floaters, which I hope will dissipate using a nutritional plan based on this Irish study; I figure there’s little to lose by trying it.
Just after Christmas we sold our breeder cows. By sold, I mean we traded future wrapped pork, plus a summer cow, which worked for both parties. So, I no longer have to deal with the cold and cows. We will still have a two or three summer cows, which means we will get them in the spring and butcher them in the fall.
Finally, I find myself involved with a French documentary crew who is making a documentary about my great great uncle Henry Farny, the western painter. I’ve become a liaison for them here in the US and they’ve asked me to participate, which might have be visiting Wyoming and/or Cincinnati in May, so I might even be able to make it out to the Willys Reunion (we’ll see how things go)! I am also thinking this might help springboard on a trip to Europe, but we’ll see (as they are filming in France and Germany, too).
Ann and I saw this Henry Farny painting in 2011 while it still hung at my great uncle Farny Eilers’ place in Connecticut. Painted in 1911, I’d estimate it was 5’x3′ at least? Sadly, I learned this week, it was auctioned after his death and now resides in Alabama. The frame’s label indicated it was called “The Good Old Times”, though an Alabama article does not mention the name at all.
If you would like to share your Willys with us for a future post please fill out this quick form.
These will not be For Sale post’s, more of a quick highlight of your Willys with some options and info on how you use it.
If there are any questions please let us know.
It’s probably possible to embed this into the site later on and automate the process, I’ve used JotForm for many years and it seems to work out.
Thanks for sharing, all submissions will be reviewed and post times will vary.
Happy New Year! Welcome 2025!
Everyone helping with eWillys wishes you the best for 2025 and hope you have a great New Year.
Thanks for the continued support and well wishes.
Especially want to say Thanks to Dave who has provided a great platform for all things Willys and with the continued help from a team of folks we charge ahead into 2025!
Happy New Year!
Just wanted to share some stuff on the backend, this will be a team effort and you will see some stuff from a few great Willys folks along the way.
Stuff like “Andy’s Picks”, and a few other tricks up our sleeves. Some other Authors are in the works, if they toss up a formal introduction or not, up to them really, but we will have some others helping post stuff. So be on the look out!
I think there is value in most anything but I don’t think we need to post just to post, to fill a certain quota. It may not be all ad’s all the time. The Authors may have some neat information to share or points of view on all things Willys.
Will try to keep the ad links up high in the posts for folks “in the know”, but if I’m learning it for the first time odds are I’m sharing that along the way because there probably is someone else who.csn use that link or knowledge, and maybe I get some comments and we all learn something new.
Vendors
One plan is to reach out to some of the quailty vendors who keep our Willys world working. Mostly to see what’s new or upcoming, maybe you have some special stock of something that might be of interest to others.
Vendor spotlight might be fun to hear a little bit about the history or start up. Probably will have a quick format for that process. No skin in the game here for us, just trying to get some good info out to folks for where parts can be sourced if you would like to talk and share a little at some point keep us in mind. More to come on this idea.
Events
Same for events, it’s great to share a link and that’s super easy, but what makes your event unique, any tips on travel or where to stay for guests from a far. I really like to know about any super tricky roads or access to the event, is there trailer parking for example.
We are able to do something a little more then just the link if your game to share we would love to help spread the word. It’s so much work to put these events on so happy to at a minimum share the link, but can also add some stuff if helpful.
Comments
Posts in general feel free to add a comment or more details if we get it wrong or there is a varying opinion. But please keep it respectful and positive.
Not required at all to comment or like a post. We don’t need to track any of that, but if you do like it or do not, always welcome to let us know so we can get some feedback. This is a non-political site, family oriented, so posts and comments will always be geared towards that.
If the year is posted for a rig and it’s wrong I typically post the year as per the ad, but will add a comment if it’s a Salad or just not what it is. Sometimes that’s also on purpose to keep all of us on our toes.
Contact Us
Work in progress, while we have a temporary email set up for now, I’m waiting to see if we can fix the site mail in the next few weeks before we post it up, so leave a comment for now and we will get it, if it needs to be off line let us know and we can reach out, you won’t need to share your email in the comment, it comes across the backend.
Thank You!
I really appreciate everyone who has reached out and overall supported me or the site over the years. It’s been a good start and as we get things sorted should be an enjoyable spot to check out from time to time.
Thanks, Tim
