About eWillys
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.
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 .

Mini Willys Jeep Body, Frame, Engine (Project) $1,000Sutton, MA
Neat little project, never priced these out so no clue on value here, but it does look like some decent detail in the body kit. Folks convert the riding mowers into some really neat small trail rigs, this would look neat in that fashion.
Information from seller:
All steel mini Jeep body and tractor frame. Body includes hood, grille, windshield (folds down, no glass), seat and top bows. Tractor frame and mower deck included in price. Has engine but I’ve never run it so I don’t know if it runs. Bought as a project but don’t have time to take on right now.
1950 CUSTOM BUILT JEEP WILLYS CJ3 Crosley Wagon Beach Cruzer Sanford, ME
Andy’s Picks
Odd-Bod 2A in ME. Answers the question for me of “Would the Crosley look cool mashed up with a Willys?”
(Tim’s Notes: Fathers Day is right around the corner so if you are looking for that one of a kind gift for that Dad who is hard to buy for, I was very surprised when I clcked the link, but 100% give them the Creative Award and it runs and drives and that’s a lot more then a lot of my projects!)
Information from Seller:
ONE OF A KIND JEEP WILLYS cj3 nose with 1948 Crosley wagon body a MG HEALEY DRIVE TRAIN 4 cylinder 4 spd manual transmission
custom frame CUSTOM HOOD SEATS FLOORS.
This gets more attention than my $50k muscle car and it’s not your everyday antique car .
Custom station wagon that runs drives stops(clutch needs bleeding to drive).
Updated electronic ignition new clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder.
The car was purposely made to look rusty but IS NOT RUSTY the frame and underneath are clean.
LIGHTS WORK just needs finishing touches. It’s a conversation piece I put a lot of time in restoring it to be a rolling advertisement must be seen to appreciate.
There is around $$8000 in just the built of this panel wagon creation
I am hoping to get $4800 or I am willing to trade this for a side by side utv antique truck or maybe a jeep jk wrangler. I will add cash for good trade offers and want cash for not so good trade offers. If you like jeeps cj Willy’s this is one of a kind
These 6×6 trucks were made in many different configurations, beginning in 1951 (and yes built by Kaiser as well as AM General in later years). Lots of good information about the series here on Wikipedia, and also on SteelSoldiers.com (a great website by the way, if you’ve never visited).
Here’s a bit on the XM818 from Wikipedia:
“Tractor trucks were used to tow semi-trailers up to 37,500 lb (17,000 kg) with 15,000 lb (6,800 kg) on their fifth wheel. Semi-tractor/trailers have to stay on relatively flat ground, and are not rated for full off-road use. On improved roads they could tow up to 55,000 lb (25,000 kg) with 25,000 lb (11,000 kg) on their fifth wheel.”
Pretty significant towing capacity(!) and although the bid is only ~$300 currently, it is listed as non-running, so I wonder…how would you ever get this home?
This would definitely be a cool project if you have the time, knowledge and space! (And I’m betting you’d have the only one when you show up to your local “Cars and Coffee”!)
A Note on Auctions
See the end of this post for some hints and tips about bidding on these types of auctions.
Fast forward to the Spring Willys Reunion in North Canton, OH. While talking to some friends, I saw an FC-150 pull into the motel parking lot. As the driver parked, I could see a PTO on the rear! An FC-150 Farm Jeep in the wild. I quickly tracked down the owner, Seth Hensler. Seth, who goes by the name of “redeye_garage” on social media, was kind enough to give me a tour of the FC’s PTO setup.
For demonstration purposes, Seth has attached a fertilizer spreader. You can see more details in this picture.
Seth has a YouTube channel where you can see more of the FC-150, including this one that shows the PTO working at an antique machinery show –
We will soon add FC-150 information from Seth and others to the Farm Jeep site. In the meantime, please let us know if you have seen an FC-150 as a Farm Jeep at a show or in the wild. You may leave a comment here or contact me at barry@farmjeep.com
Submitted and authored by Barry of www.farmjeep.com. Thanks Barry for the story look forward to seeing if anyone else has some information on FC-150’s used as Farm Jeeps.
**Removed link to ad, will keep the photos up the rig is pretty cool still, but was marked as a Scam post. Which happens quite a bit on all levels. We try to vet them out as best possible. Thanks.

They are very different from a regular CJ five they had higher geared rear ends column shift split front seats chrome bumpers chrome windshield stands crown windshield lock crown tail lights Crome license plate bracket that folds down Four-wheel-drive and the rare Surrey package was only available in pink blue or light green.

UPDATE II: Ray sent some pics of a Husky he built in 1992. (Also, if you are in the UK, I know of a Husky kit jeep for sale in Jersey)
Ray built this RLT Husky R.V. atop a Ford Escort MK2 chassis. It took Ray 2 years to build his rig. He combined the kit with original parts. As you can see, it is one of the more authentic looking Husky-jeeps built from the kit. Ray sold his RLT Husky in 1995.
============================
Originally posted August of 2013:
Sometimes called the Husky R.V. or the R.L.T. Husky, this Jeep Kit was sold out of the UK and used atop a Ford Taurus or Ford Escort Mark IV (and other cars?). It was available for an unknown period during the 1980s and 1990s.
“R.V. – Rugged and Versatile aptly describes these tough, reliable and inexpensive all-weather vehicles. The unique exterior MDF body combines great strength with structural rigidity and will not rust, crack, craze or splinter, yet is easy to repair.
The sturdy steel chassis, with substantial (de)fenders front & rear, is built for long life, stability and to cope with rugged conditions. Seating can vary from 2 fronts with a rear load space, which can be fitted with forward, rearward or inward facing rear seats, accessed via a ‘walk-thru’ from the front can be accommodated by simple modification to the cutting and assembly process, or the rear zip up rear hood window, with or without the optional opening tailgate
Fold-flat windscreen. Ford front engine/RWD ensures safe predictable handling, amazing traction and reliable mechanics. Nimble as an Escort, the HUSKY turns tighter than a London Taxi and yet provides a comfortable ride even over rough terrain. Safety options include a hefty Roll Bar, front Nudge Bar and chassis mounted Side Impact bars/steps”
