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 .
Looks in good shape.

“Has correct Frame. Was used by the French Army after WW2 until the late 70s when it was sold to the public. It was then returned to the US and restored in the early 90s.
It comes with the Canvas top, window cover, all the tools, Cold weather kit, Desert kit, New tires and tubes .30 cal with mount, and lost of extra parts.
There is one tear in the driver side seat but easy to replace. Still has 6v system. Rebuilt radiator and engine last year. The cylinder head is not original”
It will need some work.

“This cj3b was recently converted to fuel injection (Hamilton system) and runs like a top (just doesn’t stop to well at the moment). This conversion was new gas tank, new in-tank pump, new fuel lines, throttle body fuel injection, ECM, Omix electronic distributor modified for full timing control, new painless wiring harness. This thing starts easy, idles well, and purrs.
Other recent upgrades. Front disc brakes – all new. All new tie rod ends, lots and lots of holes plugged, worst of the rust and damage repaired. New bumper. All new gauges. Brand new Patagonia Milestars.
Not working – I pulled the master cylinder and have a new double circuit master cylinder here and ready to go in. If I get time I will install it. But, right now it only has the hand brake.
It needs some more body work, but once the brake are done, this is a driver.”
This seems to be in original condition. The wood is in excellent shape if original, but I’ve not seen original examples of bows myself.

“A good condition snow plow blade and frame off of a 62 Willys
CJ jeep. All parts included. You remove from Jeep.
Extra hydraulic pump. Some spare parts.”
Seller indicates this is a Keonig, but the back edge doesn’t appear correct for a Koenig (it is hard to see in the pics), so I can’t say for certain who made the top.

“Koenig Jeep CJ 5 hard top.
This is a Koenig top currently on a 1950’s CJ5. One side window glass is broken, and there is a dent in the rear of the top over the back hatch.
Also have a set of front fenders and hood that I am packaging in the deal.
This is for the hard top, doors, and black fenders and hood. The body and jeep are not for sale.”
Bill sent this link for a reasonably priced FJ-40. I don’t know how accurate the restoration is so far, but based on other prices I’ve seen, this seems to be a pretty reasonable one.

“1977 FJ40 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER FOR RESTORATION
This is a project I took on 2 years ago. I have gotten it to yard drive but it still needs more work. I fell into a deal with a gorgeous 1965 T-Bird and I just haven’t had the bandwidth to dedicate myself to the Land Cruiser.
Quick History: This vehicle was on the road until 2012, from that point on it sat in a gentleman’s driveway until 2018 when I bought it off him. He had owned it since 1985 and done some adventures up in Canada with it. He had even installed an auxiliary fuel tank to get extended range. During his ownership he had the engine rebuilt TOP and BOTTOM, the engine is NICE.
Since I bought it, I worked initially on getting it running. I replaced the original carburetor and it ran well. The cooling system and heater hoses were in terrible shape and I replaced them all with heavy duty clamps.
Unfortunately, at one point I switched the fuel source to the aux tank and it seemed to clog the fuel delivery. Long story short, there is an issue getting fuel to the carb, although I replaced the fuel pump, and filter.
What the vehicle still needs:
There is rust on the steel exterior body panels, especially the windshield frame and the bib. But the tub is aluminum and in fine shape. The fenders are fiberglass and doing great! The frame has rust. To make it off-road worthy you should reinforce several spots.
You will need to replace the exhaust system.
Tires hold air really well and have good tread, but are older.
Then you need to deal with the fuel problem. I would recommend a new fuel tank and new fuel hoses. A new mechanical fuel pump (if you need it, I put in a new one) is not expensive).
Ideally I would like to sell the seats separately to get some of my investment back, but I am flexible. So if you def want the seats, we can talk.
This is not a sale; it’s more of an adoption! I would like to talk on the phone first and then show you the vehicle.
I have the title in hand!
Here’s a video of the cruiser starting:
This uncompleted project has a variety of mods.
