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: **SOLD** Was $150.
Seems like a fair price.

“Here’s the Jeep for a Rubicon Run. Powerful V-6 Buick Motor Conversion, Aluminum Radiator, Electric Fan, Nice Navy Grey Paint, Oversize Cleat Tires, Lifted, Full Canopy Door Top, 2 Extra Gas Tanks, Towbar and Hitch, Road Lite Bar and Much more!! A personal Jeep owned many years by a particular Owner. This is a rare production model built in 1942 by Willys for government issue. Painted in correct Navy Gray, Recently Serviced and needing nothing to drive away!! 4-wheel drive and 3 Speed Manual Transmission original to the vehicle. Vehicle is in Medford, Oregon.“
Very much a project. Pinto is a great engine for a jeep, but in my opinion I’d go with the 2.3 for the extra power.

Here’s an add for the followup model, the FJ-3A .It appeared in The Lawton Constitution out of Oklahoma on January 07, 1962.

This looked in such good shape that I assumed it would be repowered. But nope, it’s still got an f-head.
