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 like a solid build. If it is a 1942, there’s probably not much 1942 left on it.

“Great condition unknown miles changed out speedo”
It’s a project. Obviously, the seller is incorrect about the CJ-3B productions years (should state 53-69).

“Straight from an island off the coast (now on the mainland) is a 1953 Willy’s Jeep.
Desirable CJ3B model (only manufactured in ‘53 and ‘54.)
Partially restored; body rough, but engine, frame, and drivetrain solid. Many new parts added to frame and motor. Bag of new parts and manual goes with it.”
Based on the description, I’m guessing the seller knows very little about jeeps. No pics provided.

“This Korean War Era Jeep is in excellent restored condition. One piece windshield. Flat front.
Extensive restoration on the drive-train: seals, bearings, front and rear differentials, transmission, transfer case, brakes and military PTO are all in 1st class condition. Engine runs well. Starter rebuilt.
New canvas top and plastic side windows. New authentic seat covers. No rust on frame or body.
Tool kit. Army repair manual. Additional restoration parts.
The late owner was unable to complete the restoration. However the work is 95%+ complete, and with a few weekends work and the correct unit stencils this classic Jeep is ready to join the 4077th or unit of your choice.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $150.
Here’s a hard-to-find 4 bbl Offenhauser intake for the Buick 225.
“I have a 4bbl intake manifold for a Buick 225 V6.
Was being used on a motor that threw a rod.
Comes with intake and exhaust manifold gasket sets. Had a minor repair to heater hose connection but does not effect use.
Pretty hard to find these anymore, inexpensive power increase.”
Will need the brakes examined at the very least.

“1960 Willys Jeep FC170 is all original except the motor. It has a Chevy 307, 2 barrel. Three speed, four wheel drive. New Goodyear tires. I cleaned the gas tank, installed a new fuel pump, new points, condenser, rotary cap, distributor cap, New oil and filter, and new wires. I cleaned the carb and it fired right up. Some rust around the bed. I have already repaired the cab corners. Very rare to find the front bumper with bumperettes.
It needs brakes looked at. all glasswork is good except the drivers side glass. It has a plexiglass window that rolls up and down. These are very Rare jeeps, Only built from 1956 to 1965. There is a cult following for FC’s. This one is very complete. I had a leg injury that keeps me from going farther with restoration. I have other projects, so this one has to go. $7900 OBO. NO PayPal, No shipping. No personal emails. No Scams. Might consider trades that are ready to drive. (no projects)”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
For some reason this isn’t road ready.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
The metadata suggests these are in Cedarburg, Wisconsin; However, the description states these are in Oregon (the state, not the town of Oregon, Wisconsin). The terrain suggests these are in eastern Oregon.
“3 m422 mighty mite for sale In Oregon”
UPDATE: As Craig points out, the trio of data tags suggest this is a 1946.
(08/29/2019) Seller hopes to free up the engine and get it running.

I took a chance on eBay and bought a 1949 issue of the Goodyear’s Magazine for Men off of ebay that mentioned, in the ebay ad, about having an article on a Jeep Posse. The magazine turned out to be a sort-of marketing piece by Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company focused on men and with several interesting articles. Below you’ll find two articles from the magazine and a quiz.
The first article is a pretty early article on Utah’s Bountiful Jeep Posse. The other article covers a man named John Fordon and his business in New York City called “Beck ‘n Call”. Finally, the Fordon article includes a quiz on streets from around the country, names as relevant to day as they were back in 1949.
And now, the article on Fordon. Also, note the “Where are they” quiz.
