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: Still Available.

“2 Jeep Willys FC170 for sale as a package deal – $9,000 OBO for both
1958 Jeep Willy FC170 – red one – VIN – clean title
1962 Jeep Willy FC170 – green one – VIN – title in previous owners name, with signed pink slip
These are a rare find. I am looking for the right buyer who can restore these gems and get them back on the road.
They have been stored outdoors in the hi desert since at least 1992. They do not run, and there are only 4 tires total for both cars.
Please do not ask to buy only 1 Jeep. I am selling both together as a package.
Buyer responsible for pick up and tow away.
Additional items included: 2 additional seat frames, warn accessory winch.
Payment accepted via cash, venmo, paypal, or wire transfer only.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
Lots of mods to this custom build.
“A little Rough, but all there.
327 Chevy w/350 turbo trans. 2 stick transfer case. Call for any other details. Some trading?.
Currently registered through 10/20.”
UPDATE: In his search for Jeepster door mechanicals, George learned that the parts used in a 1952 Dodge Truck were nearly identical to the Jeepster, just shorter. However, since he was able to eventually source a set of Jeepster doors, he didn’t try out this possibility. So, I thought in case someone else needed these parts that I’d let folks know that NOS parts are available for the Dodge Truck.
“A restorer messaged with a picture of one mech from the Jeepster and one from a 1952 Dodge truck this afternoon. They were identical except for the length of the connector between inside/outside handles. They can be found for $90 nos.”
=======================
Original Post: George is nearly done with a 1949 Jeepster restoration, but needs to locate the mechanical parts for both doors. If you think you have the parts he needs, contact him at gjasek @ yahoo.com (remove spaces around the @).
And, yes, he has looked for the parts at the Jeepsterman, WO Jeepster club, and other places on the web, but with no luck so far.
UPDATE: Below you’ll find several press photos showing two different angles of the same loading event from 1942.
This press photo shows less of the original picture than the two images further below:

UPDATE: Price dropped to $3500.
(10/27/2019) Has a variety of updates.
https://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/cto/d/tenino-42-ford-jeep/7007519584.html
“1942 Ford Jeep, 289 V8, and it runs! 4-speed with a Warn split transfer case. Comes with extra parts off a ‘46 Willy’s. Been in dry storage for 20 years.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
Looks like the gas tank has been moved to the rear with the inlet behind the back tire.
“47 cj2a from Az., no rust, recently painted Matt white no dents or scratches. 4 cylinder flat head, 4 speed T90, hi low 4 wheel drive. Tow bar, roll bar, bikini top. Runs , shifts and drives great. Good brakes and tires. Not a speed demon but can climb like a mountain goat. Always garaged have all receipts from previous owner.”
This is listed as a 1946, so it might be a 2A chassis with a 3A body and hood. The grille is unusual.

“’46 Willys, 4×4, chev 327, soft top w/ doors, 8000 lb warn winch, custom wheel and tires, runs good, clean title”
It’s listed at $4, but not sure if that’s $4k or more. May be more of a make offer. Pics make it difficult to tell how much value is here.

Most likely not ’41s. No pics provided.
