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 .

The Jeep Jam was this past weekend in Wilmington, Ohio. Roger Martin was there with his CJ-2A and FC backhoe and shared these photos via his girlfriend Sharon, who wrote about the event:
“Friday night, Roger Martin, had his 1947 CJ2a parked in the prime location at the Show and Shine Cruise-in. On the way down the street to park, his Jeep was one of several tagged by THE JEEP MAFIA.COM, and he was koozied with a cold drink cover that said “Nice Rig!”
The event took up 4 blocks of downtown Wilmington, from Spring Street to North South Street, and there were hundreds of jeeps and thousands of people. His Jeep was on one corner of Main and Spring Street ad Greg Houk’s Jeep FC150 was on the other corner of the street. Most other Jeeps were newer and many were showing off before the “muddy” events this weekend.
There are trail rides, obstacle courses, mud pits and many other events at the fairground and in other local locations. Also at the fairground, there is overnight camping, and there are Jeep vendors, food concessions, live music, a Show & Shine competition, and a Jeep “Museum.” Roger’s FC170 DRW with a rare Factory Mounted Ottawa Backhoe is on display in the event’s historical display along with his CJ2a.”
“This is a 1978 DJ5. Used to be a postal service jeep that was converted in 1995 by a company named Safari-Kar. There was less than 1000 of these build. As the company was only in business for 3 years. The jeep has 5,276 miles on the complete rebuild. Inline 6, automatic transmission, 2 wheel drive. I just put 3200 dollars in it to replace or repair the following (battery, all the belts, brakes gone thru, the tires have less then 500 miles on them (and there is 5 of them), the gas tank and all the line have been cleaned (the tank was dropped cleaned and reinstalled. This is a very clean jeep at a good price.
If you want to know more about this unique jeep then google the company ( Safari-Kar ) .It will tell you more about what they have done.”
“\Motivated to sell before winter.
VT Registration previously – No Title
Retrofitted back seat and seat belt for road use
Hasn’t been operated for at least 15 years
We hoped to work on it and have this as a fun town vehicle, but haven’t found the time. It’s been in the fam for about 30 years and I road in it as a kid. Very fun! I’d love to see it running again and someone enjoying it.”
Runs and drives. It would not be worth 10-15k with the original engine, as there have been other changes, such as the steering box addition.
“Body in great shape, org. trany, has a 350 chev. motor. runs good. if you put the org. motor in it , it would be worth 2 to 3x the value. must call cause I dont text,”
