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 $2300.
(03/02/2018) Bill shared this ad. There’s no sign of the extra gauges, so I can’t tell if this was an APU jeep or if the hood was appropriated from an APU jeep.
“1951 Willys Jeep Body Type VA Flat fenders is not running fly wheel is broke. Owner says it has new tires, rims, brakes, seat.”

“For sale 1954 Willys CJ3B jeep. This jeep is in very good condition for it’s age and is all original.”
I’m in Salt Lake for a couple days, spending time with my kids. Karson took me mountain biking on Antelope island, which sits in the Great Salt Lake. He managed not to kill this semi-out-of-shape old man. But, it’s clear he is in better shape than I. Here are a few photos.
Ready to ride
Yep, we’ve been riding uphill for quite a while … yep, those are bison ahead. I am too tired to outrun them at this point. My hope was that they would take pity on me and not chase me down.
We made it to the top of a hill. That’s the Wasatch Front in the background. Most of the rest of the trip was downhill.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3700.
Thanks to Bryan for spotting this one
“Rare barn find 1963 jeep cabover.”
UPDATE: I ran this post back in 2010. I think it’s time for a repost.
If this commercial played on TV, I must have missed it.
On a tangential note (and a completely skippable one), one of the shots in the movie appears to show Jane Goodall with some chimpanzees. My tech company did a co-project with her and ESRI (the Microsoft of mapping software) for an ESRI event in San Diego. Long story short, we had a party after the event and rented a sushi restaurant. It turns out .. well … let’s just say she’s not a fan of eating fish (she’s a serious vegetarian I believe). OOOPPPSS! I’m not all that sure she really likes people either, but perhaps it was an off day for her (though I ended up sneaking her out of the back of the restaurant; but that’s another story). So, the tip of the day is, if you invite Jane to dinner, don’t serve Sushi!
Anyway, enjoy the video:
Geoff wants to let folks know about a friend of his who makes wood jeeps. If you are interested, email Fred at fredmaybee@Yahoo.com. It looks good!
“The following pictures are of a wooden Jeep that I had purchased from a local gentleman. He charges $30 plus shipping per copy for common wood. Prices go up depending on the choice of specialty species of wood, to cover the cost of the raw materials.”
UPDATE: The FC Roundup starts next Friday! I can’t believe we are already approaching late March!
15th ANNUAL JEEP FORWARD CONTROL ROUNDUP
March 23-25, 2018 1600 W. Colter St. Phoenix, Arizona 85015
This is your personal invitation to the “Most Excellent” FC-Only event. We invite all FC Owners and friends of Jeep Forward Controls.
It is our pleasure to invite you, with or without your Vehicle. This is where you will see some of the best authentic and original restored, ongoing projects or modified FC and FleetVans. You can learn a lot in a weekend, see the Military models of FCs, take detailed pictures, talk to other owners. Bring your FC items, toys, memorabilia, photos, artwork, literature, and manuals to display. See new FC related products and parts and special tools. FC Roundup event hats, T-shirts, will also be available. There is no charge for the event.
We are always so very grateful for your donation of any FC related items that are given away during the Saturday afternoon free raffle. Also on Saturday are the large BBQ Hot Dogs and much more, for lunch. Free refreshments daily. One of the best things that happens everyday, is that you are also invited to drive your FC / FleetVan or you might ride in an FC. We have FC-Only groups that cruise to and from breakfast and dinner.
It is important that I mention that our weekend is a very busy time for the Phoenix area, the best weather, Spring Training, and many other events. So book your hotel, before they are sold out. The nearby Grand Canyon University, (GCU Hotel on the internet) is the favorite. The 502 Hotel is now closed down. There are other hotels along the NW light rail route that comes from the Phoenix international Airport. Call me for transportation from the Montebello / 19th Ave. light rail terminal stop and for more information about anything, contact me.

This is a project. The body looks very good.
“This is a very rare Navy Jeep with original data plate and all numbers match. The drive train has been rebuilt and the sheet metal is rust free and nearly perfect condition. I am 75 and not able to complete the painting and final assembly. I have a new wiring harness and all the parts. Needs to be put back together. I have over $10,000 invested. Not the data plate list frame number and engine number. This Jeep came from a U.S. base in Japan and the body was very rusted. I purchased the very best 1955 CJ3B I could find for the body. Price: $3,500 or best offer”
