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 .
Has a 350 in it.
“I have this 70 year old classic Jeep. It is a 1947 Jeep Willys Model CJ2A. It is in excellent condition and has an upgraded 350 V8 engine and is 4×4. It runs and drives good. It does not have a title, but I checked and can get a bonded title for this vehicle”

Several readers let me know that Hemmings had an article celebrating 60 years of the FC.
This article below was published 60 years ago this month in the May 1957 issue of Willys News.
Larry spotted this FC-170. He writes, “We are vacationing in Sedona. There are newer jeeps and jeep tours all over the place so we took one. As we were coming over the hill, there she was, an Fc170 tow truck. It was totally redone and beautiful. The kid in the shop had no idea what it was (some kinda jeep thing). It wasn’t for sale but it was great to see”.
Those familiar with this wrecker recognize it as Wayne Trent’s former FC. You can see some video of it here.
And here’s my photo of it from one of the FC-Roundups in Phoenix.
Looks like a slat grille behind the GP.

Staring price on these is $20 for all three. That’s a good price.

UPDATE: Still Available. Has buy-now price of $5495. Pics are from a Craigslist ad. The new eBay ad does not show passenger side photos, so I can’t tell if the tub is still attached.
(06/29/2016) I wonder if this has the Pontiac 195 in it. Not an easy engine to find. Has a fiberglass body.
“CJ-2 Willys Jeep , 4-Wheel Drive, Fiberglass body, converted to 12 volts, new rear mounted gas tank, 1963 Pontiac Tempest engine, new bikini top, running boards, new upholstery front seats, turn signals, color red. $5,500 or best offer.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
No shots of the whole jeep in one photo, but the close ups suggests this is a great shape.
This beautiful old Jeep was purchased new in 1962 for my mother for her weekly “Jeep rides”. However, shortly thereafter my parents purchased a summer house on the lake and the Jeep was parked in the garage most of the time while the water was enjoyed. When I inherited it in 2005, I had it compleely gone through mechanically. There were a couple of bubbles, so it was professionally repainted in the original color. It sat in the garage once again until I had it inspected in 2008. I hoped that I finally had the time to drive and enjoy my beloved Jeep. However, to my dismay I discovered that my newly diagnosed rheumatoid artritis prevented me from safely driving it. So I parked it in the garage once again until I finally realized that it is time to sell my Jeep to someone who can truly enjoy it. Continue reading
