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 $1200.
Glenn spotted this one. I think having one of these chev trucks as a flatbed for a jeep would be cool.

Listed as a 1952, it looks more like a CJ-5 to me. This has been available for a while. No title.

“1947 CJ2A project
This is just to see if there is any interest. I am in no rush to sell, but if someone is willing to meet my asking price it is all yours.
The Good:
1947 CJ2A frame and axles. Both in good usable condition. Rear axle is the hard to find offset axle and the frame has had the spring hangers removed and relocated to allow for longer and stronger YJ springs. **softer ride with more articulation**
Brand new wheels with 4.5″ backspacing and used 33” mud terrains with a little tread left.
1994 5.7L LT1 from a Cadillac Fleetwood, ran before I pulled it. New aluminum bellhousing and dual disc clutch. Continue reading

“Hunter’s & Outdoorsmen; 1952 Jeep Willy, it is a classic. Great for outdoors. Does need work.”
UPDATE: Here’s a split ventilating windshield that’s on Christiaan’s South African jeep (mentioned in the comments).
===========================
Originally post February 12, 2017: Jim and I were discussing ventilating windshields the other day, but we lacked some overall stats. So, I’m hoping to gather such information under one post. It seems that ventilating windshields were offered in the following variations on the following models:
Can anyone add to part 1 or 2?
Some Examples:
Ventilating Windshield Links:
We know a couple of these exist. One sold back in 2014.The fire truck has “Blitz Wagon” on it, while the company marketed it as a “Blitz Buggy” The company that produced these was the Hi Pressure Fog Equipment Company.

The same company also made this alternative version. Anyone recognize the vehicle? This ad also appeared in a 1951 magazine accord to the seller.

UPDATE: **SOLD for $6500** Needed some work.
“Relocating and have to reduce the herd a little. This is a 1958 Jeep Willys FC150 Forward Control. It has the 4 cyl engine, I believe they came with the L head 134 CI. It runs and drives, but the water pump is starting to leak. The electrical system looks like it was patched together from a more modern vehicle and all accessories don’t work. A new wiring harness will be included with the sale. A former owner had filled in the area under the bed with riveted sheet metal that looks to be ductwork material. I had started removing this sheet metal, but didn’t get very far. I replaced the leaky gas tank with a new one. It had a boom wrecker in the bed when I purchased it, but the wrecker and flashing lights have been removed. I have a clear Illinois title. When I looked up the VIN, it indicates that it is a 1957 model. I think back then, some states titled vehicles in the year that they were purchased, which may explain why it is titled as a 1958.”
Has a fiberglass body. Needs to have turn signals wired.
