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.

(06/27/2016) It’s a parts jeep.
“For sale a cj2a willsy jeep for parts, it does not have an engine. It does have a lot of vintage parts. No title.”
Below is a tentative schedule for our trip home. We’ve decided to begin by heading east so 1) we can see a little of Fort Worth, which we missed on our last trip, and 2) take my niece out to dinner (She’s in her freshman year at SMU … a long way from home). As usual, we have some museums, jeep stuff, and other things lined up to see. If the route is close to you and you’d like to meet us, just drop me an email and I’ll see what we can do. Just understand that since we are traveling in the motorhome with my mother-in-law, we don’t have quite the flexibility we normally do. Our tightest day might be Friday, as I’m trying to arrange several book-related meetings, but none are confirmed as yet. We begin our journey early Saturday morning with a trip to see the metal sculptures in Tatum, New Mexico.
On Saturday the 24th, we head east from Tualrosa. for Lubbock, where we will visit the Silent Wings Museum, among other attractions.
This ad from the February 17, 1946, issue of the Sunday Morning Star, published in Delaware, shared the news that Irvin Sachs would be introducing the new universal Jeep.
Each of the men was listed. It would be a great find for one of their descendants.

Truth be told, I saw my share of “wenches” when I lived in Santa Cruz, but never any “front mounted” ones. This could be a good price.
“1943 Ford Jeep. Started restoration but need to sell. 4 new military tires mounted on split rim wheels, Upholstery done, but needs paint and some assembly. No rust and has a front mounted wench.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
It needs a new master cylinder, but could be worth a look.
“Amazing and Cute head turning pickup truck .This rare 1961 Willys Jeep Fc 150 for sale. I have owned this truck for 28 years and am forced to sell. It has a Buick 225 v6 engine, Three speed transmission. not a rust bucket.Current tags and registration. runs well but needs master cylinder work ( brand new part but not kept filled with fluid ) common problem when jeep is not driven. No front wheel drive differential was removed for larger engine. This was my baby and has custom radiator work to prevent overheating.

Not many 161s around, let alone Sears Allstate versions. Aren’t these identical to the Willys 161s?
“Yes, Sears Roebuck & Co. actually sold cars during the 1952-53 model years, and this is the larger six cylinder 161 cubic inch flathead engine that came in the higher end “Series 6” versions. Only 2,363 Allstates were sold in two years, the cars were actually rebadged Henry J sedans manufactured by Kaiser/Fraser/Willys, as were the four and six cylinder engines they came with.
This particular engine is fairly rare and has the correct “Allstate” logo cast in the head as well as an “Allstate” tag on the engine block. It turns over and runs but really needs a rebuild. It is still standard bore, complete and has almost all the engine accessories including a good water pump, bellhousing, new clutch, two correct Carter carburetors, distributor, both manifolds, oil pump and starter. About the only thing needed to drop it in the chassis (other than a rebuild) is a generator. Most everything has been recently gone through by a mechanic.”
