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 .

“’43 Willys for sale. Needs interior work and some body work. RUNS! Has 8 cylinder Ford motor.
1200 but open to all offers. No title, vehicle was only used as a crawler/hunting Jeep. Able to get new title at DMV, but never did since I did not use for city transportation.”
There looks to be value here. Interesting that there’s no gas inlet.
“This is a rehab project vehicle. What you see, is what you get. The engine is seized, and it’s missing the radiator, gas tank, and windshield. The frame is in decent condition, as are the body, wheels, and tires. It even has a large winch that works OK, but it too will need some TLC. If you’re looking for a fun project, you might enjoy working on this rig. Jeeps are pretty easy to get parts for, and I’ll include a couple of mechanic’s manuals with the sale.”

UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/01/2014) Not sure if this is a 2A or a 3A.
“This is (as registered) a 1951 Jeep Willys CJ-2a 4×4. It has a buick V6, 3spd tran, dana 25 and dana 27 running gear. I put a new wiring harness, gauges, LED brake and turn lights, new seat coverings and a por-15 paint job. Included is the tire carrier, spare tire, two gas cans, all spare parts, paint and the rifle rack in the middle. This jeep was used for hunting and is extremely reliable but it also looks good to drive into town. It is currently registered (Nov 2015). You can either drive it home (45-50 mph and a 5 gallon gas tank) or tow it home behind your tow vehicle.
I have seen the other Willys for sale on Craigslist and know that the $3600 for a fully running, registered and reliable Willys is priced to sell. Cash only, no shipping, no trades. Email to set an appointment time. Thank you.”

Mark’s son Tom Smith has just authored a great article at jeeptruck.com about the Hoptown Pizza story. You can read it here:
http://jeeptruckstories.blogspot.com/2015/02/hopping-along-in-fc-dream.html
You might remember when I published a brief story about the owners last October when my wife happened upon them at a farmers market. At the time they thought their truck was cute, but didn’t realize it was called an FC Jeep. So my wife, now being an FC ‘expert’, explained what they owned. I do love my wife!
BTW, Ann says their pizza was great. As part of an email exchange I suggested they try to make it to the FC Roundup this year.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
I’m sure this has been listed previously, but I sure couldn’t find it. I believe the price has dropped. Includes a rear PTO and a hardtop. The jeep sports a vintage National Jeep Association Decal.

(04/25/2013) The paint job certainly is unusual, but it looks solid. The description suggests the seller is confused the CJ-5 with the CJ-3B?
“This Willys is great fun to drive and sport around. It has street tires because it was used in parades and car shows. It would run about the desert better with fat tires. 53 is the year that Kaiser bought the company after the Koren war and started making Willys for civilians which is why there is the bigger engine and higher hood. You are buying a piece of history.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000
