About eWillys
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.
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 .
“1957 Jeep Willy’s needs to be finished, it has a Buick V-6 mated to an automatic transmission, I bought this project to get running but decided to pass it on to the next owner. Currently on Non-opp and I have the clean CA. Title in hand. Asking $2,000. I will consider trade and possibly add some cash if you have a pre smog running short bed Chevy or GMC truck. If add is up, it’s available so please don’t ask”
“Sat in a garage for 5 plus years, sat outside for now about year and half. What i know: Jeep Runs and drives. Will send video of running and driving if you PM me. Only selling because I inherited a jeep and i don’t need two. CLEAN title in hand.
Pros: 8k WARN Winch Disc Breaks on the front Wilwood Master Cylinder with remote reservoirs Steering wheel riser New Steering wheel New Smittybuilt Seats Body is in pretty good shape for the age No rust Inline 6 motor, runs well unsure of history or miles Drop down tow bar Tires in good condition New / Rebuilt starter Title in hand Windshield glass no cracks
Cons: Break lines have lost pressure so a leak needs to be found and fixed. I did have a company do it but lines leaked after about a week and after a few attempts to do it myself it got put on the back burner. Gas pedal is needed- currently just a shaft Needs battery, i have a spare one i might be able to part with”
(10/07/2023) This has a new body. If someone wants to purchase this, but doesn’t want the engine, In trade for the engine and steering column, I would consider going up to get this (way at the top of the Peninsula area), bringing it back, and holding it until someone comes to pick it up. email me if you are interested: d@deilers.com. I think the engine would be good in Biscuit.
“Project 43 jeep,new body, frame, front disc breaks, all of drive train rebuilt, have 2300 4 cylinder ford motor ready to put back together 30 over pistons, 10 over bearings, new aluminum radiator, new gas tank”
“46’ Willy. Rolling chassis. The tub is in wonderful condition.  NO motor or trans. NO paperwork as is Located in oakhurst firm on price you’re more than welcome to make an offer. No low ballers. Thanks”
This eight-page issue includes stories about Country Maid’s FC-150s ice cream trucks and Prade Ranches wagon. The Boyd’s FC was included as part of a story on the Boyd family’s travel to South America. Two different articles highlight DJ-3A dispatchers. There are two very different examples of FC-campers, which one looking quite a bit like Dan Horenberger’s old streamline camper (discussed in this Motor Trend article by Jim Allen). Also, don’t miss the last story which shows an FC with two sets of duallies on the rear.
This quad-fold 1982 San Juan Scenic Jeep Tour brochure shows two newer jeeps with rear seating like the FC-tour jeeps, along with one vintage chopped wagon.
This June 1953 issue is Volume 2 No. 4. I’ve only documented a few of these, so I don’t think many of these “Booster News” newspapers were saved. This one is on eBay for $99. Anyone know if they have copies of the Booster News in the Toledo Public Library?
“Here is a rare vintage, Willys Booster News UAW Local 12 Employee newspaper Toledo Ohio. The newspaper is in good condition. It is complete with 8 pages in it.”
“48 cj2a. Fresh engine, Working on another and is being neglected. $10,000, Central Montana. Don’t enjoy tumb talk much so 406 590 5060 please if serious only. Thanks Bob. If you see this it is available. Please don’t ask.”
Blaine shared this CJ-5, noting the hardtop looked unusual, which the rear of it does. After some research, I felt it is a Koenig Jiffy Cab 520 for the CJ-5 (see an Aug 1957 brochure here). This is the first time I’d noticed that the Jiffy Cab 520 had an unusually wide rear door with slim sides (not room for side windows in the back).
“The jeep is pretty-much untouched and original (except for the paint). Last year before AMC bought Jeep. It has the factory 3.7l Dauntless V6 motor, three-speed transmission and factory PTO winch. Split bench seat.
The motor is strong with as-new oil pressure. A prior owner put a 3.8l intake on it so it can use the Delco electronic ignition. Dual exhaust, as new. Transmission good as are the brakes. I hate antique cooling systems, so a new radiator and heater core. Headlight replacements should be in today (3rd), LEDs with glass faces.
The paint job was for protection since it came to the coast, mediocre base coat, clear coat. The hard top was bought when the Jeep was new. Neither roof or the body show rust, it came from Talent, very dry country. It has a mis-matched tire, and needs little jobs for it to be the daily driver.
This is an old Jeep, old school. No power steering, just a big steering wheel. No power brakes or cruise control. Early Jeeps are strong and reliable, but have little in common with modern Jeeps.
I am willing to consider trades, even non-vehicle, if the trade seems right, or $6k. I have varied interests.”
