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: Marty happened to have sand blasted an exact copy of this rim today. It looks like Todd’s rim is a Firestone rim.
Original Post: Todd was wondering if anyone recognized this 11×15 rim or what vehicle it might have come from? It’s a 5×5.5 lug pattern.
Looks in great shape.
“DESCRIPTION: Up for auction is a vintage Tyco Slot Car Track Set — Jeep CJ Snake-Track. The Tyco article number is 86617. The contents are in their original box. This set is from Italy. An incredible, rare find in this condition. The approximate measurements of the box are: 26.25 inches (L) x 17.5 inches (W) x 2.5 inches (H).
CONDITION: The vintage set is “new” and almost completely sealed. The original cellophane seal of this box is torn on one side of the box. Therefore, the set is now “open,” and I cannot call it “new” under eBay’s guidelines. However, the contents have never been played or tempered with, or removed from their slots. The back of the box has a small piece of tape to prevent the cellophane wrapping from ripping further. The box shows minimal ware, with no tears or creases. Overall, an incredible find in this condition.”

Looks to be a nicely modified truck.
“1951 Willy’s Pickup mounted on 1974 K-5 Blazer chassis. 383 Stroker; new 30″ tires;
Auto trans; new gas tank, gauges, side steps, exhaust pipe/ mufflers, floor shifter. Call or email with any questions.”

Sounds like it is a mix of MB & GPW parts.
“1942 WWII Jeep restored from the ground up, parade ready. Vehicle is in perfect working order. Ford body, Willy’s Engine.

Serious inquiries only, more information given at inquiry. Local pick up only, no shipping.”

Seller seems upfront about the jeep’s lack pedigree.
“1943 ford gpw jeep,, not for the serious collector, non numbers matching engine, transmission, transfer case. The engine, transmission & transfer case work like they should, starts & runs fine, drives, stops, does everything it should but its not perfect, it is 72 years old.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was ‘Make Offer’
Craig forwarded this sad tale of a truck being consumed by its surroundings. Maybe you can make a difference in this abandoned truck’s life?
“I have a 1962 keep willys truck its sitting on a dram but no drive train the leaf springs are thill there , no bed and no front fenders but do have front grill , I have a clean title for it , looking to for trades let me know what you have”
Might be some value here.
“I’m looking to sell this Willy’s it’s a little project. It runs good it just needs seats, windshield frame and windshield, needs brake and signal lights, and need to find hole in brake line other than that it runs pretty good asking $1200 or would be willing to trade for decent motorcycle.”
