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 .
This May 1957 article highlights the successful slogan the Jacobson Motor Company of Omaha, Nebraska, used to attract buyers. Pete Comley, sales manager, came up with the slogan and added it to one of the company’s wagons.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $17,500.
Pete’s old custom FC is back on the market. It’s a well-built rig.
“This is Pete’s Truck from New Mexico that was in 5 magazines and is on a 1989 3/4 Ton Chevy Chassis has 350 Cu In with 700 Auto Transmission with 32 K mileage. Just replace All Steering Linkage and Steering Shaft Bearings and new shocks and have done few things to it since I purchased it. Just picked up a small trophy from a local show here and every one at the show just luv this Jeep and most said this was the first time they ever saw a Jeep FC. I bought it thinking I could slow myself down but going back to Sports car and want a Lotus Evora and so I have to sell this and another car to purchase. Very nice running truck and paint is in very nice condition for being 10 yrs old. Tires are in good condition.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000
This looks like a nice Jeepster Commando for the price.
“1971 Jeepster Commando 83k, Buick V6, 4 speed manual, 4wd, runs, drives, stops. Not perfect, but in really good shape, drives like a Jeep should. Larger than the old CJ’s so it’s definitely more stable. White hard top, Kayline (black) soft top, hell creek suspension, 31″ tires, with brand new spare not even mounted yet, Mickey Thompson wheels, front disc brakes, spare tire carrier – included but not mounted. Black hi-back seats in front with folding seat in rear. New Battery, Alternator, Voltage Regulator, transmission mount. Not exactly a rare thing but definitely uncommon. Currently tagged as an antique.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a rare reconditioned GPW by Higgins. Only 1,850 jeeps were reconditioned by Higgins Plastic Corporation.
For your consideration, a 1942 Ford GPW with mostly original paint and markings. Has peeling red house paint over the olive drab, which in my opinion could probably be mostly removed with a scraper.
Serial #73528, has a civilian engine and t90 transmission installed.
Overall, a nice jeep to restore back to its former glory. Mostly original condition, I have removed an angle iron front bumper, and replaced it with a repro set of gussetts and bumper. Front frame is in pretty good shape, with no welding or cracks.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Has some driver’s side damage.
“1957 Willys FC-150 3/4 ton truck. I have used it as a Sunday cruiser since I’ve owned it and really enjoyed it. I’m on to other toys now, which is the reason I’m selling it. NOTE: The mileage is NOT accurate. The odometer doesn’t function and hasn’t since I purchased it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** was $14,900.

Looks like a solid project.No description provided.
This has the Ford script on the back.
“Ford GPW WWII Army Jeep, very rare in that it is the “Ford Script” model with “Ford” stamped on the back panel. It was last titled in 1961 in California, and the title is still open from that time. The vehicle was originally sold to the public from the government in 1946, so the title says 46 model and also references the year of sale being 46. The pictures speak for themselves, the GPW will obviously need total restoration. Some fool cut the firewall and floor pan to begin installing a 283 Chevy engine. They also cut a hole in the hood to put a small scoop on. The frame is not cut. I will pull the motor out of the GPW before it is picked up, as the motor DOES NOT go with the vehicle. There are some spots of rust as one would expect, but it is actually fairly solid. The left rear leaf spring is missing, which is why it is leaning to the left.
