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 .
Bill Dedo contacted me yesterday. He’s hoping to track down a 1949 CJ-3A of his that his mother sold years ago. He has learned it might be a restoration project in Alta, California. If you happened to have any leads, add a comment to this post.
Here are some photos:
UPDATE: The winner is Anonymous at $200. Thanks for the unexpected response everyone and a special thanks to Steve Vogelzang for making it happen!
Steve sent me this original 1960 FC-170 manual in the hopes its sale would raise a little money for eWillys. One of the unique things about this brochure is that it appears to have been in a Chevrolet engineering library. There was one of these available on eBay for $45, but that one is now gone. I’ll start the bidding at $30.
Along with the brochure is an FC-170 brochure. These run between $5 and $10 on eBay.
This was up for auction last Saturday. I wonder if it sold?

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(12/13/2014) Both are projects.
“I have two Willys FC170’s for sale. I would also consider trading even for a J series pickup truck or a toyota 4×4 truck. I have 3 of these forward controls and I have come to realize I will never fix up all 3 of them. I am keeping the one I have the most money and time in and letting the other 2 go. They are projects and I have not messed with either of them or tried to get them running. They are both fairly complete with enough to make one complete truck if you combined the two easily. The orange truck is in really nice shape body wise (if I had got it first I would have used it as it is worlds better than what I am working with). The green truck has some body damage but its not very rusty either. Both are flathead 6 with the t90 three speeds and dana18 transfer cases. Green one is 1959 and Orange is a 1960.”
UPDATE: Still Available
The CJ-2A looks in good shape. It may go quickly. It is priced at $5,580, but you can also make an offer.
“Great running and fun to drive. Has current tags and inspection sticker. This jeep has been completely gone thru mechanically in 2013. Over $3500 spent in 2013. All new brake system in 2013. All wiring redone throughout for lighting and brakes. All guages working perfectly.
Transmission works in all low and hi settings. Engine runs very good and starts on first try. New battery installed in Jan 2014. Please call 214.802.6624 with questions.
Can provide more pictures as requested. Can ship anywhere in the USA.”

These photos appear to have come from this Danish website: http://www.armyvehicles.dk. It took some searching to find them.
Charles sent this as well. I can’t remember if I’ve posted this before or not, but it’s worth a repost:
The envelope is ripped, but the picture is great. It looks a lot like a slat grille.
“For sale is an envelope that would have been used for a soldier’s correspondence during World War II. It features a cartoon of a soldier driving a jeep. This item is copyright 1942 by Porto-Server of Chicago. The graphics are great; the envelopehas been torn at the end opposite the cartoon.”
I’ve seen these in chrome, but never in gold.
“Gold Jeep vintage ashtray in excellent condition. $85.00 OBO.”

A friend of mine is looking for the following hard-to-find parts for his farm jeep. He’s a serious buyer, but not real good with the internet, so has asked if I would help him try to find them. He’s willing to pay for shipping (using Uship) from anywhere in the US.
– Newgren lift
– Newgren single plow (or any other implements with tag)
– dual wheel adapters
– Koenig pto twin stick (50 & 58)
– Koenig half cab (complete and with tag)
Email me if you have something dave @ ewillys.com
