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 .
This runs and drives. The square-edged gas tank suggests this might be an early ’42.

“Restoration shop clearing out extra projects. We are looking to free up some space and help these projects find a new home before they are too far gone. I have five Jeep CJ projects available. I will make package deals for anyone who wants more than one.

1971 Jeep CJ-5 Body beat up but frame in great shape. Has Dauntless 226 V6 in it. Runs and moves under its own power. Would be good to pick up along with the 68 to make a complete CJ-5 plus spares. Clean title. $1200 obo

“This came of my 1962 Willys Jeep that i no longer own. I never seen one besides the one i have and the one in the attached photo. It in pretty good shape considering and can be very handy to have.
I dont know if it will fit on other years are not.
Asking $350 OBO”
UPDATE: Still Available. Large picture included this time. Now wants to trade for riding lawn mower.
(03/25/2012) “old CJ high hood, runs and drives. strong motor. rough condition. project or nice trans for farm. i just use it for running around my property. I can text pics but not very good ones. this is a rough old Willys but there is potential. No title. I recommend calling because I don’t check emails often. I’m looking to trade this for a CJ5 or a motorcycle. Any interesting trades considered. 717-636-4416 Bill”
It runs. According the Ad title this was used by the Navy; I wonder if it includes a Navy plate of some type.
“This is a mostly original military jeep. looks like a CJ-5. It runs. needs a little brake work to drive. Body is really rough. it would make a great resto project or drive as is. Or trick it out. great project jeep. comes with a tow bar.”
“new carbureter,new mastercylinder,4 new wheel cylinders,5 new rubber brake lines,new steel brake lines,new battery,,,all 4wd stuff works great,buick v6 runs and drives good
clear wa state title”
“1961 4×4 Jeep FC-170 flatbed truck parts. It was last used in 1990.Original equipment, 226 six cylinder with 3 speed and Dana 18 transfer case, the cab is over 50 years old, it needs some body work, fortunately it is not rusted out beyond repair, because it was previously painted with house paint. It also needs some flat glass but the windshield is good. It has a rolling chassis, with steering. It does not run, it does not have seats, no radiator, no carburator, or no aircleaner.
It has a matching AZ title. I can sell the rest of what is left, for $1100.
I also have a really nice flat bed with all of the original mounting braces for the same type FC Jeep vehicle that I am selling separately for $300. ”
Craig managed to snag some vintage concept Commuter FC photos off of eBay recently. He’s organized and posted them at http://thefcconnection.com/the_commuter.htm along with a brief history. The quality of these photos are excellent and could provide clues to recreating one of these, should someone have the money, time, and energy to tackle the project. The whereabouts of the three concept vehicles produced are unclear.
He writes, “We did a breakfast picnic in a park last sunday with my wife Ana and a friend. During the picnic I realized that this was getting very close to a part of your book when you had breakfast in a park with “Virginia”, and you were even wearing an orange shirt!, haha, I hope that is were the similarities end. Anyway, it was a great day, and beautiful to take the willys out for this.”
Dexter spotted this 1949 issue of Popular Science at a local swap meet the other day. A reader of the magazine sent in an idea for waterproofing a jeep for only $.75. Not a bad price. Probably wouldn’t cost much more today. Note that it was in 1949 that the CJ-3A came out with a mini gutter to distribute water similar to the role the weather stripping hint accomplishes. I still have one of those gutters if anyone needs it.
And some other neat hints that aren’t jeep related
