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 .
Evan was visiting Amarillo College in Texas when he spotted this FC-150 with a signboard just off of I-40 on Jackrabbit Rd in front of the I-40 Convenience Store. You can even view it on Google Maps. It’s just north of I-40.
Here’s a photo of it using Google Maps:

I assume this story is about Ben Carlin and Half Safe. Wonder of Wonder was a kids magazine.

“ive got a 1947 willys CJ2A jeep restoration project. i started on it but don’t have the time or the money to finsh and dont see myself having it anytime soon. ive done the frame and engine so far, the engine is a stong running V6 with fresh oil change and oil filter, brand new spark plugs, ignition coil, and external resistor with cold start switch. Headers and glaspacks. could start it for you if you brought some gas. original transmission with PTO, it has a winch that hooks up to it. it has lots of parts, 2 hoods, rear seat, roll bar, soft top bars but no top. the body needs work, its not the worst ive seen but the floor has rusted out in some spots. your not gonna find much better condition restore jeeps like this. im selling for $1350 OBO,”
No pics. Seller has a flat head crankshaft that has just been machined. He just wants to get some money back.
“****CRANKSHAFT ONLY*****
I have a crankshaft from a 1953 Willys jeep pickup. It is from a 134 L engine.
Machine work is done both rod and main are 10 over.
There is surface rust on the threads for the balancer, the end poked through bag while stored, but no rust anywhere else. rust should clean right off with a wire brush.
This was for a project that was abandoned and its the only part that I still have.
Make an offer, I have seen these on e-bay but I don’t want near that kind of money, just would like to get some of the machine shop bill back.”
