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 .
Pete from the Old Willys Forum forwarded these two videos he’s just posted from last summer’s 2013 Moab Willys Rally. The first video shows what it looks like when driving through Arches National Park. The second has some jeeping footage.
Here’s a good looking FC-170 Glenn found.
Glenn writes, “Was out roaming in NH yesterday looking at a DJ3A. Happened by Ryan’s Garage in Center Ossipee, NH and spotted this freshly done FC170, a real sharp job. Around the parking lot was several other Willys pickups along with another FC donor. Sorry I didn’t get a front shot, but what you don’t see just to the left of the pix is a vey large, loud, chained dog. Nobody came out to tell us differently, so we stayed right in the car. Maybe some of the locals can tell us more. This is SNOW country and these FC models didn’t last long up here.”
Buz forwarded this article from “Just a Car Guy” about this rare Willys interlagos Berlinetta. I have to say I’m diggin’ this car.

A couple folks forwarded this article from Hemmings about the Willys MB that was published a couple days ago.

This needs another motor installed, but comes with a second.
“I’m selling my 1953 Willy’s jeep, body and drive train are on outstanding condition. The only problem with the Willy’s is that it needs a motor rebuild. Comes with two motors, two trans, two tranfercases. I payed 6,000 for the jeep, taking 2,000 off for the seized motor. Great deal! Please only respond if truly interested. I bought the xtra motor to fix this one. The trans and transfercase are exra. The reason for the engine problems was the oil pick up was clogged and I seized a rod to crank. I do not want to get rid of the beautiful pice of American history but my family come first. Please call me at 9896154327.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600.
It looks like it’s been sitting a while.
“I believe this is a 1953 CJ3A. Been sitting for 10 years or so, was running when parked. Tub rotted out. Frame still very solid. Tires and wheels rotted, don’t think they will hold air. Parts or restore.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed at $700.
And the steering wheel is held on how? That aside, this appears worth a look.
“’46-’49 Willy’s Jeep CJ-2A. Body is in good shape. Does not run but parts are included.
Cash only.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $200
This has three data plates and the long oval steering column cutout. It also might have had tool indents at one time.
“1946 CJ2A tub, will need work but good enough for a hunting jeep.”
Hmmm … don’t think that radiator quite fit.
“1948 Willy s jeep has a flat head v 8 has not ran. Since. Early eighty brakes are not locked up and it rolls freely and clutch is not froze tex 218 340 5639 for more info”
