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 .

“1948 CJ-2A Willys Jeep Has title and VIN plates. Hurricane F-Head 134 I4 engine three speed transmission & twin stick transfer case. This jeep is all stock except for the 2 inch lift Rancho leaf springs and 31″ narrow super swampers. It has a TJ roll cage, extended bed, and bucket seats. Electric fans cool the engine and the old cam & leaver steering has been swapped out for a conventional manual Saginaw box. It does need a master cylinder. Other than that it runs and drives. A fun trail jeep or nice stock restoration project.”

(08/15/2011) This looks like a nice wagon.
“1960 Willys SUV sport wagon
It seems to be a Willys/Jeep Truck and Wagon day. So, let’s start with this old brochure Glenn forwarded to me. I’d like to see a brochure that shows all 50 options referenced in the brochure. Note this is a brochure put out by Willys of Canada.
Robin spotted this nifty truck with a rare towing package. He has shared a bunch of pictures on Flickr. Here are a few below. Cool truck!

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
“Well I’m sure no expert on old Jeeps, but a friend of mine gave me this FC-170. His dad is 80 years old, and has had it for many years. This is what I would call “Barn Fresh.” It has been sitting in a barn for at least the last 5 years or so idle. He says it was running and driving when it was last parked.
Here is what I know about it. It’s a 63′ or 64′, and it says Kaiser/jeep Corp on the I.D. plate. It is a factory flat-bed, 1 ton with dual rear wheels. This thing is rated to cary over 2 tons! It weighs 3,720 pounds empty, and has a G.V.W. of 8,000 lbs. Delivery date was Sept of 1963. It has a 6 cyl. flat head engine, and a manual transmission. The rear end is a Dana 70 and the front end is a Dana 30. This jeep has 5:37 gears I’ve been told. This Jeep could be used for parts, or better yet… be restored.
The engine turns free, and I’m sure someone more mechanical than myself, could have it up and running again in fairly short order. I do not have a title for it, and can only offer you a bill of sale. The previous owner has alzheimers (he can not locate the title). I do have the shop manual for it.
It’s sure not perfect, but it’s not real rusty like some I’ve seen. (I would say its 99% rust-free). This jeep is over 48 years old and being sold as is. I would much rather you plan for the worst and hope for the best, than be disappointed in any way. My opening bid is 950.00 with no reserve. Now all that having been said….. I can’t imagine finding a better FC170 for the price…I only want the buyer to be happy with it…Thanks.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,500.
“1957 FC 150 with 15,202 original miles. All original, no custom add ons. Original paint on grill, spare tire is original and never used. Tires on it are Goodyear Town and Country Mud and Snow. $12,500 location: Macomb County Michigan.”
Here’s another rare truck with a dump bed. A red truck with a dump bed was sold out of Vacaville earlier this month.
“1962 1/2 Willys Jeep 4-Wheel Drive Pick-Up Truck with Dealer Installed Dump Bed – Registered as 1963 but according to the numbers it shows a production date of 1962 1/2. Dealer installed dump bed, I was told there was only 100 of these made and after a lot of research I only found a few in existence. All original, also a great truck for original restoration or custom, this is a real classic. Bone stock original California rust free Willys, its got a couple of little bubbles as big as your finger nail, but nothing major. Driver and passenger door glass is cracked, it’s flat glass and replacement parts are available. This truck has never been modified, it looks to have been painted many years ago, it was originally the blue you see on the interior pictures. This truck spent most of it’s life on a gold mine in Northern California’s gold country. I purchased this truck from the president of the local Willys Club with intentions to restore, but the wife isn’t warming up to the idea. This is a running registered road worthy vehicle, runs and drives as a ’62 1/2 Willys should. I just had new rear brakes installed, new master cylinder, oil changed, all fluids top off, and a full safety check done by the local Big O Tires.
From 1962-1965 – Willys Jeep used the 230 CID (3.8 L) 6-230 Tornado I6, It was available with only one transmission, the Borg-Warner T-90 three-speed manual. A Spicer 18 transfer case was used on WD models. The Timken 51540 was an early rear axle option, otherwise the Dana 53 was standard. The front axle was a Dana 25. A 5.38:1 differential ratio was standard.
Please ask any and all questions BEFORE bidding, and if you have zero 0 Feedback Please contact me before bidding. Buyer responsible for vehicle pickup and/or shipping. Good Luck and happy bidding, I have set the reserve at a very low price.”
This is the first of two nice, but pricey wagons.
“1960 WILLYS WAGON FINISHED IN FOUNTAIN GREEN OVER TWO-TONE GREEN/ TAN INTERIOR AND EQUIPPED WITH THE 115 HORSEPOWER HURRICANE STRAIGHT 6 CYLINDER AND 3 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION.

MECHANICLLY THIS WILLYS NEEDS NOTHING, RUNS STRONG AND DRIVES PERFECTLY. ONE COOL UNIQUE COLLECTABLE.”
