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 .

(04/30/2011) This might not be a bad price, but it would be nice to really know if it runs.

“1961 Jeep Willys Pickup, serial number 55268-64738. The title is clean and in my possession.
It is powered by a Ford 302 small block V8. The engine is used but starts and runs nicely. The three speed transmission and transfer case are original. The four wheel drive works great. There is an aftermarket overdrive installed and it will cruise at highway speeds. The rims are aftermarket chrome-alloy and the tires are barely used.
Mechanical updates include: power brakes, electrical engine fan, new fuel tank, and dual exhaust with cherry bombs. The steering is still original but has been overhauled including a new steering wheel. The bed is lined with Herculiner roll on bed liner. The interior is restored with new upholstery, rubber flooring, and door panels. The door and floor panels are new and made out of an oak veneer.
The carburetor needs a tune up and the suspension is sagging and needs updated. There is a crack in the top corner of the driver’s side window. If the battery is not unplugged after driving it will drain over long periods of time. The paint is in decent condition with only minor scratches and chips. Rust is minimal. ”
UPDATE: Still Available
(04/12/2011) “The motor has been pulled it did run but has been sitting on the shop floor. May trade for a banshee that needs work. Call or text 503-437-5779.”

UPDATE: Price now $1500.
(07/28/2011) This appears to have an overdrive. The body looks pretty good too. I think there is plenty of value here.
“willing to talk about price. call 562 964 8405 old and want to get rid of it.”

Gerald is all ready for the Bantam Festival. Note that I will be riding with him in spirit, as he will have a picture of me and Biscuit on or near his jeep. So, stop on by, say hello, and get your picture taken with my picture. 🙂
Gerald writes, “We had my Dad’s 46 (red), Brother’s 48 (blue) and my 63 (cj3b) all in the same place for the first time. My brother also has a 50 M-38 to add but here’s the 3 at the Butler Farm show with a couple other flat fenders from our club.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Norm spotted this ad. The jeep has an interesting hardtop and unusual back. It appears well done. Does anyone know if the airforce owned or had other CJ-3As like this?
“airforce, toolbox, on wheels, very rare, many new parts, $3000 Troy, NY”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The camper isn’t original to the FC, but fits pretty well I think.
“This is a forward control FC-170 (1-ton) that has a camper built on the back. It was converted to a camper sometime in the early seventies. The interior of the camper has new paint, counters and cushions. It makes into two double beds and two single so it sleeps a total of six. Has original 1950s propane stove with an oven (there is a normal removable propane tank in an exterior compartment). Gas and DC lights, ice box and sink. The water tank has been removed but there is a place underneath to mount a tank. The engine was changed at some point and replaced with a 302 Ford V-8. The engine fires up and sounds good. The truck drives fine but has been parked for quite some time. I purchased from the person who had built the camper and had owned it for many years. He had used it for camping with the family and hunting but not in recent years due to his age. There is an overdrive unit that goes with the vehicle but needs to be repaired and was removed. I was told by the previous owner that the windshield was recently replaced and it does appear to have been. The tires are pretty old and hard. There is also a set of black spoked 15″ rims are included. There is also a box of misc. gaskets and parts included. The truck has quite a bit of power with the V-8 and would probably get up just about anywhere and has plenty of clearance. There were not many of these trucks made and they have become very collectible. As you can see from the photos the paint is faded but there does not appear to be any serious corrosion anywhere.”
Stuart writes, “I am in need of proper, adequate, if not original seating situation for the “front” of my 43 gpw. As you may be able to see from the pics below, someone has “bubba’d” the driver’s seat and stretched it about 10 inches. I understand the passenger seat isn’t correct either. What i do have to trade or sell to someone is a purpose fabricated roll cage w/ bucket seats, a full width rearview mirror and a console/armrest/cooler/cup holders (not shown) that fits between the center rails.”

The paint job appears unusual.
“1947 Willys CJ2A Jeep, Excellent condition and meticulously maintained and cared for, this CJ-2A with a ’90’s restoration has been garage kept during its life with the present owner (30 years). Bodywork condition and paint quality are superior. Since restoration, the Jeep is only used to cruise the neighborhood and farm, with an occasional trip to town. This CJ-2A is currently equipped with a “universal” one-piece replacement windshield (instead of the two piece original). The original flathead four engine had a partial rebuild and starts effortlessly and runs well. The electrical system is 6-volt. Everything functions except the fuel gauge or sending unit (scheduled to be the next project to tackle, but have not made it there yet – a paint paddle works adequately well!). The current tires are slightly oversized, but have substantial tread remaining. An original, matching rear seat is included as are a small assortment of spare parts. Ready to show or just bump around in, this Jeep offers a lot in originality and quality!”
