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 .
Here’s another Newsweek Ad from 1943. I will have to fill in the issue information later, as I don’t have it with me. This was a two page ad in the center of the magazine.
Sebastian’s father spotted this jeep and share the picture with us. Note the extended rear.
He writes, “My dad spotted this nice 3B in Villavicenio, Meta (Colombia). It seems
to be used for work or daily drive, the yellow plate means is registered
as a regular car. The white top looks nice and goes well with the
tires. However, it seems a little larger than normal. It seems there is
a cat or a dog underneath.”
I’m really wondering about the text on the back of this card. I can’t tell what it is promoting. The title claims this is Bruce Minard a gold prospector in Red Hill, Mojave, California.
“NICE UNUSED STANDARD-SIZE CHROME POSTCARD……..1950s/60s ERA……IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
I love look of the motor, but less so the hole in the hood. This includes a winch. This would go quickly on the mainland.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8450.
(12/29/2013) This FC comes equipped with a diesel.
“Up for sale is a 1962 Willys Jeep FC Forward Control Flat Bed Truck 4X4
Mercedes Diesel Engine pulled from a 1984 300D. Will drive and we’ve taken it up to about 50 MPH at which time the steering feels a little weird. Not sure if the steering wheel is loose or it just feels weird due to it being raised (37″ tires). Its definitely still a project with all the parts here & the major work already done. Registered in California through FEB 2015.
Known issues:
-4X4 Cable needs to be connected
-Drivers window is in door but doesn’t close
-Brake fluid leak
-RPM gauge is not connected
-Steering feels loose at high speeds”
This runs and drives and includes a PTO winch.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
Buz spotted this. Given there’s no price, it could potentially be a deal.
“1966 Military Jeep Restored”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1400.
No brakes and the drain holes have been patched, but it runs.
“1946 Willys CJ2a…almost all of the original parts are there (missing the original gauge cluster and windshield has been replaced) with the body in fair shape. I have an old Oregon title to it which could possible be used to get a new one. It had been used as a hunting vehicle on a lease for several years. Ready for a restore!
Pros
Engine runs
Transmission shifts fine
Transfer case works good
Hubs lock and unlock as they should
Most original parts there
Cons
Master cylinder is froze up, so no brakes
Engine smokes”
