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 .
Craig scanned this from a June 1957 issue of Willys News.
Sebastian’s dad, always on alert for jeep stuff in Colombia, emailed this picture while the site was down. You might remember this coffee jeep from Colombia.
Sebastian added some notes for us:
“– The coffee sign, the wrong spelling in English and really no meaning in Spanish (it should be café)
– The top white sign saying “minutos” which means cell phone minutes. You basically pay a fee and you can use their cell phone for a call. Look the lady using the phone for a call.
– Middle white sign which offers “Mazamorra”, a local dish that not everyone dares to try. Not that easy to find these days, and not really recommended if you have an afternoon full of things to do, most likely you will need a long nap after eating that.
– Bottom sing “arroz con leche” which means rice pudding, sweetened to perfection.
It can not be more Colombian than this!”
Roberto pointed out this four door Commando Project. I don’t think the project is finished, but it is still interesting.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
This appears to have a periscope. It must be a deep water forder.
“48 cj2A jeep lots of work done no rust 3500.00 or trade 69-72 chevy 4×4”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500
This looks good.
“i have owned this jeep for the past 16 yrs. but it’s time to let it go. jeep has 50 cal machine gun winter top windshield cover pioneer kit. also included is a 14′ trailer that i had made to transport the jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800
This has a dump bed. Blaine notes this is not a dually (I had mentioned I wasn’t sure).
“Early 60s jeep flat nose cab over FC 170 4WD, dump bed. Vehicle ran and moved last year, needs tune-up etc. body has some rust/rot, selling as project 1,800 OBO”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
This has no engine. It has the rear PTO, a nice half cab, and looks very restorable.
“Half Cab, needs motor, body, reassembly. ”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $3500
Unclear what kind of ‘love’ is needed to make this run, but I’ll bet it is at least in part ‘green love’.
“1948 Willys Jeep. All original parts, after market alternator. All parts work it just needs love to get it running”
The side of this looks patched (with aluminum maybe?).
“1953 willys jeep. Body in decent shape, there is surface rust. Has not ran since early 80’s. But when it was parked it did run great. It comes with a plow. everything is original and if interested there are extra original tires. The soft top is worn but works. Would be a great project to restore or use for a plow truck. It only has 17,000 miles on it.”

There appears to be value here.
