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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
(06/25/2010) This looks like a very good price. This does not appear to be a VEC based on the gear shift lever that is just visible in the picture.
“1946 Jeep Willies. Runs. New seats. Flathead enjine. Original color is red.”
Greg was watching the Mecum’s auction on TV when this unit popped up for sale. It sold for a hefty price of $28,000. Maybe it was the spotlight that sealed the deal?
A reader let me know that the ICON CJ-3B got featured in the NY Times this weekend in the collectible cars section. It will likely be a great plug for the micro vehicle maker. My one big quibble with the article is the headline “What Price Perfection? The $80,000 Army Jeep” … after all, it’s NOT an army jeep!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4200.
This appears in good shape.
“Drive or restore, super hurricane six some rust that is common with this model, Grabby front brake, some valve noise, hasn’t changed in the past 10 years, interior is decent 208 390 6553 verizion”
There appears to be some usable parts on this.
“rough willys, not sure of year, good for parts or restore, does not run, roll, or steer. It has a small v8 in it and there are a couple of mice living in it. It is in my driveway and my wife wants it gone, I can’t understand why. If interested call 860-836-4994”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
This looks pretty good.
“95% restored runs good all original please”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“1943 willys jeep military. This is a really cool and rare willys. It is a barn yard find that i wanted to restore. It has very minimal rust for origional body and a great jeep all around. Im heading off to collage and unfortnatly theres no garage in the dorms so i have to get rid of it. This jeep runs and drives and has a clear title. I havent done anything with it so i dont know much about it, if it is a ford mb i dont know. So if you know anything about it just let me know. It looks like the guy that i got it from welded something on the hood for an air cleaner as shown in pictures, and i dont think the tail gate thing is origional but is nice, or some welding it could be removed. Thanks for looking! and from the jeep guys any info would be great.”
It doesn’t run, but appears pretty complete.

UPDATE: After more than a year this is back on eBay with no reserve.
(06/30/2009) This FC comes with a warn overdrive.
“UP FOR BID 1957 WILLYS FC 150. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK 13 YEARS AGO FROM THE CITY OF YELLOW SPRINGS, OHIO. IT WAS USED AS A WELDER TRUCK IN THERE CITY VEHICLE FLEET SINCE 1964. IT HAD A LARGE PORTABLE WELDER ON THE BACK WHICH WAS REMOVED WHEN I BOUGHT IT. I MADE A STAKE BED FOR IT THAT HAS REMOVABLE SIDE RACKS. IT HAS 28000 ORIGINAL MILES BUT THE TITLE SAID 46000 WHICH WAS A MISPRINT. I NEVER BOTHERED TO GET IT CHANGED. THIS TRUCK IS 100 PERCENT OPERATIONAL AND EVERYTHING WORKS BUT THE HORN. IT IS THERE, BUT THE BUTTON FELL OFF.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200
I know nothing about these. However, a quick search seems to confirm the seller’s information. Moreover, this appears to be a good price for a rather rare rig.
“Selling my 1967 Datsun/Nissan Patrol. If you do a little research on this only around 2,600 of these awesome 4×4’s were imported throughout the mid 1960’s and here is one of the rarest. Most of the Patrols brought into the U.S. were badged as Nissans, but this is badged as a Datsun. It is completely original with the original 6cyl and manual transmission. Has a folding windshield and a rare removable hardtop. It is a project vehicle but is mostly complete except for the front seats and rear window glass, I do know someone with the front seats I can connect you with. It is not running at this point but the motor does turn over. Truck needs some TLC and you would have a very unique 4×4 unlike any you see out on the trails.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
(06/18/2010) Dan’s on a streak tonight. This looks like a fine price that includes a hardtop and softtop.
“I can NOT take any trades for this Willys. 55,858 original miles. She was completely undercover in a carport for last 30 years with very little in town miles, as it was used as a snow plow only which now it is not. 2 Tops – Sears catalog hardtop with doors and soft top (needs some work) with doors.
Last summer this is what was replaced: Completely new brakes, starter solenoid, seats recovered with Marine grade vinyl so that they are waterproof. We hade a tune up performed 6/21/2010 to replace the coil, coil wire, distributor cap, rotor, condenser, points & spark plugs. This is still a 6 Volt system.
This really is a classic car and as much original as is possible for a 63 year old vehicle. She does have some rust holes in the floor boards but not very badly. There is also some rust on the side steps. We are forced to sell is the only reason we are selling so that is why I can NOT take any kind of trade. I can email you other pictures if you would like.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $900
(06/25/2010) That looks like a good Warn winch on the front. This might be a great price because of that.
“Great project jeep, do not have time to get it back in shape, last running 5 years ago. Comes with soft top and doors, quail rack, warn hubs, tow bar and winch. dauntless V6 motor. First $900 takes it all!”
