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 .
In early April of 2010, Kurtis found a solid looking, stock 1950 CJ-3A named Ike that he plans to restore to off-the-dealer-floor condition. He’s built a website (http://kurtisfranklin.com/blog/) to chronicle his restoration adventures and recently provided some good details on a V-Cell Radiator.
Good luck on your restoration Kurtis; I think it will turn out well! Here’s a pic of Ike:
I ran across JeepGod’s website today. There’s a variety of interesting tidbits on the site, including an inexpensive solution for an air compressor, a nicely drawn out map for navigating Uwharrie National Forest in North Carolina, and the below list of Jeep Manufacturers, which provides some details into the specific companies that manufactured the vehicles we generally describe as Jeep or Willys. I hadn’t thought of organizing a list quite like this, so I thought I’d highlight it for readers. It’s certainly not an exhaustive list, as there’s no FC-170 listed, but that’s a minor quibble I think.
This looks like a great price.

It’s missing some items.
“

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Here’s another nice Cj-5 for the price.
“1967 Jeep CJ5. V6, 3 Speed. 4.88 Gears. Good body and frame. Fiberglass front fenders and hood. Have steel fenders and hood. Runs strong. Windshield cracked (have another frame with good glass). Oil pressure and temp work. Speedo does not work, has no turn signals or backups. Brake lights, head lights and windshield wipers work. Has no top. Sits on 31’s.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000. It has a Muller Top.
UPDATE: More pics. Some interesting pics of the custom soft top. Price dropped to $10,000. This also comes with the electric overdrive, which demonstrates you can sneak one of these behind a transfercase in a flattie.
(10/06/2009) It looks like there’s been some well done customizations. I’d like to see more pics to see more.

This looks pretty good for the price.
“Originally used as a med unit for the army, this Willy’s jeep has charm and nostalgia. Pls contact seller for more details regarding this classic!!”
This buyer’s comment about a ford seems a little odd.
“Looking for a project. I want original engine and running gear. Preferrable but not necessarily made by Ford. Call 509 954 2200 or email through Craigslist with your phone #. I will be glad to call you back. my name is Mike. Thank you..”
Here is a buyer: “must be in good condition, no rust or dents, with hinge”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5400.
“LIKE NEW! Volkswagon frame and motor. 35 miles per gallon. Candy Apple Red. Mag rims. New soft top and doors. Bikini Top, Snap on Tow Bar. Emaculate condition. Must See! If picture doesn’t come thru, I can e-mail to you.”
UPDATE: Still Available. More Pics.
(03/11/2010) It’s a sweet build; I suspect that’s a replacement body.
“1948 Original Willy’s Jeep custom. The body is in very good condition. Brand new 350 Chevrolet engine with 4-barrel Edelbrock carburetor. Dual exhaust with headers. New paint jobs 2007. Mechanically in very good shape.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,000
Here’s a stock CJ-2A a bit on the pricey side.
“This is a 1946 Willys Jeep in excellent condition. The body and top have been restored but the engine has not. The Jeep has been in our family for at least 45 years. The Jeep has been in storage for years and we are selling it so that someone who loves great classic jeeps can enjoy this awsome vehicle. Asking $12,000…Please e-mail with any questions and I will answer them as soon as possible…Thanks”
