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 $7500.
Does not run.
“1960 Jeep FC, complete truck with bed and tailgate, currently not running but has the entire drivetrain in vehicle. I’m including a box of miscellaneous fc parts that I’ve collected.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/13/2022) It is an ex-Shriner Jeepster. I believe the seller wants $6000, but he has listed multiple items on the listing.

“1949 Jeepster. I owned this Willys Jeepster 10 years ago and sold it. I just bought it back but driving it 5 miles home the oil line broke. I got home and found the person had installed a copper line that broke at the flange. It still ran but rattled with RPMs. The guy I sold/bought it from had rebuilt the top end. But I think it now needs the crank at least examine if not turned. And new bearings. It still runs. Needs correct interior. It has top bows and interior panels. It was a Shriners car out of Oregon when I first got it. So interior is not original. I had planned to restore it but decided I would rather have a 60 to 72 C10 or Ford.”
UPDATE: More on Transportation Parts Company thanks to Barney Goodwin of Barney’s Jeep Parts.
Barney wrote, “I hope this helps for your question on Transportation Parts Co. I put together a little display. Those of us in business who have older inventories have Transportation boxes peeking out at us on the shelves. Shown below are several vintage items from our inventory including a whole tray of gauges.
The name SEAL TEST® is owned today by someone in Europe who produces quality parts supplying to dealers. An example is the shiny box to the right behind the tray.
In our library we have several of their catalogues and can be valuable quick references which are very accurate compared to some today. Inside the catalogue shown in the back of the display and which I’ve put in a ring binder for frequent use, I have copied the introduction which gives a good, brief history of the company in their own words.
The vintage belt buckle is a promo from Transportation.

Original Post November 27, 2022: This photo was posted to Facebook by Quinton. These private-labeled “Seal Test” Dualmatic lever-style hubs were sold out of the Transportation Parts Co, a jeep parts reseller out of Huntington, New York.
I’m sure someone knows more about Transportation Parts (or even dealt with them in the past).
John let me know that there is another Hobby Lobby toy jeep. Made of metal, it is 10.5″ long, about 4″ wide and long, which is a pretty good size, and currently half price at $12.99. The grille is a little different, probably to avoid trademark issues. It is reminiscent of the Italian Campagnola: http://www.ewillys.com/tag/campagnola/

This looks in pretty good shape. Could be a good price.

“Runs Only surface rust CJ 5 4 Cy 3 speed New windshield New brake system New fuel pump New aluminum radiator”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Has a tranny leak, but the rest of this looks in good shape.

“DJ-5 Postal Jeep runs and drives but leaks ATF out the main seal. Plenty of new parts included, new brakes installed and refurbished radiator. Would make a worthy project, I just do not have the time. Will need trailered due to atf leak.”
Worth a look. Chopped windshield?

“CJ2A Jeep Willys with M100 1/4 ton trailer. Engine doesn’t turned. T90 transmission.”
Seems worth a look. Includes a non-running FC-170 and an extra rolling chassis.

“1959 Willys FC170. Complete non running with title. Engine turns over but has Marvel Mystery oil dumped down the spark plug holes to prevent seizing during storage. The transmission shifter easily goes through all the gears and the tcase shifts as it should. The truck does have rust as it was a grounds maintenance vehicle for many years and it is from the 50s after all. I do still have the snowplow and it is included in the sale. Also included is a spare roller without a body. It has a Ford V8 a Willys transmission and tcase and the axles. It also has helper springs, heavy duty reinforced bumpers and bed braces should you really want to build a heavy FC truck, say to haul a vintage camper or such. I have new in box a 12v conversion and tune up kit along with a new in box complete wire harness. I would be willing to do a partial trade for a 241OR transfer case for a Wrangler, or an overdrive unit or a rear 540 PTO box for a CJ5.”
Given the plow setup and the fact that this runs, it seems worth a look if you need. a plow jeep.

“1979 J-20 Jeep. Runs and drives. Plow works. Transmission was serviced last year. Used to plow parking lot of shop since 2008. Leaks power steering fluid. Brakes need attention. Truck is rough, don’t expect a gem.”
Don is selling these Hy Lo parts. Hopefully, someone can use them.
https://charlotte.craigslist.org/pts/d/shelby-hy-lo-willys-jeep-snow-plow-parts/7555774924.html
“Hy Lo Jeep Snow Plow parts removed from a CJ3A Jeep but may fit other models. Most everything except the blade. The hydraulic cylinder would move up and down before we removed it and other than that we know very little about these. $150 Pick up in Western NC Unable to ship.”
