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 .
With some paint and polish (and a different front bumper), this might look pretty nice.

The reason I’m selling this Jeep is because I am in the USCG and I’m transferring this summer and I do not have the time to replace the engine and get the Jeep back to 100%.

(04/09/2012) To quote the seller, “Be the envy of your neighborhood”.
“For sale is a one of a kind “Willys high hood” replica Jeep go cart. I custom built the body out of 20 gauge sheet metal with an inner steel support frame. It’s based on a riding lawn tractor frame and running gear, with hydrostatic forward and reverse drive. I changed out the drive pulleys so it goes plenty fast now. The motor is a 16 horsepower 2 cylinder that runs great. Comes complete with functional head and running lights. It’s all around a fun go kart. Perfect for your kids, grandkids, parades or to cruise around hunting camp. You could even put the mower deck back on it and be the envy of your neighborhood!! It does have a tow hitch on it for small utility/lawn trailers.Please call for more information, I’ll entertain REASONABLE offers. I do have a lot of time and a good bit of money in materials building this thing. No text messages please. $850 o.b.o Pete @ 503-830-0834 P.S. I can possibly modify your riding lawn mower, call for details.”

(02/15/2012) It starts and runs, but needs some work.
“Jeep has a rebuilt engine, but has been sitting for a while. The body is in decent shape. The engine will fire up and run, will have to poor gas in the carb. Tires are decent. It is an original 1950s CJ3A willys jeep. The jeep also comes with a later model rear seat and 2 front seats.”

This looks good. It looks restored as a M676, though it probably really is a FC-170.

Ann and I are back in Seattle tonight awaiting Dad’s surgery tomorrow. He is having his aortic valve replaced. We expect things will go well, but there are a few complications, so it’s no simple surgery.
Therefore, just a few updates tonight. More tomorrow.
Also, I will be signing books at the WAAAM Museum in Hood River, Oregon, this Saturday. So, stay tuned for more on that later this week.
