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 .
While looking for a clean example of the Willys Overland script, I came across an auto-created page, a page of complete jibberish that attempts to make the owner money by getting hits and advertising google and craigslist ads (therefore, I won’t provide a link). However, on this same page I found this odd CJ-5. It looks like the picture is somewhere in southern Utah. Anyone seen this elsewhere?
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is rough, but it has both a PTO Winch and Newgren Hitch.
“You are bidding on a early model Jeep FC 150 parts truck that has a Newgren Company 3 pt. hitch. Model #BL 4770. The truck also has a Ramsey bed mounted PTO Winch set up with the pto and lever still installed, including chains to the sprockets. The truck had this rare combination installed when bought and was used on a farm. At one point the Jeep had motor trouble, and the truck was left sitting. The Newgren hitch is still installed and the truck would work great as a “library vehicle” to see how to install it onto your Willys CJ2A, CJ3, FC150, FC170 ,or CJ3B. The hitch is in rough condition, but the basic parts are there to use, refurbish, or use as a pattern. The original hydraulic ram and pump were were not installed on the truck when I purchased the Jeep. You can use a 12 volt pump and ram from Northern Tool, Grainger, etc. to power the hitch or look for an original. Some folks have also used the snow plow hydraulic pumps from Willys vehicles that are a little more common.
Please look at the photos carefully (the red cj2a is NOT INCLUDED!) You are getting a good starting point for an ultra rare 3 pt. hitch setup for a Willys Jeep. The condition is such that you will need to rebuild, refurbish, and add/replace parts. You also get a pto winch with the attachments to bed mount it, the pto attached to the transfer case and the control lever. The rest of the truck is included, but would only be good for some parts. The truck is rolling on its own and I can help load on a trailer.
To aid you with restoration, FARMJEEP>COM has an extensive write up on the restoration, installation, and additional parts sourcing of a very similar hitch. Please look at theses pictures closely. The condition requires work, but could add remendous value to your Willys or Jeep when installed and refurbished. Still has the original Newgren Comapny tag.”
Appears very nice!
“YOU NEED TO SEE THIS ONE!! California truck with 18,000 actual miles. Completely restored…. won’t last long guys! If these photos dont show I will send some. ”
