About eWillys
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.
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 .
The jeep platform has been used for a variety of different projects, including multiple versions of the Zamboni Ice Re-surfacer. But, I didn’t know that in 1958 the famous Oscar Meyer vehicle was built from a 1958 FC-150. I guess that didn’t work so well, as they didn’t do it again based on the info I’ve found.

A little bondo and you’ll be back on the road .. lol
“1953 cj-3b for parts or complete rebuild. You part out. Runs great, complete jeep. Selling to first buyer with cash in hand and a trailer to haul it off. This jeep was being towed when I rolled both vehicles. Please drive by and take a look.. Wheels, tires, and top that are on the vehicle do not go with sale (I have originals, although bent).”
This looks quite stock and appears solid. It doesn’t run.
“The ultimate project vehicle. Here it is, the one you want. 54 Willy’s pickup. Body and fenders are in good shape. Straight 6 engine. Runs. No brakes. Make an offer, but don’t get too cute. I know what it’s worth.”
That is an unusual F-head engine hood modification. The Willys-Overland hard top looks great. I don’t think the grille looks original (the parking lights appear to be a later model). The overdrive isn’t original either, as it hadn’t been developed as of 1946.
“Offered for auction is a classic 1946 Jeep. This jeep has been family owned since new. It is so old the VIN # is 65111. It is all original except for the installation for an up graded F-Head engine in the early 1950’s. The hood scoop was added to allow for the room needed. It has “dual-matic” front hubs and a Warn 20% reduction overdrive all standard. This rare old jeep also has the original metal top and a heavy duty (tropic) radiator. The tires are new. This jeep runs perfectly. It is ready for restoration or modification. It is a great example of solid steel construction from 1946. A true American Classic. Bidders please note it is offered locally as well.”
