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 .
This might be a good deal.

“I have a set of 4 aluminum slot mag wheels that are in very nice shape. The bolt pattern is 5 on 5.250 with a 4″ center opening. These came off of a 1960 jeep willys that I got but I think they may also fit ford or may fit some old buicks or olds, not to sure on it. The slot mags are in very nice shape. Give me a call, I’m asking $150 for the set and I will also through in a steel spare.I would trade for a set of 4, 235-75r-15 white letter tires.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
This is a project with a bunch of new parts, including an entire fiberglass body kit.
“I have a jeep for sale that i started a couple years ago, and i don’t have the time to complete. I started by putting later model cj-5 axles under it, and purchasing a 4” rusty’s offroad lift. I added terraflex “revolver” shackles as well. I bought new gear sets for both front and rear, and new OX lockers to match. Included as well is a one piece axle kit. For tires i bought 34×10.50 super swamper LTB. There are many misc. parts as well that go, but too many to list. ***ALSO INCLUDED IS A NEW FIBERGLASS BODY KIT INCLUDING TUB, FENDERS, AND HOOD.*** there is the factory grille and windshield frame as i thought they would hold up better than a fiberglass one. well over 6000 invested, sell it all for 3500.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
It’s got an unusual top.
“1950 Willy’s Miltary Jeep for sale. 2000.00 OBO. Jeep is in need of new tires, but will make a great project. was running last time we started it.”
Here’s a buyer for a Governor if you have one for sale.
“Looking for a governor for a Willys 4 cylinder Jeep engine. Belt drive. Needed for an older Hobart welder. would consider buying entire welding machine for parts. Darrold 406-265-2166”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
“THIS IS A VERY OLD AND ROUGH WILLYS FC-150 JEEP. IT IS NOT ROAD WORTHY, AND MOST LIKELY NEVER WILL AGAIN. MATTER OF A FACT IT HAS ONE WHEEL OR MORE IN THE JUNK YARD. I FIGURED BEFORE I TURN IT OVER FOR SCRAP I WOULD GIVE ANYONE WHO MIGHT USE IT FOR A FEW PARTS A CHANCE. ALL THE RUNNING GEAR IS STILL WITH IT. THE WHEELS STILL TURN AND BY SOME MIRICLE STILL HOLD 30 PSI OF AIR. IT HAS BEEN SITTING AROUND FOR A GOOD 10 YEARS THE BODY IS SHOT, MOST WINDOWS ARE DAMAGED. THE FRAME HAS HAD A WOOD REPAIR IN BACK, YUP WOOD. THE MOTOR COVER HAS BEEN REMOVED, SORRY I GAVE THAT AWAY. THE MOTOR STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL OIL AND ANTI FREEZE AND MOTOR TURNS OVER EASLY BY HAND. THERE IS NO TITLE, NO REGISTRATION, NO NOTHING.”
UPDATE: Was $4000. *SOLD*
This truck has some nice updates. The seller would prefer to trade for an equivalent Wagon.
“1948 willys jeep pickup. 230 chev six with headers. 12v conversion. ele fan. bigger drum brakes. floater ford rearend. heater. power sterring. bucketseats. Asking $4000 but would prefer to trade for a 50’s jeep station wagon 4X4 in good running licensed condition like mine. I Dont care about body condition, just mechanical.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
This old Jeep has an unusual paint job.
“About as original as it get. Has been setting, but a new battery, a little carb work and a repacking of the wheel bearings and you can peel its cloths off and enjoy the coming warm weather. Lotts of extra part included at that price.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
(03/08/2010) Based on the pics, this looks in pretty good condition for a East Coast FC-150.
“1957 Jeep Willys FC150 , CAB FOWARD narrow track , 134 Hurricane ?, 3 speed, Dana 18 transfer case, wooden flatbed. Bought last fall with the hope of frame off restore but no time and other project is neglected. Earlier restoration. That work is starting to bubble. Prior owner was a Jeep collector / enthusiast that rebuilt entire vehicle and worked it building a home in NH, motor and tranny also. Motor Runs great, drove good. Brakes need to be gone over (sticking). I drove it last fall around the block a few times. You could spend a few hours sorting out the brakes and be on the road the same day. Easy project, comes with abunch of extra parts that I have gathered but will pass along with the truck: Extra / Spare T-90 side shift tran, Dana 18, narrow track radiator (very rare), Replacement steel lower Cab corners and steel wheel well shapes, valance panel, extra dog house and more. Saturn Overdrive available but not included. It most urgently needs brake service / cleaning, driver floor patch (small flat), and door weather striping. To be really nice it will need some body work and paint. Wheels and tires in pic are not included as I want them for my other project. $1800”
There are some new Bantam and MB testing photos at Life Magazine. There are some great closeups of the Bantam. Note the first pic — I believe that is the first ‘jeep’ ever stuck in the mud; it surely wasn’t the last! All six of these photos were taken by David E. Scherman in 1940.
