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 looks straight and solid.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
“I am forced into selling my 1956 Willy’s Jeep. It is in pretty good condition for it’s age. It has a nice vinyl top and a new backseat. It has one very small patch of rust on the rear tailgate. Due to an accident that I had and being out of town for work, we haven’t been able to use it for awhile but last time we used it, it ran very well. Right now it won’t start and we believe it is a bad starter. We just haven’t had time to find out. We use it on the farm and in the mountains. A really fun 4 wheeler and hunting rig. We have dropped the asking price by a considerable amount because of the starter. It has a winch on the front and also a tow bar. It has fancier wheels than are shown in these pictures and larger tires. The tires are in fairly good condition.
Whoever had it before we did, cut the front fenders to put huge tires on it. We removed the tires and put a more reasonable size on it but we never got the fenders replaced. We put fender flares on it, which look okay. It does have bigger tires than are shown in the pictures and nicer wheels. If you are interested, I will take current pictures with the other wheels and tires. It’s just been such crummy weather that I didn’t think I could get a good picture. These pictures are only a year or so old.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed at $5900.
The pic is small, but this looks like a nice rig.
“One of a kind; few this nice around! Original 226 Continental flathead 6 cylinder, Warn hubs, 16 inch wheels / tires, clean interior, nice paint, Koenig mechanical drive winch / bumper.”
The paint is faded, but I can’t tell if rust rims the edges or not. It’s got PTOs front and back.
“For Sale: 1958 FC 170 Willys Jeep Truck 4×4. It has a PTO in front of jeep and a nd a PTO in the truck bed. Motor runs excellent. No Title but can get a bonded title for truck.

This looks clean and solid. I don’t review many of these (they don’t usually pop up in my searches), but it looks like at least a decent deal. I was thinking about getting my son one of these for his 16th birthday. It would be something with 4wd (good for the salt lake area) that he could use in winter and use to explore the desert.
“New starter motor, new fuel pump, new tuneup. 100K plus miles, excellent condition for a ’69. 4 wheel drive, automatic on the floor, 350 V8, Tilt wheel, turbo 400 transmission. Runs great, needs brake job.”
This looks like a great price. Maybe it doesn’t run?
“1947 willys 2a original body has newer buick V6 225, 3 speed T90 trans, I have all three seats 1550.00 call Steve @ 720 244 6642”

There might be some value here.
“Lets make a deal. 1952 Original Willys Wagon. Engine turns and was told it was running. It seems like it has be overhauled. 3 speed trans w/ overdrive is out but all pieces are there. 2 wheel drive, colum shift, NO title will give bill of sale. Make me an offer or lets trade something. i.e. hunting quad , jeep 4×4, guns etc.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(02/06/10) It’s almost done …

Gerald forwarded me some classic offroad postcards he owns. He says he’s got some more and I look forward to see them! These three cards take us across the country.
We start at Cape Cod:
Here is a card from South Dakota:
Finally, here’s a shot from the Oregon Dunes.
A frustrated reader named ‘john doe’ emailed me tonight, leaving me an email with no return address. ‘John’ was frustrated because many of the links related to vehicles for sale are no longer valid. ‘John’s’ frustration with this issue isn’t unreasonable; however, I keep the content for my purposes and for historical purposes (sometimes comments are attached to them for example).
To better answer ‘John’, and to remind readers, here is what I put in the FAQ section:
Craigslist Ads expire at different rates depending on where the ad is located. In many cases, Ads are repeated. In some cases, they aren’t re-listed even though the jeep remains for sale. So, I always err on the side of ‘for sale’ unless contacted by someone or unless the ad is deleted by the author.
The overall goal is to get a sense of how these old flat fenders are priced so that both buyers and sellers have a better sense of their local and national market.
Finally, in some cases these jeeps provided a teaching tool to show others something unique or unusual about the jeep.
So, to get the most out of this site, you are best off reviewing it every day or every other day to see what’s been added.
In addition, if you are looking for a particular jeep in a particular area and the search tool isn’t helping, just contact me (d@ewillys.com) and I’ll be happy to help you.
What I won’t be doing is deleting old content simply because it is old, though I do delete various posts when I think they no longer meets my needs.
What I would be willing to do is pay someone to build a better search tool so that posts can be searched by dates. However, to do that I’d have to raise some money from readers, as I don’t have the experience to build that plugin. If there’s an interest in this feature, and thus an interest in having me add a donation button to pay programmers to improve the site, then I’m open to that option.
Thanks,
– Dave
