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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
At least it runs. It might be a mish-mash of parts or simply the wrong title, which explains the ’61 date also.
“1961 Willys Jeep. Jeep runs but has slight knocking. Bought as a rebuild project six months ago but never got the time.. Stout machine.”
It kind of looks like a leopard paint job.

“For auction is this 1945 Willys MB, it runs and drives great. I acquired this jeep about 2 years ago from a gentleman in town who had it for years. I thought at the time I would do a thorough restoration, but unfortunately I have alot on my plate and no time to invest in this task. Overall this jeep is in wonderful condition, engine is extremely strong as well as drive train, there are no rust issues to speak of, body is in super good shape, tires are basically new, seat cushions are new, also equipped with a PTO driven winch in working condition.To put it simply if you’re looking for a good, solid, very clean MB here you go. It’s not a text book restoration by any means however it represents itself extremely well and if so inclined you could finish to whatever degree.”
UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $3000
I can’t tell much from the pics.

UPDATE: Either the seller is misinformed or explicitly misleading people, but this isn’t “all original” and I’m mad at myself because I didn’t check it out more carefully! Thanks J.R. for getting me to re-evaluate this one. I should have realized this the moment I saw “12 volt”.
“1944 Willys MB Military Jeep 4×4, flat head 4 cylinder, 12 volt electric system, all new brakes, new carb, equiped with a Thompson Submachine gun holder, air raid siren, original spare tire lock. fun to drive. and all original except carb and alternator. comes with manuals and books for jeep. $8200 obo 1(714) 970-8704”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
It starts, but sounds like it hasn’t been driven. The seller has listed a number of specifics so check out the website for more info.
“THE FOLLOWING IS MY STORY WITH THIS VEHICLE: This FC-170 Jeep was purchased three years ago from a neighbor that has since passed away. He was an engineer and this vehicle was his baby, he kept it up-to-date in many respects. He also used it for many years as a working truck and parked it under an overhang and sometimes under a big oak tree. It had a toolbox bed, but I removed it. I bought it with the intent of restoring it, but have I not had the time or the money—my loss may be your gain. Based on all the FC-170s that I have seen for the last couple of years, this one is in good shape. The following is what I have done to it (very little besides admire it and dream of rebuilding it) …”
I included the pic below because it is a good look at how the tranny and transfercase were adapted to work in the FC.
