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 .
Here’s an interesting idea. I just ran across a website called postlets, which allows users to create an advertisement once and then have it syndicated to other ‘classified sites’ such as craigslist, facebook, google base, etc. What it doesn’t do, at this point, is list items on auction sites.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500
Lots of updates with this MB, but the shovel is still there.

UPDATE2: This jeep is in Forks, Washington. Price dropped to $1500.
I’ve lightened up the pictures, so now I can at least tell it’s a Willys of some kind. I can’t tell much more than that. There’s no information in the ad about it, just a picture.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2300.
The green FC looks like a FC-170? Lots of parts here, but the bodies aren’t in great shape from what I can see.
“WILLY JEEP (3) PACKAGE DEAL:

Note that the rollcage connects to the windshield rather than the floor of the body. That said,

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
As I discussed in this post, the original jeep was possibly based on the Austin 7. Here’s a later model Austin, of which I’ve only seen one other for sale in two years. A spare Austin Champ is also available.
“1953 Austin Champ Runs and drives. Mechanically sound and ready for cosmetic restoration this is serial #10515. Does contain the Rolls-Royce engine. For those interested please look at http://www.austinchamp.com/ for more info and specs. Also available for increased $$ is parts spare that is cosmetically better but not running.”
UPDATE: **SOLD* Was Best Offer.
It’s a parts jeep. It’s not worth much.
“1949 willys. ran vehicle as a woods buggy. has a very solid frame and alot of good hard parts. got off a kid with broken leaf springs. i changed rear to cj springs and then engine locked up. driveline all seems to work. have willys jeep chains on crap tires for the back also. was running it in 2wd when it blew up. make me an offer.”
On the heals of yesterday’s GPA, I thought I’d do a brief shout out to the Schwimmwagen. You can read more and see more pics about the Schwimmwagen at Brian’s site. Here’s a pic (below) from July 12 1944 (from Brian’s site as well). Here’s some youtube videos.
This looks nicely stock. Only one pic.
“CJ-3A with rare ag. PTO for mower, etc. $4,200 818-3121”
