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 .
David sent us a few pics of his 1956 Wagon next to his 1951 Cj-3A. David notes that it “still has the 226 flat head and is still 6V.” Very nice! Thanks Dave!
It’s a good looking GPW.
“Originally purchased privately in January of 1983 in Heightstown, New Jersey. Has been garage kept since purchase, and believed to have been prior to also. It was primarily used for parades, re-enactments and static displays. Entire body and interior is original, including seat covers, ID plates, and windshield. Body was stripped down and repainted. Some additional body work and mechanical work required to get into show condition. Still has 6 volt system, may need new wiring harness. Generator rebuilt in late 1980’s. Motor rebuilt at time of purchase. Shimmy in front end when driven and small stone chip in driver’s side of windshield.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
These tow trucks don’t come up for sale everyday. That said, it’s a bit rough.
“This is a nice FC170 (FC-170) forward control Willy’s Jeep tow truck. As you can see, the truck is a total restoration project, but being that it is so rare, it would be well worth the investment. It has the original Canfield tow truck equipment minus the sling and A-frame off rear bumper. Has the original motor, transmission, and axles. The transfer case needs repair. Has no front drive shaft. The FC originally came equipped with the deluxe cab option. Also suspect that it may have the severe service option but can’t be sure. More photos can be seen here. The vehicle is located in Woodford, Vermont and will need to be picked up. No shipping or tranportation will be provided. There is no title, but bill of sale will be provided.”
This is one of the nicest M-170s I’ve seen. It’s not museum perfect, but that adds some nice character.
“This Jeep is in great condition, it will still start right up every time and runs excellently. This has been very well taken care of and is quite rare. My grandfather served as a Lt. Colonel in WWII and beyond. He purchsed this Jeep from the Army after his retirement and restored it for me. It is a mechanical masterpiece, they don’t make them like this anymore. Nothing gives me more pleasure than cranking up this piece of authentic United States military history and driving back in time. This vehicle is really great and I hate to part with it. I am willing to let it go for less than it is valued because of financial circumstances….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“1947 Willys Jeep (eats early broncos on any 4×4 course LOL). Powerful cammed 305 SBC with dual exhaust (30,000 on engine). Original Warn overdrive with existing drivetrain. Front lock-outs with big 11×2 inch brake upgrade. Runs excellent. Jeep was from California so the body is very good. Entire jeep needs some tlc in all areas to be extra nice. New master cylinder included, but not installed. Also included in sale is 2 brand new front buckets.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1950.
This is unusual.
“A unique hydraulic dump body jeep conversion, also comes equipped with a 6′ plow blade. New shocks and master cylinder. Has NYS registration. Please email with a phone number I can contact you with. Thanks for looking.”
This looks like a parts jeep. It looks like it’s been sitting a while. Note the hubs appear to be warn hubs. Maybe there’s some other updates as well.
“This is a willys jeep 4×4 the year is between a 48-53. It has the original 4cylinder flathead motor, high/low transfer case. It would be great for restoring or using it for hunting. I am posting this for my uncle so if you have any questions email me and I will ask him and email you back. I have seen this run and drive. This does not have a title.”
UPDATE: Was $2500. **SOLD**
This is a project that’s a bit expensive for a project.
“1949 Willys CJ3A with 327 Corvette engine – $3,000. This Flatfender will make a great project vehicle! The 1968 Corvette 327 engine (Holly 4 barrel) is not running and probably needs a rebuild. Includes Bikini Top and parts for a full roll cage. The tire sidewalls are cracked so bring your trailer.”
I’ve not heard of an MVD? It does appear to be an MB body. The story behind the purchase is a bit odd. He tried to convince his parents he didn’t want it, and just wanted to sell it, but has done a bunch of work on it? hmmmm…..
“… Well, after weeks of trying to convince my parents that I do not want this thing, here it is up for sale to you. I will tell you what I know about the vehicle. Having personally worked on it, the Jeep runs very well, solid engine and drive train, four wheel drive works, all electrical items, except the fuel gauge. The fuel gauge needs the sensor in the tank, the actual gauge is fine. The outside paint actually looks good, orange in color. The soft top is showing some significant age, windows are whiting….”
I thought this picture was pretty unusual. Surf over to the FC Connection website to learn more about the Rolligon, a vehicle based roughly on the FC-170.
