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 .
The “Jeepsterman” Morris Ratner has a variety of old brochures for sale on his jeepsterman website. You can see an example of one of those to the right, which is about the roper digger. Did you know the roper digger can be used in multiple ways? Now you do … Another interest brochure compares the jeep to the scout.

Either the tailgate has been patched or this jeep has a fiberglass body. I can’t tell which from these pics. The back part of the roll cage is somewhat unusual — at least I haven’t seen the bars organized quite like that before.
“Small block chevy, runs great, headers with side pipes, Warn overdrive, highlift jack, good tires. Could use some body work.”
To do my build the way I want (which is routing the power steering through the cross member) based on this article and the new summit racing catalogue, I believe I would need:
5 -6AN EAR-309106ERL 90 degree bend tube $16
2 -6AN EAR-300106ERL straight $7 each
2 -6AN EAR-983206ERL Straight Bulkhead $4 each
1 –6AN to 11/16-18 Not sure on part number yet approx $7
1 –6an to 5/8-18 Not sure on part number yet approx $7
-6an power steering 6ft perform-o-flex hose EAR-406006ERL $45
That's a grand total of $161. If I only do the power side, I can cut this amount in half. I'm gonna talk to the folks at my local hydraulic store and see what they can do for me.
“I bought this cj3b last fall with the intent to make a rock crawler but lost interest. This is a rare high hood model that was only avaible for a few years. Here is what I know or have been told about it. The engine is a Buick 225 v6, T14 3spd tranny, Warn overdrive with a stacked PTO, Dana 44 rear, Dana 27 front and 4:88 gears, all from a 1970s Cj5. There is a pto winch on it that does work! The Jeep runs and drives great, but it does need some work on the brakes, (pulls to the right while braking).”
Update: **SOLD**
James asked me to post this CJ-2A for him. Some of the upgrades he doesn’t mention in the ad include swing pedals with a hydraulic clutch, trusses on the front and rear axles, and reversed front springs.
“This is a 1949 CJ2A with a no rear gate (MB) pan. It has a CJ3A one piece windshield.
Engine: GM Dauntless Odd-Fire V6 225ci Dual exhaust
Front: Trussed Dana 30 (72 jeep) 4.88 lockers
Rear: Trussed AMC 20 (72 Jeep) 4.88 lockers
Trans: Muncie 4speed
Steering: Saginaw power with Chevy SS tilt column …”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The term ‘rare’ accompanies a variety of FC-150/170s.
“This extremely rare 1963 Jeep Willys FC-170 4X4 is both a stake bed pick up and a hydraulic dump bed. The trucks prior owner was into these vehicles in a big way and kept his eyes open for the right FC to purchase for over 15 years. He acquired this truck from the original owner and had it for another 15 years until illness forced the sale. The prior owner advertised this as “Very Complete & Original all the way down to the Windshield Washer Bag that hangs on the dashboard.”
"two (2) 31×15.5×15 v-bar tires. Run them forward in the mud/snow/dirt or turn them around and run them backwards in the sand. These tires provide alot of traction. Rims are for a 15" tire and are 14" wide with 5 on 5 1/2 lug pattern(1/2 ton ford & 86 and older jeep). There is some surface rust on the rims but nothing a little elbow grease and some paint won't take care of. These are not implement tires (like on a backhoe). these are made by Goodyear and I believe they are radials. They are called super terra grips. They are not street legal/off-road only tires. call 503-458-7010 Chris Phone call will be best will deliver for the cost of fuel and a cheeseburger."
"All original except farmer modified bumpers. Axles, tranny, Transfer case, and entire engine compartment is original and all there. Body is very strait except floor boards are pretty thin. Give me a offer I need to sell."
“Willys Forward Control Jeep pickup. Body complete but in fair condition. Frame good. Not running but complete “
I assumed these pictures were lost, but they appeared in a trunk my ex-wife kindly gave back to me. The first pic is a good shot of my first jeep’s roll cage. The second pic is a pre-paint job pic of my first jeep stuck in the Rabbit Hole, a small mud pit at the Eastern edge of the Naches Trail. The third pic should come with a caption “Oh does my nose hurt!”. The fourth pic is a great shot of the jeep parked at Roche Harbor Resort on San Juan Island (Washington State) while working there in 1987. The final pic shows the down side of oil pressure problems — broken rod, piston, and other parts.
