About eWillys
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.
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 literature was on eBay (and bought by me). Given this unusual document is dated October 1954, I wonder how many other docs like this were distributed to dealers and distributors. This is the first item like this that I’ve run across. I’ll get a better scan of it at some point in the future.

“1953 Willys CJ3B for sale. Completely rebuilt with new steel body. Rebuilt 225 V6 with new Comp cam. Heads have hardened seats and Chevy dual valve springs. It has all new valves, lifters, and adjustable pushrods. New aluminum radiator and HEI distributor. Rebuilt 3-speed auto with rebuilt Dana 18 transfer case. New brakes and wheel cylinders on 11″ brakes. Homebuilt emergency brakes to keep it road legal. 5.38 gear ratio with Warn hubs front and rear. Top speed is 60 mph and anything over I would consider dangerous. I built it to go play in the sand but never made it. Not safe on the freeway but should be fine just wheeling in town. It has new full set of gauges and a full roll cage. New spare tire mounted in the back so no room for back seat. Genuine German Jerry can. Home made aluminum tool box also in the back. The Willys is painted CAMO with good urethane paint; not rattle can. I fabricated lot of stuff on here so it’s a little different. PS, PB, and bikini top. Have tow bar but not mounted. It has small oil leaks here and there so don’t park on a clean driveway.”
Was originally purchased by a fire department in Lake Chelan.
“Great condition originally bought by Lake Chelan fire department brand new run and drives great this is the jeep for restoration only a little body work needs done all original under all sound frame transmission and engine perfect condition every thing works or trade for great condition cj 5 or side by side.”
“Surplus to my needs are a set of 2 matching Allstate locking hubs that came off of a 1947 Willys jeep flat fender. I do not know much about them other than the brand shown on them. They appear to need some cleaning, but I assume they work as they are supposed to. You be the judge of that.”
“This is an extremely custom 1952 Willys Jeep that has been extensively modified and is capable as a street, strip, or sand dune use.

UPDATE: This rig was sold on eBay back in 2012 (at one point referred to as “Big Red”). It was relisted on eBay in 2018. The current seller bought it earlier this year. Now, it’s back on the market again, this time being auctioned on BaT (thanks Blaine!). The below pics are from the 2018 post.
“This 1960 Willys Jeep FC-170 is a stake bed truck that is finished in two-tone red and white over black vinyl and is powered by a 226ci inline-six paired with a three-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Equipment includes a wood-slat bed, power take-off front winch, dually rear axle, and 16″ steel wheels. The truck was refurbished during previous ownership and was acquired by the selling dealer in Arizona in July 2021. This FC-170 is now offered with framed promotional materials and a clean Arizona title.”
