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 .
Nick spotted these two vehicles near Glen Cove in case anyone’s interested. My email issues with my main account delay our connection, so he can’t be sure if they are still available.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
Runs and drives.

Seller wants these projects gone. The Koenig hardtop on the 3B looks restorable. The 3A body appears to be sitting on a later model CJ chassis.

“What’s it worth??? Need to sell it to work on my other one… Too many projects”
UPDATE: Here’s an example of a Windsor, Canada, data plate, one of the CJ-5s that was imported from Canada to keep up with sales demand in the US.
===================
On August 21, 1959, the first Canadian-built jeep, a CJ-5, rolled out of the assembly plant in Windsor, Canada. Below are two articles and one advertisement that celebrates the acheivement.
This first article appeared August 22, 1959, in the Windsor Star and shows the actual first CJ-5.
This second article appeared September 19, 1959, in the National Post our to Torono, Ontario, Canada, and shows the actual Windsor Plant.
This third item is an advertisement that appeared in the August 25, 1959, issue of The Province, a Vancouver newspaper.
Nate spotted this article in the 1st Responder Newspaper about the Kennebunk Fire Department’s 1947 CJ-2A, which is still in service.
There’s also a pic of the jeep on the department’s website:
UPDATE: In the comments section you’ll see a reference to another, similar Command Car on eBay. Yet, there are differences between the two. I’m not sure what’s going on with these.
Roger Martin spotted this hand built Command Car model. It is 15″ long, so it’s a good size. I told Roger that I’d buy it, but it’s not a good use of my budget.

“Hand made Military Jeep by a WWII Veteran who served in North Africa. All metal Modeled after the Jeep he drove . One of a kind . Built meticulously no details left off. Great for Military collectors 15” L 7” h. 51/2 “ w .”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was BaT auction.
Blaine spotted this FC-170 that’s being auctioned on Bring-A-Trailer.
“This 1961 Jeep FC170 is a running cab-over pickup project finished in yellow over multi-tone cloth upholstery and powered by a 226ci ‘Super Hurricane’ inline-six paired with a three-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case. Equipment includes towing mirrors, a 108″ bed, steel 16″ wheels, and an AM/FM radio. The truck spent time in Georgia and Florida before it was acquired by the selling dealer in 2018, and servicing conducted in preparation for the sale is said to have included replacement of the transmission. This Jeep Forward Control is now offered at no reserve in Indiana with a clean Florida title.”
