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 .
This Times Record (Troy, New York) article on December 14, 1961, shares the news that the Rensselaer County Sheriff just received a new jeep (FC-150) and boat.
Blaine shared this ‘toy’ jeep he saw on Collectors Weekly. Neither of us had seen it before, but a commenter on that site said it was an “Art Decor piece likely sold at Hobby Lobby.”
“It’s a vintage Jeep Tin Toy that I recently bought. The writing on the hood is “U.S.A. 252678548”. It measures about 11 1/2 inches long, about 4 inches tall, and about 5 inches wide. On the bottom, it has “52” stamped on it. On the hood, it has a star.”
Looks solid.

“1945 Willys Jeep WW2 4wd frame off restored, parade ready, runs great, $14,000 / OBO Listing for my son in law. He inherited the jeep from his grandfather a few years ago and want’s to sell it.

The Jeep is garaged & is located and can be seen in Feasterville, PA. Cash or bank certified check.”
I thought this custom rebuild of a CJ-8 Scrambler would be more expensive.

This is an interesting half-top. I suspect it’s a nicely done custom creation.

“This Jeep runs, drives and stops. There are lots of new parts too many to list (have all receipts). It comes with a complete soft top and doors. The tires are 31x 11.50x 15s. The headlights, taillights and brake lights work. If interested please text for first contact as I am on the road during the day.”
I’m not sure if this is a good price or not. I rarely these for sale.

“Belt drive governor for CJ2A — used for belt and PTO Drive application”
The grille has been pushed forward, likely due to the installed V8.

“1947 Willys jeep this is V8 powered by Buick with a standard transmission 4×4 body in good shape 74 year old vehicle tires are good for off road. Has title”
UPDATE: Brandon confirmed this was a scam.
The photo included in this craigslsit ad shows an FJ from a different ad with an email address from “Carla” added. This proved to be a scam, as the same gmail can be seen in some other ads (as this google search shows).
“Unrestored 1962 Jeep Fleetvan FJ-3.
Ran when parked, but it’s complete and comes with a clean title.
$3,500 or will consider reasonable offer.”
