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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a dually that has a six lug rear. I thought that was odd, but then I checked out a ’69 CJ-5 and it had the same setup.
“1965 Jeep CJ5 4 x 6 dual wheel open body 3 speed. Dana rear end and Chevy 350 motor. 47000 original miles. Originaly sold as a Trencher. Mechanically 100% body excellent.MUST SELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
This looks rough.

(08/19/09) This is a great looking dually.
“1948 Willys Jeep, CJ2, 4wd, Wench, Power drive, Safari Rack, Hard Top, Green”
http://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/cto/1973847074.html
UPDATE2: Still Available
UPDATE: Craig confirms that this is a FC-170 DRW; it’s unclear if the diesel is original or if it is a replacement engine (rather than a M-676 with a Cerlist Diesel.)
“I have an FC 150 and an FC 170 that will be sold as a pair. The FC 170 has no motor, trans or transfer case. It was a RARE factory diesel with a Gafner loader. It has a GVW of 9000# with Dana axles. Found a bell housing and flywheel in the cab so I assume it is off the diesel. Odometer shows 7500 miles. The FC 150 is pretty much complete except for the seats. It has a 4 cylinder F134 motor that will be rebuilt shortly. It has the standard bore and reground crank and bearings to match. Waitng for a front seal and valve stem seals. Odometer shows 21,500 miles. I am just stating what the odometers say, don’t know if it is the actual miles or not. Both Jeeps last plated around 1973-74. I am open to REASONABLE OFFERS. I am not going to give these away so don’t waste my time. I do have more pics if you are serious.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a no reserve auction that starts at $800. Note this has the dually connectors on the rear and the engine runs.
“1960 JEEP FC 170. DUEL WHEEL, ALL WHEEL DRIVE. 6 CYL. FLATHEAD 4 SPD. ENGINE RUNS, WAS RECENTLY USED AS YARD PLOW. 29,148 MILES. HAVE MANY EXTRA PARTS INCLUDING FRONT AND REAR CAB CORNERS. GOOD GLASS. HAS AFTERMARKET RADIATOR WITH COOLING FAN MOUNTED ON REAR OF CAB, SEEMS TO WORK FINE. PLEASE CALL WITH ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING AS VEHICLE IS SOLD AS IS. ”
I think the pics say it all! Here are a couple pics of the matching Bantam Trailer.
“Awesome Old Willys!!!!!! It has Willys dealership ad ons including: 3 POINT HITCH, DUAL REAR WHEELS, and POWER TAKE OFF. ONLY 78k ORIGINAL MILES. Ready for the Show!! Featured in September 2001 4 Wheel and Off road magazine. WON 2000 Four Wheeler Magazines “BEST CLASSIC 4×4″ Award. Meet super low reserve price and I will throw in a classic matching Bantam Trailer for the Jeep!!!! You won’t ever have to worry about anyone in the neighborhood having the same vehicle as you for sure.
This old jeep is lots of fun, runs great and is an awesome deal. 10’s of thousands $$$$$$$$$$$$$ invested to make this Jeep the best it can be. Buy it for a fraction.
Frame off NOS body with all stainless hardware. No expense spared. I am ready for something else, so my loss is your gain. Please ask any questions you have and anything else you need to know I will try to provide.”
While it was cold and rainy, mixed with, gulp, a little snow here in Boise, weather improved out in Ohio for the Midwest Willys Reunion. Both Bob and Brian snapped a variety of images and gave their own perspectives
Bob writes, “Much better weather today in the mid 70s. There looked to be about 100 Jeeps of all sorts today. There were lots of Cj2as and 3as, three CJ3Bs, and lots of truck and wagons. A whole lot to look at! The little Jeep dispatcher [the red jeep a few pics down] was very cool and sold for around $5500. Also, there were lots of parts to be had. Tomorrow is supposed to be in the high 80s.”
Hey Bob, what is sticking out of the side of the yellow flattie? Is it an air cleaner? Is the ‘windshield’ glass or plexiglass?
What’s the color on this flattie, red or orange or a blend? I like the color. Nice dually, too!
This is the DJ-3A that sold. Are these DJ-3A windshields taller than a CJ-3B windshield? Or were they simply re-purposed for the DJ-3A?
I’m assuming that is an aftermarket bumper? I can’t say I’ve seen one of these on any jeeps for sale that I have seen.
Brian seemed to be captivated by the trucks and wagons during this visit. He captured some great pics of Chad’s project (Chad received the Toledo Brick award, something the Reunion staff has been doing for several years now. It’s a brick from the old Jeep plant in Toledo.) and a pic of his favorite at the show, this wagon below (click on the pic to get a much larger pic).
Here’s images of Chad’s truck:
And 2 other wagons:
UPDATE: Steve found a 2nd patent for an alternative Dually system. I’ve moved both Dually patent information to the New Dually Page.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
This appears to be a dually with a variety of mods.
“1949 Willies Jeep Pickup. Original cab, custom pickup box with wood floor, 302 Ford engine, C6 trans, Chevy 1 ton rear axle, Mustang front suspension.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
(02/18/2010) Here is a rare dually.

Here’s a flatbed dually.
“Up for auction is a very rare Jeep Cabover, the body frame and interior are in very good condition. The engine is a “Flat Head” 6 cylinder that runs great ….no smoke. The Dump Body is a fully functional Electric Hydraulic system. Some body work has been done to the cab. The Dump body and cab have been painted recently. The doors are in great shape, the passenger door needs some adjustment. Driver and passenger seats are in great shape Mechanically the Jeep is very sound condition but will require some tinkering (TLC). Please review the pictures provided carefully ”
UPDATE: This was bought for the ‘buy it now’ price of $8000. Thanks Dennis!
(11/24/09) I like it, in part because it looks like it still gets used. Marysvale is deep in the middle of Utah. I’ve never been there, but I’ve been jeeping out of Mt. Pleasant above Marysville. I’ve also flown over that area a number of times and scoped it out pretty well (you can see a variety of trails from above) with the idea that I’d go jeeping there at some point. Also, the San Rafael Swell is a good area to explore also and is ignored by most tourists (or used to be).
“Willys Jeep FC-170. Dually flatbed. Purchased restored & used as light duty ranch truck. Stored inside. Still in nice condition. Has stock engine & transmission, 4wd. Was previously used as a parade vehicle but now carries a Lincoln welder (not included). Interior is all redone with blue velour seats. Runs & starts good in warm weather. It is not run in the winter. There are external exhaust pipes on each rear corner of the cab – sounds great too. This truck shows 80,000 miles but seller cannot guarantee actual milage.”
