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 .
I accidentally wandered across these unusual photos from the Timberlane’s thoughts blog. I’ve never seen a Civil Defense FC. Maybe someone out there knows more about it? I *think* this is in California, based on the front license plate. I have lightened all four shots. You can see the originals in the original post at the website.
This appears to be a nice build.

“Original classic. 6 volt Jeep Overland Company 2X4 pickup truck. Runs great and has had a lot of work done to it over the years keeping it original. The tires are new however they are cracked and need to be replaced. There is very little cancer (only on the door bottom and very little). The floor pan is whole and the doors have not been sprung. Has a heater and the smallest windshield wipers you have ever seen. New brakes and engine rebuilt a few years back. The interior is in really good shape. Drive a classic home for $2700 and run it for another 50 years.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5800
(06/16/2010) This has a good looking half cab It appears to have the wood slats on the hood — I think I’ve now seen several of these with wood slats in Montana. I’m not sure why that is.

Here’s a VEC #12110 that’s been militarized and ‘stickized’.
“This is a complete frame-off “down to bare metal” restoration of a VEC CJ2A Willys Jeep, S/N 12110. A jeep restored like this by a shop would cost well over $40,000 counting all the hours of “love” that went into the project. We took great care to ensure this jeep (which was manufactured on the same line as the last military jeeps) maintained as many original components as possible. Restoration began in December 2009 and we just completed it in August of 2010. You can see by the Buy It Now price that my reserve is between the starting price and the BuyItNow.
The original content of this jeep is about 95%. The jeep has the original (although converted to stick) column shift transmission. Everything on this jeep is completely restored or rebuilt. Please see pictures. We have many more pictures of the project from start to end. We have all receipts and documents and research and will provide a detailed book of the restoration process, all receipts and history of this particular jeep. The numbers on the hood are referenced from the Military database for this VIN number. Note that prior to our purchase of this restoration project, this jeep had the Leaf Springs replaced and also the Shackles were changed to a modern version by the prior owner. ….”
