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: This is likely sold. Was listed at $2500
(07/26/2012) The motor runs. Looks in decent shape.
“I HAVE A 1943 JEEP WILLYS A REALLY GOOD PROJECT TO DO, THE MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION IS WORKING 4X4 POST WW2 TITTLE IN HAND”
There may be some value here.

This looks like a solid M-38. It still runs 24 volt.
“I am selling my 1951 military willys jeep. The tub is all original as is the motor and it has O rust. The floors are as solid as when they came off the production line. It is set up with the 24 volt system and has 2 new batteries. The tires and tubes are in brand new condition and i do have a spare tire and rim. It comes with a as i was told old new stock canvas top. The bows on the jeep are new and yet need to be painted. The wiring in the jeep does need to be redone as it is the original wiring. the wiring is good for starting and stopping the engine. The engine is solid and starts and runs beautifully. The high and low 4 wheel drive work great as does the 2 wheel drive. The jeep has a couple spots that for some odd reason were spray painted black but that is a easy fix with a can on military match spray paint. I am a ww2 reenactor and i was going to use this jeep but i decided to go with a motorcycle instead. If you have any questions please feel free to call me at 616-450-2194 ask for Tim. If you are a craigs list scam artist dont waste my time with your ass wipe offers. thanks for looking”

Put a nice paint job on this and it will be ready to go. Looks good. Given we live in Pasco, this can’t be too far from me.

(06/24/2012) This looks well maintained, but isn’t all original.

(03/09/2012) It looks solid, though it could use some polish.
“1963 Willys Jeep FC-150
This is a rare cab-over style Forward Control Jeep with a 2.3 liter F-head 4-cylinder engine, 3-speed T-90 manual transmission, and two-speed T-18 transfer case. I have a clear Texas title in my name. These unusual trucks draw a lot of attention.
The engine and transfer case have seen no use since being rebuilt and they are out of the vehicle, along with the gearbox (which has not been rebuilt). Radiator is rebuilt. This truck was sold new in the Phoenix, AZ area and remained there with the original owner’s family until I brought it to central Texas about three years ago, so body corrosion is minimal. Brakes are rebuilt with no miles on them. All window glass is good. Comes with new hoses, wiring harness, clutch, pressure plate, brakes, a spare set of doors, rear window glass, bare cylinder head, spare disassembled 3-speed gear box, vacuum brake servo, plus various extra pieces of trim and small mechanical items.
I had begun restoring it but got interrupted shortly after starting the process and I now realize it will be years before I can get back to it. This is an opportunity to do an easy restoration on a very simple vehicle and end up with a rare and prized vehicle at a budget price. Photos in this ad do not show that rear fenders are removed (stored in bed of truck) and that I had begun to remove excessive body filler in both front doors.
You can research this type of vehicle via several websites but the best place to start is probably: www.thefcconnection.com/
Most of these trucks were sold in the snow belt or to government or road construction companies, so most of the survivors are severely rusted or simply were badly abused. Keep this in mind if you are thinking about bidding on one of these on eBay.
Price for vehicle, as is: $5500.00 Vehicle is located east of Austin, a few miles past the Bastrop County line near Utley.
I have other Jeep parts I wish to sell separately:”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(04/24/2012) I like the vintage look of ‘Wirick’s’. Given it doesn’t runs, the price is a bit high.
“Selling my 1956? Willys jeep. MUST SELL!
Asking $2500/obo. Very little rust.
Easiest to come look at it. It hasn’t ran for a while…don’t think it would take much to get it running.
Great project!”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3000
(02/13/2012) One runs and one is a parts vehicle.
“I’ve got two Willys Jeep Station Wagons for sale. I’d like to sell them as a package for $3500. The ’57 (red) runs, the ’58 (green) was bought as a parts car but there is enough extra parts to build it also. If you’re looking for a project with real classic looks, this could be it! Both are Hurricane flathead 6cyl, with 3spd tranny, 4WD and I’ve got the transferrable registrations for both in my name. I’ve just got too much on my plate, so I need to deplete the fleet a little. If interested, Call Joe at (516) 996-6820”

UPDATE II: Price dropped to $3995. http://eastidaho.craigslist.org/cto/3173547560.html 406-240-8961
UPDATE: Still Available. Please review this thread before contacting the seller: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=682338 as it appears this jeep is being sold by the same person (the ad displays a phone number which links to his name).
(06/18/2012) This look alike a to-good-to-be-true ad. Possible scam.
“1955 M38A1 Willys Military Jeep with only 50 K original miles, very solid, no rust holes, runs and drives good with original 4 cylinder engine and T-90 3 speed transmission.Has front turn signal black out lights still intact and drivers side rear black out light included, data plates on dash still intact.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
Looks like some rust on the driver’s side, but otherwise appears pretty solid.
“This is a 1943 Ford GPW I picked up in 2008 with intentions to restore. I don’t have the time it needs and need to clear up a little space. The pictures show it needs some body work. We have a new fuel pump for the Jeep that goes with it. It comes with the windshield, a rare back seat. The fuel tank leaks and we tried getting it fixed. The engine is free and the seller put fuel in the carburetor to fire it up and it turned over in 2008. Buyer will have to apply for a lost title on this vehicle. I do have the bill of sale around from the auction it was purchased”
