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 $29000
As a former owner of three of these, I can attest to their lack of value.
“Austin was commissioned to build the Champ to replace WWII Willys Jeeps in the British Military service. It is powered by a modular Rolls-Royce engine that produces 80 horsepower. The engine is linked to a 5 speed synchromesh transmission that has no integral reverse gear, drive being taken by the propshaft to a rear transaxle which incorporated a reverse mechanism that acted on all five ratios and is controlled by a separate lever. The suspension is fully independent double wishbones with a longitudinal torsion bar and telescopic hydraulic damper at all four wheels.
Recently, over $8,000 was spent replacing all the axle seals and gaskets for the front and rear differentials. The front and rear shocks were also replaced and the entire undercarriage and suspension was cleaned, undercoated, and detailed.]”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000
It is rare when a seller writes that a jeep is more than 90% restored and it actually looks more restored than that. Looks good.
“This is a 90% restored military jeep with everthing, simulated Gas firing 50 Cal M2H machine gun, water cooled 1919 30.cal,thompson M1A1 sub machine gun, M1 garand,
colt 1911 , M20 bozoka with 2 dummie rockets , radios, fording kit and much more . All guns are dummies and leagel.I have restored Nilitary Jeeps for years. I have restored 52 over the last 20 years”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
There’s a little rust, but otherwise looks solid. Probably won’t take much to get it running I bet.
“Jeep FC-150
Straight and solid.
Has not run in years.
Worthwhile project
Very complete except missing driver’s door window.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800.
Looks good for the price. The winch sure looks wimpy.
“For sale is a 1958 willys CJ3B 4cyl engine and original drive train. The body was worked on over 20 years ago.It came from Colorado in 1990 and has been in WI since”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $950.
No title. Looks pretty complete for a parts jeep.
“I bought this Jeep for a project. Due to health reasons will not be able to work on it at this time. No title, some rust, great for parts or could rebuild. Former owner rebuilt engine, serviced transmission, transfer case, front and rear end. Straight frame. Please call for more information, leave message”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Were $4000.
(05/29/2012) One runs and one doesn’t.
“I have decided to sell both my willys trucks together, I will not separate. The black one is a 1948. It has a later model overhead valved, 134ci 4cyl motor. It runs and I have been using it here on the farm till recently. It has started to “flood out” a little in past few weeks. I have filed for the title and am wating to get it. Both trucks have good tires. The green one is a 1960. I have the title to it. It does not run. It has the 6cyl “super hurricane” motor, but is apart. It has the original koenig pto drive winch on it. This is kinda rare. I simply don’t have the time to restore either one of them. I will not seperate, and the price is firm.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. No price was listed
“Looks rough but it does. Has a decent motor with no smoke. Has a custom made stainless steel gas tank. Call for more detail. Phone calls only between hours of 8am to 6pm.”
This includes a rear PTO.
