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: Still Available. Looks like a good price. Note Vic’s comments below.

It’s dirty, but I can’t tell if there’s much rust or not.

(06/04/2010) DKW Mungas were sold in the USA by Studebaker, along with Mercedes-Benz. Here are a variety of images of the Munga. Munga is the German Acronym for “Multi purpose Universal Cross-country Car with All-wheel drive”.
“1958 DKW Auto Union Audi Jeep 3=6 Munga Gelandewagen 3cyl 2 stroke FWD/4X4. VIN 68602889. Miles 24,579. NATO Peacekeeping Jeep. FWD 4X4 3cyl/ 2 Stroke. This rare piece of post war history is a DKW / Auto Union Military jeep which was later used in civilian production. This car came to Seattle in 1982 from Palo Alto, California where it had lived for decades. It was driven regularly in the 80’s and sold with a DKW collection and put in dry storage until now. It is believed complete and also has many spares including a good crankshaft, which is an important item on this car. We have taken many parts out of the car to show condition of the body, but we will load it for the purchaser and carefully package it. As you can see the car is partialy disasembeld and it does not run.
The Auto Union was the collaboration of DKW, Audi, Wanderer and Horch
These vehicles are extremely nimble, and will climb a very high grade. They rev like crazy, and are a hoot to drive. Front wheel drive to four wheel drive on the fly, they are nearly impossible to get stuck in. 3 cylinder two stroke with only seven moving parts in the engine, there are strong parts clubs overseas and in the U.S. These are a fabulous conversation piece, and can be used instead of a golf cart at a car show or auction site. Very collectible and priced to sell. Nice restoration project. There are several owners clubs in the world and parts are accessable.”
UPDATE: Javier purchased this and plans to restore it.
It might not be all original, but it appears mostly original.
“1943 WWII era Ford Jeep. This vehicle is all original and was running great when parked about five years ago. This is an all original military jeep and will make a great addition for a collector, or a good deer lease buggy. Need to sell this weekend. $2500 OBO.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500 for both.
“2 1947 Willys CJ2A jeeps both run and drive, 1 converted to 12 volt, only one title! 850.00 a piece or 1500.00 for the pair, if no answer leave message will get back to you a.s.a.p”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600. Has a Koenig hardtop.
(12/30/2008) Here’s a parts jeep.
“Old non running jeep, has a 283 1962 chevy engine in it,last time ran about 8 years ago, always ran great, but has not been used since then”
UPDATE: Still Available
(09/15/2010) This looks good, but the bottom of the driver’s side of the body doesn’t quite look straight. I’m not sure if there is a rail along the bottom, a little indent or what it is or just a photo issue.
“Nice running and driving willys. 4 Cyl , dana 44 rear end. New tags untill 2011. . 559-593-3590. Thanks.”

According to the seller, that is the original paint.
“For sale is a original and rare 1959 FC170 with the 9 foot bed option. Original paint, never been repainted. Two previous owners, complete and fully documented ownership history, including the original dealership bill of sale. Everything works. Everything on the Jeep is original, the interior is complete, seat upholstery is original, the running gear is refurbished and works as it should, including the engine, the 3 speed manual, the transfer-case, 4 wheel drive, axles, diffs, all in good running condition. Rebuild gas tank and rebuild the sending unit. This Jeep drives real nice, and everything works, the heater, all the electrical, the turn signals, lights. Complete with original headliner, original door panels, original sun visors, and a few rare items like a vinyl cigarette box holder attached to the visor. The stencil “Jeep” and “4 Wheel Drive” insignias on the tailgate are original. The tires are original old stock, most likely the second set, dating early 60’s. A true survivor, this Jeep spent 90% of her life in one family, who owned a RV business in a small town in Washington State. The Jeep was mostly used to plow occasional snow on the RV lot, otherwise the Jeep parked in the dry. The body is completely stock and original, no accidents, no rust with the exception of pitting and surface rust on rear fender flares and surface rust on the bed floor. Because it is so original I never had plans to repaint or frame-off restore this Jeep, I always loved the original condition it is in. I just made everything work properly, with the goal to avoid any modern upgrades or parts replacements that are not era correct. This Jeep drives real nice, it breaks properly, shifts nicely and the engine sounds very healthy. This FC170 is a true survivor. Your chance to own a piece of Jeep history. Original West Coast Jeep all her life! The snow plow mechanism works, but I do not have the plow blade. This FC170 is incredible. West Coast Jeep all her life, documented ownership history, I am the 3rd owner. I even have the original dealership bill of sale from 1959! Original paint!!!!! Surface rust on bed, fenders, but NO critical rust in all the common areas!”
