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.
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 .

“1956 willys jeep…good frame, body has had some patching, but is solid…gas tank not hooked up…runs/drives with temporary tank…motor sounds good…have not fooled with gas tank, brakes or plow…asking $1650 as is…Vemont doesn’t issue titles for older vehicles, sold with bill of sale…best to call and discuss…”
Neither run.
“One 1947 willys pickup and one 1950’s unsure of year. Buying both for one price. The yellow one is a 1947 and ran,drove before pulling motor for cracked block. I know where you can pick up another block for 100-200 $. This pickup also is a rare one being a 3 speed on the column. Has the 134 L 4 cyl. It is all original. It has a clean title. The other pickup has a great body and is also running. It has the straight 6 and floor shift. I have a complete front end for it but no bed. It has no title. These are projects and need work before driving. I have a set of good doors that go with them. ”

Jeff’s got a project FC and several other things for sale.
“Selling my ’58 Forward Control FC-170 and parts collection. The truck has a 292 Chevy 6 in it, runs and drives – barely. It wasn’t a bad runner before the wiring shorted out. It has a NOS carb and a Warn overdrive. Comes with a bunch of parts including a nice windshield, one side glass and a drivers door. Asking $1800
Also have another very nice rust free 9′ bed with fenders and all the other bits. Asking $1200
Last but not least I have a rare Forward Control T-98 4 speed with shifter, spacer – all the parts to install it except the main drive gear, I was going to put the overdrive in it. Herm the overdrive guy rebuilt it along with the transfer case and it’s hasn’t been installed. He didn’t much like the condition of the gear cluster so had to source a donor T-98 for those parts and it ended up costing me $1400 I even have the dog house cover with the 4 seed shift pattern plate on it. Asking $1600
I will take $4000 for the whole lot if someone will take it all.
There are more parts than shown in the photos, an original engine, another fuel tank, seats, wheels and tires, axles….. More photos available upon”

Harry Neilson’s brother James is selling his “Fine Art Model” 1/8 Willys on eBay. According to Harry, there were only 250 of these models made by this commpany and the model is regarded as the finest, most proportionately correct scale Willys. Here are more about the fine art jeeps here: http://www.fineartmodels.com/Jeep.html

This sale is for a 1:8 scale Fine Art Models Willys MB Jeep produced in 1992. This model is number 60 of 250 ever produced. Numbers started at 20200900 as the hood marking and went up to 20201150. The model measures approximately 18″ long.
FAM’s model of the Willys Jeep is considered the most sought after miniature amongst Jeep enthusiasts for its attention to detail, proportions and gauges, and material usage in every respect.
Every part on these jeeps (as is the case with many of their other models) is manufactured by studying and measuring a dissasembled wartime vehicle. Parts are either soldered together or bolted; no glue is used. The sheet metal components on this vehicle are in formed brass, castings are bronze or white metal, the windshield, headlamps, parking lamps and instrument lenses are glass, shift boots and door straps are canvas, weather stripping is rubber or felt, and correct pattern Goodyear tires are made using their own molds in rubber.

It’s an ex-Navy jeep with a data plate.
“This Jeep has been the subject of a complete restoration to “good driver” standards. This means that the chassis has been cleaned, painted, all working parts replaced or repaired as needed. The brakes are new, brake lines and master cylinder are new, the emergency brake serviced and made to work well. The engine has been compression checked, all parts checked to make sure they work and do not leak, then painted. The transmission works and shifts correctly, drained and refilled, the transfer case works correctly. Both differentials have been repaired and re-filled with gear oil, they work well. Lockout hubs are installed on the front hubs. 12 volt electrics are installed, and the wiring harness is new. Tires are essentially new, (less than 150 miles). Windshield glass is new. The body is all NEW, not repaired, painted to look like a Vietnam-era Navy Jeep. IT IS LOADS OF FUN TO DRIVE, GETS GREAT APPLAUSE IN PARADES! ”

Russell shared this link.
“This is a 1946 CJ2A Serial Number 48768 that is in original barn find condition. It has the hard to find governor and rear PTO setup for a farm jeep. It has many original part and has the original motor in it. It does not run, the motor does not turn over and the transmission and transfer case seem to be stuck as well. It is a great candidate for a restoration or just repair what’s needed and drive it. The front floors are the worst of the sheet metal, the rear quarter near the spare tire mount will need some work as well and the windshield is shot.”

“1950 CJ3A Willys Jeep
Rebuilt in the 80’s and modified with a Ford 289 engine.
Engine runs well, but could use a carb rebuild. 120 average compression; 49-50 psi oil pressure.
The rest of the drivetrain was rebuilt, but is original.
No noises from axles, transmission, and transfer case. All function fine. Four wheel drive is perfect.
Clutch works fine, brakes work but could use attention on the front passenger side.
Tires will leak air after a few days.
6782 miles since rebuilt, always stored inside.
Speedometer, oil pressure, fuel, amps and temp gauges all work.
Paint was never perfect, and there is some small rust staring to show.
Very fun Jeep!”
The floor will need work for sure.
“I’m selling my 1946 jeer willys project. I have done a lot of work but like has other plans for me, so I’m selling it.
I have a title for it, which is a big plus especially in Nj.
I have replaced the floors, hat channels, rear riser, steps, side braces, etc. please look at the pics. The left side of the body still needs some welding.
4 rims were sand blasted, primed and painted with automotive paint. 2 tires have new ndt tires mounted and I have one more tire and tube that needs to be mounted.
The engine was running before I disconnected everything in order to pull the body off. I also have 2 extra radiators and I have an extra working transmission because I’m not sure of the condition of the trans that’s in there.
I also have 2 extra bell housings and 2 flywheels, 2 extra engine heads, transmission mount, and lots of other parts that I’ve accumulated over the past few years including a rear seat, steering wheel, and many more parts.”

It’s a project.
“I have a CJ3a Willys Jeep for sale. I believe it is a 1953 model, but am not sure. I purchased it to restore, but never did. The Jeep is not running and is not complete. It’s missing a hood, gas tank, seat brackets, and miscellaneous other items. The body is not in great shape, but the frame appears to be in really good condition. I also have a spare motor (flathead), transmission, transfer case, and front and rear axles. The front axle need a chunk but the rear axle works. I have another frame as well. It’s basically two rolling chassis with one body. Also, I have a Ford 302 motor included. Will sell the Ford 302 separately, but prefer to keep the Jeep parts together. Cash only. No title or VIN due to age of vehicle, bill of sale only.”
