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 .

(10/25/2016) Needs plenty of work.
“Up for sale is a very rare jeep pickup truck.
It’s a 1961 jeep Fc 170.
They only made 30k of these in the few years they were produced.
This one does need a lot of work to the body to be road worthy but they are extremely hard to find.
This has a flathead 6 in it and a 3 speed transmission. The front axle is a Dana 44 and the rear is a Dana 53. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Josh has listed this crankshaft pulley, a part used to power some early Ramsey winches. This video tells more about Ramsey’s crankshaft driven winches:
“You are bidding on a nearly impossible to find positive crank shaft driven winch/pto CLUTCH PULLEY. I believe this example was manufactured by Ramsey and is the key piece for a number of winches used on vintage jeeps.
The assembly appears in good shape and complete but could provably use good cleaning and some refreshing. The pulley unit is the only piece I have.”
This may be worth a look.

(10/16/2016) This M170 has had the large opening partially filled. It also has a Meyer half top. I’m not sure why the seller has included a photo of an FC, but maybe it is for sale?
“M170 Military Jeep in good overall shape for the year! These are getting harder to find and it runs drives and stops. Plow is working”
Uhm.
“1948 Willy’s Jeep. Completely restored. Blue in color. Not actual miles because it has a new engine. 1989 Engine 4 wheel automatic drive. V6 4.3 Engine. Local buyers only. No shipping this vehicle.”

No title. Seller must get off property.
“This is a 1947 Willies CJ Jeep. As the picture show, it is in very poor shape and is in pieces. As far as I can tell most of it is there except for seats. I have no idea as to worth. It may be better for parts. I have not title. I need to get it off the property soon. Make me a reasonable offer and you can have it. Call me for location/directions to the property.”

(07/29/2016) This has full floating rear hubs and a PTO. It runs, but clearly needs work. I’ve been reading through a bunch of late 1960s Four Wheeler magazines and I’ve been surprised to see how popular the rear truck-like bumpers were on southwest 1/4 jeeps.
“Ex military, 95% rust free, nevada title 1965 289 cid ford v8, original lock ohts and pto winch (no brakes) $2,400 will consider part trade have a wall phone and thats all call for details any time, leave a message”

This photo from the November 21, 1957, issue of the Spokesman-Review shows Ben Carlin and Half Safe following his trip around the world.
Marty let me know about this unique way of carrying oil and grease.
This Spicer Ad appeared in the July-August 1944 issue of Army Ordnance. Looks like a Slat Grille is coming over the hill at the top of the ad.
UPDATE: Ted got a hold of this a few years ago. No one seems to know who modified or for what purpose. Now he wants to let it go. If interested, email him at willysted@charter.net.
He wrote, “I was lucky enough to a be in the right place at the right time and have some interesting items to trade towards purchasing this really unique Willys body. Not really sure on origin or history on this oddball as it came from a buddy of mine who also didnt have much history on it, but I knew it was really cool and thought it would be the ultimate foundation for a great Yard -plow Jeep.
I thought it would be a great Jeep to have all your tools, torches, jacks, etc etc in to minimize walks back to the garage to get something while working on stuff out in the woods or yard. I was going to start with a good rolling and running 2a frame and make it mechanically sound and mount a Plow or Snow Scoop on front with a rear mounted PTO winch hoisting Boom on back of Jeep for a great little Utility Jeep.
Unfortunately my unfinished projects and Jeeps that need attention have got me forced to part with some of my future projects that Im never gonna have time for. This Body is very unique and definitely deserves to be restored and put to use somewhere. I think with a good rolling and running 2a or 3a frame and some work it would be a great Winter project for someone looking for a cool Willys build. My loss is going to be someones gain.
Make me an offer !!! Email any questions and I will try to help”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,000.
(08/03/2016) Looks like most of the jeep’s history is documented.
“1951 Jeep Willy

comes with detachable doors and front tow hitch
recently serviced at “Jeeps R Us”
runs and looks great
email with any serious inquiries”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1100.
(10/15/2016) Runs and Includes a parts jeep.
“Runs and drives good, has title, all lights and turn signals work, many of extra parts. Comes with a whole other parts Jeep. I’m too busy to enjoy it and hate seeing it sit needs a good home.”
Plenty of spare tires with this jeep.
“The frame-off restoration includes new front brakes, a new gas tank and lines, new front, rear, and transfer case seals and a total rewire with new wire (6 volt).
It has been updated with a more powerful 134-F “Hurricane” overhead valve 4 cylinder engine.
It has been fully cleaned and repainted.
Completely new tub body. New fenders. New hood and custom scoop. New windshield and frame.
Sporty black and silver custom paint job.
All new period gauges and equipped with seat belts.
This JEEP is ready for exploring the trails, hunting, or roughing it in the canyons.
It is perfect for a quick spin to the golf course or mail box. Kids love to ride in it. It is licensed and ready to go.
It would be fun at JEEP shows or in parades!
We are showing a dually tire setup, but they are currently not on, nor are they included.”

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $15,000.
(11/25/2016) The drivetrain has been rebuilt.
“Over 200 hours of restoration time in this one. Engine has been rebuilt, new bearings, seals, u-joints. Most recently we had the transmission and transfer case rebuilt by a transmission mechanic, replaced fuel tank, carburetor, much of the shift linkage, brake lines. Seat belts have been added and it’s be switched to a 12V electrical system. Tires are new, spare included. It didn’t have the spare mounted on the side when we got it. It’s been kept inside our garage.
Price is negotiable. We can deliver within the 48 states.”
