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 .
Craig shared this nice looking truck. Looks like the bed needs cleaning.

Appears pretty original.
“Standard rebuilt motor fully restored with new leather interior”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6000.
(01/29/2016) This might be worth a look. I wonder if it has a Gov plate.

“Jeep came from Shaw Air Force base in the 70’s. Been shetered and keep clean. Engine runs good and transmission shifs fine can take top off ”
Looks in good condition.
“I have a 1962 Willys Jeep Wagon all original, 230 cu in Tornado engine, 3 spd trans, 4 wd. Overall good condition just needs a little TLC, starts & drives. Asking $7500.00 but will talk price. I don’t need any help selling it! ”

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $7500.
(08/11/2016) “Willys Jeep GWF, manufactured by Ford. I am 3rd owner. Restored to daily driver and parade participant. 1961 Jeep F head engine. WW2 Navy markings. New tires, battery. Needs brake job, but drivable if you really mash the pedal. Clean title, current license.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Looks ready to roll.
“This 1963 Willys Jeep FC-170 is a strong running example of the companys medium wheelbase Forward Control model, This FC-170 is powered by a super reliable and ready for work and fun 226ci Super Hurricane motor.
It is rare to find these trucks in nice condition today as most were worked very hard and then cast aside. This FC-170 was expertly painted in the popular factory offered combination of red and cream. This example retains its proper tailgate markings and factory badging. Glass is in good condition as well, a big plus as good replacements are difficult to find. The side-mounted spare and un-incorporated tail lights complete the look.
Used primarily for fair weather weekend driving this truck looks just as it did when restored. The FC-170 model offered a nice compromise between looks and utility, as shorter 150s have less cargo space and longer 180 and 190s tend to look a bit stretched and ungainly.
Inside the cab things are nicely kept and almost entirely OEM. All gauges, lights and switches work as designed, including the interesting single digit scaled speedometer.
Power comes from a Continental Super Hurricane L-head straight six. Displacing 226 cubic inches and rated for about 110 HP and 190 lb. ft. at very low revs, this one starts easily, runs smoothly and offer excellent reliability. Power is distributed through a floor-shift 4-speed manual and hi/lo range transfer case, and all four tires are new.
This Unique Willys FC-170 amazingly comes with its original New Jersey Title. This is an outstanding opportunity to own a unique and highly sought after chapter in Jeep History.”
Still needs some work, but runs and drives.
“we find this jeep in a barn covered up for 20 years. It now drives like bran new, has new brakes, new fuel system. The jeep is complete with the original tires that hold air! Come take a look and drive it. It’s a true jewel in very nice shape! ”
http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/cto/5887255361.html
UPDATE: Still Available.
Looks like there’s value here.
“Time to get your restoration going, just in time for fall. I have decided to move on from this hobby and am selling all. I have two CJ3B’s in Portsmouth, the third is in Washington NH with the Car Trailer.
In Portsmouth:
1953 CJ3B Green with Cap and Plow- The motor was seized so has been sitting with Marvel Mystery Oil to free it up. This could be a great plow truck or candidate for restoration has a rare middle seat addition.
1963 CJ3B Red Mahindra Jeep. I had this running off a small fuel can, but the starter seized up so currently is not running. Someone before me spent a lot of time with the Body Filler. This would be a good restoration base or with a little work on the road now.
In Washington:
1955 Willy’s CJ3B this was a restoration project that started with a motor swap. A running motor was swapped in and the project stalled. Has now been sitting for ten years, Could be restored with the right hands.
Single place car trailer with brakes. The right front hub was seized up and it will need some tires. Has been sitting for a year with no use in five before that.
I also have some new parts: Tune up kit, Fuel lines, Hood Welting, Hood Blocks
I have two or three bins of other parts from various restoration projects. Some of these parts are in my garage in Greenland.”

“first, I was going to put this engine into my C-J-2 willys jeep I was restoring, then I thought I’d have to make a hole on top of the hood for the carburetor because it was to high. I found a 4-134-L flat head that was as good as this one, so I bought it and that’s what I finely put in. this motor runs very good, I have it on a stand if you want to hear it come and look. I do not take e-mail’s or text just call my phone”
UPDATE: Sold out of NJ for $9500.
It doesn’t run.

http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/pts/5885263467.html
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $400
(11/12/2016) Craig spotted this one. Could have some parts value.
“Willys pick up good parts truck $400 firm has big back window not sure of year”
On the Ann front:
She hasn’t gotten any better, but hasn’t gotten any worse. She still spends most of the day in bed. We believe that there’s a problem related to neck muscles, nerves, and upper vertebrae. Their interrelationship seems to be causing both the nausea and the pain in her head. She’s had several physical therapy appointments that have helped isolate the area that seems the root of the issue, but it could take quite a bit of therapy to loosen that area.
On the Rusty front:
A couple days ago I bought an NOS 0-9 1956-1957 speedometer face and engine on eBay. If for some reason I can’t get my speedometer fixed, I will go with this. And, if I do get it fixed, then I am sure I can easily sell this. You can see these are pretty close in style, even using the same pointer (which I wasn’t sure how I was going to find it).
0-9 that I just bought:
0-8 that I have:
While in Seattle the past few days I ran across a fantastic deal on a welder and blasting cabinet. I jumped on them and got both setup. The cabinet (a nothing-fancy Harbor Freight model) should work fine for cleaning parts.
Based on the reviews I found, this Clarke 130EN Mig welder should be good for repairs on the body. Apparently, anything thicker than a 1/4″ is too much for it, but I have an old-fashioned stick welder to tackle those issues. It came with everything you see, including a full bottle of Argon, an extra reel, two masks, cart, and other items.
On the Biscuit front:
I found this chevy scatter shield in Pasco a couple weeks ago. I took it with me to Seattle. It was by far the best price I’ve seen on one, primarily due to the holes in it. It was used by an old sand jeep dragger.
While I was in Seattle, I formed a cover plate for the hole that spans the bottom and bolts in place (plate not shown). I plan on patching the side with some 1/4″ steel. I’ve been waiting for quite some time to get a scatter shield. Now I can begin to reassemble it (with a few mods).
Not all the doctor appointments are without value to eWillys. We recently went downtown for an ultrasound on Ann’s heart. While walking down a hall, I spotted this parade photo, taken in downtown Pasco, Washington. I’m guessing it was taken during the early 1940s, because it features a bunch of Slat Grille MBs.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $13,500.
Looks nice.
“This 1949 Willis Overland Jeepster is the perfect driver with just enough work needed to make it your own. It has: professionally rebuilt original 4 cyl. flathead, rebuilt original 6 volt generator and starter, all new brake drums, wheels, cylinders and master cylinder. Original style wiring harness, runs great and looks good. Newer paint has some chips Top and top frame are installed but needs to be stapled to the oak base member. I just leave it down, fair weather car with no side curtains. The car has only about 150 miles since body on restoration and engine build.”
It could use some better pics, but looks pretty nice.
“Have a 1948 Jeep Willys in amazing condition. This car can be used as a daily driver, and as a classic car.
•327 short block
•3 speed transmission
•pro comp suspension
•metal rollcage
•DVD/AUX stereo with water proof speakers

This car has no leaks.”
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/cto/5885536058.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7200
(10/14/2016) Looks like the gas tank has been moved to the rear.
“After much consideration, I am selling my 1953 Willys jeep high hood. This is a full resto-mod. It has a 1963 327 Small block Chevy with a four speed. Power steering, tilt column, custom bumpers, relocated boxed fuel cell and a rancho suspension. It has a dual exhaust, new best top, warn hubs, wiring harness and the interior is rhino lined. The paint is fresh and is the factory color, Lozun red. You will be hard pressed to find one this nice and tow ready. The tow yoke is fully wired to operate all lights.
The tires are new Mickey Thompson Baja claws with pro comp powder coated steel wheels including the spare. I am the second owner. It was built to tow behind my father’s rv. I have been told this motor is out of a 63 corvette. The intake manifold matches corvette motors issued at that time, but the motor is a common 63 327 Sbc. I do not need help selling it. Please, no dreamers or tire kickers. Email me first then we will exchange info and set up a time to see it. If you want specific photos let me know and I will get them to you. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
“Original restored 1962 Willys Jeep Wagon 4×4. Kept this beauty original.”
Has square bolt heads on the windshield, indents, and a column shift. The VIN is supposed to be 17093, which is high for the square heads.
“1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A. First civilian Jeep Model. 4WD (Low and High) and 2WD. Three on the tree manual transmission. Flat-head four motor with all original parts with a 6V electrical system.
Does not run, motor is seized. The entire vehicle needs a TON of work. Would be a full restoration project with complete tear down and rebuild. Its been in storage in weather free storage for 12 years. Prior to that, it was barn stored. I entered ‘salvage’ condition above because there is not a “poor” option.
I’m taking offers with no certain price point in mind yet.”
http://wheeling.craigslist.org/cto/5884459798.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4200.
Seller took this to satisfy a debt and knows little about its drivability. It’s not quite as stock as the seller thinks, but appears fairly stock.
“We have a nice original 1948 Willy’s Jeep CJ2a for sale. The only thing that has been changed is it was upgraded to a 12 volt alternator from the 6 volt generator. It’s a 3 stick setup. 1 for the 3 speed transmission 1 for the hi-lo setting and 1 for the 2wd to 4wd it also has locking hubs. There is a roll bar and a bikini top which is not currently installed. It has the original 4 cylinder 134L engine in it. All the running gear is Dana. The Jeep was made by Kaiser Jeep in California. It has no rust and except for a few small bumps and bruises is in fine shape. All gauges are there and apparently in working order. It has a brand new exhaust system ready to be installed. All seats are intact but need cleaning for dust. Tires are marginal and need to be replaced with original Jeep style tires. If your looking for a mint condition Jeep this is not it. Not sure about its running condition as we took it for a debt and have not tried to start it. It has a clean title. It shows 21070 miles on the odometer not sure if those are original or not. Glass is good and it has a vacuum windshield wiper on the drivers side and a manual one on the passenger side.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $850. Pics added.
(11/19/2016) Seller believes this is a WWII jeep, but it is a 1947 CJ-2A, based on the serial tag.
