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 .
UPDATE: As Lee points out, this has the wrong gauge cluster for a 59. Either the year is off or the body is a replacement or something else.
Seems worth a look. Will need work of some kind. Appears to have some EasyLok hubs.

“Needs a few things to finish the project, I’m just tired of it and need the money for a j3 cub”
This likely has an f-head.

“Selling my 1948 Willys CJ2A, or would consider a trade for a Rolex Submariner. 12 bolt conversion done. Have clear title. Runs and drives amazing. Body is average, but then again, when you’re 75 years old….. Recently spent over $6k on making sure she runs good and stops good. Didn’t spend the time to make sure a “larger” guy like myself could fit in her and go off-roading. (It’s tough for a fat guy to drive a rig when neither the seat nor the steering wheel move)”
It will need some work.

“1961 FC170 for sale, title in hand. $7500 obo
Was going to be the family project, started cleaning it up and taking it apart and the family moved to other favorite activities, so it’s time for me to move on from it.
Has some unique features (grill guard, bed rails), we had the engine run about 15 seconds once to see if it would fire, and started working on repairing a big dent behind the driver. Has pretty much all of the main parts, glass, doors (glass in one door is cracked but intact).”
This is supposed to be a solid Jeepster, but will need some engine work at the very least.

“Decided to sell our 1950 Jeepster, 6 cylinder. Even has the rare “6” emblem on the hood. Clean TN title in my name. New over the past year: tires, brake master cylinder and wheel cylinders, new aluminum radiator, rebuilt starter, rebuilt water pump, carb rebuilt (twice), plugs, plug wires, distributor cap, button, points. The engine was supposed to be rebuilt before I got it. It idled, but wouldn’t rev, prior to all the work. Slip the clutch and it pulled in 1st and reverse in the garage. Also has the overdrive unit. After the work……..nothing. I added an electronic ignition conversion, nothing. We’ve owned this for several years, always stored inside. We’ve come to understand that we will not get this car up and running and have moved on to other projects. This is a solid car that just needs someone’s magic touch, no side curtains (we have frames), and no top (we have the bows on the car).”
May be worth a look for a parts jeep.

“This is a project keep willys No tittle only bill of sale”
This includes a Kelly 23 series hardtop and a plow. It *might* be an actual Farm Jeep jeep.

“1953 Jeep Willys CJ3A. Title has body type as farm Jeep and model as FJ (farm Jeep ?). Still has 6 volt electrical system and pretty much original other than the aluminum radiator. Brakes and emergency brake works but it has never been down the road since I’ve owned it for 11 years. Always starts on the coldest day of the year to plow driveway maybe twice a year. Was last ran in October of last year and never had snow to use it last winter but it just started right up without charging the battery just pulled the choke and it fired. Very dependable and hydraulic plow works fine up and down, angling the blade side to side is done manually though. I would recommend towing it even though it has brakes I don’t know how well it will stop on the road it has never left my driveway in 11 years after brake system was replaced, engine rebuilt and clutch replaced.”

A big thanks to Chris for surprising me with this purchase from eBay. The post card shows CJ-5 #2, which ferried visitors up to Harney Peak in South Dakota.
UPDATE: There’s another one of these brochures on eBay.
======================
Original published March 20, 2023: This early version of the San Juan Scenic Jeep Tours brochure was pre-FCs. It was listed for sale on eBay at some point. Thankfully, the images were still available.
The price on this rare ad has dropped to $12.00 (with $7 shipping). I can’t recall seeing this one. The seller has four of these for sale.

“1947 Willys Jeep CJ 2a. Has a Hurricane F Head 134 out of a later CJ, hence the bump in the hood. The swap was probably done decades ago but seems to have been done well. Wiring has been gone through and headlights, high beams, brake lights and tail lights all work. Runs good and drives good but has some play in the steering. New military style seats and eBay special “Ahwoogah” horn. Clean Title. Not in a hurry to sell but will entertain offers”
UPDATE: This post originally appeared September 28, 2013:
It’s a dirty business, but hunting down jeep stories takes me through all types of content. In this case, I had to search through several pages of bare female breasts and bodies until I found this story about a Yakima Jeep Rodeo from the March 1959 issue of Modern Man. I can report that accompanying the enthusiastic models were several other interesting stories . . .
This truck seems worth look. The interior looks in good shape.
