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: Cody found this US Jeepney link.
Steve wrote me about a wagon that he transformed into a Jeepney. I wrote him for more info and am waiting for additional details. If you live near Port Angeles, Washington, you might have seen his Jeepney.

I bet “fast” is an understatement.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
It didn’t last long.
“Selling my 1944 Ford GPW military jeep. It is in good condition – runs and drives, few cosmetic rust spots but metal is pretty good for most part. Several hundred dollars recently put into the jeep for tune-up and other odds and ends after a significant amount of time & money getting it running nearly ~15 years ago (new brakes, shocks, rubber, carb work, etc). Needs brake lines and fuel cell. Can be used as is for work or play, upgraded for a road worthy driver, or restored. $2500 OBO.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6250.
(10/06/2013) “Must sell my beautiful flatfender jeep, very nicely rebuilt including many, many new parts. All stock except for it was converted to 12 volts with an alternator. My first car was a ’47 Willys CJ2A, which I bought when I was 16 and sold when I was 26 because I needed a truck for my business. This Jeep was an attempt to recapture the good ol’ days, which really aren’t that easy to get back at 59! My attention is now on restoring a Jeep FC 170 and I need to sell the old ’46 to finance the project. It’s got a clear title and is ready to run.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $3000.
Looks in good shape.
“82 model jeep for sale, perfect for delivering mail, or would make just a awesome little toy to play with or a great hunting vehicle. Runs great!”

Given the trailer it is worth a look.
“Runs and drives. Only driven in yard. No breaks. Stuck valve on number one cylinder.”
Needs work, but there might be value here.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
Looks like it was setup for a plow. Not “all bone stock”.
“44 jeep willys mb military jeep. 98% complete for a restoration. 5 combat wheels, all bone stock original drivetrain, body, frame and everything else thats on the jeep. Good restoration project for the serious jeep enthusiasts that wants all original. No title but can easily achieve one. All the tags besides one that the military takes off before selling it to the public. These jeeps are getting hard to find folks ! Phone, text or email if interested. Will consider reasonable offers. No trades. ”
Maybe an FC? Seller thinks it is rare. The four speed is what made me wonder if it is an FC.
“Rare 1958 Willys Jeep all Original except for the beautiful 3D Professional camo custom paint. very clean in and out majority of restoration has been done. Jeep runs great! the reason this vehicle is so rare it came from The Factory with 4 gear shifters And a Wench in front. the 4×4 is incredible, nothing can Beat It. blinkers, lights, even this cigarette lighter and winch in front Work. this is the ultimate hunting or 4×4 vehicle you must see It to Believe it give me a call”

John shared this video about the Ford Pygmy.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
Bill forwarded this ad. The body is aluminum. It’s listed as a 1942, but the chassis is likely newer than that.
“942 Willys jeep, aluminum body, nice rims, new tires, V-6 crossfire motor, power sterring, new springs,.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $7500.
(02/08/2016) This was built as a dunes jeep.
“1954 willys cj3b. has been stretched to 92 inches. primarily built to be used in the sand. but has been licensed and insured for the last 15 years that i have had it. engine started as a mid 60’s ford 428 cu in……..as found in the kr500 shelbly mustangs. i took it down to bare block and built it to 435 inches with, 10.5 comp, aluminum edebrock heads, gear drive, comp solid cam, aluminum roller rockers, edel..broc performer intake etc. ended up with 500 hp. the trans is a built to the hilt c6 auto with b and m holeshot 2400 stall converter. has 5.38 rears front and rear. i originally built this motor for a shelbly close mustang or late 60’s fairlane to run brackets…..but work got in the way and never happened. needless to say this jeep runs on the street and in the sand very well. has msd billet distributor and msd7ml-2 ignition. which you can change rev limiter in seconds by chip change. will twist 7000 rpms…..but i run 6400 chip, car has gobs of torque.

On first glance this looks great, but there’s some damage under the front panels on both sides of the cab.
“Hello this FC150 runs very well. It is 90 to 95% original. Perfect for parade floats low gear works great.”

UPDATE: Still Available.
(05/23/2015) Sounds like it needs some work.
“Selling my 47 cj2a jeep, it has a 283 SBC motor, the frame has been completely boxed, the rear brakes are brand new but the system needs to be bled. It has a 3 spd trans in it now but not a T-90, I have an SM420 4 spd that goes with it along with a Novak adapter for the D18 TC, I also have a rebuild kit for the trans. The D 41 rear axle has a Loc-Rite locker in it and the D25 up front is all stock. The jeep has the usual rust areas but is completely repairable, the wiring needs to be gone through but the jeep ran when I put it in the garage. I also have 3 GM tilt columns that will go with it as that was what I was going to put in it. I will post some pics in a day or so, thanks for looking!”

It’s late. Ann and I have to rise early for our drive to Tularosa, New Mexico tomorrow. So, my report will be short. Thanks to Jesse and Andrea for putting on another great event. Everyone I spoke with was enjoying themselves. It was good to see old friends and to meet others we’ve only known virtually! We look forward to next year.
