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 .

(08/06/2015) The pics don’t show a finished jeep.
“1948 Willy’s Navy Jeep CJ-2 just finished being restored. Original rebuilt ( 200 miles) 4 cylinder engine with manual transmission. New tires etc. This is a rare Navy edition that would make a fine addition to someone’s collection of military vehicles.”

This Shriner’s Mini-Jeep photo and caption were published in the 1955 Willys news.
I wish the photo showed the whole wrecker.
“1945- U.S. troops sit in the “jeep wrecker” they created and with which they tow in jeeps that have run into trouble on the Western Front.”

“For sale is a very dry Colorado FC-150. Been in storage for over 15 years.
Thorough and honest photo link here: http://s818.photobucket.com/user/estrucko/media/1957%20FC-150/P1120299_zps8nc95ced.jpg.html
The FC-150 was produced between 1957 and 1961. This one is a “Narrow-track” referring to the wheels being inset on the chassis and it has the shorter 81 inch wheelbase vs. the longer on of the FC-170. Basically it’s a Jeep/Willys CJ-5 chassis with a Forward Cab and pickup truck body attached. These trucks were industrial workhorses in their day, now sought after by collectors.
This has the original F-134 Hurricane 4 cylinder that came with all FC-150’s. Everything is there and complete. The 4wd system has high and low range 4wd and a 3 speed trans.

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was on ebay.
Looks right for someone.
“1948 Willys 1-Ton Truck. This is a real nice Willys Truck. It starts and runs fine. Engine sounds good. It is real eye candy to people that know old Willys and trucks. I purchased 15 months ago and have only replaced some fuel and radiator hose. Prior work done by previous owner. No service records available. I understand the engine is not original but is the military L-head (?). See picture.
Don’t know the quality of the body work repairs over time, but it looks nice. Bed steel is solid with welded steel slats (to replace rusted areas). There is evidence of rust under cab and rocker panels that has been repaired. There is no visible rust. Continue reading

This has a turbo, too.
“This is a beautiful 1947 Willys “Arctic” Jeep that is mostly complete in a conversion to a turbo aspirated 4 cylinder Kubota Diesel. The $1200 conversion kit is fully installed, the transmission has had a full $1200 rebuild by Bobby’s Transmission in Meridian, and I installed a $900 overdrive unit on the transmission. The $1200 turbo kit has only been test installed, and then I removed it to prevent damage while I was working on fitting the engine to the Jeep. The turbo fits perfectly….see picture. The original gas tank has been replaced with a new one, the radiator has had a commercial clean out, pressure test, and paint job, there is a new electric fan to replace the engine mounted fan, and much more. The only parts I have not yet purchased for the conversion and rebuild is either a full brake rebuild kit, or a disk brake conversion kit, which was what I was planning to install. You will also need to buy a set of CHT and turbo boost gauges. I have already purchased almost everything else to complete the conversion, including a new high end billet gas pedal and a Diesel “pull to stop” control.
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $2500.
There’s some value here.
“Have a 60’s Willy’s Wagon. No title. When parked 5 years ago it ran. No trades.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
(08/12/2015) That looks like the original color.
“Perfect winter project or potential parts vehicle. 1965 CJ-5 Kaiser Jeep 4×4. Clean Colorado Title. I bought this jeep two years ago for $1800 based on the recommendation of a jeep enthusiast who was going to help me rebuild it. He got transferred for work and the reason I’m selling. My loss is your gain. $1500 OBO. There is a bent rod in the motor (4-cylinder Willys Hurricane), otherwise it ran solid. Swing by and take a look if you’re interested. I don’t know the front or rear end, transmission or transfer case specifics. The Jeep is located in Loveland, CO. The seats are still in the Jeep, I took them out to show the overall condition of the floor board.”

(08/17/2015) The 2A is a parts jeep. The M-38 hasn’t run in several years.
http://westmd.craigslist.org/cto/5174146018.html
“1951 Willys M38 military 1/4 ton Jeep and 1946 Jeep CJ-2 plus lots of extra parts. I obtained these years ago with hopes of restoring or combining to make a ‘MB-like” Jeep. Time and health have not been good so I am selling it all.
M38 flat fender serial MC45339, built 12-51. -The M38 has had its original engine replaced by a F4-134 Hurricane and thus a hole was cut in the hood for clearance. There is a spare hood to replace it with. The 24v electrics were removed and rewired by 12v stock equipment. The brakes have been rebuilt and the vehicle was runnable 4 years ago, but has been under tarp since 2009, and has deteriorated.

(03/08/2013) It needs a fuel pump.
“This jeep is all stock except the engine was swapped for a carbureted 225 Dauntless Buick V-6, i’m guessing out of a cj5. Running gear is stock t90 transmission, Dana 18 transfer-case, and Dana 27 axles.
The body is overall in good to great shape with no cancer and minimal surface rust, minus the hood which has had a cowl scoop installed to clear the air filter, it could be fixed easily if one were to want to do so, and the passenger side rear corner was reinforced for a spare tire carrier that is no longer there.
The steering column has been changed to one with tilt, i have the original.
The seats i was told were out of a 70’s camaro.
The spare tire carrier is built into the rear bumper and uses a spare front hub to hold the tire.
It has a front tow bar and an extra 15-20 gallon tank in the bed under the rear seat.
The engine needs a fuel pump but does run as is, i just haven’t taken the time to replace it.
The soft top has some tares in the windows and may need some replaced.”
