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 .

Paul’s Goddess is always watching jeep photos. This photo includes a good story. This photo and story was assembled by Laurel Bill and posted to Facebook. I couldn’t locate an original story and link on Laurel’s website.
“A group of Cordova Airlines passengers boarded jeeps at the May Creek Airfield in 1953 to go check out the ghost town of McCarthy and the old mining town of Kennicott where the Kennecott Copper Mine had operated. The two men in uniform were the pilots of the plane that flew these folks to the area, and the caption said they were having just as good a time as any of the passengers.
McCarthy was the turnaround station for the Copper River Northwestern Railroad, and hotels, restaurants and stores quickly popped up. Since no gambling or drinking alcohol was allowed in the mining town of Kennicott, McCarthy offered many diversions for the miners and railroad workers with its saloons and “red light” district.
At its peak, about 800 people lived in the town. But when the copper mine closed in 1938, McCarthy became a ghost town.”
UPDATE: This was on eBay. Looks like the ad was pulled.
This looks in reasonably good shape.
“This is a vintage 1950s pink jeep pedal car reminiscent of the Elvis jeep in Blue Hawaii. My guess is that this piece is rare. It is 41 inches long and 29 inches tall. There is some minor surface rust in a few places and some minor wear to the paint. The top needs to be cleaned and there are a couple either splits or little holes at the corners but not bad at all. It’s really an amazing piece. I would rather not ship but you can make arrangements to ship it or pick it up, whatever you prefer.”
This surrey seems to have brought the photographer to his knees. Or, maybe it was the woman sitting on the hood (Get off that hood woman!).

Never thought I’d see a wood top on a Jeepster.

While very few were produced, Jeep CJ-5A Tuxedo Parks were a part of history that not many vehicles can lay claim to. They were used in Lyndon B. Johnson’s inaugural presidential parade in 1965.””
The body has been stretched about 12″?

“1959 Jeep FC-170. Cab has some front end damage. The windshield is good, no cracks or chips. The door glass and side windows are intact. The back glass is cracked. All of the glass except the windshield is flat and can be cut by a glass company fairly cheap. Has the original flat head 6 cylinder with a T90 three speed transmission and a Dana 18 transfer case. The flat bed is steel and very well made. Also had a 4″ lift installed several years ago. Have not tried to start the engine. Was a true barn find. Will need the steering fixed as it seems the pitman arm splines are stripped. Everything will need to be gone through: brakes, wiring, steering…etc. Have a good Missouri title in my name.
1960 Jeep FC-150. Cab has rust above the windshield and floor pans. No glass. Does not run. Has the 4 cylinder engine ,T90, & Dana 18. Have the bed also. The title was signed by a previous buyer but never registered in their name.”

(06/18/2014) Good looking CJ-3B.
“Engine rebuild included: new pistons and rings, machined the crank and cam, new oil pump, all new seals, and new lifters.Issues: I had this on the road last year and it drove good and climbs any thing pretty much. I have struggled with it overheating and one of the new oil lines needs replaced in order to drive it. The radiator had been checked and cleaned but I believe the overheating could be due to the radiator. So the jeep still needs some work done to it but you will love it once it has some TLC.Body: In amazing shape. It has some minor surface rust but no holes throughout the body.
You are bidding on a 1954 Willy’s CJ-3B jeep. The motor has been rebuilt with hard seats to run unleaded gas and has less than 500 miles on it. The transmission has been resealed to take care of those pesky leaks. Many new parts to include: battery, break master cylinder, break slave cylinders have been refurbished, rubber break lines, steering gear box resealed, new clutch kit, and misc. items.

The speedometer needs replaced.
Body: In amazing shape. It has some minor surface rust but no holes throughout the body. A New Mexico Jeep (very dry climate).
UPDATE: Was $4200. **SOLD** Spotted by yours truly as it was being towed west from Denver on I-70.
“This is truck #383 of the estimated 400 diesel-powered, Forward Control Jeep crew cabs built for the Marine Corp in 1964. The majority of these rare trucks have not survived, and this one barely has. It appears to have been wrecked early in its life and was subsequently stripped of its drivetrain and military dash. The collectibility of these trucks makes this one worth restoring, though it will entail quite a bit of work. These rare four-door cabs were constructed largely of parts available from standard civilian production.
Enough remains of the rare military body, that it can be rebuild from pieces. A good civilian cab, dash, and doors is included with this sale to help with that reconstruction. The floors of both cabs are remarkably solid. There is some rust in the doors that is repairable. The frame still sits on its original Dana axles, which specification sheets identify with 4.89 gears and Power Lock differentials front and rear. The engine, transmission, and transfer case is gone. The military dog house is still there. It is missing the cover for the battery box and air cleaner, which originally set inside the cab. It has the original military grill guard and bumpers with air-lift loops. It is missing all of the military blackout lights.”
Might be worth a look.

The body still needs work.
“1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A. Soft top in great condition. I have had the transmission , transfer case, front end , and rear end rebuilt. Brakes, wiring, gas tank, most gauges, tires, rims, most of the steering, horn, fenders, tailgate, windshield, and windshield frame have been replaced.
