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 .

(10/18/2014) It needs a little bit of work according to the seller.
“1951 Willys CJ3A
It’s time, and it has been decided that we should sell the father /son project that has been around for years. Grandfathers Willys was driven, modified, fixed, used and enjoyed. Lots of trips to the Sierras for club runs, poker runs, and off roading. It has been a great vehicle but 17 years later has now been parked and not driven anymore with all of life’s changes.
If you know off roading, fourwheeling, or Willys, you know what you’re looking at. Please call to setup a inspection and more details.
This little rig runs great and crawls over just about anything. But, it still needs some things finished on it.
It has current tags and is insured.
So here’s a quick rundown of what it is now.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(11/26/2014) It’s a project.

“’43 Willys for sale. Needs interior work and some body work. RUNS! Has 8 cylinder Ford motor.
1200 but open to all offers. No title, vehicle was only used as a crawler/hunting Jeep. Able to get new title at DMV, but never did since I did not use for city transportation.”
There looks to be value here. Interesting that there’s no gas inlet.
“This is a rehab project vehicle. What you see, is what you get. The engine is seized, and it’s missing the radiator, gas tank, and windshield. The frame is in decent condition, as are the body, wheels, and tires. It even has a large winch that works OK, but it too will need some TLC. If you’re looking for a fun project, you might enjoy working on this rig. Jeeps are pretty easy to get parts for, and I’ll include a couple of mechanic’s manuals with the sale.”

UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/01/2014) Not sure if this is a 2A or a 3A.
“This is (as registered) a 1951 Jeep Willys CJ-2a 4×4. It has a buick V6, 3spd tran, dana 25 and dana 27 running gear. I put a new wiring harness, gauges, LED brake and turn lights, new seat coverings and a por-15 paint job. Included is the tire carrier, spare tire, two gas cans, all spare parts, paint and the rifle rack in the middle. This jeep was used for hunting and is extremely reliable but it also looks good to drive into town. It is currently registered (Nov 2015). You can either drive it home (45-50 mph and a 5 gallon gas tank) or tow it home behind your tow vehicle.
I have seen the other Willys for sale on Craigslist and know that the $3600 for a fully running, registered and reliable Willys is priced to sell. Cash only, no shipping, no trades. Email to set an appointment time. Thank you.”

Mark’s son Tom Smith has just authored a great article at jeeptruck.com about the Hoptown Pizza story. You can read it here:
http://jeeptruckstories.blogspot.com/2015/02/hopping-along-in-fc-dream.html
You might remember when I published a brief story about the owners last October when my wife happened upon them at a farmers market. At the time they thought their truck was cute, but didn’t realize it was called an FC Jeep. So my wife, now being an FC ‘expert’, explained what they owned. I do love my wife!
BTW, Ann says their pizza was great. As part of an email exchange I suggested they try to make it to the FC Roundup this year.
