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 .
Lots of updates on the 3A.

“My father moved and I was left with some vehicles including this really fun jeepster, my grandfather was the 2nd owner in 1969 and it’s been in the family ever since, sad to see it go but I just don’t have the passion/ time and need to find its next owner on its journey! It starts and runs, the brakes and clutch need some work (mechanic friend took a quick peek at it) it’s cover has some wear and would probably need to be replaced , there is one missing panel I have been trying to locate through the move but without luck . One of the windows has trouble going up and down. Just an old but loved car and no one in my family has the time/experience to work on it!
No seatbelts , I see it being a great vehicle for a cabin, small town, ice cream run vehicle. I’d love to find someone that knows these hard to find vehicles and give it the love it deserves !”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6000.
(04/01/2023) This has an unusual paint job and some interesting rims.

“Introducing the Budson! Project custom 1948 Willies Wagon, Chrysler 225 slant 6, 3 speed manual, Dana 18, power brakes. Runs pretty good, moves around the yard, needs wheel cylinders before it could be on the road, shoes looked good. Good tires on 15in rims, new battery and fuel pump. Got it in trade a bit ago, and I just can’t seem myself ever wheeling it like I want to. Needs some work, but I don’t think it would take much to get it on the road. If you look up “Willies Budson”, you can find an old post about it detailing a bit more about all the pieces it has. Clean title in hand, located in Lebanon, OR. $6500, or maybe a partial trade for a street legal dual sport motorcycle like a Yamaha TW200 or a Jeep J-pickup.”

“Military 1964 M676 Selling this truck. Have top and windshield and bumpers. Complete rebuilt running gear”
Seller has been told this is worth quite a bit ($25k). I’m less sure about that evaluation. I see nothing to suggest it is a 1941 FORD GP.

“I’m selling my 1960 Jeep/Willys FC-150 project. This has had a lot of work done and is well on its way to being drivable, I just don’t have the time to commit to it. The Jeep has a ALH TDI motor with an upgraded mechanical injection pump and larger turbo, AW4 automatic transmission, Dana 300 transfercase, and scout Dana 44’s front and rear. The frame has been redone and has been fitted with OME YJ leaf springs, the bed has been done and the cab corners and rust have been repaired in the body. I have two sets of seat for the interior. All body parts are in the bed. Also have several boxes of other parts for steering and other miscellaneous things to finish. These aren’t easy to find so please do you research and only contact me if you serious. $7000 obo”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500.
Supposed to run and drive.

Not a lot of value here. Thanks to Andy for sharing it.

“1948 Willys CJ2A with GM Iron Duke engine. Has a welded in roll bar, power steering. Body is in great shape. Does not run and has no title. Was set up for trails but is street legal. Bought for parts, but is too nice to strip down.”
This 1948 CJ-2A sports a rare Worman Half-Cab (Jee Cab), though sadly it took a hit of some kind on the topside.

This is pretty rough.

“I have a 1944 Willys MB, World War 2 military Jeep for sale, with a clean Oregon title. It’s definitely a project, but it rolls and steers nicely. I was told it has a Dana 30 open-knuckle front axle and a centered rear diff, instead of the closed knuckle front and offset rear diff. Original engine is long gone, but I have an original T90 transmission and Dana 18 transfer case, that also has a vintage aftermarket overdrive unit on it. That all seems to shift well, but it’s not in the Jeep currently. I have an extra cowl/dash to patch in the holes someone cut in the dash. I’ve always wanted one of these specific Jeeps, but thanks to Biden’s economy, I’m gonna need to let a couple projects go. I’m asking $4,500. Cash only. No shipping, Local pick up only.”
Progress continues on the FC, though if feels at a snails pace at times. I was near done running wires, but then decided to wire the main electric fan the correct way by installing a relay setup. I also decided to install the somewhat vintage Sun tachometer onto the left corner of the dash (in an existing hole), as it would be good to see the RPMs for when the transmission shifts. The brake lines, the speedometer cable, and all the wires from underneath the cab come up through two holes, so that should help clean up the look of the driver’s side.
I looked into solid state blinker setups, but haven’t found one that fits my needs. I may just go with the old school round flashers.
Here’s a pic of the dash. The spaghetti is laid in place to be cleaned up once all the wires are in their respective locations.
Below is the e-stopp parking brake installed, with the redone gas line just above it. I will be dropping that one high spot in the gas line, but, over all, I think this setup will work just fine. I’ve tried to leave space for the forthcoming mounting bracket for the rear cage & platform.
This phot shows the installed rear light switch, with the initiating bracket bolted to the shifter bracket. The wiring to/from the brake light still needs to be secured and won’t be laying on the front drive line as pictured! Everything fits well in there.
Finally, just for kicks, we finally mounted Ann’s sign. It looks great, though I think the “bunkhouse” should probably be renamed the “paint studio”, as Ann mostly uses it to work on her canvas paintings.
I snagged this rare 40+ page brochure off of eBay. I am guessing that this was printed before the FC-170 was introduced in the summer of 1957, because the FC-170 page was a drop in page without a page number.
One aspect of this I found interesting was that the brochure leads off with the CJ-3B, which wasn’t something happening in the US domestic brochures, where the CJ-5 was more likely to be published first. Also, the last page shows an “Authorized Service & Genuine Parks logo I can’t remember seeing on brochures or signs.
Finally, these scans aren’t quite as nice as others I have done. The scanning app I was using was forcing me to begin paying a monthly fee of $10/mo and I wasn’t interested in doing that, so I’ve been experimenting with other scanning apps, but having found anything that thrills me yet.
UPDATE: Still Available.

“1946 Willy’s, has a Buick v6 motor plenty of power, new paint, new tires, nice seats, has the original running gear that works perfect, new fuel cell, been in the family since 1960, the ultimate side-by-side, if a tree gets in your way just mow it over, this thing is built to last, no flimsy A arms and tiny axles, it’s a tank, I had it lifted, with big tires and rims, it looked good but didn’t perform off road, back to a two inch lift with skinny tires, works the best, put chains on the front tires, and you will never get stuck. The motor so strong it will sling mud thirty feet in front of Jeep.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(05/24/2024) This looks solid. It’s got a replacement body, so it should be in good shape.

“Runs great and looks amazing! Took first place in the one car show I took it to and all the other parts come with it along with a v6 Buick motor. Open to trades but not selling individual parts!”
It looks like there may be some body rust on the driver’s side. A video on the ad shows the engine runs.

“CJ3 Willy Yard drive lights don’t work Mileage unknown”

(11/30/2023) Mike spotted this cool find. It appears to be a 1957-1964, but maybe someone else can narrow it down a little more.
