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 .

The truck needs finishing. I liked this photo.
“1956 Jeep Willy’s Pickup – very little rust – almost finishd 350 motor 970-819-5577”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
Obviously, motor is not original.
“1942 Ford Jeep ( Willy’s Style )
$1000 OBO cash or trade for 4×4 ATV
Lost title
Original motor
Needs some TLC to come back to life
This little jeep would be a great hunting jeep! Or a good project vehicle for you and the boy’s!”
Still lots of FC parts.
“I bought several Willys Jeep FC150 & FC170 forward-control trucks this summer as a package purchase. I still have a LOT of small FC parts on the shelf, and included photos of just a handful of them. Just a handful of the extra parts I have include:
Very nice 1961 FC170 “rolling frame” (frame, springs & axles, but NO wheels/tires) INCLUDING A TITLE. No rust damage whatsoever…perfect foundation for a clean-up/restoration while you continue to drive your FC170. Closed-knuckle Dana 44 front axle, Dana 53 rear axle (should be stock 4.88 gearing in both). $200
1960 FC150 cab: This is my friend’s “fixxer-upper” cab (I sold him a better-condition cab for his project). Includes doors (not shown). No glass, but I may be able to help with some of that for additional $$$. $300 cab-only. If you’d like to pair it with the FC170 rolling chassis (minor body mount changes would need to occur), or one of the two Super Duty frames I also have listed on CL, price will be a little lower.
FC dash panels (multiple), $35 each.
Early FC150/FC170 heater assembly. $40.
Spare tire carriers. $40 each.
Door handles/hardware (open to offers)
Spare metal window frames (bolts to door panel). $35 each.
T150A (with T150J input shaft) 3-speed manual transmission with side-shifting & linkage. $100.
FC150 & FC170 interior hoods. $35 each.
Two (2) extra FC roofs, including drip rails (great for your damaged/rusted drip rail repair). (open to offers)
Various other FC sheet metal (good for patch panels)
Many, MANY other FC parts…just ask.”

Body is original. No body rot. No additional welding or cutting to the body anywhere.

The electrical system is correct at 24v along with the correct distributor, voltage regulator and generator. Springs are original.
Original/stock rims and NDCC tires. Not lifted.

(06/28/2013) This looks good. It certainly is a DJ, but I’m less sure that it was a Surrey.
“1960 Willys DJ3A Jeep, in its former life it was a Surrey jeep. It is 2WD. Flat fender jeep. Only 1100 of these were made. Elvis Presley owned one, it is in his museum at Graceland. The engine was rebuilt by Benning Machine shop in Columbus, Ga. There is NO rust, both front floor pans were replaced. They originally had a Surrey top. I do not have the top, frame or original bumpers. I do have the original Wheel covers and front bumper pan. New gas tank, NOS Carter WO Carb, New electronic distributor. Steering does need to be tightened up, a common issue on these old jeeps. Serious buyers only Please, Respond to this Ad or call 706-763-ZeroNineThreeNine, It can be seen in Columbus, Ga.

UPDATE II: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
UPDATE: Sebastian wanted to clarify a few things about this GPW. He writes, “The holes, the slightly bent windshield, and the warped hood, are due to the fact that the jeep was rammed into a tree, shot at, lit on fire and blown up by Paramount Pictures. The hood is temporarily left unlocked to show how close we got it back to its original state. Whereas, for the missing lid on the rear wheel well, that’s how paramount pictures had it.“
“The Vehicle:
Meet Tojo, a 1944 Ford GPW. Let us tell you why Tojo is so special.
Although the production of the GPW reached high numbers, today few jeeps remain in their original state. Most vehicles have been taken apart, destroyed and lost through time. It is becoming more difficult to find original parts, real matching numbers, and correctly assembled jeeps. This particular jeep is unique in that it is entirely made up of original and NOS parts.
Tojo is not your average hobby car, assembled in a garage. This GPW has gone through an intense restoration through professional mechanics, painters and critics. The entire process was handled under the supervision of a World War II veteran, who has driven the jeeps himself. Tojo, is one of a kind.
This 1944 GPW is rare in that it speaks to two types of collectors. In fact, Tojo is a World War 2 antique as well as a Paramount Pictures Hollywood movie star. The vehicle has been featured in several films including, “Hell is for Heroes”, directed by Don Siegel and starring Steve McQueen, as well as “Is Paris Burning?” (screenplay by Gore Vidal and Francis Ford Coppola).
The vehicle includes:
1. Matching numbers on: engine, body and frame.
2. All metal undercoated for maximum corrosion protection.
3. Frame-off restoration using only original and NOS parts.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500

Tom forwarded some additional pictures he received from the seller. The seller messaged him that he is selling the FC for a friend that recently had a stroke. The seller doesn’t know much about the vehicle.
