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 .
Rich spotted this FC with what appears to be a Utility Bed in the Bluray version of the Man of Steel Trailer. I looked through a couple trailers on youtube, without success.
Based on the ad, the armed forces were using Tenite widely by 1942. In this case, the ad announces the use of the plastic as steering wheels for jeeps.

“This is a 1951 Willys M38 military jeep was used in Korean War runs great has not been restored.”

Looks like there are lots of parts there.
“I have a willys cj3b for sale for my dad. No title . Has been used for a woods jeep for years and hasn’t been run in several years. Motor is believed to seized up, all parts are there. Body is complete but rusty, tires and wheels have been changed since pictures were taken and it will roll around easily now. Once again it is being sold as is non running and needs to be trailered. Would also consider straight trade for a three point five foot disc for tractor.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $20,000
Lots of updates to this flattie.
“It’s completely upgraded throughout and as reliable as any daily driver while still staying true to the original.
Springs are upgraded to allow the Willys to purr at 80 mph down the freeway without any wobble, nice and tight. You will never see a flattie roll as stable as this.
Will also tackle any off-road situation with zeal. . .
Includes an awesome child seat in the back.
Sits on 35” BFG MTs with few miles on them and also comes with a full roll cage.
Has a full spare in the back on a swing-away bumper system that includes a spare hub, along with Hi-Lift jack and 5-gallon gas can.
Engine is a nice robust Chevy 305 with a Ford T-18 solid transmission with an awesome crawler first gear. Dual mufflers are Magnaflow and also features headers. New 10-gallon plastic gas tank as well. The engine purrs perfectly!

UPDATE: Was $1200. Status Unknown.
Seller would prefer to see this restored rather than parted.
“I have a Jeep FC 150 for sale. This vehicle is rough but is restorable. The bed needs to be scrapped however the cab can be used. The rust damage on the cab is mostly limited to the lower corners which should be a reasonable repair. The engine and drive train is original and consists of the F134 Hurricane Inline 4, T90 Transmission and Dana 18 TCase. I have a lot of requests for people wanting parts however I would prefer to see it restored.
I respond to emails and texts quickly.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5200
This might be worth a look.
“1957 Willys Jeep in real good original condition. This jeep has its original Willys F134 overhead value Hurricane 4 cyl 75hp engine, it does not smoke. 4×4, hi and low work all work. It has a fairly new soft top with full soft doors for side and rear. Tires are in excellent condition and are over sized 8ply. Everything works as it should for its age. Great jeep for farm or ranch but would also make great restoration project to take to next level. ”

The engine does not start.

(11/19/2013) Seller needs this gone. It’s been sprayed with bed liner.
“clean title. Built V8 ready for wheeling retrofit onto existing tranny, not in horrible shape for its age, currently in the shop getting all tuned up for the next owner.
i believe this engine is out of a 1955 chev corvette,based on the serial number located on this motor.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(12/13/2013) It might be worth a look.
“Here I have an extremely rare 1957 willys Jeep Forward Control FC-150 pickup for sale. It has an excellent running Hurricane F-134 inline 4 cyl engine that doesn’t smoke and always starts right up. It has a three speed T-90 transmission that shifts greats and holds gear and a Spicer 18 transfercase that also shifts great. The front and rear glass is perfect but the flat glass on the doors could use some help, upholstery is good. All the turn signals, headlamps, hi/low beams, heater and electronic functions work. It is in pretty good shape, drives and stops nicely but it could use some more TLC and attention. I want to continue the restoration but I have too many vehicles and just don’t have the time for it. I recently replaced the battery, starter, all old hoses, stainless steel brakelines and rewired the entire engine bay with correct automotive wire, automotive heat shrink connectors, chafing protection and gaffer tape. It needs new gears in the front axle for 4×4, a speedometer cable and some bodywork but it drives fine as is. 100% clean and clear Arizona title.
Email only, I can take 4,300 cash or trade for a cleanish “daily driver” JEEP Gladiator Pickup J series truck 1962-1970 with the early style “rhino” grille and a manual transmission. No other trades will be considered.”

Last week Troy and some friends were jeeping in the snow at Copper Creek in Washington State. They were kind of looking for Christmas trees, but it was more about playing. Looks like a fun time.
UPDATE II: Charles spotted the 2010 post below that shows a DJ-3A auctioned on eBay from Massachusetts. Anyone recognize it or know the previous or current owner?
====================
UPDATE: Bill tells me they are also looking for pictures of any surviving examples of tops and the bows themselves. The bows are the most important item they need to duplicate. The top is something we can construct but without a correct set of bows we won’t be on the mark.
Bill and Charles are seeking the measurements for the DJ-3A Fastback Style Top like the one shown below. There’s currently a thread about it here http://z4.invisionfree.com/CJ3B_Bulletin_Board/index.php?showtopic=5356, but so far no one has had any luck finding them.
As I look at these two pictures, it appears to me that top folded up like a Jeepster top. I’ve never noticed that before. I’ve never run across one of these tops in the real world, only in brochures or press photos.
This looks modeled after a BRC-40. I guess “Janet” never got her postcard.
