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 .
I’m not sure how much these rims are worth, but there aren’t many around.

“This is an original WW2 4″ x 16″ solid disc jeep wheel . Very good condition. Still retains its olive drab paint. Location is in Everett WA. I am posting it in a few places to find the right buyer.”
This vehicle is located just south of Spokane. If you were planning on stretching a body, maybe this will meet your needs.

(01/22/2022) It’s a project MB that has had some mods.
https://cosprings.craigslist.org/cto/d/colorado-springs-1940s-willys-mb-project/7548788130.html
“Today I put my Willys MB project up for sale. It is a project but has quite a few sought after pieces if you are into rock crawling. I’ve had this since 2018 with the hopes of creating an off-road vehicle I could rock crawl, but still be street-able. As you can see, that hasn’t happened yet and while I’d love to get to it someday in the near future, I wanted to give someone else a shot at fixing this thing up right. I’d like to sell this as a complete project but for the right price, anything can be bought.
Pros

Willys MB tub, grill, fenders, hood
M38 windshield
Spicer 18 transfer case core(needs rebuilt)
Short width Dana 30 axle with factory disc brakes from a CJ5

You might remember that last May Ann and I had a chance to visit with Dan and April and their kids at their Eastern Montana Bison Ranch. At the beginning of October, they began creating videos of their ranch experience. They have currently produced four videos with plans for more. Though jeeps make a small, short appearance, mostly it is about learning how their lives have changed as they learn to do without the things most of us take for granted, including utility-backed running water and electricity. So, check them out!
Here is their Youtube page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsidyGphAz3QzDx1qanIJbQ
Here is their first video:
If you want a good look at their bison, this video of theirs show them wrangling bison with a Jeep Cherokee:
UPDATE: Here’s an additional Daytona Beach photo sent by Chris of a CJ-5 advertising Dog Racing on Daytona Beach. (note photo #3 below is a 3B also advertising Dog Racing)

The four page brochure on the right is one I haven’t seen previously. Given the vehicle outlines shown in the second pic, I’d put this at around 1960. If I didn’t already own the Jeepster brochure on the left, I’d get this combo.

Tom shared this intriguing late model CJ-3B. It hasn’t run in a couple years, but there is a lot to like here. It looks to be low/no rust with a Government data plate and a ventilating windshield. This looks like a true barn find.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/499957622151226
“1964 Military Willys High Hood Jeep CJ3B. 56k Original miles was running over 2 years ago. I have the title.”
Jerry shared this Fire/Brush truck for sale.

(10/09/2022) Seems works a look.
https://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/cto/7539798049.html
“Runs, drives, new tires and all original.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $17,500.
Looks in good shape.
“Owned 35+ years, kept as original as possible. Serviced and maintained over the years including repaint (correct Pasture Green) and reupholstered seats. Engine underwent an extensive professional overhaul in 2015 – driven about 50 miles since. Parade and show worthy. Interesting and fun, but time to pass it on to someone who will appreciate, enjoy and care for it.
Please . . . inquiries from serious and capable buyers only.”
This has a few updates, including a Pinto engine.
https://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/cto/7550344686.html
“Turns heads wherever it goes! Military paint scheme, OD green. Great town car and fun to drive. Nothing run by a computer on this vehicle! This modified CJ2A has a 1972 Ford Pinto engine, modified steering system and a Cj3a windshield. In the past year it has all new military tires and tubes, 15 inch rims, new right front hub, all new brake drums, new brakes, new carburetor, alternator and regulator and battery. Windshield wiper on driver side. Original transmission with added overdrive (55 mph on highway.) It runs well and will inspire you to continue to improve it. It’s a WILLYS JEEP. Collector Car license (One time license payment when you register it!) Bring me offers!”

“Vintage early “waffle” style Jeep summer hubs in original box. Instructions are in awesome shape. Collectible classic set.”
I don’t think that the terms “Austin Champ” and “easy project” should ever be used in the same sentence. I’ve never seen one of these trailers for sale. Thanks to Bill for the link.
https://boston.craigslist.org/bmw/cto/d/franklin-austin-champ/7546177154.html
“Austin Champ 1951 to 1956 British jeep with very rare trailer motor turns not running easy project has Rolls Royce motor first $7000 takes them”

“Frame off restoration nearly complete. I have almost all the new parts to reassemble and install the rebuilt engine. Transmission and transfer case already rebuilt & installed.

Unclear how much value is here.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/805261090525719
“Engine is stuck and missing the carburetor. Comes with a replacement hood. Tub is rough. Frame is nice. Would be a good candidate for a repower and new tub. Don’t ask me if price is negotiable if you aren’t standing here with cash. No title, bill of sale only”
The body looks rough.

I just purchased this Tour Jeep postcard off of eBay that shows an FC-170 tour jeep in the Virgin Islands in 1968. I searched for additional information on FC jeeps in the Virgin Islands, without success.
Back in 1987 (like 10 lifetimes ago!) I toured St. Thomas in a tiny Suzuki Samarai and in the back of a taxi. The FC would have been a much cooler way to see the island.
