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 .

“1960 Willys FJ-3 4 cylinder 138 cubic inch “Hurricane,” partnered with a Borg Warner T90 automatic transmission. This Willys Jeep FJ-3 Fleetvan had a full rebuild 5 years ago. All exterior panels that rusted thru were removed and replaced with stainless steel, prior to a full paint job. All the interior panels were removed, sand blasted, sealed, painted, and reassembled. After the body was finished, work started on the machine itself. It has rebuilt brake and master cylinders. The brake shoes and emergency brake cable were replaced. It also had new tail lights, signals, signal lever, and new wiring to them. Since I have owned it there are new plugs, wires, points, condenser, Optima RedTop battery etc… new OEM carb and valves have been adjusted. All fluids have been flushed and refilled. This Willys Jeep fleetvan is ready to go.
All Original manuals come with it.
As you can see from the pictures our goal was to use the FJ-3 as a moving billboard for our business.
We made modifications to the interior and back door opening. These modifications were made to allow our Italian Ice cart to fit into the jeep. We have installed a false floor in the FJ-3 with an electric winch and wireless remote. We still have the mesh cage that goes behind the driver and all the parts for the back door. The paint colors, which we think were rolled on, are Flat Green and Flat White. The logos are all wrapped, which means they are not painted on, and can easily be removed.
We are selling the FJ-3 because after loading 1,000 pounds of Italian Ice and our Italian Ice cart onto the jeep it becomes very top heavy.
This Fleetvan was used for 2 Seasons on CBS Show “Vegas”.
There are only a number of FJ-3 Fleetvan’s left, and there are even fewer out there in this good of a condition.
So, we have put it up for sale and the asking price is $13,750. We are located in the Northampton, Pa. 18067
Original mileage is 46,988, speedometer……….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
(11/02/2013) This nice looking CJ-5 appears to be a good price.
“This ’64 Willys has been completely restored from ground up using all original Jeep parts. Has 14,844 original miles, with only 327 miles since complete overhaul. Have all receipts and clear title in hand. Even has original Jeep tires (new). Pics tell the whole story; this is essentially a brand new Jeep made of materials built to last. 4 cylinder with 3-speed transmission, with lockout hubs. Everything works on this Jeep like it should.

Joe spotted this wagon mounted onto a 4-runner chassis.
“1949 Willys Wagon professionally mounted on a 4-wheel drive 1987 Toyota 4-Runner Chassis. Registered, Titled and Insured as a 1949 Willys (I have the Toyota Title also). No emissions test required.
Fuel Injected, reliable 4 cylinder RE22 Engine, 5-Speed Transmission, independent front suspension, power brakes and power steering. Factory Toyota wiring harness, everything works. Removable Side Steps, Audi TT Baseball Stitch leather bucket seats, All new glass & rubbers, and keyed alike door and hatch locks. Runs and drives like a Toyota, but has that cool old look.
Daily driver still needs cosmetics. Very rust free for a 1949, planned on adding more sound-proofing, and interior kit. Heater and A/C have not been completed yet.
New Michelin tires and factory Toyota rims/trim rings.
$7,000 with new winch, or $6,500 w/o winch, pretty firm.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $1500.
“I had plans to fix this 1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A for use during hunting season, but I never could find the time to work on it. It’s been off the road for a while, but I was told the original four-cylinder flathead engine has little time on an overhaul. It cranks freely with no suspicious noises.
There’s nothing wrong with the Jeep that can’t be fixed by any competent shade-tree mechanic. It needs some basic wiring repair to hook up the new ignition switch, and the brake system has gone dry. The bearing inside the steering column is stiff; I have it soaking in PB Blaster. The Jeep already has been converted to 12 volts, with an alternator, and the gas tank is good. The towbar has a new 2″ coupler.
I do not have a windshield, and the seats obviously need new pans and cushions. There’s a healthy aftermarket for these flat-fender Jeeps, and parts are not difficult to obtain.”
No motor.
“No motor, needs work.
Transfer case and tranny is there.

(10/14/2013) With its new body, this looks like a solid jeep. It has a f-head.
“1949 Willys Jeep, 4 cylinder, 3 spd, new bodytub, new tires and wheels”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
(10/23/2013) This runs and drives. It looks pretty original, except for the hole in the dash.
“This is a 1948 Willys Jeep, CJ2A, 4WD. It has a full aluminum cab. The Jeep has front wheel locking hubs. I believe this Jeep to be all original, or repaired with parts designed for it. This Jeep is the original Utility Vehicle. It is a quarter ton truck, 4WD; a working machine that is ready to use. You can start driving it and using it the moment you get it.
This Jeep runs very well. It starts every time, even on bitter cold January mornings after sitting outside all night. Our routine is to start the Jeep about once every two weeks. It starts readily every time.
The engine was recently rebuilt. Since we seldom drive this Jeep, it has virtually no miles on the rebuild. This Jeep engine is the original Jeep engine. The gas tank has been sealed, the brakes completely reworked. Our price is $5000, but we are willing to consider offers. We would like to sell this Jeep by November 15th.”
UK paper the Nottingham Post reported on Joe Plater’s 100th Birthday this month. He’s the oldest known surviving “Desert Rat”. Looks like he can still pilot of a jeep, too.

John spotted this photo on this website from page 29 of the March 30, 1942, issue of Life Magazine. The article covered the Flying Tigers and features some great photos.
Here’s a copy of the magazine for sale on eBay
Craig spotted this rare jeep. I wish I had the extra nickels to compete for it. It includes four plastic bicycles, too.
“Up for auction is a very nice old unused Tour de France car with 4 bikes. It is in Original Box. The Jeep with the bikes is 5.25 inches long x 2.75 inches at the front fenders. The front of the windshield says Tour de France with 2 French flags. It is a very pretty mint green color This toy shows no signs of any use. The box and toy are in very good condition. The box shows 2 figures in the front seat, but it does not appear to have them, not that they are missing. There are no marks where they might have been. Ask questions and bid carefully. Paypal ships fastest. Thanks”
