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 .

(08/10/2022) Runs, but needs some work. It looks to be a flat bed.
https://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/atq/7532061771.html
“Runs, does not currently drive. Great foundation for restore project!”
The body has a few fixes and the engine has been updated.
https://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/cto/7531404117.html
“Price Reduced! 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!”
No pics provided.

“Cj2a parts/project old parts, new parts, rebuilt parts, rebuilt Buick v-6.”
These should be of interest to someone. Note the top left rim seems to have a flat spot at the bottom of it?
https://portland.craigslist.org/clc/wan/d/oregon-city-full-set-military-combat/7519454446.html
“Super hard to find, original military combat wheels I put this set together over the last couple of years. These are real nice. barely any rust. There are after-market wheels, so don’t settle if you are restoring!
1000.00 cash or trade for morgan silver dollars or something amphibious.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
This is a project.
“1942 GPW , parts Ford restoration, 1942 Tubb, The Frame numbers, 1942 GPW 79xx, 1942 one of the first Ford frame. Cj2a grill. No engine, no transmission. The last picture I will sell it at $5000, with engine, transmission, and extra parts. I’m not selling any parts till the Jeep is gone.
To many Jeep projects.

(05/29/2022) The seller lists some of the problems that need to be addressed. It’s powered by an f-head.
https://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/d/deer-park-1949-willys-cj3a/7526965988.html
“1949 Willy’s CJ3A. Runs and drives great. I have an additional motor that came with it when I bought it from a 1960 Jeep, original hood and tow bar. Also, I have an extra set of wheels and tires to go with it. The body is in great shape. Little to no rust. The guy I bought it from wasn’t sure on the year, but said he dropped in an early 1960’s F4-134 F-Head motor. Everything works: four-wheel drive, transmission, lights, speedometer, oil-pressure, etc. Already has the classic license plates.
It is 73 years old, so there’s always room for improvement. The windshield is cracked, no e-brake (I have the housing), gas gauge doesn’t work (needs a new tank sending unit), muffler pipe is cracked and could use a weld, wouldn’t hurt to get a new battery. It’s been converted to a 12V system.
Overall, it’s a great Willy’s that isn’t rusted out. It’s been stored inside. Nice to drive to town or take into the mountains. Awesome hunting rig, just don’t have the time or storage anymore for it. $6,200 OBO. Looking for cash at the moment, no trades.”
This was for sale a couple years ago. It is 2WD only.
https://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/cto/7535359967.html
“Customized 1955 Willy CJ3B show quality jeep. 350 engine, 350 turbo transmission, 355 posi, B&M shifter, 2×4, 8000 lb. wench, custom racing seats and harness belts, powder-coated roll bar & bumpers, LED lights, diamond plate storage box, tires 32×11.5Rx15 (all-terrain), aluminum rims, front disc brakes, Hippo spray liner on the underbody and inside body, tilt wheel. This is a show quality vehicle, a must see to appreciate.”
This has been for sale for a while. Price has dropped to $1500. It seems like there is some parts value here at the very least.

“Does not run. Engine needs rebuild, Radiator needs repair!

(09/12/2022) TJ shared this jeep. Interestingly, the manufacturer of the hardtop is “Overland Manufacturing Ordinance”.
https://portland.craigslist.org/clk/cto/d/long-beach-1947-willys-cj2a-restoration/7531876534.html
“1947 Willys CJ2A. Original flat head 4 cylinder, 3 speed. Vehicle ran well when I garaged it 27 years ago. It has been in a closed garage since 1995 except for the last 18 months. Vehicle is complete but in need of a restoration. I primered it when I originally bought it to discourage rust but there is still some decay in the expected spots. Comes equipped with a “Overland Manufacturing Ordinance” hard top which is in OK condition. Asking $3500 or best offer.”
Tom shared this parts CJ-5 or project. There seems to be value here. It has a Kelly hardtop.

“63 Jeep I bought with intentions of building a toy. The engine is not in it but comes with it. The title has been lost but you can send off for a replacement title. I didn’t need one because I was building a off-road toy. Too many projects, not enough time. $800 obro”
Somehow, I’ve never posted this brochure. I’m sure folks are fairly familiar with it. I’d guess it’s one of the first FC-150 brochures produced, so it likely arrived at some point around January of 1957. It is Form No. W-FC1-CS. It measure 8.5″ x 11″ folded and 25.5″ x 22″ when unfolded.
This is the front when folded:
This is the back when folded:
The front unfolds horizontally to show this wide part of the brochure:
The brochure unfolds vertically twice. First, these two frames appear:
Then another third is folded down to reveal this full view:

David recently refurbished his Knox trailer. Not a lot is known about these trailers, so we are still hunting for information on them. Rather than the standard round fenders, David’s came with some angular fenders, which we assumed replaced the stock round fenders.
Note the mural in the background; OKC is FULL of murals! Here are just some: https://www.camelsandchocolate.com/murals-in-oklahoma-city/
He writes, “I found it on Facebook Marketplace in Hot Springs Arkansas. Quite a drive, but it looked in decent shape. I didn’t know what it was, other than a vintage utility trailer. I replaced basically everything…axle, hubs, leaf springs, taillights, wiring, wood floor, etc. I sandblasted and painted the body Apple Red to match my Jeep. Replaced the 14 inch wheels with 16 inch. Sprayed the inside with bedliner.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Glenn shared this rare FJ-6 for sale.
“1965 Jeep FJ-6A Fleetvan Stepvan Right Hand Drive Delivery Van! No Reserve! Clean Ca title.
Up for sale is a very rare, hard to find Jeep FJ-6A Step Van. Complete. I had big plans to turn this into a Beer Truck for catering events. I have had it for 6+ years and haven’t really done anything with it so it is someone’s else turn.
Previous owner used it for his auction company. He extended the back bumper and stood back there and auctioned things off and then had his wife inside with the service windows to fill out the paperwork.
Engine and transmission is complete but the engine doesn’t look great. I purchased another engine out of a running Jeep that comes with the sale. I planned to swap them out.

Blaine let me know about this sale. The business formerly known as R&P has a big sale on parts this weekend (23rd & 24th). And and I visited the place back in 2014 when it was still R&P 4WD Parts. I’d like to check it out, but Ann’s family reunion is this weekend at our place (think chaos ..)!

Glenn shared this parts wagon (possible Parkway) for sale. It appears to have a PTO winch on the front, so there should be some value here. It also includes a Government Data Plate.

I missed out on this 16 page very rare Jeep Station Sedan Demonstration Manual on eBay. I wonder if they produced similar documents for other models. Thankfully, the seller posted photos of each page.
It’s been stored for a while. The body was repaired at some point.
