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 .
This is an interesting creature. Anyone recognize the chassis? The body looks lengthened, or is custom, or is some type of replacement body (prob out of the Philippines if a replacement).

“Really clean jeep, it’s a project but is all complete. The motor is stuck and will need to be broke loose. Or I have a fresh rebuilt 4 cylinder motor I can throw in for extra money. Has a clean title”
UPDATE: price dropped to $3200.
Listed as a 1948 CJ-2A, this looks to be more likely a CJ-3A due to the transmission crossmember mount and the lack of holes for the 2A ignition switch.

(08/23/2022) This appears to have an MB body, but seller believes the chassis to be from a CJ-2A.

Cj2a frame and running gear No shafts in front axle 44 rear Trans and tcase will be pulled before sale Mb body that is very rough and no longer mb. Tool boxes and shovel/axe mount are welded over, dash is cut to hell Front fenders have been widened Lots of bondo M38 cold weather top (aluminum) One tire is good, one holds air for a week , two fronts are shot. If it’s posted it’s available! No you can not buy just the top No I will not sell just the grill I’m totally happy with this being yard art so low ball offers will be ignored. I know it’s rough, but I don’t care, if you want to look at it pm me and we can set up a time. Stupid questions will be ignored.”
UPDATE: Thanks to Jan for pointing out that on page 4 are two photos of a 2A with a driver’s side spare tire. That would suggest that this issue was printed later than around mid-1948. Given the Santa highlight on the cover, I’d say the Fall/Winter of 1948 prior to the introduction of the CJ-3A. If that’s the case, then maybe these came out every six months?
Thanks to Jan in the Netherlands for sharing a scanned version of the late 1940s issue of ‘Jeep’ News Volume 1, Number 6. The “Cristie’s” at the top of the banner is a reference to Cristie’s Garage out of Monticello, New York.
I wonder if the Mahl Loader shown in a photo on Page 6 out of Minnesota is the one that was restored here.
Peter shared this ” domino machine” that has a jeep-look to it. It auto-arranges dominos so they can fall in an orderly manner.
Roger Martin spotted this original-condition Nellybelle Roy Rogers pedal jeep.
https://www.facebook.com/commerce/products/rare-nellybelle-roy-rogers-pedal-car/4865265890240613
“1950’s pedal car Nellybelle from Roy Rogers TV show. Bought new tires but not installed. I was debating on restoring but decided to leave as is. Shows value from 2015 auction (not this jeep.) Windshield folds down. Mecum is selling one in September.”
Chris forwarded this nice looking Commando. It appears to have been built by Jeep Viasa and imported from Spain based on the data plate.

This June 28, 1970, article form the Lexington Herald describes tours of Kentucky’s Red River area via a modified FC-170. The business was started by Mr. and Mrs. Joe Bowen with a VW bus, but it’s easy to imagine that a better vehicle was needed.
I looked for additional articles about this endeavor, but didn’t have any luck locating anything.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
This seems worth a look.

“Recent rubber, new battery, spare tire, 12-volt conversion, draw bar, back seat, two heaters, title, runs, drives and stops.
FWD & low range engage as they should. Time for it to go to a new home as not enough time to bring it to the next level.”
This may have been a Texaco service station jeep. I can make out “Jerry’s”.

“1958 Willy’s/Jeep Forward Control FC-150. Rusty but complete. Doesn’t run. Engine is apart. Rolls. Title. $1900 cash only. Pick up in Mayville.”
The passenger side has some rust. I can’t tell if it is surface or deep.

“1951 Jeep CJ-2A VIN: 451GB122992 Clean Title Flat Head-4, 3 Speed Runs, shifts, 4×4 also New brake lines installed. Frame only shows surface rust. All new wheel cylinders & brake pads replaced except rear driver side (for the life of me couldn’t get the drum off), all new preformed brake lines, rebuilt master cylinder, rebuilt carb, all fluids replaced including differentials, new hub bearings, headlights high and low, but no turn signals or brake lights. I put new taillights on as well but they have to be wired up, as well as a new turn signal stalk that’ll have to be wired up. Cleaned out and repainted the fuel tank, also installed a tach.”
Looks like an older body based on the interior discoloration.

I did not cut the hole in the hood for the air cleaner. That’s the way I got it and that’s the way you are going to get it. I was told that it has a newer Jeep motor and it sits higher.
