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 .
The seller thinks this is a Fire Jeep because of the rear tool boxes.
“Mostly complete. Broken spring hanger, rusted out floor board. Fire package included toolboxes in the rear wheel wells, thicker spring packs and axe holders on the side. Make an awesome rock crawler or rat rod. Trade for welder or?208 691 4 two 7 four”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Either lots of parts or two projects.
“Two FC-170 Jeep Truck projects
Gray truck:
1964 – one of the last FC-170 produced – 1 ton – 4 wheel drive – 3 speed transmission – Dana 20 transfer case
Rebuilt original engine and axles, Frame has been sand blasted and painted.
Cab was sandblasted and primed years ago but will need to be done again. New floor pans and rear window panel included. Windshield, rear window and quarter glass all provided. Doors are included but door glass is missing.
Green truck:
1962 – 1 ton – 4 wheel drive – 3 speed transmission – Dana 18 transfer case
Engine is stuck, axles have been rebuilt
Cab has had some “quick” body work and paint by a previous owner. Looks good from a distance but could use some more work. All glass is in good condition. Front and rear lower cab corners are in excellent condition. Frame has been patched but seems to be strong. Has nice seats and door panels.
Together there are more than enough parts to make one good truck with lots of spare parts.
$2,500 obo\
No pics provided. I’m not sure what’s here.

I ran across this unusually modified FC named Work’N Woody. According to this website, it’s a modified FC that has been a fixture at race tracks since 1978. It even has its own website. You can see a gallery of pictures here. Pretty cool! It must be a great place to watch a race.
Here are a couple pictures from the website:
UPDATE: **SOLD** No price was listed.
This looks beautiful. I searched for other Willys on oldcaronline.com, but the others appear very overpriced to me.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a good look at an FJ-3A brochure. It is 8.5 x 4 Folded , 17 x 8 Unfolded.
Here are several original FC-170 brochures at a good price.
“ORIGINAL SHOWROOM FOLDOUT provides PICTURES, FEATURES, SPECS and MORE on this unusual 4-Wheel Drive JEEP. In EXCELLENT CONDITION.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
The driver side fender corners look a little sharp. I’m wondering if this has been modified. Otherwise, this Navy CJ-3B looks good for the price.
“1958 CJ3B Jeep Willys with 4 cycle engine and original drive train. It has a Department of Navy data plate. Comes with extra hood cover with “Willys” on the sides. Asking $3,500.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $12,000

This looks like a styling way to plow.

(07/27/2012) “I have for sale a 1953 Cj3b. has everything minus engine. at 600 this is a steal.”
This appears in good shape, though it has an assortment of parts.
“Jeep willys the only issue with it is that I just replaced the brakes and cant get them adjusted right. It has a brand new alternator 12v and radiator. Full tune up, new hoses, new battery. Also the soft top is almost new.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** WAS on eBay.
According to the CJ-3B Page, the Dinky Tow Truck, called a Jeep De Depannage, was based on the French Hotchkiss M201 and sold in France through 1971. In the case of the toy below, the rubber ‘rope’ that held the tow hook has perished and has been replaced with string.”
I can’t if the body is metal or not. It appears in good shape and isn’t a bad price.
” 1963 Jeep Wrecker made by Hubley toys. The jeep is in very nice condition. A few scratches in the passenger rear corner. The original box is intact, but worn.”

The tailgate has been filled in on this CJ-3A. Otherwise, this might be a solid jeep.
“1950 Willys Jeep CJ3a

That rear passenger side quarter panel is rough, but there appears to be some value here.
“1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A. It is in very good restorable condition. Engine is sound as is the drive train. Has been mostly converted to 12volt. There is some rust in the usual places; tool box, battery tray and floor pans. I started to restore it about 2 yrs ago, but simply don’t have the time. The front fenders, hood and grill are currently off. It has a full soft top and doors. There is also an aluminum hardtop/ truck top and aluminum doors. This would be a great project to restore or stick the fenders and hood back on for a great hunting vehicle. Call or text, 803-374-4776”

The seller claims this is stock, but in my searches I couldn’t find any example of this. It looks kind of cool though.
