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 .

“1952 willys jeep 4X4, Motor good, needs starter and battery, for the right trade I will fix. Would like to get a nice larger farm 4 wheeler, UTV, or pair of smaller four wheelers, but will consider anything. Will have to file for lost title to drive on the road. I used it on my farm. Excellent for hunting or mudding. ”
Bruce uncovered this unusual reference to Mexico’s Tourist Patrol Service. I believe this group is also referred to as the Angeles Verdes (Green Angels). According to a 2003 book, the Patrol Service still exists; However, I’ve been fortunate enough not to have had to need it. I tried to find some historical photographs showing jeeps, but didn’t have any luck.
Paul reports from Alaska . . .
“Pickup trucks are very popular here in the northland so what do you do when you have to haul a motorcycle and you drive a two door sedan? Not a problem! Grab the saw of your choice and it’s conversion time. Heck, winter won’t be for another three months so there’s no worries. We don’t need no steenkin safety nannies to tell us what to do! Just another example of thinking outside the bag. I took this picture four years ago while I was out cruising with the top down, I figured a picture would be easier to believe than any description I could come up with.”
This “original MB” appears to have a variety of CJ parts, too, including the frame, fenders, bumpers, and more. Lots of pics.

Rob spotted this priceless creation. It runs and drives and plows, which is more than can be said about some jeeps.
“I have a 1940,s? jeep. 3-speed Hi-Lo 4×4 with large Dune tires. Plow works good. I have original seat. Always garaged. Used for plowing drive way. V-6 engine runs good. Good clutch, transfer case & tranny. Asking $1,100. OBO Call 989-868-three 1 six 3 any time.”

This might be a good price. Unusual approach to a roll bar.
“1953 Jeep Willis – 4×4 4 cylinder – Black with aluminum wheels – Runs and drives, needs a new head gasket. We have title and vin plate.”

It runs and is no longer muddy. Nice slot rims.
“Thanks for looking. I have a 1948 Willy’s CJ2A Jeep for sale. It is clean. I took it bear hunting during a snow storm up here in Globe, AZ. I will repost clean pics this wknd. I just moved and can’t find my camera inamy stuff. I won’t lie, the body is good. The floor is bad. You can see the ground from inside the tub. The engine runs good. It does really well off road. I had a st steel gas tank built for it. Holds about 9 gallons. I have 31×10.50x15s on it. Has reapolstered cj5 seats in the front and the back seat is in serious need of repair. I am in need of cash. I am asking $2000 obo.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500
This includes a grille and fenders.
“I’m selling a 1942 Willys Jeep tub with title. Tub is a GPW which is very similar to an MB. This was a trail Jeep that I dismantled in order to use most of the parts on a different Jeep. Being a trail Jeep it has more than it’s fair share of bumps, bruises and modifications. Use your own drivetrain and axles and make a cool rock crawler or sand Jeep. If you’re looking for a Jeep to restore to original condition, I’m sure you can find a better candidate than this one.
Provide your name and phone number in your e-mail or I will not respond.
This is what is included:
Tub, fenders, hood, grill, headlights, 12 gallon RCI fuel cell, frame, title with registration good until September. After September it will be on non-op status.
Here are some of the things that are not included:
Engine, tranny, transfer case, axles, windshield. I do have a few miscellaneous items I could throw in depending on what you need for whatever you’re going to make of it.
The title stays with the tub and frame. I’m not selling any of the parts separately at this time. And just to save us all some time, the no haggle price is $500. No trades or other offers will be considered.
Provide your name and phone number in your e-mail or I will not respond.
More pictures available.”
It may be ready to restore, but I wonder if it is ready to drive?

These look in good shape. I have both black and plain ones. I think I like the non-painted ones a little better.
“15×10 Western Wheels Hurricane aluminum rims on 5×5.5 bolt pattern. These rims are in great shape and VERY hard to find in 15×10. Will fit many older ford, mopar and international 1/2 & 3/4 ton pickups and SUVs, specifically Bronco first gen, Ram Charger and Trail Duster, and Scout II. I bought these for an International Scout II that I had but never got around to mounting them. The Scout is dead now so I don’t have much use for the rims. Along with the purchase I have a 20 pack of mag rim lug nuts (so long as I can find them…), aluminum rim cleaner, black gloss and clear coat rattle cans. It is common to paint these rims black in between the spokes and that was what I had bought all this to do. Included is a picture of what these would look like if you painted them the way I planned to. I work 7-5 mon-fri and cannot take my phone with me to work so if you want to contact me during that time email works best. Any time after 5 call or text (602) 617-1840. Thanks – Phil.”

It’s got the wrong windshield. It’s also got a pretty thick step.

(03/09/2012) It looks solid, though it could use some polish.
“1963 Willys Jeep FC-150
This is a rare cab-over style Forward Control Jeep with a 2.3 liter F-head 4-cylinder engine, 3-speed T-90 manual transmission, and two-speed T-18 transfer case. I have a clear Texas title in my name. These unusual trucks draw a lot of attention.
The engine and transfer case have seen no use since being rebuilt and they are out of the vehicle, along with the gearbox (which has not been rebuilt). Radiator is rebuilt. This truck was sold new in the Phoenix, AZ area and remained there with the original owner’s family until I brought it to central Texas about three years ago, so body corrosion is minimal. Brakes are rebuilt with no miles on them. All window glass is good. Comes with new hoses, wiring harness, clutch, pressure plate, brakes, a spare set of doors, rear window glass, bare cylinder head, spare disassembled 3-speed gear box, vacuum brake servo, plus various extra pieces of trim and small mechanical items.
I had begun restoring it but got interrupted shortly after starting the process and I now realize it will be years before I can get back to it. This is an opportunity to do an easy restoration on a very simple vehicle and end up with a rare and prized vehicle at a budget price. Photos in this ad do not show that rear fenders are removed (stored in bed of truck) and that I had begun to remove excessive body filler in both front doors.
You can research this type of vehicle via several websites but the best place to start is probably: www.thefcconnection.com/
Most of these trucks were sold in the snow belt or to government or road construction companies, so most of the survivors are severely rusted or simply were badly abused. Keep this in mind if you are thinking about bidding on one of these on eBay.
Price for vehicle, as is: $5500.00 Vehicle is located east of Austin, a few miles past the Bastrop County line near Utley.
I have other Jeep parts I wish to sell separately:”
UPDATE: Was $3000. **SOLD**
(07/25/2012) The seller provides some good details on the condition. It needs a few things to run.
“Just testing the waters with this.
The good:
It’s a 1951 CJ3A, has a title.
SOA Lift, Saginaw steering swap.
Has a 1964 Small Block Ford 289.
Chevy steering column
Rear fenderwells are modified to fit modern seats, comfortable sit in.
Dana 44 rear, Dana 27 front. Both from a scout 80/800.
Front disk brakes using Scout II rotors, GM calipers, etc.
Aluminum rims with 31×10.5xR15 tires, with 50% tread left
Converted to disk brakes, and hydraulic clutch.
Has a working speedometer, voltmeter, temp gauge, etc.
Brand new wiring harness front to rear.
Fully wired, blinkers, brakes, headlights. Has a 12 fuse fuseblock, with about 8 unused connections for various things.
Rebuilt Autolite 2100 carburetor. Engine runs amazingly well. The engine alone is worth 1500.
Drives perfect down the road, as in, you can take your hands off the wheel and it’ll track straight.
What it needs to be complete:
A new brake booster.
A better radiator, or a fan shroud to be made (gets hot, doesn’t overheat, gauge might be incorrect)
A fuel cell (purchased one on Ebay, still waiting, RCI 19 gallon aluminum fuel cell)
It’s currently registered as a classic (Horse drawn carriage, in WA state). I don’t have a set of plates for it, so it’s technically not legal to drive it on the road. In order to get it legal to drive on the road, you just need to go to the DOL, and you can get it registered as a normal car or truck. You’ll pay the taxes for the sale price on the jeep for the registration, then you’ll pay the tag and license plate fees (not sure on this). There won’t be any obscene paperwork, and no B.S.
The bad:
The body has “questionable” amounts of bondo, and rust.
The front fenders are some fold-forward setup that doesn’t line up very well.
Engine has a tendency to get warm. The brake booster and Master cylinder that came with it are shot, the booster is bad, and the MC seals are toast. Could be easily replaced from JY, and if somebody is seriously interested in purchasing this, i will gladly tell you the make/model of vehicle you can get the setup off of.
Reason i’m selling:
The funding isn’t really there. I’m a college student, and my budget is getting stretched pretty thin. As of recent events, i’m in the market for a new(er) truck. I just don’t have the time and money to give to this thing to make it what it could be, and i would love to see somebody who has the devotion take it off my hands and turn it into something much nicer than what it currently is.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(04/24/2012) I like the vintage look of ‘Wirick’s’. Given it doesn’t runs, the price is a bit high.
“Selling my 1956? Willys jeep. MUST SELL!
Asking $2500/obo. Very little rust.
Easiest to come look at it. It hasn’t ran for a while…don’t think it would take much to get it running.
Great project!”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3000
(02/13/2012) One runs and one is a parts vehicle.
“I’ve got two Willys Jeep Station Wagons for sale. I’d like to sell them as a package for $3500. The ’57 (red) runs, the ’58 (green) was bought as a parts car but there is enough extra parts to build it also. If you’re looking for a project with real classic looks, this could be it! Both are Hurricane flathead 6cyl, with 3spd tranny, 4WD and I’ve got the transferrable registrations for both in my name. I’ve just got too much on my plate, so I need to deplete the fleet a little. If interested, Call Joe at (516) 996-6820”
http://longisland.craigslist.org/cto/3161951332.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
(06/19/2012) The passenger side has seen some repairs.
“Runs Good.
Original motor-12volt system
new top
makes a great hunting jeep or a great start on a rebuild.
body in good shape”
UPDATE II: Price dropped to $3995. http://eastidaho.craigslist.org/cto/3173547560.html 406-240-8961
UPDATE: Still Available. Please review this thread before contacting the seller: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=682338 as it appears this jeep is being sold by the same person (the ad displays a phone number which links to his name).
(06/18/2012) This look alike a to-good-to-be-true ad. Possible scam.
“1955 M38A1 Willys Military Jeep with only 50 K original miles, very solid, no rust holes, runs and drives good with original 4 cylinder engine and T-90 3 speed transmission.Has front turn signal black out lights still intact and drivers side rear black out light included, data plates on dash still intact. Brakes work, heater works, good clutch, turn signals and lights work. Has original seat frames with back seat and original canvas top and gerry can stamped US. Original style side curtains and doors are available new reproduction to match top. Own a piece of history. easy to restore or use as is, with original title from 1977 when purchased from army surplus. Has been converted to 12 volt.”

Here are several photos of a Lavatory Jeep. I wonder how many of these were made? You can read more about this and other Aircraft Ground Support at the CJ-3B Page.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
Here’s a neat ad for the Scheneker Iron Works Dozerette.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The seller also has a few more things, such as 5 combat rims for $500, that he will sell to the winner of this auction.
“Offered to the highest bidder, this WWII-era Ford manufacturered GPW 1/4t Utility Vehicle (JEEP) serial number 125,686 with a build date of 7 June 1943. Perfectly restorable tub and frame with the complete running gear from the transmission back along with plenty of “F” marked parts. The serial numbers of the tub and frame match along with the title so all that’s missing is the original motor. The front floor and lower firewall to include the axe patch , radio junction box and the radiator crossmember need replacement but from the machine gun mount back it’s sold including the hatchannels, tool box wells and back bumper. I have not inspected the transmission, transfercase or drive lines and pumpkins for functionality but I assume they will clean up nicely once all the road debris and accumulation of grease and dirt has been wire-wheeled off.”
No location listed.
“Runs! Starts right up. Tires are good. Custom roll bar. Converted from 6 volt to 12 volt. New starting gear. Bought as a project Jeep and I just do not have the time.
Price: $4,000
Please contact Jon or Jeanie at: email: jeankeppler@cox.net”
http://www.warjeeps.com/bd/sale/adwb247/adwb247.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
Looks like some rust on the driver’s side, but otherwise appears pretty solid.
“This is a 1943 Ford GPW I picked up in 2008 with intentions to restore. I don’t have the time it needs and need to clear up a little space. The pictures show it needs some body work. We have a new fuel pump for the Jeep that goes with it. It comes with the windshield, a rare back seat. The fuel tank leaks and we tried getting it fixed. The engine is free and the seller put fuel in the carburetor to fire it up and it turned over in 2008. Buyer will have to apply for a lost title on this vehicle. I do have the bill of sale around from the auction it was purchased”
