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 .
Roberto forwarded these two illustrations. The process of illustrating the Commando is also shown. Thanks Roberto!

I learned about these over at the airfieldinformationexchange.org forum. The CJ-3B Page covers these as well in more depth. There are pictures of these at an FAR site as well: http://www.rafanddfsa.co.uk/Photgraphs.htm#Oldies
UPDATE: Price was $2500. **SOLD**
Engine is out. There is a minor title issue.
“Up for sale is a 1960 Forward Control FC-150 truck. This is an amazing original condition truck that has been kept under cover for the last 10-12 years I’ve owned this truck. This truck has the original two-toned paint still on it! There is NO rust in the usual places for these trucks. No cancer (rust through) that I can see, just minor surface rust. This is the first year of the wider axels for better stability. I was converting this truck to a Buick V6. I have most the parts, including the engine, bellhousing, flywheel, clutch & exhaust. The engine is currently NOT installed in the truck. Installed in the truck is the original transmission, with WARN OVERDRIVE. It is a 4×4. The drivelines are installed as well. It does have the engine cover that goes inside the cab! Back fenders are slightly modified, but could be returend to original shape. Modified to fit a 5 gallon gas can on either side. This was a good idea as it adds weight over the rear axels. Breaks do no work in the thuck however, the emergency break does. Front windshild is in good shape, which is the important one! Back & side windows need glass replaced. The side windows do roll up & down. Tires hold air but are old. I have the title to this truck. However, the husband signed over and the wife did not as she had passed away. Oregon DMV said that to correct this You need to get a death certificate which can be obtained from the state or county. OR if you turn in the title to DMV and it shows the person as deceased, there is no issue.
It’s a project. I think that is a MB/GPW Tub.

No pics provided. Between the Winch and the new motor, this sounds like a great price.

There’s value here. No motor.
“1949 Jeep CJ2A minus motor, interior and wiring harness. Great project for the right person! $500 obo with title. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
I guess this jeep was used to back into hunting areas, hence the cammo is only on the back.
“260 NAIL HEAD BUICK MOTOR-RUN’S GREAT. HAS BILL OF SALE, BUT NO PAPERWORK, NOT STOLEN JUST HAVEN’T HAD THE TIME.”
There appears to be value here. No engine.

This appears to run and drive.

UPDATE: **SOLD** was $2650.
This had such an unusual bumper, that I thought I’d post it.
“SELLING OFF TOYS … 1956 WILLYS JEEP CJ. $2650.00 WITH A PTO WINCH, DANA 18 , T 90 3 SPD. TRANS. 1965 289 ENG. ORIGINAL FRONT AND REAR SEAT FRAMES. WILL RUN!!!! IN GREAT SHAPE..

The top looks pretty good.

I can’t say I’ve seen a double barrel shotgun shifter. This does need a little work.
“Up for sale is a 1951 Willys Wagon with a newer rebuilt Chevy 283 motor with a 350 trans, runs real well. Wagon has custom exhaust, vintage octogon wooden sterring wheel, new tires, great brakes, all lights work, custom double barrel shotgun shifter, with the original BLACK License plates! Wagon was lowered 3 inches and has a real nice stance. Interior is all there but will evenutally need some updating, has original bench seat, with a slot in the back for another one, original wood paneling on the floor, and gauges. Windows have some cracks but i think it adds charecter seeing they are all original, windows go up and down as they should but are a bit tight. Doors both open but will need some work to get them to open, close, and lock as they should, all pretty standard for a car thats 60 years old. Only rust spot is right below the drivers side cowel, no other rust noted. The bottom was completly sprayed with undercoat protectant POR 54, the car really looks clean and O have yet to see antother one on the road.
Overall runs really well, hits 65 mph on the freeway no problem and will run all day, no overheating what so ever. She leaks oil as all old cars do but nothing out of the ordinary, it does have slight blowby coming out of the valve cover vents, needs a PCV valve installed.
I have the hood and the front fenders and they will come with the car, they will need to be extended about 5 inches to fit the front end again due to extending the front grill to install an aftermarket electric fan. Easy work and can be done at any metal fab shop.
Want a car that turns heads every day, this is the one. Would make a killer surf wagon or beach crusier!
Looking for $6,900.00 obo or trades worth the same value, possibly a little up or down. Not looking for an car or truck newer than 1970 unless its a muscle car, prefer running and street legal with all documents. Vintage motorcylces are a possibility.
I have the pink.
Please no junk and no lowball offers. I have pleanty of pics. shoot me an offer and or email me with questions, leave a phone number and I will call you right back!!”

I’m sure someone could use these.
“I am selling a set of 15×10 inch rims that fit the big ford pattern. This is the same bolt pattern used on the older jeeps willys and suzuki, I bought these for my jeep but have the wrong back spacing for my jeep. These are the white spoke rims that clean up nice. These are not bent up or chewed up. I just cannot use them on my rig if I plan on driving it on the public roads. Asking 100 dollars or best offer.”

No pics provided. The title says “4 willys jeeps 4 sale all will be scrapped soon.” This seller was selling a 1942 GPW in 2009, so it is possible some of these are mb/gpw.
“call 414-305-1670 for more info CALL ONLY IF UYOU ARE SERIOUS NO SCAMMERS”
No pics provided.
“Have 7 larger boxes and several gaskets sets for early Jeep Willys. All appear to be NOS,. Not used. Most all in original boxes with part numbers still able to be read.

It doesn’t have the original engine, but it might be worth a look.

(10/03/2011) It’s a lot of parts, but quite a drive for most of us.
“1 – CJ-2a & 1 – CJ-3a jeep with extra parts including 7 engines, 4 trans/trans, 4 axles, seats, & misc. One engine professionally rebuilt and ready for installation.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $7778. Seller wants to sell by 5/15.
I might have had these pics on the wrong post … anyway, here’s the right pics on the right post.
“Restored 5 years ago 750 miles. looks good, drives well-been offered Audis and Sailboats-not adverse to trades, but a simple sale is best-this Jeep is now 64 years old, top speed is about 50mph, cruises 45mph-standard with the exception of 12 volt electrics and wheels”

These pictures could be straight out of a scenic shot from the Pacific Northwest, but instead were taken at the annual October Barfrosttreffet in Norway. Even is part of a club called the Flatfender Fellows and shared these wonderful pictures. This area shown below is about an hour north of Oslo.
UPDATE: From both emails I received and comments below, the consensus seems to be that the framework was built for pushing branches away, also called limb risers. As Brett suggested, I googled ‘tree limb risers’ and found something similar at a hummer site.
Gary’s father shot this photo around 1959 on the island of Tinian, which is part of the Northern Mariana Islands. He was wondering if anyone knows how the front rack was used?
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,000.
This looks like a very nice flattie. This appears to have a VEC body given the tool indents.
