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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500
(04/09/2011) This has some mods.
“its a 1943 willies jeep with a 327 eng, T-90 trans, T-18 tranfer case, early modle 44 rear end with lock right locker, 3 inch body lift, 2 1/2 confer chackles, 8000 LB warm winch, upgrade CJ-5
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000. The seller claims this is all original, which isn’t true (hood bumps, front bumper, rear mounted tire, windshield … just for starters).
(10/19/2009) Though it’s got one missing, I like the round hood bumps.
“I have 46 all original willys jeep, nice runs good. Has new tires and rims tires are wild country 95% tread. Front seats have been redone. no top needs new wind shield, asking 5000 because all original is something to have, this jeep is an awesome hunting rig.”
old pics
UPDATE: **SOLD** (04/24/2011) It has some dings and dents, but otherwise appears pretty solid.
“1957 Jeep FC150 Forward Control 4×4. Jeep has the F134 4cyl engine, runs great. Transmission is a T90 3 speed, shifts well, and clutch works fine. D18 transfer case, 4wd works like it should. The truck comes with a Western snow plow and mount. Windshield has a crack, but I have a good replacement windshield. Small amount of rust on the cab corners, and above the windshield, but nothing major as this truck has been in dry Colorado its whole life.
The weather has been perfect for driving in the jeep. So, the boys and I have been cruising around Renton. I have to say it’s a bit surreal to be driving along both the backroads and city roads in Biscuit, many of which I last drove 25 years ago in my last jeep. No doubt my kids are tired of me saying things like, “I remember when ….” at which I go into some tale from my youth.
Yesterday I put the jeep into the horse pasture, or at least what was the horse pasture and is now an area full of grass, trees and bushes. Karson got to explore a bit in the jeep, testing out the 4wd and learning to dodge trees. He seemed to be having fun. Here are a few pics.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $650.
“For sale is a Koenig King Winch and Koenig Power Take Off comes with cable and joints 650.00 obo.”
I think this has a fiberglass body. To me, the rim around the edge looks wider than normal.
“Hi I have for sale a 48 willys cj2 has a clean Oregon title a cage complete front clip has original running gear as far as we know but it has a spring over done.

This is listed as a 1943 WWII jeep, but looks to me to be a CJ-2A.
“Selling a WWII Flat Fender Willies Jeep, has a standard transmission, and a Flat Head 4 Cylinder orginal engine. In fair condition, can be restored. Asking $500. Pictures coming soon! Call 210-287-8183 ask for T.”

(02/06/2011) “all original new brakes”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
(05/12/2011) Needs work.
“1947 willys jeep cj2a 4×4 project does not run but motor turns over good title $1200”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2500. This may be a scam. Apparently there is no Ladera in NM.
(04/19/2011) I can’t tell if this is a VEC or not.
“For sale one 1945 Willys Jeep CJ2a. The jeep seems to be mostly stock except for larger gas tank installed behind seats, the tailgate, and the carb not original oil bath and 12 volt . There are probably other things not original, but I am a total rookie on these Willys. During my period of ownership I had new pistons & rings installed, emergency brake, yokes, seals and new fluid in drive train. I believe the 4wd works; temp, oil pressure, speedometer work, the gas gauge and horn do not. The lights & turn signals work. Has a massive manual crank winch on front in case you get stuck. Vehicle runs & drives and started right up in the coldest of days this past winter.
I have a clean NM title in my name and is currently registered to drive on the street, though doesn’t go much past 40 mph.
$2500.00 cash only, no trades
Please call: 321-7380”

UPDATE: Check out the pics on thefcconnection site.
Steve reports on the Ouray 4th of July Festival. Learn more at the Forward Forum. See all the pictures here.
“Here is Craig and Jason’s big day in Ouray (You-ray), Colorado. It’s the mountain town’s signature event of the year, The Fourth Of July. They asked Craig to bring his restored San Juan Mountain Tour Truck to join in their parade.
Jason found one of the other original tour Jeep Forward Control trucks and surprised them with twins. He just finished the restoration just last week and headed strait for Ouray. Jason’s truck has the yellow signs that say, “Think.”
This links you to the Town’s website describing their 4th of July Festivities. Here are photos of the Two coolest FC trucks ever restored joining their parade. The red FC trucks came from the states of Missouri and Texas to join the reunion in Colorado. They even went on a trail ride across the old routes where the trucks carried tourists through the beautiful San Juan Mountains of Southern Colorado. What a cool experience; I wish I could have been there.”
There might be value here. No pics posted.

It doesn’t run and drive; instead, it runs and moves.
“1948 CJ2A willys jeep . started restoration . 4 wheel drive , 4 cyl. runs and moves”
http://macon.craigslist.org/cto/2483716676.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
“Very good working Willys jeep. Original F134 engine was overhauled and runs strong. mechanically sound. Body has very little rust and no bondo repairs. Also listing a 1964 CJ5 and a 1946 CJ2A.”
Here’s a cool truck listed over at jeeptruck.com. The price is a bit up there though.
“1955 Willys truck and trailer. Beautiful piece of collection. Original, was used as firetruck in a small village in Quebec, Canada. Trailer comes with hoses and water pump (500 gallon/minute). It has skis for winter. One of a kind. It works still very well. Asking $35,000 I have pictures for it”

“it is a 1953 willys jeep it runs very good 4×4 works body is in very good shape needs some work call me at 352 535 5199 ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800
The seller claims this is a 1962 Maverick, but I understand they were only produced in 1960? Glenn believes this may just be an old inventory item that was sold the next year. He also notes the side chrome is very hard to find. It may be worth a closer look.
“This is a rare “maverick” edition. I bought it to restore but have too many projects. It does need total restoration but all parts and body panels available. It does run but smokes. Needs brake work but emergency brake works. 6cyl 3spd and its 2wd.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(04/13/2011) Looks like a project.
“99% complete. Miles unknown, no title. Great restoration project. call Justin at 402-316-6173 with questions.”
