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 .
I accidentally wandered across these unusual photos from the Timberlane’s thoughts blog. I’ve never seen a Civil Defense FC. Maybe someone out there knows more about it? I *think* this is in California, based on the front license plate. I have lightened all four shots. You can see the originals in the original post at the website.
This appears to be a nice build.
“1942 Ford Jeep (Willys), sb400, automatic, 4″ lift, 35″ Tires, Very fast, Very Cool looking Jeep. Starts, runs, carb needs to be rebuilt. Selling for a friend who had to leave the state for work.

Call Mitch at 505-385-0944.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700
This sure looks nice for $2700.
“Original classic. 6 volt Jeep Overland Company 2X4 pickup truck. Runs great and has had a lot of work done to it over the years keeping it original. The tires are new however they are cracked and need to be replaced. There is very little cancer (only on the door bottom and very little). The floor pan is whole and the doors have not been sprung. Has a heater and the smallest windshield wipers you have ever seen. New brakes and engine rebuilt a few years back. The interior is in really good shape. Drive a classic home for $2700 and run it for another 50 years.”
There have been a variety of upgrades. Might not be a bad price.
“This is an original Willy’s Jeep. It is a 1959 CJ5, and with the exception of the original body, Jeep has been modified throughout:
-1970 Buick 350 V8 Motor
-Dana 30 Front End
-Dana 44 Rear End rebuilt within last year
-Dana 20 Transfer Case
-Chevy 4-Speed Transmission with 1st Granny Gear
-Rancho 2.5 inch Suspension lift
-32 inch Tires with 80% tread left
-Brand new Warn locking hubs within last year
-New Radiator and water pump within last year
-New Batter, alternator and starter within last 1.5 years
-New Ignition coil within last 6 months
-Dual fuel tanks
-3 Custom steel storage boxes
Jeep is rough around the edges, but starts and runs great. Idles very smooth, and motor is very responsive. With all of the modifications, this is one of the best running Jeeps you will find. It is a perfect hunting rig or 4-wheeler. Being a 1959, no smog is necessary for registration. Registration is current. 4 seat belts.
Only interested in cash sale. No trades please. Call with questions. Andy – 916-919-4746. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200
This runs. It might be a good price.
“Got this Willy’s jeep from my brother several years ago with the dream of rebuilding it…… Well, wife says my time is up.
It was running right before I got it, just smoked a little so my brother took the engine out to rebuild it and that’s where this project has been for some time now. Engine is sitting inside the cab, tranny and driveline are still in. Everything seems to be original. Hate to see one of my dreams go, but reality seems to be taking over. Will dig the title out and find out if it is a 3a or 3b and what model year. $1200obo come take a look!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
It runs and appears pretty stock.
“1946 CJ2-A Willys Jeep… runs good, has original engine and ALL parts; I put an aftermarket carb on it and a reproduction fuel pump – however I have BOTH of the original pieces that can be re-worked and I’m sure they would work (I cleaned them both but just couldn’t get it to run with them).
New suspension all around, original military spec rims and good rubber.
Have a new shop manual as well – plus lots of odds and ends parts.
I have an extra fly wheel, extra front differential with hubs, extra steering wheel and neck assembly.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
It runs.
“1969 Jeep CJ-5, body is pretty rough but solid.
$1200obo. also interested in trades/partial trades possibly for motorcycle, atv, ?? just let me know waht you’ve got
the Jeep’s motor and transmission work great. drives great. can not start it for you though. i had taken it mostly apart and drained and flushed out the radiator etc.
just put it back together to sell.
PROS: good strong V6 motor and th350/th400 transmission, 1 ton axle in rear end, heavy duty rear bumper, 95% tire tread, everything works.
CONS: it is a project so it needs cosmetic work and paint, needs to be cleaned up a bit, front bumper is a little bent (easily fixed or brand new one is $80), automatic shifter needs to be either
replaced or just adjusted/fixed, carburetor needs to be cleaned out because it has been sitting for 6+ months.
NEW PARTS: air cleaner, breather, spark plugs and wires, battery, seats, seat brackets, fuel filter, fuel pump, fuel lines, front lights and casings, brake cylinder and some of the brake lines, battery wires,
and i think the brakes were rebuilt but can’t remember.
best way to contact me is to TEXT ME (816-500-6729) but you can call me also i just probably won’t be able to answer because i’m working 6 days a week so leave your name and number and i’ll call you back.
i have more pictures so if you want to see them just let me know”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2300.
This sure looks good for the price.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5800
(06/16/2010) This has a good looking half cab It appears to have the wood slats on the hood — I think I’ve now seen several of these with wood slats in Montana. I’m not sure why that is.

Area code is 406. Looks like a solid rig.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $20,000
This has 744 original miles?
“VERY CLEAN 1957 JEEP WILLYS 744 ORIGINALS MILES SOFT TOP 3 SPEED”
For quite sometime I have wondered where the below monument was located. I finally found out, from G503.com, where it is located. It is the Monument of Red Army WW2 drivers in Kyiv (Ukraine). Check out a variety of great pics from G503.com.
From G503 we can see the other side.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
Needs work. Runs.
“Hi, I bought this jeep a few months ago, got it running and then decided I have no need for this project… It is now running. Motor, trans, 4wd, all factory and all seem to work.. Tires in great shape. Needs a lot of work to make road worthy, or just a little to take on the trail… Let me know if you’re interested Thanks! Here’s a link to a video I made of it:”
UPDATE: I was too enamored by the white walls to notice these weren’t willys rims. Thanks Jim!
You gotta love the white walls.
“I have five 51 willys jeepster wheels up for sale.They are 5 lug wheels and with alittle cleaning they will look brand new again (978)758-1936”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700.
This looks like a great price.
“Brown jeep has a new 304, v8 engine and is smog exempt. Green jeep is for parts, the 6 cylinder in it just lost power.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay. Here’s another militarized jeep. Note there is no reserve on this. The bid price has already reached $5,665. I’m kind of surprised that the bidding has hit that height already. The ‘gun’ looks really fake in this one photo. The summary text seems fair.
It looks like in this case someone has taken a flattie in poor condition (which likely explains the missing rear wheel body areas) and turn it into something reasonably cool without investing too much money. Jim was one of the best at doing that.
“Great little jeep 98% restored as MB. Engine restored, NEW tires, intake/exhaust manifold, carb, head, fuel pump, wiring harness and rear suspension. New paint job, little rust on frame. Comes with all things seen in photo.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
I can’t tell how good the body is.
“1946 CJ 2a with a world war II Ford GPW body tub. Jeep was on a deer lease since the 1970’s in central texas. NO TITLE. I had it running and it moved under it’s own power but it doesn’t run very well. Needs complete restoration or use as parts. Rusty floor boards. Tires are shot but will hold air and can load on your trailer. Good for parts or if you are so inclined could be restored. Frame is in good shape, body is restorable. Comes with four 16″ wheels and tires. also, it only comes with the drivers seat. Email with questions.”
UPDATE: Was listed at $1050. Status Unknown.
(02/28/2011) Looks like a find jeep for the price.
“This is a good running, shifting, Willys 4×4. Good brakes and clutch, decent top. This vehicle has some minor rust, but the frame is solid. Tires are good. Overall rides and drives good. There is no title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3995
(06/18/2010) I don’t see much rust.
“4 cycle overhead valve Rare Collectors item runs great.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3500
(03/06/2010) Brent spotted this rare M-170 …. even rarer that it’s been slightly modded.
“1964 M170 Ambulance. This is the military version of a CJ-6. It came out of Nevada and is RUST FREE. It has a Chevy Small Block 350 engine, chrome headers, M/T valve covers, dual exhaust, Warn Overdrive Unit, after market bucket seats, new VDO gauges, new battery, chrome rims, and bigger tires. This is a very rare Jeep with only 4000 to 5000 ever made. $4,500.00
Description
The M170 (MDA) is basically a stretched M38A1. Only 4155 were produced between the mid-1950s and the early 1960s. They were used as ambulances. The production information available for these vehicles suggests a much more limited production run.
Drive Train
The M170 was available with the “Hurricane” F-Head 134 I4 engine, T-90 3 speed transmission, Dana 18 transfer case, Dana 25 front axle, and Dana 44 rear axle.”
